QUIZ RECAP

When Doganeus, God Of Dogs, brought his sled of twelve huskies to a halt at the Gate Of Hollowswood, he and his dogs were ready for a nap. But a squeaky voice (belonging to a guy named Squeaky [totally true]) from a high-perched public address system rang forth with: “Password please?” Dog (to his friends) answered: “Are you asking me to give a password to get in, or do you yourself need a password?” “Why would I need a password?” asked Squeak (to his friends), “I work here.” “Okay,” said Dog, “I just didn’t understand what we were talking about. Can we start again?” “How far do you wanna go back? Do you wanna roll up with your huskies again or—?” “No, just the part where you ask me for a password.” “Okay,” said Squeak and started again. “Password please?” and Dog said: “Do mean the game Password? Where I say a word and you try to figure out the secret word I’m trying to get you to say?” Squeak’s voice, an already thin and reedy quack, now went impossibly higher as his frustration got the best of him. “Look, is this your first time at the gate?” and Dog thought Squeak was playing Password with that response and said: “Well, that’s more than one word, but I’ll say the word is “Question.” Squeak and Dog went on like the this for the next hundred years before Squeak finally said: “Oh, all right, go on in” and opened the Gate for him and his twelve huskies who immediately mushed into the center quad and relieved themselves right by the fountain. Here’s the point: Trivia night at the Glendale Tap last night was exactly like this.  Let’s talk:

Tonight’s Drinking Round was an Irish Off: the best Irish accent would take win—take a guess—free drinks. The winner was When In Ramen for a rendition of Danny Boy that filled the room with shame and wonder. Free drinks!

In first place was Boogie Down with 68 points. In second was Rob’s Angels with 61 points. And in a three-way tie breaker for third was When In Ramen with 59 points. Blarney! Come back next week for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!
