QUIZ RECAP

Quite the quiz was had at Killarney's last night with five teams competing. A big Texas
style "welcome back" to One Left in the Chamber, who hasn't graced the grand hall of
Killarney's in some time. Whenever they play, the competition always amps up a notch!

The contest itself was the star with Deadly Alliance (aka Blood, Bath & Beyond) capturing
the lead out of the gate, falling back in Rounds four and five, then getting it back in
the last two rounds for a total victory! It was the Hand-Out Round's soccer centric
theme that won the day for them with a savage Double-or-Nothing that cinched the saddle
to that horse. Tequila Mockingbird also spring boarded by doubling in that round as well,
putting them into second place, a smooth come-from-behind victory after a faltering in
Round One from a bad DoN. Pickles on a Plate started off the evening well, graduating
from second, to first, then getting sidled into third, also due to the soccer round.
Wow. The quiz was like watching a FIFA World Cup match! Sorta... Incognito remained
mostly anonymous in fifth place but enjoyed playing nonetheless.

The World of EPCOT Picture Round managed to perplex most of the people most of the time.
Funny how they made Germany look a lot like Italy. On the other hand, that's happened
before... A lot of fun was had with a question from the Theme Round asking to identify
an obscure DC Comics super hero duo with the chief clue being that their name was
alliterative and weather related. The brainy types who weren't comic collectors were
able to come up with some variation of Tornado Twins that passed muster, but style points
went out to the team that put down Thunder Truckers! Which caused Quiz Master Lou
to ponder the existence of a 70's exploitation movie with the same title full of R-Rated
sex and violence... These things have been known to happen, after all.

That's all I got. Love in the Time of Coronavirus. Stay clean and healthy!
