QUIZ RECAP

It was another great night at Rocco's Culver City and even though many of the players only game for the Dodger game, they got just as excited by trivia! It was a pretty tight race for most of the night with the bulk of the teams being a point or two away from each other and it wasn't until the final rounds did a clear winner emerge. This week PHILOSOPHICAL DISTINCTION took the crown (and the $40 certificate) while SAD ROCKETS, last week's champs, had to settle for silver. MELTDOWN MINA eeked onto the podium for third and happily took their prize and ran!

QUIZ RECAP

Who wasn't at Monday trivia at Rocco's? YOU! You seriously need to come. The pizza smells so amazing that I almost stole a slice from a little child.

Mr. T Says... took an early lead with a few successful doubles, but Sad Rockets rocketed - eh - to the top in the second half. It came down to the last round and THEY TIED! Sad Rockets took the titles (and the $40 gift certificate) with the tie breaker. The Frisky Kitties held on respectfully to their third position place and made it to the podium.

QUIZ RECAP

Two months ago, a boy had a dream. This plucky young-ish farm boy got off the bus with a twinkle in his eye and came to Rocco's Culver City to audition to be a quizmaster. Now he returns to run the very show that gave him his start. And what a homecoming it was - cheers, thunderous applause, and teams yelling at me when I caught them cheating. It's really the life. What a dream...

It was great to be back at Rocco's, though I wished my sound equipment worked better! Next week, I swear. Too bad not many people could name Drake's #1 songs, but I get it. He'll always be Jimmy Brooks to me.

PADDINGTON KILLS came out swinging with successful doubles at the top, but slipped once we got to the Guess Who. They just couldn't decide which Kennedy I was talking about. Through a brief kerfuffle with five teams in arm's reach of first place, they regained a comfortable lead and won.

Yet, the biggest heartbreak comes with the drinking round as Paddington Kills was poised to win with guessing closest to the area of Rhode Island, off by 212 square miles. But a last minute addition by a new team cancelled that as they were off by only 3 SQUARE MILES! I would've called them out for cheating if they weren't sitting right in front of me when they answered.

PHILOSOPHICAL DISTINCTION held onto his bridesmaid spot that he had throughout the game (and declined to get his picture for the website because of the fame involved) while BEYONCE x 2 squeaked past JUST THE TWO OF US to clinch 3rd.

Just The Two Of Us deserve a shout out for the best guesses at Drake songs with "Drake Me Up (Before You Go Go)" and "Drake On Me."
