QUIZ RECAP

Last night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at the old L&C was subdued,
sublime and strange. Ever have one of those weird evenings
when curious coincidences seem to converge, comingle and then
move on? Well, as Quiz Master Lou pulled up outside of the pub
the song blaring out of his playlist was Earth, Wind and Fire's
That's the Way of the World. Exit the vehicle, unload gear,
and as I'm making my way across the street, the Watter's Creek
PA Muzak starts playing the same song! This, in conjunction
with the fact that one of the pairings on this evening's Round
Six Handout questions is to match bassist Verdine White with
the above mentioned band! Oh, and to add peculiarity to
strangeness, it was a full moon! Add it all up and what does
it mean?!? (Shrug) I guess that really is the way of the
world sometimes...

Newbies Team Oh Gawd got buffeted a bit as they ventured into
the harsh waters of KTPQ for the first time. By game's end they
were finally getting the hang of it. But we admire them for
their pluck though they ended up in fourth place. Pickles on
a Plate started off strong in the lead but eventually slid to a
third place finish. Last week's big winner, Velvet Hammered,
came in second place this time, still proving that one man can
make a difference. Bar Guys came out on top with a strong,
steady pace coupled with a strategic Double-or-Nothing.

Some mirth was had at the expense of some of our Quiz Questions.
There's no planet in our solar system named A Midsummer Night's
Dream, but characters from this comedy, when described as "moons
of Uranus" take on a whole different complexion. Round Three's
UFO theme was right up QM Lou's alley (being a card carrying
member of the Foil Hat Brigade). The rest was an old West gun
fighter, pizza, basketball and X-Men. Until next week amigos,
watch the skies! It might not be a full moon shining on you!
