QUIZ RECAP

First quiz of the new year at Killarney's started off perfectly for Quiz Master Lou.
Moderate travel conditions, a manageable number of teams and a great question set made
for a lovely evening.

Newbies BWA (8!+<#3$ with Attitude) adjusted themselves out of the pub after Round Four.
Tequila Mockingbird re-established their "Resident Champion" status with an amazing
come-from-behind Double-or-Nothing in Round Five to put them at the top of the pyramid.
The Deadly Alliance (of Blood, Bath & Beyond/Ship It!) carved themselves out of third
and into a second place win while Seal Team 3 got caught in an avalanche and slid back
for third place honors. The re-branded Incognito (formerly IFFY!) started off strong
in first place with an incredible Double-or-Nothing in Round One, but steadily lost
ground throughout which landed them in fourth, just outside the winner's circle.
Wossa Matta-U, Pickles on a Plate and the Poonswagglers usually perform better than
they did, but didn't. Nevertheless, fun was had by all.

A funtastic question set from our quiz overlords out in Cali-forni-aay completed the
pleasantries. Most folks knew about Life of Pi, but the source of coriander remained
a mystery. After the Tuesday FaceBook question, this quizmaster will definitely have
all his martinis made with vodka. (Don't ask!) The theme round titled Marthupials
are Thuper! emptied a few pouches when only the oldies (yours truly included) knew the
title to Rolf Harris' song, which Quiz Master Lou tried to lead in a rousing sing-along,
but was met with crickets at the refrain, "All together now..."! (Oh, the ignominy
of it all...) Finally, more DoN's were to be had on our Find-the-Connection Round than
all the other combined because... Well, BBQ = Texas, right? Nuff said...

Stay safe and hope to see you next week!
