QUIZ RECAP

It was a blitzkrieg of bustle as buisness boomed last night at 

the bacchanalian Lion & Crown, as it bristled with brainy buccaneers 

all bubbling with boozy brass!  (Whew! Alliterate that you wordless, 

witless, wafflers!) 

We started off with eight teams (but lost one right out of the gate 

as they bailed due to noise pollution - try finding a quiet sports 

bar).  The big dark horse of the evening was returning newbie 

team (is that a thing?) Oh Sh... who started off in last place 

but ended up in first by evening's end with two Double-or-Nothing's

back-to-back in the final two rounds!  The young man in the green 

hat whose rebel yells cracked glasses and burst ear drums revealed 

he was a summer school teacher of geography.  Our last two question 

sets concerned Spanish translations of sea animals and the ten 

U.S. States to first ratify the Constituion in 1799. (Talk about 

wheelhouse...) 

A chagrined Ship It! slipped to second while the returning Dallas 

Booler's Club picked up third.  Pickles on a Plate fell a rung 

to fourth and Velvet Hammered ended in fifth, even with 42 points! 

Nice to see So Much Pressure and Jarvis come back.  

In the department of Mirthful Wrong Guesses, style points go to 

the team that answered Chip 'n Dale in trying to keen the title 

of Disney's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.  In the Department 

of Astounding Right Guesses, Dallas Booler's Club surprised all 

by getting the Guess Who Round's ten point clue on the first go! 

The famous person was Samuel L Jackson and the cryptic tip had 

to do with his overcoming a stutter as a child.  The guy that 

figured that one out had just read a bio of Jackson which stated 

one of the tongue twisters SLJ employed was repitition of the 

base and common MF'r.  This quiz master noted that not only did 

it cure him of his speech impediment, it became his moneymaker, 

as he gets paid $50,000.00 every time he says it.  Nice work if 

you get it, eh?  

Have a (insert your adjective here) weekend.
