2026 Achewood Trivial Pursuit: Test Your Knowledge! (Patreon)

This got me thinking that a live, regular Achewood Trivia session — with prizes, a boxed juice sponsor, and camaraderie — would be a hoot. What's a good platform for such an event, where people don't have to create some complicated two-factor-authentication account, and older users don't have to figure out what Discord is?

Many years ago I regularly attended bar trivia night at a townie dive called Spud Monkey's, out east on the border between Portland and the despairing tracts of Gresham. (I wasn't drinking at the time, but my girlfriend of that era certainly made me wish I was.) Spud Monkey's specialized in loaded baked potatoes, dirty tots, and the limp variety of fresh-cut fries that remind you of a lifetime smoker's upper lip. The Trivia Master, a nice younger fellow whose name I forget, turned out to be an Achewood fan, which made me feel pretty cool. He drove a very old yellow Volvo station wagon. I hope he's okay now. Spud Monkey's isn't okay: they closed a few years ago, but the real miracle was that they were ever open in the first place.

Also, how'd you do?
