QUIZ RECAP

When Deranemus, God Of Concrete, chased those meddling neighborhood boys off his freshly-poured sidewalk for the third time that afternoon, he made a vow: “The next time they try it, I’m sending the wet concrete at their feet high into the air and then viciously down upon them like a crashing wave of heavy grey slabs.” The “it” here was a predilection the lads had for carving initials and other choice words into Der’s (that’s what friends called him) pavement before it was dry. One time, not only were their initials all over the place (easy to prove their guilt in court), but they had several misspelled words as well. In “Mr. Deranemus is a steenky butt,” the blatant error in “stinky” was plain as day. “Unacceptable!” he roared to the heavens and awaited the boys’ predictable return after paving over their markings. Then he waited. And waited. Until finally, they came back: all three scamps with twigs for writing implements and, oddly, boogie boards. They crouched down to leave their marks and, as promised, Deranemus (Der to his friends) summoned the wet concrete high into the air above the amazed boys. But before he could bring it down upon them like planned, they jumped atop their boogie boards and rode that wave of liquid concrete down Der’s street and away to safety, hooting and hollering all the way. One of them yelled back at Der: “We heard you yell your plan to the heavens. That’s how we knew to bring boogie boards!” Here’s the point: No such event took place tonight at King Trivia’s Glendale Tap Night tonight. Let’s talk:

The Drinking Round was a Swift Off. The best Taylor Swift rendition would win free drinks. The 25,000-person White Lotus took the main prize, even when the contestant forgot the words and his team helped him out!

In third place tonight was White Lotus with 44 points. In second was Jazz Cats with 51 points. And blowing the damn doors down by doubling or nothing-ing for 20 points in round was 7 My Hungry Guys. Their total score was 75 points!

Come back next Wednesday and every Wednesday for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap at 7:30!
