QUIZ RECAP

Last night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at Kilarney's was an interesting mix of survey and
cosmic coinky dink, at least for Quiz Master Lou. Tuesday's FB question kind of got
things rolling with the image of Eisenstein's baby carriage cavorting down the Odessa
steps. (Got things rolling. Get it? Oh, well...) QM Lou got blank stares when he
tried to relate that one. As the late, underrated Richard Dawson used to quip, "Our
survey says..." [Insert sound of buzzer here with a big fat zero.]

The cosmic coinky dink came in when QM Lou decided to substitute the Franz Liszt question
not just because they are both Hungarian, but because asking what the ingredients of
sangria are in a bar is way too easy.

The turn out was huge! Managing 14 teams of 63 people was daunting when one is by their
lonesome. QM Lou barely had time eat his chocolate cake, thoughtfully provided by the
Tequila Mockingbirds on account of it was Hannah's birthday, which got announced and the
entire pub sang along on a schmaltzy rendition of Happy Birthday led by QM Lou's warbles.
Their stars must have aligned because they took first place, too. IPMP (not gonna say
their nasty name, not while I'm eatin' choco cake, no, uh-uh...) got second place while
the unholy alliance of Blood, Bath & Beyond/Ship It! got third.

Mirthful Moments:

Poor Jenny Agutter from Logan's Run was the wrench in the works for the Picture Round,
but also generated the most intriguing guesses...
*The Mummy
*Wicker Man
*Planet of the Apes 3 (which QM Lou pointed out there was no such title, it was called
Escape from the Planet of the Apes!
*Dracula's Wife
*Beyonce' (?)

And the round that angered the crowd award goes to the Find-the-Connection round, in which
no team guessed the answer was 'chairs', but possibly the best wrong answer was sex toys.

That's all the news that fits! Until next week, I remain... You know.
