QUIZ RECAP

Old and new friends showed up to contribute to the wackiness that is King Trivia Pub Quiz
last night at the Lion & Crown in Allen. Four, count 'em, four newbie teams jumped in the
pool with the regulars. A shout out to the Dim Bulbs, whom we have not seen in some time.
Welcome to the enthusiastic and opinionated Binge Thinking (nice name, that..) who voiced
loudly (and spoke for most of the rest of the pub) their disapproval for the Round Seven
content. It's not that the L&C crowd has anything against Ariana Grande and Beyonce, it's
just that the momentum was moving forward at light speed then smacked right into a cultural
wall. (Kudos to Walker Texas Rangers, who actually got the most right answers on that round,
though. Surprising and unexpected.

I.P.M.P. has been gaining clout on the local scene, now firmly established with their
team number (good for the nightly two point bonus), but must now take extra ribbing as
their name allows Quiz Master Lou's improv muscles to flex. As I do not indulge in base
scatology, I Picked My Part, I Pumped My Papa, I Parted My Pumpkin and all the rest are
coming to the fore. Great stuff!

Resident champs, the Ninja Turtles are back in form, taking first place honors, while
Stealth Texas snuck second and Walker Texas Rangers justified a sound third place arrest.
Always like to see my pals, IFFY!, the Rockafellers, the Smart Asses and the Hooligans.
(Sounds like a place where the high falutin' rub elbows with the profane, doesn't it?)

And finally, another well deserved kudo (kudos can be singular, right?) to our quiz writing
team, who keep us guessing with their "Nuke the Whales" logic approach to the question
sets, which always prove to be inventive, topical and surprising. That's all the news that
fits. Have a great weekend everybody!
