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.
Action at the Lion & Crown in Allen was seen last night when the magnificent
seven rode in to play our Thursday night session of King Trivia Pub Quiz! The
aforementioned M7 were the teams, of course. The Smart Asses dominated the room
with their usual boisterous humor and good cheer, but didn't do so good in the
score department. Alas, alack the day, as ole Wild Bill Shakespeare used to say.
Newbie team Blue Screen of Death started up and ran smoothly, then lost some
PCU's and blipped out a couple of rounds early. Likewise, the lovable yet
vulgar IPMP (I P**ped My Pants), whose moniker Quiz Master Lou changes each
time he announces scores. Variances went from 'I Punctured My Pantaloons' to
'I Plucked My Pudenda'.
Street Smarts got shut out of the winner's circle from a cascade effect when the
other newbie team, The Snowmen, Doubled-or-Nothing'd in the last round and leapt
firmly into a first place win! Congratulations, Snowmen! The deadly alliance of
Ship It!/Blood, Bath & Beyond did the same thing (it was baseball...) and took
second while the brainy Rockerfellers enjoyed a third place spot.
Some pretty tough question sets from our quiz writing overlords in California...
Cinderella's versus Sleeping Beauty's Castle on the picture round tripped up
just about everyone. And a theme round about shoes that doesn't mention Imelda
Marcos is, well... I just don't know. The Guess Where Round was pretty good
and the Find-the-Connection Round was brilliantly executed. Nice work, overlords!
That's the dispatch. Keep your powder dry. Quiz Master Lou signing off!
