QUIZ RECAP

How's this for a success story? Golden Toad emerged triumphant at Golden Road Brewery this week with a winning effort that afforded them THIRD PLACE honors, after finishing in the middle of the pack just one week ago! How'd they do it? They brought in a couple of additional, big-brained team members, that's how! (And you could do that too! Quick, start scanning your list of friends for the ones with the big brains!)

But that's not the only example of scoreboard jumping going on this week. After a 5th place finish last week, Perfect Strangers dug deep and elevated themselves into the #2 spot. And last week's #3 - Dung on the Stubble - became this week's #1 with a fine, 79-point performance.

Honorable mention, and a tip-of-the hat, goes out to The Los Feliz Boy's Choir and Pennywise, Pound Foolish for their excellent 75-poin performances that left them just one point shy of the winner's circle! Take heart, my friends. As recent scoreboards clearly demonstrate, going from fourth to first can happen at any time! You can do it! Yes you can!!

See y'all next week.

QUIZ RECAP

There is no place quite like the side yard patio at Golden Road Brewery on a deliciously balmy Tuesday night. That's where some of the most raucous, out-of-control, enthusiastic quizinators gather each week to test their mettle against the toughest competition in all of Trivia Nation.

And thus it was again this week, as 21 teams - pens and answer sheets at the ready - engaged in trivia battle. When the dust settled and the scores were tallied, there was a 70+ point spread from top to bottom, with Chicken Poodle Soup leading all scorers with an impressive 94! Wowza!!

But our heart feels the pain of Shark Bait, a tough and effective band of shark hunters who managed to rack up an impressive 83, just one point shy of the winner's circle! OH, that's gotta hurt like a bite from a Great White...well, you know.

Yes, it's always a great time on Golden Road's patio. Come and see for yourself! We'll be back next week.

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

As I've said many times, I do love me some clever team names, and leave it to our wonderful quizinators at Golden Road Brewery to once again offer up team names that are both clever and literate. A tip of the quizmaster's hat to Look Upon Your Answers and Despair! a name that channels the deep undercurrents of classic poetry with the intensity of trivia quiz competitiveness!

And a second hat tip to There is No Eye in Cyclops because - I mean, come ON! - who doesn't love clever word play!? No eye in cyclops! Oh man, that's funny! (All this hat tipping has made me realize that there is no official King Trivia Quizmaster Hat! This seems like an egregious oversite! I'll have to mention this to the folks down at headquarters!)

In the meantime, we all know that King Trivia offers the hottest games in town, right!? But have you heard the latest news? We've just launched an entirely new game called Survey Slam that is already attracting lots of enthusiastic attention.

You might wanna should check it out, because you KNOW that King Trivia is definitely the leading source live pub entertainment anywhere, right? RIGHT! See ya next week.
