"Well, when the questions are in your wheelhouse..." Seemed to be the answer
last night at Killarney's when our waitstaff team, The Barflies stepped up to
the plate and hit home run after home run. The Barflies dominated from Round
One with a Double-or-Nothing and stayed in the lead all the way to the finish,
ending with an eleven point lead over every other team in the pub!
Of course, as employees, they are not allowed to keep the prizes awarded, so
that means Wossamatta-U's second place winning got the first place prize while
third place rankers the Dallas Booler's Club received a second place prize.
And IFFY!? As a fourth place non winner, they got a prize, too! That's called
"trickle down" win-onomics.
Seems like everyone was a winner last noght though, judging by the high spirits and
cheerful camaraderie. Even our last place team, the Poonswagglers, demonstrated
some esprit de corps with a raspberries cheer. Some of last night's questions
opened the way for some ribald humor. Plato's Ship of Fools got renamed to a
cruder euphemism involving male genitalia. And while one team knew about Scream
Queens' as the Chanels, more than one team decided that their monikers
are closer to that which we call a female dog or a drug addict. Style points to
the team that came up with Aquari-Yum as the alternate flavor for Ben & Jerry's
Phish Food ice cream! And while we're at it, let's mention newbie team the
Periodic Table Dancers for a great creative label.
Until next week, I remain... Quiz Master Lou!
