QUIZ RECAP

No better place to be the week before St. Paddy's than at Boondocks! Was great to make some new friends and see some old friends over some crisp cold beer, even if I didn't have any. (The Knobheads will tell you I'm probably pregnant -- it's all fake news!)

Traveler's Diarrhea showed up after a hiatus that lasted several months, and though it was only a solo player tonight, it was still great to see him come in and do pretty well for being on his own.

S&E did really well, they just lacked the confidence (or just plain forgot) to double down on their general knowledge and TV character professions; a common theme among King Trivia virgins. It would have secured the third place spot, but that means I didn't hear complaints out of Hop On My Whatever. We hope S&E come back and give everyone a real run for their money next week!

The whole Hop On My Jetski tribe showed up to play, and not a single damn person knew who Samantha Bee was. They also knew the Round 5 connection was Mortal Kombat characters, but made their answer very generic anyway? Even when I told them they had to be specific? Pfft, they just felt so good about themselves they didn't even need to try all that hard. They went home with $10 and one of the Jetskis got a free drink for winning a riveting, complex game of High/Low, so the night was far from being a dud.

The best part of the night was watching Anne Frank's Hide & Seek Club come into Knobhead's house and disrespect the hell out of them (by getting more points, obviously, 'cause everyone was actually a total delight!). Anne Frank doubled down on general knowledge, Knobheads doubled down on Olympic gold medalists, then ended up holding a strong tie up until Anne Frank finally got to double down on their TV character occupations, securing their lead until the end of the game. With one gentleman from each team also getting a free drink from the super difficult High/Low game, it was hard for any egos to be bruised.

Wishing the Boondocks crew, its King Trivia players, and all it's regular bar patrons a safe and fun Saint Patrick's Day! Remember that truly being Irish has nothing to do with how much you can drink -- it's all about having a sunny attitude on a cloudy day, and always treating a stranger like he's your best mate. And okay, maybe some drinking. Slainte!
