QUIZ RECAP

The intimate 'Hugh Hefner's fourth living room'-esque setting of Rock 'n Reilly's provided the perfect backdrop for this week's King Trivia. 

Nary a table was left unchecked, as we had quite the packed house, and that unchecking goes doubly so for game champions, Bang Bang Scissor Gang, who snagged an early lead and viciously held onto it like so many kittens discovering their first fish. Teams Hehe and Mandog remained close behind for several rounds, but the Guess Who (featuring a tragic Matt Damon backstory) and Find the Connection rounds edged 329656 (good little listeners) and Whiskey Business ahead of Dead Team's Curve, sending our other competitors plummeting into the abyss beneath the rainbow road. 

I'm a Stupid Baby did not go home with a qualifying prize, but did school our other teams in horror movie knowledge for this week's drinking round, challenging players to identify the famous scary movie by its poster tagline. (Because January is still Halloween season, and Halloween doesn't care what you think about that.) 

Shout out to other losing team, Spicy Gummy Bears; not only for being a delicious and underrated movie time snack but also for providing our host with a punching bag for the duration of the game. We love us some banter.

Until next time, remember: pop pop, fizz fizz. - jj.
