QUIZ RECAP

It was maximum overdrive at the Lion & Crown on Thursday night with six, count ‘em, six new teams wanting to get in on the action.  However, as the evening drew on and the questions started getting tough, the not-so-tough got going…  Out the door!  Just like at SEAL training camp, at each phase (or round if you will), another King Trivia Pub Quizzer candidate dropped out.  Only the tough, the determined and the perseverant went the distance.  Interestingly enough, of the six newbies, the team calling themselves S&M survived the ordeal.  It kind of reminds me of the joke about the farm girl who wrote home to her parents about what a breeze Marine Corps boot camp was! 

Even so, the competition was hot and heavy with a second place tie breaker between Ninja Turtles and IFFY!  The irregular duo, Bumble Bees took first place honors.  Two people beating two teams of eight people each is especially commendable, but honor was earned and respect given when it turned out one of the Bumble Bees was a former Jeopardy! contestant!  Couple of hundred pound brains there, I tell you! 

The theme round on South America seemed to be the toughest for last night’s crowd.  Some very clever questions referencing our southern continental neighbor were set down to stump our challengers.  Nice going, KT Quizzers!  That’s all the news that fits.  Until next week, I remain….
