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.
The Lion & Crown was hopping last night as seven teams converged
on Ye Olde Public House to compete at that particular pastime
known as King Trivia Pub Quiz. The place was absolutely alive
with hope, anticipation and enthusiasm for the official "opening"
of Texas next week, that is eagerly awaited! It is in that spirit
that Quiz Master Lou believes he saw an elevation in participation
numbers and the appearance of some old faces he hadn't seen in
awhile.
To that end, welcome back Mike & Shantal, Jason and especially
Tito! Tito, whose smiling face and music selections embolden
the sinews, sharpen the mind and warm the heart. And a huge
hospitality to the incredible duo team, the Bumble Bees, who
not only returned like prodigals, but buzzed into a first place
win with an eighteen point lead! Team Captain Awesome appears
to have joined the ranks of the regulars by returning not only
to the pub but to the winner's circle as well. After a fierce
tie with Ship It! for a couple of rounds, they broke out of the
pack and gave Pickles on a Plate a run for their number two
position money and succeeded in attaining second place! A side
note: The quiz picked up two late arrivals after Round One had
already started but they wanted to play anyway. Nice to see
Jarvis again and an old friend's team banner got rejuvenated,
Stealth Texas! As King Arthur once said as the fog rolled in,
"We'll fight them using the old ways!"
Our quiz writing overlords came up with a few conundrums which
not only perplexed the mind but stimulated the class clown muse.
Unable to identify Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt character from the
Mission Impossible film franchise, one card put down Scientology
sucks. But by far, the challenge that got the most "creative"
wrong guesses was trying to name the seven sequels of The Fast
and the Furious franchise. From our local wags...
Faster and Furiouser
Fast and Furious: School Zone
Fast and Furious: Speed Bump
Fast and Furious: Skidmarks
Fast and Furious: Vroom Vroom
Fast and Furious: Out of Gas
Fat and Furious
All righty, kids. That's all I got. Got to rest up for next week
as I anticipate things will get quizzier and quizziest! Drive safe!
