QUIZ RECAP

Happy weekend out there to all as we wrap up yet another weekly 

installment of Thursday night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at ye olde 

Lion & Crown in lovely Watter's Creek!  And lovely it was despite 

unexpected adversity when Quiz Master Lou showed up for his usual 

gig only to discover that the pub had been preempted by a private 

function and all regular business had been relegated to the patio!  

(Somebody forgot to tell someone something somewhere!) But...  

No problemo.  Ole Quiz Master Lou rolls with the punches.  I didn't 

do improv for nothin' ya know.  Securing a small table (sorry I 

spilled your drink, mister) I quickly set up in the flower bed 

so as to avoid blocking the waiters' egress to the patio crowd 

(never let it be said that QM Lou isn't thoughtful) and proceeded 

to broadcast from the geraniums.  (Those blue bonnets probably 

won't recover but heck, they're plentiful in Texas and sacrifices 

have to be made!) 

Stalwart loyals the FNG's, Velvet Hammered, Pickles on a Plate 

and our long-time-no-see friends the Rockerfellers showed up and 

enjoyed playing on the patio (the weather was great!) and were 

joined by newbies Sven, who later had trouble with the scoring 

app and bailed early.  Too bad, I enjoyed their particiapation 

and especially their contribution.  Their large table of patrons 

complained to the management they couldn't hear the questions and actually got staff to shut off the jukebox!  It was lovely quiet!  

(Except of course for QM Lou's incessant questions and quips!) 

Pickles took first place, Rockerfellers got second and Velvet 

snagged third.  

We have to thank our quiz writing overlords out west for yet another 

brilliant question set this week.  The Theme Round of "Dash" was 

pretty good and the wag who didn't know Jane Austen's Sense and 

Sensibilty's Elinor and Marianne Dashwood simply put down "Dash 

Me!" for the answer.  Style points awarded.  Round Five's Find-

the-Connection was clever/lofty with some pretty hard questions 

leading to the motif of British Prime Ministers, but my smarty 

teams got it!  Perhaps QM Lou's fave was Round Six's Match the 

'Mountain' song to the Artist.  Everything from Rocky Mountain 

High to Ain't no Mountain High Enough to In the Hall of the Mountain King (Yes!) was on there, but QM Lou feels KT was remiss for not including Donovan's There is a Mountain.  But then, life is full 

of missed opportunities...  

That's all I got.  Come on down next time, y'all!  Have a great 

weekend!  Bye!
