Name: Jim (aka "Jimmy Neutron") Kirchhoff
Age: Would you still believe 16?
Quiz: Souk [editors' note: currently defunct - for now at least - Jim has found temporary refuge under Kro's wing]
Amount of years in Beijing: Eight
Strengths: The gift of gab.
Weaknesses: Kryptonite.
I'm running a quiz in Beijing because: I crave the spotlight.
Specialty?subject: Girls.?Who am I kidding? I run a quiz....
How come no girls run quizzes? Because the guys would never stop hitting on them.?It would be like wolves stampeding toward an injured rabbit.
How do you rate the competition? In answering questions, I give them the edge. In entertaining a crowd, get in line, boys.
How do you rate your chances? Terrible. I'm just here for the free beer.??
Our odds: Worryingly, Jim is under the impression that his weekly "banter" as compere of a local quiz ranks as entertainment. For that alone, we're worried whether he might have a touch of Charlie Sheen Syndrome and start talking about "earthworms entering his immortal octagon" or some such. That said, we quite like Charlie Sheen - but we still feel the need to punish Jim for his unfailingly US-centric quizzing. 14-3
Hey guys!Come celebrate the fantastic Irish holiday of drinking and brawling known as St. Patrick's Day tonight with a PARTY at KRO'S NEST, hosted by our own jim and tao! We will be passing out some free Jamesons and beer during our Irish-themed trivia night and trying to convince Ginny to boat race another team by himself with car bombs!
The Theme is GREEN and St. Patrick's Day. Wear a costume, win some free stuff!!! Woot woot!
Doors are open all night, we'll be swinging the party into gear starting at 8pm. Trivia and prizes will be happening as well starting at 8:30.
Venue: Kro's Nest. No. 35 Xiao Yun Lu, Chaoyang District across from the Renaissance Hotel, near Bellagio restaurant
Bring friends!
Save-the-date! We are organizing a dinner for Saturday March 26, details to be confirmed but expect 7pm, and somewhere near Andingmen at a local Chinese restaurant. It'll be an opportunity to meet and mingle with players from the different teams in Beijing. If you are interested to join, let me know (by emailing me) so I can make reservations. thanks and hope to see as many if you out as possible.
保留日子！我们将在周六3月26日举办晚宴。细节还需要确认，但是应该是晚上7点钟在安定门附近的中国餐馆。你如果有意思参加，请让我知道我好做预约。谢谢。希
望到时能见到大家，人越多越好。
The 5th annual China Nationals tournament will be in Beijing on May 21-22, and here's your chance to contribute in a big way.We have secured a deal with Discraft, but we need to send in a disc design before the end of the month, so here's what I'm hoping this community can provide:
An IDEA for a disc design by Saturday, March 19. I have an idea that may or may not work, so if you're an arts/design person, let me know and we will form a crack team of disc designers and get together some day and hammer something out.
A final GRAPHIC by Monday, March 28. Again, see above note: I'm willing to make a design team and whip up a design on some day.
You will be rewarded with a Discraft disc, credit for the design in tourney packet, and ... I'll think of something else.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT REQUEST: Will anyone be in the U.S. around mid-May and COMING BACK TO BEIJING at that time? Because we would ask if you can bring back a bag of discs for us via carry-on. You will be compensated. Please let me know.
Pick-up for the next few weeks will ONLY be on Wednesdays, 7-9pm at Beijing City International School (BCIS).
我们在三月份只有周三有pick-up. 晚上7-9点在乐城国际学校.

[Big Brother] Tao's dark, blank, sexy eyes?
Name: Anthony Tao
Age: 26
Quiz: Kro's Nest
Amount of years in Beijing: This is the start of year four, though the answer is 10 if you count the time I spent in Beijing for the first 5.5 years of my life and subsequent summer visits.
Strengths: Ultimate Frisbee
Weaknesses: Approaching women sitting by themselves at cafes
I'm running a quiz in Beijing because: It's fun
How come no girls run quizzes? I'm sure they do in the privacy of their double-x-chromosoned coteries, along with plotting to outlive men and take over the world.
How do you rate the competition? My only competition is myself, so...depends on how much I've been drinking.
How do you rate your chances? 100, if you're talking about with your mom. Unless she's at a cafe right now.
Specialty subject: Baseball
Our odds: They call him "Tao." But that's his name. It begs more questions about the man than it answers, and we were already baffled by his ability to consume table-sized discs of pizza on a weekly basis while still remaining so streamlined. Is there a potential dark horse lurking behind those dark, blank, sexy eyes? We think there might be. 8-1
