QUIZ RECAP

There are questions in life. Big questions and little questions. In the course of human
events, every person will come up against these questions; And in so doing, they will face
their own, personal moment of truth in which they must make a decision, forever establishing
patterns that may dictate their lives ever after... One such question is, should the Quiz
master allow "beer" as the answer to the tenth question on the Find-the-Connection Round when
the scripted answer was alcohol brands/brewers? Such was the dilemma last night at Kilarney's,
when Quizmaster Lou found himself shouting down an angry crowd when it was discovered that
Bacardi Silver was also a malt beverage!

As always, QM Lou tries to be a wise judge, amending decisions to fit the facts on the ground.
After all, fallible humans make mistakes, and when they do, the correct course of action is to
make corrections. And yet, in so doing, even this can affect those who had cast their votes
differently, and those corrections also mitigate their scores. This is particularly true when
Double-or-Nothing's are at stake. QM Lou's histrionics aside, it is entertainment after all,
I apologize for any misunderstanding I communicated in Round Five last night. Despite this, I
know that many of you supported my decision and had nothing but good will towards your Quiz
Master, as many of you came up to me afterwards, professing such sentiments.

That said, a shout out to the Divorcee's, who dropped by last night. It was good to see you
again, even though things didn't quite go your way. As well, welcome to The Louie's, the
newbie team that snagged third place and whose scores picked up noticeably after their female
companions arrived.

Instead of closing with an Irish proverb this week, QM Lou chose an Irish joke. Unfortunately,
it's rather vulgar, so in the interests of brevity, decency and taste, I shall only relate the
punchline: A man asks a short fellow in a green hat, "But, where's the pot of gold?" To which
the latter replies, "Well boyo, don't you think you're a might too old to be believin' in
Leprechauns, now?" I leave the rest to your imagination.

Have a great week everybody!
