QUIZ RECAP
It was a warm night for December at the Lion & Crown in Allen last night. No
fire in the fire pit, but there was a flame of frivolity in the air as several
teams of regulars and a couple of newbies descended upon the pub to try and
triumph at our trivia tryst!
Welcome to the Mother Runners, who enthusiastically embraced the King (of
Trivia) as their new liege of leisure, hopefully due to the machinations of
Quiz Master Lou. Also, a big welcome to Cry Havoc, who appreciate a good
Shakespeare quote. Welcome back to Jarvis as well. Haven't seen them in a
while and they should register their team name. (Two point bonus!)
The Divas returned as well. This time, they brought some men along. I think
they may have been man-divas(?). I think the male gender term is divo. They
were not men. They were divo! (A little eighties humor, there...) Whatever
they brought to the game however, worked well. They grabbed the lead mid game
and held onto it until the penultimate round when Deadly Alliance, formerly
known as Blood, Bath & Beyond ("Hey, change your name on the website, guys!"),
took over with a stunning Double-or-Nothing for a climatic win. Stealth Texas
snuck in a good third place showing while Street Smarts found themselves out on
the street, unfortunately.
Celebrity worship reared its ugly head in the Round Two Picture round as those
in the know were able to identify Hollywood stars by their smiles. Those who
blissfully didn't care earned style points by tagging Tom Cruise as Desmond
Tutu and Will Smith as Madame Curie.
Have a great weekend everybody!
