QUIZ RECAP

It was the best of quizzes, it was the worst of quizzes, it was 

the age of discernment, it was the age of blindness, it was the 

epoch of faith, it was the epoch of secularism, it was the 

season of yes, it was the season of no, it was the 

spring of optimism, it was the winter of misery, we had questions 

before us, we had answers before us, we were all going to win, 

we were all going to lose...  In short, the past was so 

far like the present, that some of its noisiest authorities 

insisted on its being eradicated.  

With apologies to Charles Dickens, that was of course, the 

opening paragraph to a TALE OF TWO CITIES, horribly paraphrased 

by your own Quiz Master Lou to fit some mad scheme to make our 

pasttime more relevant that it really is.  But, I digress...  

The Rockerfellers had the juice last night, successfully 

Double-or-Nothing twice in a row right out of the gate, 

taking the lead and never looking back for a first place win 

twenty points ahead of their nearest competitor!  Deadly Alliance 

(welcome back, BTW) finished second after a rough start.  

JFFC picked up third place honors, also after a rough take 

off and the Sun Kings, that adorable duo, finished last but 

still had a good time!  

The question set was really good, too.  The Theme Round was 

QM Lou's fave, alternating questions about movies based on 

board games with conspiracy theories!  Great stuff!  The 

Find-the-Connection Round's motif of TV Doctors was aslo 

very clever.  The Hand Out Round of matching songs with the 

word "friend" in the title with their respective artists was 

good, too; But QM Lou felt You've Got a Friend by Carole King 

(James Taylor would have been an acceptable answer as well) 

should have been included.  Oh, well...  

There will be no quiz next Thursday as it is Thanksgiving.  

QM Lou wishes you all a happy holiday and will see you back 

at Dunn Brothers in two weeks.  Bye for now!

QUIZ RECAP

It was another swinging night at the Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop 

as King Trivia Pub Quiz kicked off once again.  Five teams got 

together to compete and three walked away winners.  

The Sun Kings returned for more punishment, finishing last, but 

this little duo demonstrated style and grace above and beyond 

the call of trivia.  The Jody Foster Fan Club (JFFC) started 

off great, breaking off from the pack to capture an early lead, 

but got bumped to fourth position in Round Six.  Team Finn 

maintained a steady third place throughout, proving team discipline.  

The Rockafellers surprised by failure to place until Round Six, 

when a well placed Double-or-Nothing sprung them into second 

place, where they ended the night.  The dynamic duo known as 

the Bumble Bees, knees wobbling, table sagging under the weight 

of their 50 lb. brains, finished first with two successful 

Double-or-Nothing's in the final two Rounds putting them out front 

with points to spare!  

Quiz question madness ensued.  The Picture Round of identifying 

dinos from the Jurassic Park franchise baffled and amused 

simultaneously.  Remember the Dilophosaurus?  Of course not 

because the name was obscured by association.  But you know 

it as the poison spitting lizard that got Wayne Knight's traitorous 

character of Dennis Nedry.  Well, style points went to guesses 

Lebron James and Spit-a-saurus for that one.  One wag decided 

to label the Velociraptor as Melissa.  (Hmmm...  Wouldn't want 

to meet her!)  

That's all folks!  See you next week! 

QUIZ RECAP

Five teams went in and three emerged winners in last night's 

usual Thursday King Trivia Pub Quiz held at the fun and lovely 

Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop in Plano.  

Newcomers Always Late started off with a possible third place 

win but fumbled with a badly placed Double-or-Nothing in Round 

Six shutting themselves out to last.  Registered team The Sun 

King played it straight and steady with a fourth position 

standing all through the evening.  Pickles on a Plate dropped 

the ball in the first round with an unsuccessful DoN and tripped 

right out of the gate with a zero, but managed to pull themselves 

back up for third place win!  The Jody Foster Fan Club pulled 

off a nice second place win while resident champs the Rockafellers 

took first place honors...  Again!  

Hats off to our quiz writers who gave us a nice assortment of 

subjects touching on sports, Sesame Street, foreign languages 

and air travel.  Style points were awarded for guesses of 

deperation.  2 Chainz was mistaken for Whoopie Goldberg.  

Sesame Street's HIV positive character Kami was wrongly guessed 

as Magic Johnson or The Count.  The Find-the-Connection Round's 

mystery connection was Automobile Models, but guesses ranged 

from South America to Non-Fiction to the color Red.  Go figure. 

Quiz Master Lou is happy to be back in the saddle and wishes 

all a most pleasant weekend.  Bye for now!
