QUIZ RECAP

Big Pic Movie Directors. Units of measurement. A Classic Movie Star Guess
Who and Classical Art. We had it all at the Lion & Crown in Allen last night!
It was a sparse showing with only eight teams playing, and all of them vets,
but that just made the action smoother.

Some merriment highlights: Quito is the capital of a South American country,
but Kito is our capitol bartender here at the L&C. Zulu knocked out Swahili
in the first round sounds like an African middleweight bout, but that's what
prevented a lot of Double-or-Nothing's across the board. Why anyone would
guess that Clint Eastwood directed Black Panther is a mystery, but one wonders
how different such a venture would have been. (And while we're on the subject,
the Wachowski Siblings!?! Good one, King Trivia! Well played!) Quiz Master
Lou had to reverse himself after announcing the theme round entitled "Measure
for Measure" wasn't about Shakespeare, then substituting the Tempest question!
Quiz Master Lou nearly had a meltdown when one last team couldn't get the two
point clue from the Guess Who Round. I mean, Dorothy... Wizard of Oz... J.G.?!?
Come on, people!

The Ninja Turtles, using their new born infant as their official mascot, defeated
the rest for a first place win. Street Smarts, who have been steadily building up
their trivia skills got a well deserved second place prize while Stealth Texas,
who lost his teammates to alcoholic attrition, still managed a solo win for
third place. (And then, he kicked Quiz Master Lou's keister in a dart game
afterwards! Total winner, he!)

As always, I remain, faithfully... Yours.
