About The Recess Room

Answer Submission Form for The Recess Room

One fateful day three decades ago, five boys picked up a game of handball during school recess on a Fountain Valley playground. They grew up together, became life-long friends and pursued their own ambitions. But they shared a deep love for their hometown and dreamed of one day opening a restaurant together where they could share good food, good drinks and reminisce about good times. The Recess Room is their childhood dream come to life.

Christmas In July folks as we five months away from the big day! Santa is still on Corona timeout so the white bearded one was not with us and neither was Jerry who could be Santa at our December Ugly Sweater Holiday Triiva night!

Thank you to holiday sweater winner Jeremy of the team Implication and he loves his trophy prize of a silver new drink mixer. Also congrats to Holiday centerpiece winner Chris of Tapped Out. It pays to play!! Welcome to Mark from Sacramento who came to be on Chris' team! 

We were inside in our "play room" due to the heat. We had the return of The Bogies with originals Julian and Steven pkus their friends Robin and another friend. 

Also, welcome to a King Trivia team online and back out in the fresh air - the Howie Mandel Effect! I forgot to share that I have met Howie several times as I have asked him interview questions at the TCA annual event for the Television Critics Association showcase and previews of shows plus I was a flash mob dancer in DTLA for his TV show. He actually recognized me and touched my arm so another writer exclaimed "I thought you don't touch people?" Howie quickly replied "I touch people but I don't want others to touch me!" (I remember first spotting Howie in Studio City at a drive up photo develop booth back in the day in the 1980s. Yes, I have been around before phone cameras!) Small world is that a longtime Hollywood clotheswapper friend is his press agent. 

Enough of Pop Culture History according to Lorraine, lets review our Hump Day Happiness which is Free Whiskey Tasting with tonight's selections from the Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks, Michigan. I had a wee drop of #LastFeatherRye'. So smooth! It took the edge off me for forgetting the Christmas lights decorations!

Soooo Round 1- General Knowledge covering Adele, a Mantle, Scooby-Doo, a future Supreme Court Justice, Night of the Living Dead and hot dogs!!

Round 2 was the Picture Round of "Tearing Into The Books" where trivia whiz kids identify the title of the book from its torn, first edition cover.

Round 3 was "Think Pink!" A round about "pink" things which involved umami, a funny face, Dumbo, a pink medicine and a person with pink in his name.

Round 4 was Guess Who about a fictional lovable character who rode out Hurricane Carmen and he taught Elvis how to fo his signature hip swinging dance. (I never met Elvis but I know a few impersonators!)

Round 5 is the long 10 questions for Find The Connection which involved Ohio State, a Leaf that drives, a FROG that people wear for protection, Daphne from Frasier, Mike Hammer (I do have a Stacey Keach story but you have to be there to hear the inside scoop!"), a Barracuda, a conch shell, hedgehog, porcini and a 1927 silent movie. Ah the suspense!!

Round 6 - "Release the question!' 🙂 Yes Keit!! This is the matching handout of Real winners where the players match the winning contestant to the reality show which involved The Voice, Last Comic Standing, Survivor and the usual night time TV roundup. Highway Star was on another solo roll of lots of Double or Nothings! Well played! 

Round 7 was a set of two parts for just a total of 10 minutes to answer which involved "Grillin' With Gas". 

Congratulations to all 22 players and 7 teams for another fun night. 

Remember next week is our dress Hawaiian luau night. Make a caftan or a halftan to wear where the Recess Room does a roasted pig head that shocks and delights the hungry. So come and pig out some wonderful free whiskey tasting Wednesday with us!! Aloha from Celtic Tiki Rain aka Emeraldlorraine.
