QUIZ RECAP
Post Independence Day jollity with increased headcount dominated
proceedings at ye olde Lion & Crown in Watters Creek last night
as eleven teams ("Ours goes to eleven!" with apologies to Nigel
Tufnel) competed.
Two newbies, styling themselves the Miss Fits and Dumb & Dumber,
learned the hard way that all our regular teams are sharks.
Apropos as there was a shark question in Round Three. But they
had fun anyway.
The Bumble Bees and the FNG's gambled and lost on the old Double
-or-Nothing. You know, sometimes you think you know, but then
you find out you don't know. You know?
Velvet Hammered did well until the end, then either retired
due to being well hammered by well drinks, or maybe he just
got lucky? Oh, well...
Pickles on a Plate were great, but just couldn't penetrate the
winner's circle this time. Maybe they weren't pickled enough?
The Rockerfellers, slightly undermanned this week, fell from
grace after a five week straight winning streak. (You see?!?
It can happen!)
Our long absent friends Street Smarts snagged a well deserved
third place prize. They also get an honorable mention because
Quiz Master Lou forgot to charge his phone before coming to the
pub and was in danger of losing power before game's end! Not
to worry. Street Smarts came to the rescue with a portable
battery and kept QM Lou's phone in wireless juice til the end.
Kudos to you!
Deadly Alliance proved they were still deadlier than most by
earning a second place win while the Dallas Booler's Club went
out in style with first! The DBC will all be going back to
school so I'm told this is their summer swan song. Perhaps
we may see disparate elements of the group from time to time...
Time enough for this missive. Time's up! I'm out of time.
Yet time is eternal, so does a clock tick if no one's there
to experince it? Mull that one over if you have the time...
