QUIZ RECAP

A big crowd of enthusiastic quizzers filled the sideyard patio with passion and intensity this week at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale.

Fartin' Scorsese won the night going way with an incredible score of 94! But out second place team added a special sheen to their 80-point finish by turning the night into a birthday celebration for one of their own, Danny! In fact, their team name announced that it was his birthday, though that's pretty much all the info we got.

When asked how old he was, if he was a native Californian and what his last name is, "Danny" declined to answer.

"There are people looking for me right now," he said. "My life could be in danger if certain people knew I was here. I'm trying to keep a low profile. Don't take my picture!"

I'm not gonna tell you which photo Danny is in, in the collection from this week's show. But he's there, and he doesn't want you to know it!

See ya next week!

SITCOMS TRIVIA RECAP

Now this is a story all about how this trivia game got through like 7 rounds, and I'd like to take a moment, just sit there and hold, and I'll tell you how Schlemiel Schlimazel won the night at Golden Road.

Now the game didn't move to the beat of just one drum. What questions were easy to you, might not have been easy to some. The drinking round was about the Simpsons, and Jeremy Beremy Baby won. Everybody's got a special kind of knowledge. Everybody found a way to shine! It didn't matter that a few teams' points were not a lot-- so what? They had fun, and they had beer, and they had wine! And in the end, they felt fine!

Thank you for being a trivia contestant! Traveled to Golden Road, and back again! Your game was good! You're a competitor that's confident. And when you thought you were smarty-- you told everyone you knew. And you did see, that hard studying was the key, and the hardest part was the round at the ennnnnnnnd.

And those are the facts of this trivia game.
