QUIZ RECAP

Trivia was interesting and all but kudos to the man in full cowboy gear, Willy Nelson beard, and a hat with a brim taller than Kobe who walked in around 10:30, looked around, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "TODAY IS SUNDAY AND SUNDAY IS AS SUNDAY DOES" and then "YEE-HAW" before strumming one hand down the guitar he was carrying and turning around to exit and never be seen again. A Ghost of Trivia Past or Future? Nobody quite knows but we'll be talking about Mister Sunday for years to come.

QUIZ RECAP

A real life "Quiet Place" on the Promenade tonight as everyone was taking shelter at home to avoid the cold, the rain, Bohemian Rhapsody's Golden Globes win and that abysmal Eagles game. But the few teams who were brave enough to enter into a deserted Barney's found themselves blissfully surprised at their own intellect as they identified super villains, compared Spotify top ten lists, and eyed the TV for ESPN coverage of WNBA games. Special shoutout to manager, Sharon, who always appreciates the tunes and to the England team, visiting the USA on holiday who were so intrigued by playing "like a game show!" that they stuck around for the entire game and gleefully answered questions even though that jet lag was kicking in reaaaaal good.

We sent 2018 out with a bang at Barney's Santa Monica tonight, 9 teams went head-to-head. The Spanish InQUIZition were unstoppable and took home the $100 first prize. Most teams were stumped by the "smell of celebrity fragrance" round, which only speaks well of them in this quizmaster's estimation 😉 Quizzie McGuire was a family effort, they came second even though 2 of their team members fell ASLEEP, see photo. That place is not quiet either. Impressive. And New Year's Evil Dead managed to secure 3rd, even though they knocked their (tiny) table over THREE TIMES! Also impressive. Shout out to Ham Taro, you know what you know you know what you mean? Your mama didn't raise a quitter. And Mom Jeans didn't know anything about sports but she does know about Hail Mary strategy - she doubled like a superhero on the final sports round despite knowing nothing about sports. Never say die Mom Jeans!

Happy New Year, geniuses. See you in 2019...
