QUIZ RECAP
Well the Recess Room sent us out to the parking lot to play under the Big Tent. I was the ringleader of the circus getting settled in to our new arena complete with an awesome long stylish rectangle glass beads fire strip table to warm us on this balmy spring evening.
Today was four familiar teams plus two veteran teams returning. Full house of 22 players amongst 6 teams.
The Church members of Quizentology sat up front with Bill and his bevy of brainiacs -Kyle, Jamie, Jennifer, Leigh and Diana. Lots of laughs coming in as honourable mention tonight.
New faces but long time local players Kristen and Nick of Win Or Lose We Still Booze came in 4th place but left before the end as it is a school night. Hope you return or we will send out the truant patrol to find you! I know where you both work. 🙂
Knock On Wood from nearby Newport Beach were glad to find a local spot doing trivia. The Recess Room has been tremendous supporters of King Trivia during this pandemic pause and we are honoured for their patronage!
Knock on Wood announced that of the two couples as teammates, the men are brothers. One of the couples recently got engaged. Congratulations!
The Implications team liked the team logo I created for them on their personalized mini chalkboard table reserve sign that I made for each team. X marks the spot for this rambacous young chatty team of longtime friends, siblings and couples. Next week is musicial chairs with seat arrangements as one pair of siblings need more elbow room. My school lunch lady duty skills live on! Keeping the peace! Might have to bring the fire extinguish even as this team is on fire with their energy!
Ava's Minions with just the lovely romantic duo of Yvonne and Brian were flying solo without their wingwoman daughter to run the trivia input controls. They did well still by coming in 2nd place.
Home Team aka Highway Star Keit is still in the lead for another first place night. The Implications were fishing to see afterwards if he would join them next week. I chimed in and said "That can be arranged. We can pimp him out!" Keep 'em laughing!
In Round 1 we learned about Manga, US geography, # of years on Esty to be vintage plus the German brewery making beer since 1040. Who knew?!
Round Two Picture Round of Mantle Pieces was identifying famous awards. A mix of theatrical, cinematic, athletic, global and military awards. (Oscar was designed by an Irishman. Time for a shot if this Irish Queen Quizmistress does a music or Irish reference! Slainte! Cheers!)
Round 3 was Up the Down Staircase. All questions about either artist MC Escher or movies about teaching. (Check out my instagram @emeraldlorraine to see my holiday punk sticker version of an Escher picture.) Speaking of Christmas, my Spotify playlist during trivia had a Christmas song on it which the Implications starting singing along to. Thank you Mariah Carey! Fellow Holiday fans!
So near June 25th at the Halfway To Christmas marker we will have our belated Ugly Holiday outfit night which the December lockdown took from us. In case of warm weather, holiday Hawaiian shirts will suffice. Ho ho holidays early fun with holiday cookies and tunes. Bring out the spicy apple cider and rum!
On to Round 4 Guess Where? Google The Chechahcoos movie, Tenada, German Explorer Ferdinand von Wrangel and Dall sheep then you might figure out the answer. You have to play and be here to know all the inside scoop!
Round 5. (I was so busy with trivia that I had to take home my food tonight! It was delicious even with a reheat. Love the bone marrow burger and fries!) Find the Connection....don't you love board game pieces name games! You have to be here to get it.
Round 6 was Rafter-Effects with matching pro sport teams to the player whose # was retired. I had a Dennis Rodman story to share but half the room already had heard my story of sharing the Harp Inn comedy stage in 2019 with the Rodman. He is a good singer too. He used to shop at Tower Records Costa Mesa when I worked there.
Round 7 of Fresh From The Oven brought out the bakers in the room. The quest was to name the exact 10 ingredients for the Betty Crocker's Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies! There was promises to bring in their batches next week. I will bring the milk and mugs for those cookies!!
We are a motley crew of trivia qeeks who like to eat, drink, laugh, shout and have fun. We are a dysFUNctional family of friends who put the FUN in the function. Come join. Always room for more!!
