QUIZ RECAP

As the infamous cult actor Greg Travis once said in his inimitable fashion
in the movie Starship Troopers, "It's an ugly planet! It's a bug planet!",
so too, does Quiz Master Lou proclaim, "It's a crowded pub! It's a Quiz pub!"
QM Lou hit a new benchmark by hosting 21 teams/76 players at the Lion & Crown
in Allen last night. A new record by his standards, though I'm sure kid's
stuff to some of our more seasoned QM's in Los Angeles. But man, the pub
was packed!
As predicted, Binge Thinking accelerated their game and took home first place
while it's-been-awhile team Ship It! snagged second. Standby faves Stealth
Texas sneaked third.
The Double-or-Nothing's came in rushes during the Round Seven, Round Six and
of course, the Picture Round, with most of the fails accredited to Agatha Christie.
Best wrong guesses were Madame Curie, Margaret Meade, Florence Nightingale,
Elanor Roosevelt, Jane Austen and Helen Keller. (I know, right?) But the funniest
and most improbable guess was the team who mistook Sidney Poitier for George
Bernard Shaw. (Not sure if that was intentional or not...)
Hats off once again to our Quiz writers in Californ-i-ay who did another
bang up job. That's all the news that's fit. No, really. Have a great
weekend everybody!
