"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal."
~ Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
This was a question on the King Trivia Pub Quiz last night at Killarney's. Quiz
Master Lou, daring to be different, thought it appropriate to open this week's
column with the complete opening statement. It is a profound thought with which
to have a discussion, for it not only puts us where we were, but where we are and
where we are going. Have some coffee and a danish/bagel and discuss!
Speaking of liberty, kudos to Seal Team 3 for their long awaited and well deserved
first place win! Yay! Well done! Irish Whiskey-pedia slid into second while
Tequila Mockingbird stole third from Pickles on a Plate. Oh, the ignominy! A
big welcome to newbies It's Always Sunny in Fairview, who gave their all with
the best of us. We hope to see them back next week.
In the worst answers but the best failures department, those who couldn't identify
Alfie Allen may have recognized him from Game of Thrones and decided he was the
Gilbert Gottfried of the medieval fantasy set. Likewise Jessie J who got tagged
as Minnie Mouse. (Hey, she could have got worse!) And of course, the naming of
Elements on the Periodic Table with a particular set of values is always fun and
fascinating. While Tacos, Wine and Dr. Pepper didn't score points, they certainly
scored laughs.
That's the news!
Stay amused!
Don't you go and get abused!
Quiz Master Lou, signing off...
