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.
This week's recap is all about Quiz Master Lou. Well, not really. Just his
short comings at last night's pub quiz at the Lion & Crown in Allen! I guess
every Quiz Master has a bad night from time to time. Mine started before I got
to the pub with this sore arm I've been nursing. I feel like that old Borscht
Belt routine...
MAN: "Doc. It hurts when I go like this."
DOC: "Don't go like that."
Anyway, it pains me to say (see what I did there?) I think I've got that rotator
cuff thing. At least, my neighbor diagnosed me as such because it happened to
him and that's how modern medicine works these days. What do doctors know, right?
Reversal of decisions during a quiz is not necessarily a bad thing, particularly
when you're doing the right thing. And I did the right thing by allowing the
answer "Prepositional" to substitute for "Directional/Positional". But the critical
gaffe came at the end of the game when QM Lou accidentally marked the correct
answer of Sweden as wrong... Twice! I've got nothing against Sweden. Sweden is
a great place as far as I'm concerned. It's a mecca for... For... Well, it's
just sort of mecca right now. (apologies to Will Franken) In any case, thanks
to John of Beer Logic whose enlightened self interest made QM Lou do an audit of
Round Seven ballots and change the scores accordingly (for the second time that
night!) for the real rankings. Corrections made. Scores ameliorated. Players
happy. QM Lou stressed.
Well, that's the news. Oh, by the way... My phone battery plunged from 50% to
1% twice yesterday. Anybody know what's going on with that?
