QUIZ RECAP

Item #1: Ya gotta have some compassion for the bold and intrepid members of Bring Back $3.50 Dos Equis. I mean, sheesh! They submitted not one; not two; but THREE answer sheets that resulted in unsuccessful doubles, resulting in - you know - ZERO points. But there they were, laughing and smiling the whole time! Gotta love that.

Bad news, guys...despite your having dropped the $3.50 price point, Dos Equis is NOT coming back. So I guess you have no option but to...Stay thirsty, my friends!! (HA! See what I did there!?!)

Item #2: I don't know why, but I was especially tickled with the team name "Clam Slappers" tonight. I mean, I wasn't sure what it meant, but it just sounded funny to me, and I laughed out loud every time I read the scores. My curiosity got the best of me while I was writing this recap, so I looked it up (adults only) in Urban Dictionary, and...well...yeah. That's what I thought it might mean. Still sounds funny.

Item #3: There's a friendly little competition underway among us (very competitive) quizmasters, wherein our founder and visionary leader Josh selects one quiz recap each week and designates it the best of the bunch. Well I gotta say, I'm a little miffed. This week's winner was an entirely fictional, wholly imaginary (but well written, I gotta admit) account of Brad Pitt participating in a King Trivia quiz.

Let me be clear: This did not happen! No Brad! No Pitt!

But back here in the real world, I have been secretly dating Angelina Jolie! (I know! That is soooo ironic, right!?) but I'm too much of a gentleman to tell anyone about it! (She's hot, yes...but kind of a handful to deal with, right Brad!)

Anyway, you can read the winning Brad Pitt post HERE, and if you'd like to tell Josh how you feel about your loyal and earnest quizmaster, you can use THIS FORM. See ya next week!
