QUIZ RECAP

As the Lakers, NHL playoffs, and 1993 World Series played in the televisions, The Oaks Tavern hosted its own knowledge-sport event as eight teams took part in tonight's King Trivia.

The Valley Girls went home with the top prize after answering the Guess Who? Round on the eight-point clue. Aww, Shucks! had a remarkable grasp of the Matching Round's subject of British slang and finished second. After losing a tiebreaker last time, Ceviche took sole possession of third place this week.

I apologize for not anointing our teams with sacred oils behind a screen. I'm afraid King Charles III used it all. Next coronation, I promise!

QUIZ RECAP

The rain outside held off until the end of tonight's King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern, but inside, the players rained answers down upon the Quizmaster. Remind me to never put it that way again.

Thin Lizzy took a commanding lead with a successful Double Or Nothing in the Find the Connection round and never looked back. Kim Makes Pizzas She Really Does finished in second place. The magical and mystical Tiebreaker was needed to determine third place between Doms Family and Ceviche. The Family came closest to the Target (the question was about the founding of Target, so this is a terrific joke!)

QUIZ RECAP

During tonight's King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern, a small pig named Wilbur walked in and noticed a spider on the wall. "Hey," said Wilbur, "that spider is weaving a message in its web!" "What does it say, my porcine pal?" I replied.

The extruded silk told us that Door City Over Here impressed her when they scored 20 points in the Matching Round, as did Tequila Tots with a perfect Final Round. The final thought of the proteinaceous posting was how happy our arachnid acquaintance was that Damn It, Kim came in third while also winning the Drinking Round.

With that, Wilbur headed for the door and, without a goodbye, trotted out into the warm Sherman Oaks evening. "Rude!" proclaimed the spider who then added, "Oh wow! Speaking is a much easier form of communication that stringing words out my butt."

See you next Wednesday for more King Trivia at The Oaks.
