QUIZ RECAP

My, oh my!  What a chariot race we had at Dunn Brothers Coffee 

Shop last night!  Five teams all bolted from the gates like 

Ben-Hur and Masala!  The action was constant too.  It started 

off with a four way tie, narrowed to a two way, the lead kept 

passing hands and everybody was trying to avoid the chariot 

with the Thracian wheels!  

High action, high drama and high scores permeated the lovely 

sunset atmosphere of the patio setting punctuated only by the 

sounds of the nearby President George Bush Turnpike, Quiz Master 

Lou's Playlist and of course King Trivia Pub Quiz questions! 

It was really great to see the Bumble Bees.  They finally made it 

over to DB's and fared fairly well, taking an early lead but sliding 

back to fifth place in the heated closing round.  Jodie Foster 

Fan Club returned and provided a mirror opposite performance, 

starting off low but ending high.  (JFFC, register your team1  

That two point bonus would have tied you for third place!  Take

QM Lou's advice!)  Pickles on a Plate won third place (by two 

points!).  Deadly Alliance snagged second place while the 

Rockefellers took first.  Statistic wise, QM Lou saw something 

unprecedented in his experience.  A total of fourteen Double-

or-Nothing's were offered with ten of them going off successfully!  

That's a 71% success rate, an unheard of average when DoN is 

employed!  

This week's question set was another winner if a bit heavy on 

the pop culture, but hey...  Double-or-Nothing's, right? This 

week's mirth award goes to the team that misidentified Rainbow 

Dash (the My Little Pony) for Rainbow Brite (the little girl 

who wears rainbow colors and rides a white steed.)  

That's all the news that fits.  Have a lovely weekend! 

QUIZ RECAP

"Thirty days hath September" begins the poem that teaches us how 

many days are in each month and it was on that thirtieth day 

that Dunn Brothers Coffee Shop hosted its second successful 

King Trivia Pub Quiz!  Seven teams consisting of twenty-four 

players threw down the gauntlet and jousted in the lists for 

the opportunity to win some free stuff from behind the java 

counter.  

Newbie Teams T.J., Jodie Foster Fan Club and That Is A Very 

Good Question (henceforth known as TIAVGQ) had some fun and 

learned about the rigors of pub quizzing.  Veteran players 

Team Finn, Pickles on a Plate, Rockafellers and Deadly Alliance 

acted as mentors demonstrating both aplomb and Noblesse oblige 

during the proceedings while simultaneously gobbling up the 

higher scores.  Pickles won third place, Rockafellers got second 

and the Deadly Alliance snapped up first place with a daring 

Double-or-Nothing leap on the Round Five Find-the-Connection 

round, getting all ten questions correct including making the 

"connection"!  Great stuff!  

Hats off once more to our quiz writers who provided us with 

some distinct subjects and assorted querries.  This produced 

some amusing responses to which Quiz Master Lou just had to 

award some meaningless style points.  The Picture Round this 

week required identifying the actual (Judge Judy) or fictional 

(Judge Dredd) judge.  Nobody knew who Judge Mills Lane was from 

his picture as a referee in the boxing ring so the guesses ranged 

from Ernie Pechco (?) to Celebrity Death Match Judge.  Brit 

actor Hugh Laurie got identified as Harvey Styles (whoever that 

is) while Susan Lucci got pegged as Trixie Mattel (WTH?!?) 

Finally, QM Lou won the "My Joke Fell Flat Award" when observing 

that the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission 

is that fusion's by product is helium while fission produces 

bass or trout.  (Silence)  Bass or trout?  (Crickets)  

That's all I've got.  Have a great weekend!  QM Lou signing off...  

QUIZ RECAP

Hello and Hi again!  Quiz Master Lou is reporting yet once 

again and is most happy to tell you that King Trivia Pub Quiz 

has added a brand new venue to its ranks!  I'm talking about 

Dunn Brothers Coffee in Plano, just a stone's throw away from 

the big fitness center with the gi-normous climbing wall in 

the lobby.  (But don't actually throw any stones.  Glass, ya 

know...)  

While Dunn Brothers is a coffee shop, they also serve beer and 

wine, as well as a very nice selection of ciders.  (QM Lou 

had a couple of very tasty Crackberry's!)  Their sandwiches 

looked pretty good, too!  

Being the inaugrual quiz at Dunn Bros, we were very pleased 

with the turnout.  Nine teams competed out on the patio in the 

most conducive weather I think I've ever experienced.  A warm 

and heartfelt thanks to three verteran quiz teams that followed 

me over from the old place!  (You know who you are. [insert 

Heart Emoticon]

Quiz Kalifa and Just Here for the Beer finished last amongst 

the newbies.  Just Here for the Beer left early, possibly 

because they finished their beers...  Deadly Alliance, Mavericks 

and My Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem filled out the middle 

of the rakings.  Rockafellers trailed Pickles on a Plate all 

evening until they overtook them in Round Six to snatch First 

Place with a one point gap!  As befits such a momentous event 

on an opening night, there was a Tie for third place between 

Meow Mix and Team Finn, with the latter winning the tie breaker!  

Drama, drama, drama, but the good kind.  

Style points were awarded copiously as well.  Identifying 

Sophia Loren for Elizabeth Taylor can be understandable?  The 

Beatles' Apple Record label was mistook for Tangerine Records, 

which upon research, QM Lou discovered was Ray Charles'.  

Might have been the question of the week that set that off. 

And how you get the Lincoln Tunnel instead of the Khyber Pass 

is a mystery to me!  Speaking of mysteries, Witchy Poo was not 

a member of the Scooby Gang!  

That's all I got.  Have a great weekend and hope to see you at next 

week's quiz!
