QUIZ RECAP

The tribes turned out in force last night at the Lion & Crown in Allen, despite the
intermittent rain. All veteran teams, including the Alcoballics from Kilarney's
turf. (What they missed on Tuesday, they came to grab on Thursday!) One newbie team
tossed their hat in the ring and dubbed themselves Doctor Feltersnatch, but bowed out
gracefully after getting run into the rail on the third lap.

A pretty good quiz was had, and tough, too. And inventive. The wedding cake toppers
idea was pretty clever and kept 'em guessing. Likewise, the Find-the-Connection Round,
with it's whale motif. Kinda reminded me of the old 70's icon, "Keep 'em guessing with
your 'Nuke the Whales' bumper sticker. Ah, yes... In those days, the independents had
their own advocacy groups.

Style Points for Wrong Answers Awards: Cake Topper #5 was not Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
Aretha Franklin is not Dolly Parton, but a good early guess. And when Quiz Master Lou
asked "What island territory is mostly comprised of Inuits and Danish?", he had to make
the distinction that we were talking about the people, not the pastry.

Kudos to first place winners the Ninja Turtles, who returned in strength, claimed their
stake on the fire place pit and regained (at least temporarily) their resident champ
status. Pickles on a Plate snacked on second while IFFY! stole third a second time in
one week!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
