Kilarney's was strangely quiescent last night. I'm told it's an out-of-the-ordinary time of year,
with people on vacation, teachers and students prepping for the return to school and quite
possibly, the break in the heat wave may have had something to do with it.
Only four regular teams showed up, though each was manned to the gills (each team had 6 to 9
people.) However, as the curious wandered in, they wanted to play King Trivia Pub Quiz, even
though the first two rounds had gone by! Welcome to newbies Charlie's Angels, who greatly
pleased Quizmaster Lou and the crowd when they stood up and did the Angel's pose (pistol,
walkie-talkie and karate chop)! And also welcome to the Baumz and the Super Hotties. Good
sports all, who played for fun even though they knew their chances of winning were dismal with
such a late start.
Excellent quiz questions, too. Especially the Winnie the Pooh ringers. Heffalump and Stan
the Woozle caused at least one Double-or-Nothing to crash. (Somebody tagged the Woozle as
Snoop Dog... Must've been the hat.) QM Lou especially liked the Mel Brooks topic in Round 7!
(Did you know Quizmaster Lou was actually in Robin Hood: Men in Tights?)
The ever faithful Poonswagglers performed well but landed just outside the winner's circle,
while fresh team Age & Treachery, last week's winners, hamstrung themselves with a Round 7
Double-or-Nothing fail and ended up in third place! Resident champs, Tequila Mockingbirds
winged their way steadily into second with the IFFY!/Blood, Bath & Beyond Alliance grabbing
an early lead and holding it to the end for first place honors!
As always, at Kilarney's we end with an Irish provreb: "You've got to do your own growing, no
matter how tall your grandfather was!" Have a smooth week, everyone!
