QUIZ RECAP

The cavernous hall that is Kilarney's Irish Pub echoed with excitement during last night's King Trivia Quiz set. Much of this was set off by newbie team I'll Google It!, whose boisterous enthusiasm livened up an already energized crowd. Welcome also to the daring duo, Dr. Morningwood, who drolly reminded Quizmaster Lou what it was once like. (You had to be there... Or, maybe not.)

The Poonswagglers, normally able contenders for the winner's circle, had a great start, but hamstrung themselves with an early, incorrect Round 4 guess as to who our famous painter was. It reminded this quizmaster of one Franz Liebkind, who once exclaimed, "Der Fuhrer vas a great painter! He could paint an entire apahtment in von ahfternoon. Two coats!"

Other quiz madness included the universal wrong guess that John Leguizamo was Jim Carey or that Macklemore was Elton John. Sometimes, one might think that King Trivia is trying to fool us! Nah... And talk about a reversal of fortunes, finding the connection in Round 5 is usually a lot harder than guessing the answers to the questions, but it was the other way around this time. (Unless you were intimately knowledgeable of Johnny Cash's discography!)

Excitement abounded. I'll Google It! beat IFFY! out of a third place tie breaker. Resident champs, Tequila Mocking birds fell to second place while the Divorcees snagged first, all on account of they knew a few more places where coffee came from.

Well, that's all the news that's fit to print. But since this is going up on the internet, the standards are a lot lower. (That's a joke, son...) Have a great week! So sayeth Quizmaster Lou...
