QUIZ RECAP

"My name is Quiz Master Lou. You answered my question. Prepare to quiz!"
This was inspired of course, by one of the questions in last night's KTPQ at
Killarney's. I was riffing on the Princess Bride, which was the answer to one of
the Round Five Find-the-Connection queries. It was an all around, great quiz
with a good balance of pop culture and general knowledge material.

The place was packed (I'm told by Raytheon, holding their year end holiday
feast). But there were enough trivia teams to compensate with one newbie and
a rookie team to boot. Russell G.W. held their own with the Junior League
Wonder Women and the rest of the vets. Our old friends, the Deadly Alliance
of Ship It!/Blood, Bath & Beyond, held sway from round one till the very end
until, in a true dramatic climax, Seal Team 3 jumped the queue for a win by a
one point margin! This, coming off of a victory dance from last week to boot!
Seal Team 3... Enjoy. This is your championship season!

Tequila Mockingbird squeezed into a third place win while Wossa Matta-U sallied
fourth. Poonswagglers, Pickles and Iffy!... I mention you honorably.

From our mirth department come these moments born of a question set that was
written not too wisely, but too well... The cooking technique called Poaching
was worded in such a way that Sous-vide also fit the description and so was
allowed by this Quiz Master. Couple that with this... "When leading but not
riding a horse, what headgear would you use?" Confusion arose from whether the
headgear was meant for the horse or the human. Given that, under the circumstances,
both are interchangeable, it was an equine enigma equally equitable with an
equestrian equation.

Until next week, I remain...
