Kilarney's welcomes back the long lost PHD's and the return of Wassamata-U. With this
roster of learned minds, it was a good thing the questions were challenging. Nevertheless,
it was a hard fought and exciting run to the finish line. Also weighing in were the
Tequila Mockingbirds, the IFFY!/Blood, Bath & Beyond alliance as well as the resident
staff team, the Barflies. And a strong welcome to newbies, Seal Team 3. (They do half
the work of the other guys... In a trivia sense, that is.) Last night's question set
was pretty good, too! More trivia and less pop than usual.
Highlights:
It's amazing how many people think Alexander Hamilton looks like Thomas Jefferson. And
it's interesting that he made it onto a ten dollar bill because he shot Perry Mason. I
mean Raymond Burr. Er, Aaron Burr. Six degrees of something there, or too much to drink
on that one...
Under the category, Floor Polish and Dessert Topping: Born on the Fourth of July is an
Oliver Stone film and a Bruce Springsteen song. Oh wait, no it isn't! It's Born in the
USA. "Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it..." By the way, Douglas Rain died.
Kudos on the Guess Who? Round. Really threw a lot of folks, it did. Hint: When you hear
the Quiz Master say god in the clue, that's the time to start thinking mythology!
Excellent Round Five as well. The guesses for hearing the term "hand game" ranged from
Game Boy to Wii. It was a nightmare for some, a dream to others...
All in all, one of the best quiz's to come down the pike in a while. Keep those cards and
letters coming! Until next time, this is Quiz Master Lou signing off!
