QUIZ RECAP

For Quiz Master Lou, a great pub quiz is one that accomplishes three things:

1) It is just easy enough to give people a chance to win, thus encouraging participation.
2) It is just hard enough to keep everyone from winning, thus promoting competition.
3) It has just enough improv cues in it to give Quiz Master Lou a platform to perform!

Thus it was that last night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at the Lion & Crown in Allen
fulfilled all three of these principles and sparked a sublime evening of trivia
and mirth.

First up, the Moby Dick question allowed QML to launch into his Gregory Peck
rendition of Captain Ahab's most serious inquiry to the crew of the Pequod...
"What kind of a whale is Moby Dick?" Next, my version of Somewhere Over the
Refracted Light set Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg spinning in their graves so
fast their combined RPM's would be able to power MGM studios for a year! And
finally, what could be better than a Find-the-Connection/Buffy the Vampire
Slayer Round? The Master: "Two Slayers?!?" Buffy: "No waiting." (Bam!)
While the afterglow of last night's KTPQ dies slowly down, like the embers of a
fire, Quiz Master Lou just wants to say...

Ninja Turtles reasserted their resident champ status with two consecutive
Double-or-Nothing's in the final two rounds finishing 1st with 72 points! The
Smart Asses sat at the bar and came in second while combined elements of Bar
Guy and Stealth Texas picked up third.

Have a great weekend everybody!
