Action at Killarney's was fairly subdued last night as almost all teams present
were seasoned vets of the quiz game. At Round Four, a group came in and wanted
to play, knowing they probably wouldn't win, but wanted to get in on the fun
anyway. And That's okay! Welcome to Boost, who, judging by their score, might
just have placed if they'd gotten in at the beginning.
Team Barflies, our dutiful wait staff, managed to get in some good licks as well.
This spurred Quiz Master Lou to tell one of the newer waiters about the time
Niko and the Barflies actually placed, got their picture on the website, but
had to give their prize away! Fun stuff!
Praise worthy wrong guesses come at the expense of those who don't know the band
Green Day. Not knowing the drummer's name spawned some whimsical responses such
as Bongo Madrid and Green Ringo.
A great Round Six on Foreign movies and their American Remakes as well the Round
Seven "C for Science", wherein participants had to come up with elements on the
Periodic Table that began with the letter 'C'. Again, some pretty creative
choices made it hard for Quiz Master Lou to decide whether it was a misspelling
or a scientific discovery!
In any case, Tequila Mockingbird got some cred back proving yet again they are
the resident champs (even without Alex!) The holy alliance of Blood, Bath &
Beyond/Ship It! placed second while the Poonswagglers, who have been placing in
the top three regularly lately, came in third. Well done, all!
QM Lou, signing off...
