SLAM! BANG! POW! No, this isn't an episode of 1966's Batman. It's the mental onomatopeia that went off at Shakertin's when the weekly King Trivia quiz teams clashed last night! Five teams Doubled down in the first round with four successes!
After the four way tie in round one, Pickles on a Plate took the lead and never let it go, finishing first with a twelve point lead! Then... Drama! Deadly Alliance tied for second with the Dog Whisperers and the tie breaker created even more drama. At first, DW was awarded the coveted second place, but after a dispute and a quick internet search, the correct answer was discovered and the prize flipped over to DA! BAM! POW! OUCH!
The Nitty Knockers (playing as Ship It! by special permission) missed the winner's circle by two points. Jarvis marvelously reappeared after a year's absence and mysteriously disappeared after round two. And, after a botched DoN in round one, One Left in the Chamber became One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by pacing the pack and keeping the entire bar amused with ebullient charm.
Style points were awarded for misidentifying the extraterrestrial Paul (from the same named film) as Erik, Dave and "The Resident Alien".
