QUIZ RECAP

There was some apoplexy pointed particularly at Quiz Master Lou's proper, if
priggish, pronouncement that Firestick would not be an allowable substitute
for Fire TV on the grounds that the accepted vernacular was not the actual
name of the product. That was not the only upset at Killarney's last night.
IFFY! catapulted into the lead in Round Five with a stunning Double-or-Nothing
causing QM Lou to lose track of the rankings and further incurring the wrath
of the crowd! Folks, it just wasn't my night...

Kudos to our wait staff's own Barflies team, who placed all the way to Round
Four. All the teams did well in fact, with the average score of the night
being 56.125! Kudos also, to our quiz writing overlords, who cobbled some
very interesting and deceptive question sets together. Find-the-Connection
was fabulously frustrating! In the end, IFFY! got to the top of the pyramid
while One Left in the Chamber took second and Not Suitable for Work took third.

Quiz Master Lou would like to end on a somber note by suggesting that we all take
a read on Rudyard Kipling's poem, The Gods of the Copybook Headings. It's a
short read. A mere 512 words. I leave you here with the last stanza to whet
your appetite...

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Until we meet again, friends.
