QUIZ RECAP

Last night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at the Lion & Crown in Allen
was just like old times! Eight teams competed for prizes at the
old pub in a spirit of memorabilia not seen since the summer of
2019 PC (Pre-Covid).

Regulars Pickles on a Plate, Bar Guy and Jarvis had a tough
time against newbies What's A Good Group Name?, Team Captain
Awesome, Jenda, Velvet Hammered and Bumbling Idiots. Soloist
Velvet Hammered, who, despite the apparent loss of brain cells
to alcohol ratio, still managed to take home first place with a
strategic Double-or-Nothing in the last round! In fact, second
and third placers Jenda and WaGGN? respectively, also engineered
the exact same feat! Miraculous, wasn't it?!? Particularly as
the question set for that round required knowledge of the
Kardashian offspring AND U.S. State representation! Wow!

Speaking of question sets, a tip of the helmet to our quiz
writers yet once again for another tantalizing test of trivia.
Some tricky queries led a few souls to the wrong green, but
that's par for the course. The Picture Round was especially
treacherous with having to identify children's books from their
illustrations. The classics fared better than the newer tales
as their pictures were reminiscent of the classics anyway! BFG
got terribly mistaken for Thumbelina. I mean, what were you
thinking, Quentin Blake?!? Or could it be that the clever
manipulation of images by deceptive quiz writers can deep fake
us sheeple masses? Most of us will never know...

Until next time, QM Lou says, "Watch the skies for a warning!"
I don't really know why I say that, but I say it anyway. Bye
for now!
