It was a little on the light side last night with only four
regular teams showing up to play. Is everyone else on Vacation?
Either that or people could be ducking and covering in anticipation
of an EMP attack? Maybe the hotel rates go down afterwards?
After the holidyas, I mean. Well, come to think of it...
The Rockerfellers (no relation, fortunately) pulled a Secretariat
and pulled way out in front with two, back-to-back Double or
Nothings in Rounds one and two, cementing their lead and a first
place win by nearly twenty points! Ah, victory. Tastes like...
Flatbread pizza! And maybe those cute little corn dog bites!
Those are two of the tastiest treats at the Lion & Crown and this
quiz master saw a lot of them being served last night!
The FNG's duked it out with Pickles on a Plate for a tense and
dramatic battle for second place. Both teams went back and forth
round after round but the FNG's shouldered them out with a
narrow two point lead. This is the second, consecutive win
for the FNG's in as many weeks, moving up from third place to
second. At this rate, who knows? Alas, Deadly Alliance could
have been the second place winner had they not Doubled down
on the Round Five Find the Connection round. Had they earned
nine points instead of zero, they would have walked away with
two prize cards. Oh well. C'est la vie!
Some interesting question sets from our quiz writers. The Picture
Round called for identifying famous Chris', or celebrities whose
first names are Chris. Revelations: Chris Tucker doesn't look
like himself anymore. Most folks remember Christopher Lee either
as Hammer Films' Dracula, Bond villain Scaramanga or LOTR's
Saruman, but one team remembered him as Christopher Plumber!
Actually, one wonders how ole Chris Lee would've fared as Capt.
Von Trapp... Or how about Julie Andrews as Mina Harker?!?
Another fun gaff was how all teams misidentifed the tallest,
Hawaiian volcano as a macadamia nut! Oh well. Product branding
recognition versus potential earth disaster. That might anger
some gods, ya know?
Another glorius summer weekend is upon us. Let us pray it is not
the last! Remember kiddoes, stay hydrated, get your nose out of
your smart phone while driving and fer goshsake... Don't click
on those stupid, phishing name generators! Quiz Master Lou,
signing off!
