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.
Well boys and girls, here's the last Recap of the year as our
faithful trivia teams in Texas travel to their tickled taverns
to try think out tough tests! (Whew!)
Four teams competed at the Lion & Crown in Allen last night.
Pickles on a Plate made their usual (and most welcome) showing.
Likewise, Ship It! held down their undermanned little fort with
typical aplomb. Last week's placer playing under the nom de
plume Little Men in a Boat became this week's sensation after
rebranding themselves as Tiny Tims. And welcome to newcomers
I Don't Care.
Another awesome quiz from our writers out in the People's
Kommunity of Kalifornia. Here's a few titters from our DoM
(Department of Mirth) as errant answers produced a few chuckles.
Misidentification held sway. Captain Holt on Brooklyn Nine
Nine is not played by Elon Musk was the starter, but the most
wrong guesses came from trying to ID American Olympic Gold
Medalists. Megan Rapinoe got pegged as Megyn Kelly. Hmmm.
Soccer player and news caster. Maybe they're both hooligans?
Kristi Yamaguchi got Kim Jong Un. Now I'm sure that one was a
purely desperate guess using pop news confusion as a map. Finally,
the only thing funny about Brian Boitano is when you don't know
how to spell his name. One last item, on our Theme Round, ABBA
was the reference point and the question asked the name of the
European music competition they won in 1974. Fairly obscure
enough to get the stabs-in-the-dark, Europe's Got Talent and
Octoberfest!
As we say goodbye to 2020, the custom of looking back and taking
a stroll down memory lane for some perennial nostalgia is quickly
overcome by substituting death march on Ministry of Truth Avenue.
So, let's forget that and look ahead instead. As we emerge into
2021, I'm sure there will be a difference of reactions ranging
from Miranda's observation, "O brave new world That has such people
in't!" to Neo's red pill awakening to Winston Smith's self realized
love of Big Brother to George Washington's surprising the Hessians.
Stay well, friends.
