QUIZ RECAP

The fun never stops at the Lion & Crown in Watter's Creek as we embarked on our
regular Thursday night King Trivia Pub Quiz! Last night in particular marked the
triumphant return of the Ninja Turtles, fresh from their wedding staged on the
tropical isle of Barbados. If you'll recall last year, Kyle proposed to Evelyn
right smack dab in the middle of the Round Four Guess Who Round, with a little
help from Quiz Master Lou, of course. Well, they culminated that act with their
Magnum Opus, marriage in the tropics! Congratulations! Welcome home! And oh,
look... You won first place! Again.

The most deleterious alliance of Ship It!/Blood, Bath & Beyond catapulted into
a second place win when they successfully Double-or-Nothing'd in Round Seven,
leap frogging over the Street Smarts, who had to settle for third. And a big
Lion & Crown welcome to the trio of newbies who styled themselves as the One
Armed Bandits. These three lads brought the greatest enthusiasm, if not the
trivial knowledge, to the game. They Doubled not too wisely, but too well.
And to boot, they pulled a stunt on ole QM Lou, substituting the Ninja Turtle's
name on the top of their quiz page (scratched through next to their own) making
this Quiz Master do a double take! I appreciate that. We welcome the return
of the One Armed Bandits.

As for the quiz itself, kudos to our quiz writing overlords, who came up with
some intriguing trivia. The Round Three Theme Round of 'They Call Me Mellow
Yellow' gave Quiz Master Lou a chance to warble a line from the Donovan song
book, and to also mash-up a famous Sidney Poitier line from 'In the Heat of the
Night'. (Check it out. That line became the title of the sequel.) QM Lou's
favorite round was the Round Six Hand-Out Round, The Roaring Twenties. We luvs
us our history stuff. Of course, throwing Star Trek and Terminator dates into
the mix is like adding King Lear to the Shakespeare's Histories List, but what
the heck?

Have a great weekend everybody!
