QUIZ RECAP

There was a weird vibe going on at the Lion & Crown this Thursday.  IFFY! Was seated around the fireplace where the Ninja Turtles usually held court.  The Turtles were sitting at the table where Pickles on a Plate usually sat and Pickles got bumped over…  You get the picture.  No team sat where they normally sat.  Even Stealth Texas couldn’t get a seat at the bar and found himself uprooted to a high table! 

We’ve all read about messing with your opponent’s head to gain an advantage and I think IFFY! may have started a chain reaction.  Gamesmen call it ‘Psych’.  “There are stranger things in heaven and on earth than are dream’t of in your philosophy, Horatio…”  So said Hamlet when his pal wondered if Hamlet really had seen a ghost!  But the supernormal atmospheres that permeate the pub on King Trivia Pub Quiz night are palpable and perceptible.  And results don’t lie! 

It can be argued that the absence of “Home Field advantage” had an effect on the scores, but for my money, I’m a believer!  Ninja Turtles, who usually win, didn’t even place this week!  And when six of nine teams Doubles or Nothing in one round, you know something is going on in the zeitgeist!
