QUIZ RECAP

Pittsburgh weather is messing with us yet again.  WE were supposed to get snow on Tuesday, but the storm missed the city "by that much."  Today, it thought all darned day about raining and on my bus/walk trek to Aslin tonight, the sky spit a few drops on the industrial strength case of my new-to-me mobile phone (S22 Ultra for those following along with boring things).  However--no actual weather weathered.

Aslin's Trivianistas brought the competition tonight.  16 teams answered questions about royalty, fathers and figures (statues), and the Stillers (not THOSE, Yinzers, the acting family!) among other topics.

In the end, Doodle Gang came out on top on their second time with us (i hear that's the charm)!  Regulars The Quizzantine Empire were just one spot out of first and Team A brought up the rear of our prizewinners this evening.

Blue Team won the soon-to-be-famous You're Not the Worst prize.  They were the 2nd to last place team still in the bar at the end of the night!  They won a snazzy certificate and a pack of stickers curated by meeee!

Wrong Answer of the Game:  Poor Paddington Bear.  Instead of rightly putting that his favorite sammich spread was "marmalade," one ambitious (Australian) team wrote "Vegemite."  I should have played Land Down Under as a thank-you.  I promise, it was running in my head!

We also started League Play tonight.  What's that?  It's a way for you to track your team's points over all the games in the country between now and June 30!  Plus, there are extra special prizes at the end from KT HQ.  Season XX is UNDERWAY.

Remember: February is the short month; if you can't be right be funny; and keep on quizzing.
