QUIZ RECAP
Ye olde Lion & Crown was rockin' last night with a crowd so raucous
that, in the immortal words of Major T.J. "King" Kong, it "harelipped
ever'body on Bearcreek!". This was mostly attributable to newbie
team Oh Sh*t!, whose rowdy members let out a rebel yell that red
lined the decibel meter every time they got an answer right.
Come to think of it, after about round three (you can apply that to
drinks as well as trivia sets) one fellow was war whooping even if they
got the answer wrong!
Some returning teams decided to register this time out. Bumbling
Idiots, Jarvis and first place winner There Will Be Blood & Honey (clever, that...)
all showed off their shiny new numbers. Pythagoras would have
been proud. Or not. In any case, they all got their accompanying
two point bonus.
Drama poked its nose into the tent when Oh Sh*t! and Ship It!
tied for second place, which prompted a tie breaker. An interesting
situation if ever there was one, particularly as both teams shared
so many of the same letters in their names. Weird, huh? Is that
like, numerology, only with letters? Letterology? Quiz Master Lou
thinks something cosmic was happening, but as usual, clueless as
to what.
Round Two's picture round, utilizing emojis to identify Disney flicks
was most creative and engendered no less than four, successful
Double-or-Nothing's! Round Six's literary challenge of matching novels
to their last line was awe inspiring. (This was actually the round
that propelled There Will Be Blood & Honey into first place. QM Lou
later learned that one of its teammates had a Master's in English Lit.
Talk about being in the wheelhouse!) Congrats to our quiz writers!
That's all I got. See you next week!
