We sure had fun at Brewyard Beer Company in Burbank this week, when old friends Team Fresno (photos 1,2 & 3) breezed in and swept aside the competition with a strong performance that left Mike Pence None the Richer in the second place dust. Good job, Fresno!
There were quite a few inquiries about Brimstone last night. (Check out last week's recap to learn about our precious pound puppy). And though Brimstone is fine, he is still looking for his fur-ever home.
We were encouraged when David - a kind-hearted hero from the Mike Pence team, said he'd take Brim home for a few days so he wouldn't have to spend lonely nights behind the evap silos at the Brewyard. But things didn't really go as hoped at David's house. I'll let Dave tell the tale:
"My wife didn't really warm to Brimstone. But she reluctantly agreed to let him stay," Dave reports. "But things went downhill pretty fast. While we were watching TV, we heard an awful growling sound, and when I went to investigate, I discovered that he completely chewed up my $1,200 pair of brand new Yeezys. Well, not both shoes. Just the one. The other was full of poop!"
"Then, later that night, my wife woke up from a sound sleep to find Brimstone standing over her on the bed staring at her and making that same growling sound. Scared her so badly that she started screaming in a way I haven't heard since our wedding night!"
"She made me put him outside, of course. And the next morning, I found the remains of a chicken in the yard - which is odd because no one raises chickens in our neighborhood. So we made the tough decision to bring him back. But on the way back, he threw up in my backseat and the goo was full of chicken feathers and bits of undigested high/end sneakers!"
So, not a good fit, eh Dave!? See ya all next week.
Your intrepid quizmaster is feeling a bit conflicted about our most recent quiz this week at Brewyard Beer Company in Burbank. On the one hand, it was another great night of trivia competition, with Busy Filipinos (photo #1) taking the win with an excellent 63-point performance. Congrats, kids.
But things took a turn when we announced our new bonus prize for first-place winners: the chance for a member of the winning team to provide a "fur-ever home" to a sweet, adorable bundle of joy in need of adoption.
Meet "Brimstone," (photo #2) a 4-pound bundle of joy with a sweet disposition and a loving heart. With delightful "puppy breath" that inspired his name and a cute little waggily tail, this potential cuddle buddy could be the perfect addition to any family that doesn't have kids (he is a bit of a "nipper.")
But alas, none of the Filipinos were able to adopt poor Brimstone. And the Carmen's House of Flowers crew (2nd place) were frankly a bit abrupt in declining to take Brimstone home. (I think they were grouchy about coming in second.)
Indeed, all of our teams rejected sweet little Brimstone, which means you're in luck! We'll be back next week with an all-new quiz, and you can bet Brimstone will be there, ready to bring warmth and joy (and a bit of poop - Brim isn't entirely house trained just yet) to the home of one lucky quizzer.
See ya next week!!
