QUIZ RECAP

Everybody was a winner at the Lion & Crown in Allen this week 

as three regular teams got together for their usual Thursday 

night trivia contest.  

Pickles on a Plate walked away with first place after a successful 

Double-or-Nothing in Round Three's Theme Round, which consisted 

of alternating questions about United Airlines and the United 

Kingdom.  (BTW, the rumor that the FAA has changed its name 

from Federal Aviation Administration to Forget About Afghanistan 

is completely unfounded.  We think...) 

The Rockafellers rocked second place in getting the most 

correct answers on Round Six by being able to match the city 

to the Newspaper.  (Pssst!  Paper is making a comeback!  We 

think...)  Promising sign was all teams knew the Dallas Morning 

News!  (Quiz Master Lou remembers the local paper of record 

as being Dallas Times Herald, but I digress...) 

Deadly Alliance came in third but still snagged a prize.  If 

they had gotten the Double-or-Nothing on the final Round Seven, 

they would have leaped into first, but it was not to be.  Still, 

it was a glorious failure.  

Congratulations to our quiz writers who penned a pretty good 

Round Four Guess Who Round.  The subject was Sandra Day O'Connor, who, incidentally, used to live in Maricopa County, AZ where she served as State Senator, Assistant Attorney General, sat 

as a Superior Court and then an Appeals Court Judge!  How's 

that for a cosmic coinkydink?  Our Thursday FaceBook question 

of the week was, What is the name of the rare Norwegian dog 

that translates to "Puffin dog"?  One of my fb wags put down 

Opushund.  I had to admonish him that Opus was a penguin and 

not a puffin.  

Running Trivia while the world burns, this is Quiz Master Lou
