The Lion & Crown Pub, an English-style pub with a large and varied menu, is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. serving lunch, dinner and daily specials. The pub also offers a wide selection of fine wines and 38 beers on tap. Guests can watch sporting events on one of the many large TV screens or enjoy a nice night out on the patio. Different drink specials are available every day and live music on Friday and Saturday.
Humongous! Gigantic! Colossal! These words describe the crowd at the Lion & Crown in Allen, TX on Thursday night as we commenced our weekly King Trivia Pub Quiz. Thanks in part to The Dirty Thirty! This sizable band of birthday celebrants swooped in and took over not only the pub, but the pub quiz as well! Well… Almost! Resident champs the Ninja Turtles, though smaller in number but hotter with trivia checked this wild bunch into second place! It was like watching Chris Adams and his small group defending the village against Calvera’s bandits. It is in this spirit that this week’s recap will be presented in screenplay format to the tune of The Magnificent Seven!
EXT. SMALL FARMING VILLAGE – DAY
CALVERA and the Dirty Thirty ride into town. CHRIS NINJA TURTLE stands in the street along with VIN NINJA TURTLE directly in their path. The mounted band draws to a halt.
CALVERA
I should have guessed.
CHRIS
Guessing in trivia can be dangerous.
CALVERA
How many of you are there?
CHRIS
Enough.
CALVERA
Hah! You seven won’t give us any trouble.
CHRIS
There won’t be any trouble if you ride on.
CALVERA
Ride on?!? Where will my band drink beer and play King Trivia
Pub Quiz?!? Somehow, I don’t think you’ve solved my problem.
CHRIS
Solving your problems isn’t our line.
VIN
We deal in trivia, friend.
CALVERA
So do I. We’re in the same business, eh?
VIN
Only as competitors.
CALVERA
Generosity! That was my mistake!
CUT TO:
INT. LION & CROWN PUB – NIGHT
CALVERA and the Dirty Thirty sit along the central length of the pub taking up nearly the entire dining room. The Ninja Turtles are tucked away by the fireplace.
QUIZMASTER LOU ascends the stage, grabs the microphone and announces…
QUIZMASTER LOU
Ninja Turtles Double or Nothing in Round One have grabbed the lead with sixteen points! Looks like Dirty Thirty is going to be chasing them all night, tonight!
MUSIC SWELLS as CALVERA slams his beer mug down in frustration and the pub goes wild!
As always, until next week…
