QUIZ RECAP

It's the July 4th Independence Day Weekend and to kick it off, 

last night's King Trivia Pub Quiz at Ye Olde Lion & Crown Pub 

got things going on a high note despite the humidity, the 

rain and the thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening! 

You know that thing where it's all nice and air conditioned 

inside the bar, but then you walk outside and your glasses 

fog up because it's so muggy?  Well that was Quiz Master Lou 

last night.  I got mugged by the mugginess.  No, really.  I 

was walking back to my truck after the show and my glasses 

went opaque white!  I had to stop because I couldn't see where 

the heck I was going!  And when you're loaded down with forty 

pounds of PA and QM kit, you don't have a free hand to wipe 

your lenses!  So I just stood there.  Waiting for my glasses 

to acclimatize.  One.  Two.  Three.  Man, this is taking a long 

time.  "Mommy, what's wrong with that man?" I hear from behind 

me.  "Come along darling.  Quickly now!"  The sound of alarmed, 

scampering footsteps scurrying away doppler in my ears.  Sweat 

begins beading on my forehead.  Twelve.  Thirteen.  Fourteen.  

C'mon!  This is taking forever!  A mosquito lands on my nose!  

A careful, practiced pursing of my lips combined with a jutting 

lower jaw and sharp exhalation send a blast alcohol laden breath 

at the pest, warning it off my proboscis.  Eighteen.  Nineteen.  

Twenty.  Finally, the fog starts to peel back.  Ahh.  I'm able 

to move forward again!  As I load up my gear, I recall the 

inside advertising covers of comic books I have read in my 

youth.  Along with sea monkeys, X-Ray Specs and pepper gum, 

I seem to recall windshield winders for glasses.  Or am I just 

inventing a false memory?  But, I digress...  

Congratulations to the FNG's, who finally made it into the 

winner's circle this week by placing third with a well placed 

Double-or-Nothing (and despite two DoN misses!  Oops...).  The 

Rockerfellers won second while Bar Guy won first.  A big L&C 

welcome to newbies Apex, who enjoyed themselves but whose picture I snapped was too out of focus to publish.  

QM Lou's favorite question set this week was the Round Six Hand 

Out which required matching 10 atheletes to movies they appeared 

in.  I was intrigued by the absence of O.J. Simpson, then it 

occurred to me that his infamy may have tinted his selection.  

On the other hand, that could be another category in the KTPQ 

future quizzes.  Celebrity Felons anyone?  

Have a great 4th of July, don't blow your hand off and watch 

out for false flags!  QM Lou, signing off!
