The action at Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop was exciting last night
to say the least. The Jody Foster Fan Club (JFFC) took home
first place with aplomb while Deadly Alliance, severely under-
manned, finished last. The drama occurred when Rockerfellers
slugged it out with the Bumble Bees to win a tie breaker for
second and third places, respectively.
There was an excellent cross section of questions from our
trivia overlords as well. This led to some pretty good entries
for Quiz Master Lou's Mirth Department of Wrong Guesses of
Desperation. For example...
The U.S. equivalent of Britain's John Bull is Uncle Sam. But
one team put down Smokey Bear. (I wonder if the UK has a Smokey
Bear equivalent? Sooty Nigel?) The Picture Round challenged the
players to name the actor playing a vampire. No one could identify
Jemaine Clement from What We Do in the Shadows, but one team put down Donahue Van Burton. Puzzled, QM Lou tried googling said name and came up empty. Said team admitted they just made it up.
QM Lou quipped, "It's a mash up of Troy Donahue, Van Johnson
and Richard Burton." The Guess Who Round's subject was Avril
Lavigne, but QM Lou doesn't take off for spelling even though
one team's orthography was closer to Lasagne than Lavigne.
That's all I've got. Have a great weekend and don't take any
wooden pasta! (Now I'm hungry...)
