QUIZ RECAP

A very sedate, post Thanksgiving pub quiz at the Lion & Crown in Allen this Thursday evening, with only five regular teams returning.  The Pilarinski’s came back and showed their usual fine mettle, as well as IFFY!, Beer Logic, Stealth Texas and resident champions, The Ninja Turtles.

I say resident “champs” with some chagrin because the past few games, the Turtles have failed their normal, personal best by not taking first place and in some instances, not placing at all!  But tonight, they got back into their groove again by not only grabbing first place but outdistancing second place by a stunning seventeen points!  Of course, I noticed they had to bring in the elder clan members to do it, but that’s okay.  After all, wisdom from your venerable elders should be valued and appreciated with honor.  The more, the merrier, I say.  (And what Quiz Master Lou says, is law!  Uh, the rules say so…)

Yes, I could say that the Ninja Turtles sliced up the clan war competition in true ninjitsu style with their metaphorical ninjato’s slicing, kusarigamas dicing and shurikens whirling…  Quiz Master Lou could say that…  But that would be ridiculously over the top hyperbole, taking satirical advantage of the Turtle’s choice of monikers…  So I won’t.  Just disregard this paragraph.

Hats off to the quiz writers back at home base as well.  The questions were a good cross section of sports, current events, history, geography and science.  Well done!  Until next week, I remain, loyally yours…
