QUIZ RECAP

On Thursday nights, the Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop is a pub; 

And that's when we have King Trivia Pub Quiz!  Unless we want 

to call it King Trivia Coffee Shop Quiz?  Or maybe we could 

go with Dunn Brothers Coffee Pub?  I'm drifting...  

We had three teams appear.  When I say 'appear', I don't mean 

they materialized out of thin air, I'm speaking metaphorically.  

And when I say I'm 'speaking', I really mean I'm typing...  I'm 

drifting again.  Sorry.  The nice thing about playing KTPQ with 

only three teams is that everyone is a winner!  

Jody Foster Fan Club (JFFC) took home the gold for the third 

time in a row, giving them a nice little winning streak.  The 

Rockafellers scored second and newbie team the Dukes (who also 

registered) came in third.  Welcome Dukes!  

Naturally, there were some Christmas and Hannukah questions 

in the sets this week as we approach the impending holiday.  

The Theme Round was titled SEASON'S EATINGS, where players 

had to figure out some traditional holiday food minutia. QM 

Lou's fave was Round Six's NOT SO SECRET SANTA, where teams 

had to match the gift listed to the movie character that 

received it.  (Those punning devils!) 

Well, next week is the lead in to Christmas and QM Lou will 

appear (but not materialize) at Dunn Bros on the eve of the 

eve for yet another KTPQ!  Until then, I remain, as always... 

Yours

QUIZ RECAP

The action at Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop was exciting last night 

to say the least.  The Jody Foster Fan Club (JFFC) took home 

first place with aplomb while Deadly Alliance, severely under-

manned, finished last.  The drama occurred when Rockerfellers 

slugged it out with the Bumble Bees to win a tie breaker for 

second and third places, respectively.  

There was an excellent cross section of questions from our 

trivia overlords as well.  This led to some pretty good entries 

for Quiz Master Lou's Mirth Department of Wrong Guesses of 

Desperation.  For example...  

The U.S. equivalent of Britain's John Bull is Uncle Sam.  But 

one team put down Smokey Bear.  (I wonder if the UK has a Smokey 

Bear equivalent?  Sooty Nigel?)  The Picture Round challenged the 

players to name the actor playing a vampire.  No one could identify 

Jemaine Clement from What We Do in the Shadows, but one team put down Donahue Van Burton.  Puzzled, QM Lou tried googling said name and came up empty.  Said team admitted they just made it up.  

QM Lou quipped, "It's a mash up of Troy Donahue, Van Johnson 

and Richard Burton."  The Guess Who Round's subject was Avril 

Lavigne, but QM Lou doesn't take off for spelling even though 

one team's orthography was closer to Lasagne than Lavigne.  

That's all I've got.  Have a great weekend and don't take any 

wooden pasta!  (Now I'm hungry...) 

QUIZ RECAP

Last night's quiz at Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop elicited a few 

guffaws as four teams met to bash their brains for answers to 

our silly questions!  

The Jody Foster Fan Club (JFFC) came away the winner snagging 

first place honors with a one point margin!  The Rockafellers 

slipped to second while the undermanned duo of Deadly Alliance 

came in third.  Semi-regulars Always Late showed up a little 

behind their time (hence their name) and staggered in last 

place, appropriate to their moniker.  

The Picture Round challenge was to identify the eight, pictured 

Time Magazine Persons-of-the-Year.  Fame is easy, right?  Well, 

no one could identify Corazon Aquino, the 11th president of the 

Phillipenes, who deposed former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, 

although someone got somewhat close by guessing it might have 

been Imelda, his shoe hoarding wife.  And when in doubt, go 

for the joke.  One team guessed Mrs. Doubtfire.  

Our Handout Round required players to match the Reality Show 

with the original network on which it appeared.  Congratulations 

were lauded to those teams that got the most matches correct.  

Accolades were given to those teams that got the most answers 

wrong simply because Quiz Master Lou presumed that they spent 

their time in more intellectual pursuits rather than staring 

at a screen.  Well, it's called trivia for a reason...  

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday.  We're back at 

Dunn Bros on Thursdays so come see us!  Au revoir, mes amis!
