QUIZ RECAP

Whoa! The newbies outnumbered the regulars last night at Lion & Crown, Allen!
Out of the sixteen (count 'em) teams that played, only seven were among our
usual suspects list. Twelve new teams put themselves on the roster and seven
of those registered! Whoa! What was going on? (Some say it was a teacher's
conference. If it was, that answers a lot of questions about today's educational
system... Moving on.)

Stealth Texas managed to get to the top of the pyramid early and stayed there all
night ending up as a 57 point winner. Street Smarts fought their way to second
in round six while the Bastard Barristers (welcome back, gentlemen) were judged
into third.

On the coinky-dink side of things, team Drunk Teachers mentioned they play KTPQ
out in San Diego, CA. They also mentioned something about playing here in Texas
to the effect of, "Wow. I don't know what it is about Texas, but, wow... Maybe
it's like in the air or something?" Team EXTRA! from Idaho definitely had the
most esprit d corps with the loudest yells whenever scores were announced. The
T-Waffles, a table of four ladies, faired the best of the newbies by commanding
the fourth position just outside the winner's circle. Congratulations!

Of the best style point (thank you Clive Anderson) winners, the cream of the crop
appears as follows:
*Which Meet-the-Press host co-moderated the Democratic Debate? Joe Nobody.
*Round Five's Find-the-Connection connection was thought to be 'You can use them
all in bed' by one wag.
*The Tumblr acronym GPOY was thought by one team to be Go (euphemism for urinate)
on Yourself. (Shame!)
*And the best guess for naming a Noble Gas was Queen Elizabeth's Methane.

That's all the news that fits! Have a great weekend! Quiz Master Lou, out!
