QUIZ RECAP

Last night's pub quiz was similar to the Andromeda Strain, in 

that the number of teams kept growing even after the game had 

started, despite the fact that it was in a vacuum bombarded by 

electrons.  Umm, that last part was about Andromeda's growth 

capacity, not the pub teams.  Although...  

We started off with eight teams but grew into eleven by the 

time round two had started because, well...  Ours goes to 11! 

Newbies the River Rats showed up late but had fun scurrying 

about the wharf despite ending up in ninth place.  Han Solo 

shot first but finished seventh.  Velvet Hammered showed up 

late and then dropped out early. Newbies 2 Dumb Dudes neither 

lived up or down to their moniker placing eighth.  The Dog 

Whisperer returned after a long absence.  I guess it took a 

long time to hear the quiz whistle?  The FNG's (ask them what 

that stands for) achieved a lead in round three but ended in 

fifth after two failed Double-or-Nothing's.  Pickles on a Plate 

remained stalwart and honorary though just outside the winner's 

circle in fourth.  The Rockerfellers reasserted themselves and 

nicked a third place win but the real drama came when Deadly 

Alliance fought a tie-breaker with old-bie (that's a term that 

means the team name is registered but they haven't shown up to 

play in dog's years!) Costco School of Law for first place! 

CSoL won the contest all by his lonesome, putting him on a par 

with VH for the 50 lb brain club!  

Another noteworthy quiz from our western overlords with a diverse 

sampler of license plates, rock bands, alcoholic beverages and 

board games.  Our mirth award goes to the team that confused 

Boston's guitar shaped space craft for the Bezos shaped one.  

That's all I got!  Quiz Master Lou signing off!
