QUIZ RECAP

It was a dark and stormy night…  But that didn’t stop the bold and the curious from venturing into Kilarney’s in Fairview, Texas last night for some pub quiz entertainment swinging from the mild to the wild with a big Double or Nothing push in Round Three which put the pedal to the metal for the competitors as they plowed onward towards victory!  (Whew!  Have to take a breath there after that run-on sentence from hell!) 

A more curious puzzlement of rankings have I never seen as this particular match did spawn.  New comers The Alco-Ballics took first prize with a lead grab in round five.  IFFY! finished second with some consistent playing throughout.  Third place is another story entirely.  The third place ranking went to Team Lantz, who finished number three with points.  Unfortunately for them, they left the pub after round four and forfeited their prize!  Team Elgin, a pair of multi-taskers in the game room played pool and darts while writing down answers for the pub quiz, (reminding me of the adage, “show me a man who eats dinner and reads the paper while taking a bath and I’ll show you a man who doesn’t waste time!”) defaulted as the third place winners!  Come to think of it, if Team Rangers hadn’t Double-or-Nothing’ed in round seven, they would have defaulted as third place winner.  Of course, if Team Lantz hadn’t left in the first place…  Whoa.  Best not go there… 

It is worth mentioning that Kilarney’s Live is a really cool pub where one can have a surreal experience.  I could not help notice that one can actually watch TV at the urinals.  The X-Files was on when I went in there.  Not that I would recommend watching TV in the men’s room as a past time…  The fact that the X-Files was on in a public lavatory was a bit of irony that was not lost on Quizmaster Lou, though. 

All I can say is, the rain may have dampened the turn out, but not the enthusiasm of the King Trivia Pub Quiz at Kilarney’s that night!  Quizmaster Lou sayin’, “May ye be two hours in heaven afore the devil knows yer dead!”  Have great week, folks!
