QUIZ RECAP

Kilarney's crowd may have been a low turn out, but the enthusiasm was stadium sized as Quizmaster Lou emceed another Tuesday's KT pub quiz. Regulars IFFY!, Blood, Bath & Beyond, Poonswagglers and Tequila Mockingbirds stood off against newcomers Ram Rob 96, the Jarheads and Team Diego.

Tequila Mockingbirds grabbed the lead with a successful Double-or-Nothing in Round Two and held it all the way to the end, reclaiming their title of resident champs. Newbies Team Diego (from San Diego, CA no less!) sailed into a second place win with some consistent, correct answers. Poor IFFY! got knocked out of third place in the final two rounds by the Poonswagglers, who swaggled their way into the winner's circle with shoulders and elbows.

Some fun moments with Quizmaster Lou's pirate joke in honor of the Theme Round. I'll only reveal the punchline here... "I only had the hook for one day!" The best desperately wrong answers to the name of Blackbeard's ship were the Black Pearl, the Jolly Roger and the Jolly Rancher.

The true couch potatoes revealed themselves with the most right answers to the Picture round's identify the company by the commercial spokesperson as well as those who successfully matched the most TV bars with their series title for the round six Hand Out.

And finally, the round seven Trio of Science questions included some elements not on the Periodic Table beginning with the letter 'O', such as Opossium (whose properties pretend to be dormant when observed) and Obvious (whose properties are simultaneously self evident and nebulous). With answers like those, Quizmaster Lou pondered why Upsydasium and Unobtanium did not make the list.

Have a grand week, y'all!
