QUIZ RECAP

Oh what a muggy hot August night but we were chill and cool as cucumbers in our exclusive private back room with AC!!

Half the room was returning teams and three newly recruited teams. As a Quizmaster, I make the pregame rounds inviting the various tables of diners to play with us because hey it is THE RECESS ROOM so fun Fun FUN!!!

Seven rounds of questions. Lets begin with Round 1 General Knowledge.m which involved Paris, a two faced Roman god, Don Quixote, Daytime Emmy Award winner, raw unroasted coffee beans and the Facebook and Twitter question of the week about the tallest mountain in Idaho.

Rpund Two was the Picture Round of Don't Judge Me to identify the reality show judges. The Amateurs took my suggestion for funny answers in lieu of actually knowing as they said Ken Jeong was "My Dad" plus describing Joe Bastiani h as "My best Italian friend who I wished was my personal chef".

Round 3 was A Healthy Core round about medicine and "Balls" which involved Tums, a Charlotte Hornet, Advil, a 1957 song title, the lettzr D and a red head married to a Cuban percussion.

Round 4 was Guess Who of a famous R & B singer born in 1939 who rolled wirhe The Stones, Tommy and Mad Max.

Round 5 for Find The Connection was 9 clues to arrive to the answer for the 10th question. This round involved Peggy Lee, XPS, a female comedian from a baseball movie, a large melon, Bo Peep, a 90's band, a wolf, a man with the last name of Fox and a broken egg dance. Go figure! 

Round 6 handout of "Can You Hold My Calls? was the patching round of the Secretary of State to the US president they served. 

Finally to Round 7 for "Shaqtin'A Fool" to name 10 of the 11 current NBA teams that have NOT won a championship in any city they have played in. This is yhe honor round just like school where the teams self score this row. Being a quizmaster reminds me of my parent volunteer years with a red pen correcting homework and the teachers said "just mark that they handed in it to save time!"

Big thanks to Recss Room for their trivia patronage and game night staff of Joe, Thomas, Ivan, Sam, Daniel, Jorge back from vacation plus the fantastic kitchen chefs and staff. Merci beaucoup!!

Sooo our trivia royalty winner Kiet has risen from 10 wins in a row to lucky 11 on the 11th!! He received the temporary Recess Room Trivia trophy of a vintage globe as well.as a award medallion on a patriotic ribbon and two little keepsake trophies for his car dashboard and his office. Well done King Kiet!!

Speaking of the angic # 11 it is two months till my Rocktober Birthday which will.be a sock hop night of poodle skirts, two tone saddleback shoes, with slick back hair greasers a la American Graffiti. Mark your calendar and get your outfits together.

My off the wall pic is my daughter and I in photo shop fantasy at the ocean with white horses. A surreal moment on paper just like all the wonderful surreal moments doing trivia with you all!! See you next Wednesday for more reality escapism and fun. FROLIC ON WILD ONES!!
