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.
Quiz Master Lou ponders about the weather as many of us Texans do. My recollection
of last year's August was much hotter than this year, yet overall I'd say that in
general, the seasons seem to be shifting. Summer feels like it's stretching into
September, maybe even October. Is it starting later as well? Or, is it just getting
warmer all over as some climate alarmists claim? Or, is it because man, in his never
ending mania to cover everything in concrete (which holds in heat, by the way...) and
to congregate in mass numbers, thus generating massive build ups of biological BTU's
(we're all human batteries, ala Matrix, right?) which is driving the thermometer up?
That being said, there wasn't a single weather question on last night's King Trivia
Pub Quiz, but there was a kick a$$ "Scientist" match up on the Round Six Hand Out
set! In fact, another awesome question set from our quiz overlords in Karloffornia
(apologies to the late, great Forrest Ackerman for that one!). Our finest was a
most brilliant Find-the-Connection Round. Round five is a KTPQ fan favorite for its
combination of individual answer seeking and discovering the general motif. It can
also be built badly too, if the theme is too far out of reach. Last night's was
just sublime though. It was a concept, plain and simple. Things that can be opened.
From bags to minds. It was tough, yet appropriate. Brilliant!
History was made as one of our oldest teams suddenly found themselves in their very
own wheelhouse. Rockerfeller captured the lead early in Round Three and hung onto it
until the end, winding up with a 63 point first place win! Well done, Rockerfellers!
Ninja Turtles got pushed to second and Street Smarts nailed third. Three newbie
teams played as well, with Velvet Hammer getting a respectable fourth place position
and Strawberry Hill Forever (Let me take you down to) landing in eighth while Retail Impossible bailed early but still had a great moniker!
QM Lou wants everyone to enjoy their Labor Day weekend and to remember this important
message...
