Thanks for putting this pub quiz together. Tons of fun. Stumptown is straight up intellectual superstars. My cat Mojo is pretty devistated. He is gonna sleep the next 16 hours to get back in the right frame of mind, and his brother already threw up in the corner over this verdict.....just kidding that is what they always do!!!
