QUIZ RECAP

Thank you to the night warriors who came out to play on this post Labor Day Holiday weekend. We had three returning team and three new teams. Welcome to the new teams. 

We played in the back room and it was a pleasant night yet there was one team who were possible high school cheerleaders back in the day as they cheered for every answer, right or wrong and loved to talk and talk. I bet they are fun on a rollercoaster screaming. The secret to Happy Hour drinks is to eat to absorb Mr. Al K. Hall. Just saying! We were all amused by their antics as we had no choice in spite of gentle yet assertive suggestions to ' listen to the quizmaster'. Thankful they had to exit before the last rounds and walk  the long way home as they had work in the morning. Whew! Thank you everyone for being gracious to them as they were oblivious to glaring glances and other hints. This is why teachers get burnt out! 

Sooooo here is the recap of the 7 rounds! Round one for General Knowledge involved a tricky Dick, a character named Pikacho, how to make basil, the author of the best selling book The Outsiders and the peace organization that founded International Literacy Day. (Insert the high pitch screaming duo's responds after every answer.)

Round 2- Picture Round entitled Hip Hop XX to identify the female rapper. Some gals almost know all their rappers. It involved a Queen, a B, a Hill, a Minaj, a Missy, an Azalea, a Cat and a former virgin. A very loud answer time. This reminds me of the quote on a sand sculpture on the sands of Balboa Island. 'Stop trying to please everyone. You are not tequila!"

Round 3 - The Loser's Circle-A round about famous losers. Six questions involving the Battle of Waterloo, the 2017 Oscars Best Picture, Buffalo, the singer to a loser song, a chess game and the first season of American Idol.

Round 4 - Guess Who is a she but who can she be? Let's just put it this way, she is the former bf of Wyona Ryder as this 'friend' stole her role in Shakespeare in Love and won an Oscar for it. The downfall of Wyona's bad habits might have been PTSD from the fallout. 

Round 5 - Find the Connection. A great round for 3 teams who did Double or Nothing to earn 20 points for a 10 point round. This round involved a Queen, a shiny bling which is the hardest natural substance on Earth, 80s actors, Edmonton Oilers, the Tin Man, the Golden Bear (not the one in HB where I went on a blind date in 1977 to see Detective play with my future father of my two children), the catchphrase 'Alrighty then', a Joker, sporting equipment with wedges, woods and irons. You had to be here to play this hand to know the answer.

Round 6 - handout of Prime Time Players list of match the SNL character to the cast member. This 10 round was another success for two Double or Nothing winners. It involved the deceased funny wife of Gene Wilder, Gilly, Gumby, Molly, a Foley (not my ex Irish bf who dumped me because of my strict upbringing!) a Maya, an Opera lover, a downer and Stefan!

Round 7 was Painting by Numbers round to list the ten artists who created the ten most expensive paintings ever sold (value measured with inflation adjusted value). The artists hints are two Pauls, one Pablo, a Ninja turtle name, Willem, a Jackson, GK, Mark, Rembrandt, and Amedeo (a word from Bohemian Rhapsody!).

Thanks again to the great busy Recess Room staff for another wonderful night and congratulations to Highway Star Keit for your 15TH weeks in the #1 winning spot. Well done! (Note the newbie team Podd Squad was just 6 points away!)  Have a great week. Plan to join us next Wednesday for another intriguing, mind challenging fun time with King Trivia at the Recess Room!!!
