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 King Trivia Pub Quiz held at the Lion & Crown pub in
Allen was notably out of the ordinary as evidenced by the hobbled
arrival of Quiz Master Lou, who showed up on crutches! And just
how did this trauma occur, one might ask? Was it an extreme
sport injury? A martial arts mishap? Did I trip while playing
with my cats? Nope. I was flexing my ankle while seated when
suddenly, I heard a "pop"! Pain and swelling followed. Youch.
My visit to the doctor was reminiscent of Rambo's plea to Sheriff
Teasle in First Blood... "I didn't do anything!" Doc just smiled.
Apparently, it happens. But, unlike the USPS motto which doesn't
seem to apply anymore, when it comes to the KTPQ, 'Not rain,
nor snow, nor sprained ankle can keep these Quiz Masters from
their appointed shows.' (I paraphrase.)
Thankfully, Quiz Master Lou's lovely wife Margaret ably assisted
the proceedings with apt attention by passing out the pictures
and handouts to the teams, equipment set up, et al. Much obliged,
my dear!
Pickles on a Plate took top honors again this week with a 55
point win. Ship It! scored second. Newbie team Independent
Slave Co. (???) would have won third place, but they left the
premises prematurely. (Must have been summoned by their
respective masters and mistresses one presumes. Oh well, so
much for independence...)
A big thank you to Pickles and Ship It! whose loyal attendance
is nothing less than extraordinary. Things are going to get
better, you'll see. But there may be some hurdles to clear
before that happens. Trust one.
