Well, we had a bit of a kerfuffle this week at The Brewyard Beer Company in Burbank, involving the excellent, wonderful, talented, gracious and entirely lovely ladies running operations behind the bar, Liz and Vicki.

Yes, the do a great job, to be sure. And we're always delighted when they opt to participate in the quiz. But still, an incorrect (or incomplete) answer is still incorrect. And it is the Quizmaster's job to maintain certain standards of fairness and accuracy.

So when "The Bartenders" team responded to a question asking what Han Solo won from Lando Calrissian in a card game in Star Wars with "the Falcon," and every other team correctly answered "the MILLENIUM Falcon," we had no choice but to ding 'em a point.

Did they take this decision with grace and good humor? No, they did not. Well, good humor, sure. But grace? Uhm...no. There was name calling. There was bird flipping. A suggestion was made as to where your faithful QM could put his microphone. It was hurtful. (But not as hurtful as if I had taken the microphone advice!)

Worst of all, bar goddess Liz abused her position by offering free beers to trivia players who agreed to come up and dis this humble QM, questioning both his judgment and his parentage. You'd be surprised just how many quizzinators were more than willing to do this.

Ultimately, we had no choice but to award the Bartenders 10 bonus points*. Lesson learned: never engage in battle with the Bartenders. Especially at The Brewyard. See ya next week.

*note: the 10-point bump resulted in The Bartenders still finishing in last place! Take THAT, Liz!
