QUIZ RECAP

The pub was sparsely populated last night as King Trivia Pub Quiz rolled out at
the Lion & Crown in Allen last night. It's that weird time at summer's end as
back-to-schoolness overcomes coolness, mostly because the thermometer is still
hitting the high nineties and lower one hundred's. The sun hits your eye and
makes you wish that you'd die, that's August!

Welcome to newbie team, Blinker Fluid, a name I've come to know since there's
been many a time I've been driving behind someone who's car has run out of it!
Ninja Turtles dominated a second week in a row with a sixty-five point win.
They did get challenged though, as the Ship It!/Blood, Bath & Beyond alliance
pulled a clever Double-or-Nothing in Round Seven and bumped right up against
NT's with a sixty-four point score for second place! Beer Logic came in third
at sixty. Stealth Texas and Street Smarts (severely undermanned) brought up the
rear with fifty-nine and fifty-four respectively.

The Fonz was the featured character of that 70's show Happy Days as one wag
observed. New Asgard was widely recognized as modern Dystopia and only one
team knew Mary, Queen of Scots' portrait. (And one of those who didn't was
from Scotland! Och!) Quiz Master Lou punned that Napoleon lost a famous
Belgian Waffle and at album twenty-six, Cher really needs to hang it up,
don't you think? Every team save one successfully Double-or-Nothing'd on the
Round Six Handout round, Don't You Forget About Me, matching 80's song titles
to their artists, a most fun round and progenitor of a mad rush to the juke box!
And as for the dubious title of Yee Haw! for Round Seven... Well, if the cowboy
boot fits I always say.

Have a great weekend!
