QUIZ RECAP

Killarney's. On a Tuesday night. I was there. And so were you! At least, we
had ten teams competing in our usual King Trivia Pub Quiz. We did. And so did
we! Eight regulars and two newbies rounded out a wonderful evening of mirth and
questions as we dive headlong into our month long swim through August heat. Yet, the
cool, refreshing adult beverages, coupled with the industrial AC make it not only
tolerable, but enjoyable.

Those wild, rebellious Irish Whiskey-pedians managed a successful delve into their
alcohol soaked tomes of knowledge and came up a well deserved winner by just
edging out the resident champs, Tequila Mockingbird, by one point! Third place
honors was a draw between the deadly alliance of Blood, Bath & Beyond/Ship It!
and the equally lethal Seal Team 3, with the latter winning the tie-breaker
question.

Perhaps one the weirdest rounds we've seen in some time was the Round #2 Picture
Round, which asked us to identify the people and things that serve as pencil
toppers. Because erasers just aren't good enough anymore, and some enterprising
devil figured out a way to appeal to the need for useless adornments that prevent
one from removing graphite mistakes from their paper... "Let's see, I have to
waste extra time pulling the topper off my pencil to erase this mark here, rub,
rub, rub... Brush, brush... Put the topper back on, oops! It cracked. Now it
won't stay on my pencil! Got to get a new pencil topper!" See how that works,
folks? Nevertheless, the banality of some of the names for these things was
matched only by the chance to misidentify. (Maybe that's why they chose it?)
After the post-carbohydrate image of C3PO, the topper of King Henry VIII got the
most wrong guesses. I present, da Vinci, Columbus, Galileo, Poseidon (although
I don't think he ever wore a flat cap. Wool and sea water, you know...) and
Quiz Master Lou's favorite - Cap'n Trout!

Killarney's. On a Tuesday night. That is all...
