QUIZ RECAP

Happy New Year all you trivia buffs!  And especially to our stalwart players who came out in thirty degree weather to "chill out" at Dunn Brothers and test their knowledge.  Always Late was actually on time and even registered their team!  It must have had some kind of effect on their accumen because they walkeed away with first place!  The Bowtie Alpacas changed their residency from the Heritage Pizza & Taproom to bunk in with Quiz Master Lou here at Dunn Bros and they won second place!  The Sun Kings may have missed the sun but they won the tie breaker and came in third against the Dunn Bros Counter Staff team who just played for fun while the lovely Evelyn kept everyone's glass filled, plate full and rallied the counter help to stay in the game! 

Kudos to our quiz writers at corp, who also kept our wits keen and our fits mean with some outstanding puzzlers.  As you know, this often leads to unintentional mirth when wild guesses produce absurd results.  For example, if one has no idea who Dorothy Dandrige was, then Betty White is a funny guess.  (We mourn the old gal's passing but are amazed that she keeps us laughing even after she's gone.  Must've been her super power...) A tip of the hat as well, for the Picture Round's pictures of words and letters as brain teasers.  Very clever.  And finally, Round Five's Find-the-Connection was so in-your-face that nobody got it.  The groan factor was palpable on that one!  

Well, here we are in 2022.  According to the movie poster, this is the year of Soylent Green.  While the manufacturers assure us Soylent Green is not people, I ain't comsumin' it!  Of course, Blade Runner took place in 2019 and we still don't have flying cars...  What?  What's that? The Jetson?  I thought that was a cartoon...
