QUIZ RECAP

KTPQ reigned last night at Dunn Brothers Coffee in Plano as five teams fairly took over the joint for their usual Thursday night Trivia romp!  The Rockerfellers ruled after a return from a rollicking revue of the Carribean with a first place win.  A nice way to be welcomed back for sure.  Always Late swept second place serenely while Pickles on a Plate picked up third with aplomb.  The Bowtie Alpacas arrived late, which threw them off a bit, relegating them to fourth position.  A warm welcome to newbies The Bochrim (The Boys in Hebrew), who wound up last in scoring but first in fun.  We hope to see them back!  

A most interesting question set was provided, as always, by our benevolent benefactors of blue book balderdash.  The Picture Round required identifying the Las Vegas Hotels depicted.  The gallows humored wag who couldn't remember the name of Mandalay Bay wrote down "that one a guy shot a bunch of people from"!  Style points were archly awarded...  A question on the Theme Round asked for the name of the gland that regulates growth.  Naturally, Quiz Master Lou advised the audience that 50's sci-fi films such as The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Amazing Colossal Man, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Tarantula, et al, would have supplied the answer. QM Lou had to take umbrage to the Round Five question which asked for the alternate name of Sasquatch by classifying the creature as "fictional"!  There is actually a body of evidence compiled by serious researchers and supported by none other than radio talk show host Michael Medved that the critter is real!  "Fictional Monster" indeed!  Hrumph!  But, I digress...  Couch potatoes got a leg up on the Handout Round when asked to match Hosts to their Game Show and boardgame enthusiasts scored points with a Scrabble question on Round Seven.  Kudos to the quiz writers!  

Until next week, this is QM Lou saying, "May the good quiz be yours!"
