QUIZ RECAP

The VIBE:

Was there a basketball game on Wednesday? Or was the pope in town?Either way. It was a sold out house that apparently wanted to witness the Raptors 14 point smack-down over the Warriors. Obviously, we had to call a delay of game......but eventually when 9pm rolled around.....we were able to get things going.

19 teams started...12 survived....

3 went home with a smile and a gift card....

....but only 1 team was crowned GRAND CHAMPIONS...

Let's do this.

The GAME:

It's Quizness Time had a perfect Round 1 and were a registered team....hence the other 18 teams should have already been on high alert. Or just high. One of the two.

Round 2/Picture Round showed us a Richard Nixon in the 1950's. Several teams immediately thought Nixon - crook - 70's....but he made a less famous speech several years before. Tricky. Yeah, I know.

I'm quite certain the sensitivity of the microphone enabled me to pronounce "pop-o-matic" with such flair during Round 3, as the teams tried to guess it's board game origin.

Round 4/Guess Who? seeeeeeeemed way too easy for most teams....but that's because only 4 teams end up having the correct answer. Sure, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Courtney Cox have both accumulated a massive amount of money on two giant TV shows....but Dreyfus has almost doubled Cox's worth since then.

Popeye's anchor tattoo was key for Round 5/Find the Connection as That Black Guy From Work (who was killing it by himself!) barely missed the double-up...ah, so close!

I decided to skip The Drinking Round as I noticed 3 am was approaching and we had already been there since Monday night.

Ever hear of a land called Far Far Away? Not to be confused with Star Wars which is a galaxy far, far way... Round 6/Matching had all the teams trying to remember which town came from which movie. No team scored less than 6 points. Two teams had perfect 10's and two more teams doubled-up...easily everyone's best round!

It all came down to Round 7 which was a crazy, fun mix of Full House, Socrates, and a man named Garfield. I know...bet you wish you were there now.

The RESULTS:

It's hard to keep track of soooooo many teams....and, truth be told, one team was even accused of cheating! Eh, Warriors fans probably.

3rd place....Downtown Sasquatch secured their spot after 2 back-back Rounds 6 & 7 - Solid game! (57 points)

The alliteration champs of the night - Paul Pierce's Poopy Poo-hole - pulled out an excellent 64 points for 2nd place....

...but nobody could ever catch the CHAMPS with 71 points...

It's Quizness Time!!

A truly riveting evening of trivia. I attribute it to phrases like "purple bear beanie baby" and "colloquial".

Congrats to Fear of Flying for having anything BUT fear of flying high and winning the game.
