"Thirty days hath September" begins the poem that teaches us how
many days are in each month and it was on that thirtieth day
that Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop hosted its second successful
King Trivia Pub Quiz! Seven teams consisting of twenty-four
players threw down the gauntlet and jousted in the lists for
the opportunity to win some free stuff from behind the java
counter.
Newbie Teams T.J., Jodie Foster Fan Club and That Is A Very
Good Question (henceforth known as TIAVGQ) had some fun and
learned about the rigors of pub quizzing. Veteran players
Team Finn, Pickles on a Plate, Rockafellers and Deadly Alliance
acted as mentors demonstrating both aplomb and Noblesse oblige
during the proceedings while simultaneously gobbling up the
higher scores. Pickles won third place, Rockafellers got second
and the Deadly Alliance snapped up first place with a daring
Double-or-Nothing leap on the Round Five Find-the-Connection
round, getting all ten questions correct including making the
"connection"! Great stuff!
Hats off once more to our quiz writers who provided us with
some distinct subjects and assorted querries. This produced
some amusing responses to which Quiz Master Lou just had to
award some meaningless style points. The Picture Round this
week required identifying the actual (Judge Judy) or fictional
(Judge Dredd) judge. Nobody knew who Judge Mills Lane was from
his picture as a referee in the boxing ring so the guesses ranged
from Ernie Pechco (?) to Celebrity Death Match Judge. Brit
actor Hugh Laurie got identified as Harvey Styles (whoever that
is) while Susan Lucci got pegged as Trixie Mattel (WTH?!?)
Finally, QM Lou won the "My Joke Fell Flat Award" when observing
that the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission
is that fusion's by product is helium while fission produces
bass or trout. (Silence) Bass or trout? (Crickets)
That's all I've got. Have a great weekend! QM Lou signing off...
