Tonight's Not-So-Secret Secret Clue

Oh, you so love it. Tonight the BQT returns to Drom, in the East Village, with five more rounds of trivial excitement, including one very special question for which you can utilize this very special clue…

"Higher"

Chew on that, why don't you. 7:30pm, 85 Avenue A (between 5th and 6th). Party on.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Trying something a little different this time: It's a visual Not-So-Secret Secret Clue. Your chance to use those eyes you've been keeping around just for the hell of it. Gaze upon the following…

What do these people have in common?

It's not a ten fingers and a spleen, I'll tell you that. Figure it out and bring that realization with you to tonight's Big Quiz Thing, back at (Le) Poisson Rouge, at the special time of 7pm! Oh, it so is on.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

But of course. Use this clue at tonight's Big Quiz Thing, at Drom in the East Village…

How many days will it be since Christmas?

Use it when I give the word. And remember: Starting tonight, we're doing $300 in cash prizes (and, alas, a $10 cover). Be there with bells on.

It's THE NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE!

Yes it is! Tonight the Big Quiz Thing is finally back, 7:30pm at Crash Mansion, and we got a clue to help you along…

Saturday Night Live 1995–2002

How 'bout that? Use it when we give the word at tonight's super-tremendous quiz: 7:30pm, after the special Jeopardy! viewing party, hot prizes at stake. You know you love it.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Yes indeed, kids: Another Not-So-Secret Secret Clue, for handy-dandy use at tonight's BQT (back at the Midtown Theatre). And here we go…

Arriba y arriba!

I believe this is the first ever NSSSC in a language other than English; I'll have my research team get right on confirmation of that. But be warned, tonight's BQT just might challenge your linguistic skills. 7:30pm, only $7, $250 in cash prizes, it's on.

Yes! The NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

It has returned: We got a Not-So-Secret Secret Clue for tonight. Use it when I give the word at this special Tuesday-evening show, 7:30pm at the Midtown Theatre…

You need it while scuba diving.

Intriguing, no? See you tonight…

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

And here we go. Here's the NSSSC for tonight's BQT. Letters are nice:

You never forget how.

And there you have it. Use it when the wacky theme song is heard, 7:30 at Crash Mansion—the last BQT before the NYC Clash of the Trivia Champions! Oh, it's a little wistful, isn't it…

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Ready? Okay, here…all right, someone in Queens isn't ready yet. [Pause] All set? Good. Here's tonight's Not-So-Secret Secret Clue…

She thought his face was too thin.

A-HA! Good luck with that. Tonight, 7:30pm, back at (Le) Poisson Rouge. Try the grilled cheese.

The return of THE NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

You almost forgot, didn't you? Use this crafty hint at tonight's Big Quiz Thing (Crash Mansion, 7:30pm) when I say the word, and do better than some other people (possibly).

Perhaps the country ran on it.

Wha huh? Well, I couldn't just hand it to you on a silver platter, could I? See you tonight.

Yes, there is a NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Oh no, it is not limited to Mondays, no, sir. We do have a Not-So-Secret Secret Clue for tonight's Summer Fun Spectacular. (And while the clue itself has nothing to do with summer, the question—as are all the questions tonight—is summerrific.) Here we go…

"Block Sender"?

A-ha! 7:30 tonight at 92YTribeca, just below Canal on Hudson Street. Buy tickets now!!!

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Here you go, smarty. Use this clue tonight. And it is…

I like my salad with croutons.

What the hell am I talking about? You'll just have to wait till tonight, my friends. We're back at (Le) Poisson Rouge, 7:30pm. We got "The Museum of Painting Mash-Ups," "Never Break the Musical Chain," and myriad other delights. Par-tay.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE: Two points!

Really: I decided, for the very first time, to apply the Not-So-Secret Secret Clue to one of the game's two-point questions because…well, no real reason. Just that when I looked at the question lineup for tonight's quiz (back at Crash Mansion, don't forget), one of the two-pointers presented itself as the best candidate. If it further incentivizes the kids to tune in the BQT on their Facebooking and Twittering machines, so be it.

And the clue is…

There's an h in there.

An h? You mean the letter? Or a figure shaped like the letter? What does italicizing a letter indicate, according to the BQT Blog style guide (which, no, doesn't exist, even though I suppose that wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world, knowing myself).

Find out tonight, when you use this tidbit to earn that juicy two points. Plus, I've given you a fun maze there.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

See, this is what Memorial Day is all about: Remembering to check this blog to get your free clue. (Too much of a stretch?)

Tonight's Not-So-Secret Secret Clue is…

Think flags

And don't forget, we're back at (Le) Poisson Rouge, Bleecker Street at Thompson Street, 7:30pm. Try the grilled cheese.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Here we gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Not the Yellow ones, but…

Ah, what could it be? Use it when you hear the wacky theme, tonight, 7:30pm at Crash Mansion. See you there as vague, poorly lit outlines in the audience.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Here it is, what the world has been waiting for. (What?)

For tonight's Big Quiz Thing, at Crash Mansion, the Not-So-Secret Secret Clue is…

If you’re female, you know it’s true.

Now, does this represent an unfair advantage for lady quizgoers? Perhaps; one could say the frequent stream of superhero questions represents an unfair male advantage, and this is merely an effort toward balance. Or maybe gender has nothing to do with it. One way to find out, kids!

7:30pm tonight, Crash, Bowery at Spring. Party time, excellent.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Yes, it's really here (in addition to Facebook and Twitter); enjoy, people who work with crazy teenagers.

Tonight's NSSSC is…

A bunch of you live there.

What could it be? Straightforward or cleverly punning? You'll have to come to Crash Mansion tonight at 7:30pm to find out, and to use this clue when I give the word. Five rounds of trivial action, including "The Mega-Ultimate Word Game!," the "Spring Is in Bloom" audio round, and the Lightning Round, plus Smart-Ass Points and the Big Three-Way Finale, along with $250 in cash prizes and tix to the diabolically funny 666. Let's do it.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE!

This is so, so awesome.

Tonight's Not-So-Secret Secret Clue is…

A story about multiple municipalities.

What, of what, could it be? Pretty much only one way to find out: Come to the show tonight. Or tomorrow, ask a friend who went. Or ask me tomorrow. But I'd rather you come to the show: Crash Mansion, 199 Bowery, 7:30pm. Wa-hoo.

And again, the picture has nothing to do with it. The letter M, you see.

This evening's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Can you feel the excitement! Tonight's NSSSC is…

No ladies allowed?

Make use of that cryptic nugget this evening, 7:30pm, at (Le) Poisson Rouge. It could be the key ingredient that turns a night of scintillating multimedia trivia into a night of scintillating multimedia trivia that earns you money.

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Beautiful! Here it is: the NSSSC for this evening. Remember, we're back at (Le) Poisson Rouge tonight, 7:30. And we'll be there again in two weeks, March 1—more than ever, keep an eye of the BQT's various Internet presences to know where we'll be at all times.

Use this clue tonight when the wacky graphic/sound cue hits:

Oh, it's so fine.

Mysterious! All will be revealed tonight. (And no, Larry the Stooge has nothing to do with it, but his last name was Fine, and I really couldn't think of more appropriate image without giving something away. Work with me here.)

Tonight's NOT-SO-SECRET SECRET CLUE

Ready?

Think Alabama

Use it at tonight's BQT when I give the word. 7:30pm, Crash Mansion, you're welcome.
