QUIZ RECAP

When Panella, Goddess Of Throwing Pans, hurled her last pan of the Pan-Off, an annual Pan Hurling event, everyone thought she was done, including her. “Well, that’s it for me,” said Pan (to her friends) as she took a load off and plopped down under a Velcro tree, “I’m done here.” From deep in the forest came a reply, gravelly and low: “Oh, are you?” Suddenly, from a beige, butt-shaped cloud, Skilleteus, God Of Skillets, plummeted to Earth, landed at Pan’s feet and before he could even say anything, Pan finished for him: “You challenge me, right?” This happened to Pan all the time: she’d whip her pans across the universe with more accuracy than a laser sight, finish up with an “I’m done!” and then have to deal with the next ego-hurt god-dude who just couldn’t let it go, who just simply had to take her on. “Okay, let’s go,” Pan sighed to Skillet (to his friends). “Wanna go first?” asked Pan. But Skillet didn’t answer; he just chucked a no-stick fryer into the air on a sweeping arc high into the night and then caught it in his teeth upon its return two years later. Pan said: “‘Kay, my go!” She wound back and suddenly put her pan into a hyper sleep chamber and made it freeze there for twenty years. When she finally opened the pod again, an entire two decades later, the pan was older and therefore had traveled more than Skillet’s pan. “That’s cheating!” said Skillet, “and I had to wait twenty years for that! Where are the judges?” And he was right: the judges left after year seven. But here’s the point: Last night’s game of trivia took nowhere near as long. Let’s talk!

The Drink Round was a Love Off: impressions of Courtney Love did abound. The winner was Foxymoron who sang quite off pitch; in other words, it was perfect. Free drinks!

In third place was Four Kids In A Trenchcoat with 44 points. In second place was  Boogie Down with 55 points. And taking the night (and the beer) was Foxymoron with 56 points! (The true winner was Glendale Tap This! with 68,000 points, but when the bartenders win, it’s bad for business so they very nicely relinquish their prize and pay it forward. How—whattayacallit?—nice! Join us every Wednesday at 7:30 at the Glendale Tap for more King Trivia fun!
