QUIZ RECAP

Lots 'o teams and lots 'o people. That was the scene at last night's KTPQ at the
Lion & Crown in Allen where eight regulars and four newbies came together for the
weekly trivia contest we know and love. Quiz Master Lou has to hand it to the
newbie teams who came in to challenge. It takes a stalwart trivia buff with the
right attitude to break into the ranks. Team Wild Cat had fun but let us know
up front they had to bail early. (School night, right?) The Griswold's went on
vacation directly while Pomp & Circus Pants (who registered and had one the best
team names) decided the questions weren't quite in their wheelhouse. But an
honorable mention goes to the Flaming Chinchillas who stuck it out to the end
and placed well for a first timer. Congratulations! You should have a drink
named after you. ("I'll have a flaming chinchilla, please!")

A couple of bad DoN's set Pickles on a Plate back, dashing their hopes from
Tuesday's victory at Killarney's. Deadly Alliance (aka Ship It!/Blood, Bath &
Beyond) suffered the same fate as did the Hilltoppers. Rockerfellas and Beer
Logic looked like contenders for a while, but it was Street Smarts, Stealth
Texas and the Bar Guys who came through in the end.

Our Round #2 Picture Round of identifying the Jason's gave rise to the evening's
best guesses of desperation. While this old fogey quiz master was impressed at
how many people knew what Derulo, Priestly and Segel looked like, (and let's
admit, that was not Biggs' standard look), I better liked the creative impulse
to refuse to leave a blank line on a quiz page. I give you...

Bourne
Stallone
Von Jason (funnier if you say Jason Von Jason. Cause, you know... Repetition.)
Smith
Jones

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving and the L&C won't be hosting a pub quiz, so I'll
next see you in December. Happy Holidays!
