QUIZ RECAP

The threat (later made good) of stormy weather could not keep the faithful away from
Killarney's last night as a handful of teams descended upon the faux-Irish setting to
test their mettle against the lords of quiz. Overcast, cold and gloomy sums up the
elements but not the mood of our weekly King Trivia Pub Quiz. Winter soldiers all,
welcome!

Our resident champs, Tequila Mockingbird, played high and mighty, leaping into the lead
early in Round Two, cementing it with a solid Double-or-Nothing in Round Three and riding
it all the way to the end, barely pausing to look in the rearview mirror. Deadly
Alliance performed their usual second banana act with a steady placement near the top
for the duration. Those rascally Poonswagglers added some bodies to their posse and
managed to nab third place without a hitch. Wossa Matta-U kept fourth position warm
while Pickles on a Plate and Incognito straggled behind. A rare appearance from the
Dallas Booler's Club promised much but returned little as they petered out early and
left before the final round. A flying platoon comprised of the wait staff, headed by
bearded leader Rick, decided to get in on the action in Round Two, just for kicks. The
score wasn't important, just the team name. The C.D.'s. It has nothing to do with
Compact Discs, I assure you. Nor is Quiz Master Lou going to reveal it in this column
for fear of violating federal obscenity standards!

Much amusement was had in our Wrong Guesses of Desperation Department. Because of the
hooded hawk, Mordecai, from The Royal Tenenbaums, one team guessed the film title as
Mind Your Falcon Business! Theme Round answers that rhyme with "year" but were not
correct included Crocodile Dundeer and Let's Fear Christmas! And finally, those who
couldn't name Daenerys' dragons settled for their own...

Fido

Fifi

Fluffy

Smaug

Pete's

Puff

That's all the quiz news that fits. Have a great week!
