It was the best of quizzes, it was the worst of quizzes, it was
the age of discernment, it was the age of blindness, it was the
epoch of faith, it was the epoch of secularism, it was the
season of yes, it was the season of no, it was the
spring of optimism, it was the winter of misery, we had questions
before us, we had answers before us, we were all going to win,
we were all going to lose... In short, the past was so
far like the present, that some of its noisiest authorities
insisted on its being eradicated.
With apologies to Charles Dickens, that was of course, the
opening paragraph to a TALE OF TWO CITIES, horribly paraphrased
by your own Quiz Master Lou to fit some mad scheme to make our
pasttime more relevant that it really is. But, I digress...
The Rockerfellers had the juice last night, successfully
Double-or-Nothing twice in a row right out of the gate,
taking the lead and never looking back for a first place win
twenty points ahead of their nearest competitor! Deadly Alliance
(welcome back, BTW) finished second after a rough start.
JFFC picked up third place honors, also after a rough take
off and the Sun Kings, that adorable duo, finished last but
still had a good time!
The question set was really good, too. The Theme Round was
QM Lou's fave, alternating questions about movies based on
board games with conspiracy theories! Great stuff! The
Find-the-Connection Round's motif of TV Doctors was aslo
very clever. The Hand Out Round of matching songs with the
word "friend" in the title with their respective artists was
good, too; But QM Lou felt You've Got a Friend by Carole King
(James Taylor would have been an acceptable answer as well)
should have been included. Oh, well...
There will be no quiz next Thursday as it is Thanksgiving.
QM Lou wishes you all a happy holiday and will see you back
at Dunn Brothers in two weeks. Bye for now!
