QUIZ RECAP

"What's shakin' at Shakertin's?", one might ask.  "King Trivia Pub Quiz!", of course one might answer.  Based on the questions, one could get all shook up (ala Elvis) or shaken down (depending on one's gambling propensity.)  One could also wish that Quiz Master Lou would stop using that tired old alliterative, but one could just as well wish that Shakertin's was named something else!  Which is just as helpful as James Bond telling Inspector Mathias in Casino Royale (1967), "Excuse me, but it bothers me that you're a French Polcie Inspector but you've got a Scots accent."  To which Mathias answered, "Aye.  It bothers me, too..."  

Before Teams was a Microsoft product, it's what we call our lovable groups of pub quiz players.  (Let's just hope MS doesn't start charging us a subscriber fee for using the word!)  We had five regs and one newbie team last night.  A big welcome to We'll Figure it Out, who registered their team and got the two-point bonus.  The Dog Whisperers came back and now probably hate Quiz Master Lou for advising caution when deciding to Double-or-Nothing on Round Three.  Turns out they did get all six questions right, however, in retrospect, that extra six points would've only tied them for fourth place.  Here for the Beer had to take third place after running neck-a-neck with Pickles on a Plate, who took second.  Deadly Alliance seems to be on the Win Wagon, capturing first place for the third time in a row!  

Last night's Picture Round of Two All Beef Patties, wherein identifying the (H)ambuger was the toughest challenge.  No one could identify comedian Gregg Turkington's disgusting, misanthropic stand up persona of Neil Hamburger, although it might have warmed what passes for his heart to know he got guesses such as Pedo Burger and Greasy Burger.  

That's all for QML this week.  See you next Tuesday!
