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.
Thursday was a day and night of some strange energy. It began with awakening from
a troubled, unremembered dream. At work, callers from a city two thousand miles
away sounded frustrated and confused. A woman is sent home early from her job
because her boss' database got hacked. When she arrives home, the smoke alarms
in her house are blaring for no apparent reason. And a housewife logs onto her
usual online shopping page to discover it is now in Russian! Coincidence? No, my
friends. It is zeitgeist... Look it up if you don't know it, you trivia geeks.
After all, this is... King Trivia Pub Quiz!
Newbie team Blinker Fluid returned for their second match and brought some pals
along. It worked, because they catapulted into first place on the last round
with an incredible Double-or-Nothing, correctly naming exactly the ten most expensive
U.S. cities to live in. Wow! Quiz Master Lou does not have an emoji for that.
Street Smarts got second while Beer Logic and Pickles on a Plate duked it out for
third. The latter won the tie breaker.
Our quiz writers came up with a pretty imaginative and silly Picture Round for R2.
Identify the Fairy! Quiz Master Lou had no idea of the level of magical fairies
in the modern pop culture. The most wrong guesses were attributed to the Tooth
Fairy, conspicuously absent from this list, and Morgan Le Fey. (Morgan Le Fey
was not a fairy BTW, she was Merlin's assistant who got ahead of herself. Just
sayin...) The Absinthe Fairy from Moulin Rouge got the most imaginative wrong
guesses with style points going to Titania, the Jolly Green Fairy, Selena and
Slut Factory. (Hey, when in doubt, toss it out!)
Have a great weekend everyone!
