The Lion & Crown Pub, an English-style pub with a large and varied menu, is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. serving lunch, dinner and daily specials. The pub also offers a wide selection of fine wines and 38 beers on tap. Guests can watch sporting events on one of the many large TV screens or enjoy a nice night out on the patio. Different drink specials are available every day and live music on Friday and Saturday.
As July heats you up, the Lion & Crown cools you down as patrons came to their
favorite pub last night to imbibe a tasty adult beverage and exercise their brains
in yet another Thursday evening's King Trivia Pub Quiz!
In honor of the late Arte Johnson, Quiz Master Lou would like to opine that last
night's question set was "Verrrry interesting!" If there was a zeitgeist at work
it could only be described as, "that thing you used to know so well, but haven't
thought of in a long time and now you can't remember it!" There may be a more
economical way of expressing that thought, but Quiz Master Lou can't think of it.
Such an example would be the Visual Round. Garfield the comic strip. Sure. We
all know who Odie is and maybe Jon. But Lyman?!? I mean, how long has it been
since you were a regular reader? Then there was matching the landmark to its
architectural style. If you weren't an architecture student, you were a guesser!
And finally, there was my fave, the round seven Music Men list. Films about real
life musicians that got best actor nominations?!? Wow. (To his credit, Quiz
Master Lou correctly guessed Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney when he did
his test run!) Great stuff, quiz writers...
The undermanned Street Smarts, despite low turnout, managed a third place win
while the triple alliance of IFFY!/Blood, Bath & Beyond/Ship It! took second.
Stealth Texas, teaming with the Bar Guy, combining themselves into the Stealth
Guy, won first place honors handily, leaping way out in front with an eleven
point cushion.
That's the way it is, quiz fans! Have a great weekend! And if that's too much
pressure, aim for mediocre. You won't be disappointed.
