The Tuesday night Shakertin's crew mustered and after the requisite overtures, four teams played the most stable, static and steady pub quiz of any this quiz master has witnessed in his career span.
The Dog Whisperers played really well, but just weren't able to get into the winner's circle with the top dogs. They ended up being the bottom dogs, actually. Perhaps it was what they whispered or perhaps it was just a dog-eat-dog situation. I don't know, but I do know that Quiz Master Lou is having too much fun riffing on this dog motif.
So, out of the gate, One Left in the Chamber, Deadly Alliance and the Rockefellers all tied with a Double-or-Nothing. On Round Two, OLitC took the lead, DA fell into second place with the R's bringing up third and it STAYED THAT WAY ALL EVENING! End of story.
Last night's quiz had a James Bond bias. The Find-The-Connection Round's common factor was Brit singer Adele, naturally the theme song from 2021's Skyfall was in there. It was Round Seven's challenge of naming the last ten Bond film titles that had the "not-so-Bondian-latelies" in a bit of a muddle, but it also provided some mirth. Eon Productions has had a tendency to reuse certain words in the later Bond titles and this particularity actually created some James Bond movies we haven't seen! I give you...
Tomorrow Never Comes
Die Tomorrow
No Other Day to Die
Not Enough Time to Die
Tomorrow's World Dies
License to Die... And my personal favorite,
Her Majesty's Secret Seance (spelling?)
That's it for this week. I'll love you til Tuesday!
