QUIZ RECAP

I just bought a really bad thesaurus. It's terrible, and it's terrible!

It was another wonderful night at Golden Road Brewery and Sauna here in muggy south Florida this week! Wait a minit!! This ain't Florida! It's California - land of the "yeah, but it's a dry heat!" What's happening to the world!? (We really need to do a quiz round focusing on weather, particularly that delightful summertime visitor, Monsoon Flow!)

Though the evening air was a bit warm and sticky, the conditions seemed just right for Roberti & Friends, who successfully doubled in the 5th, 6th AND 7th rounds to win the night with an incredible 99 points! Roberti has some smart friends, apparently, and they did great, and great!! (Seriously, I gotta get a better thesaurus!)

The Donner Party Train and #squadgoals rounded out our top 3 spots in the winner's circle, with THOSE People in a close race, finishing 4th.

A word of advice: if you opt to eat in the club car of the Donner Party Train, I strongly suggest you order vegetarian. Just a thought.

See ya next week.

QUIZ RECAP

Whaddaya call a dog with magical powers?
A labracadabrador!

Wow! Now that's what we call competition! We had a two-way tie for first place last night at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale last night, and a three-way-tie for third!! Wowzers!!

The delightful quartet of Harriet & The Spies (photos 1&2 above) barely edged out one of our favorite and most formidable teams, The Bad Explainers to win the night, and the $50 gift certificate. A $35 certificate for 2nd went to the Explainers! Congratulations, kids!

In an even more fraught and hard-fought battle, Dj Roomba managed to squeak by Long Live Johnny Trinh (who definitely lives!) and I Drink and I Know Things (who definitely knew things, and was almost certainly drinking!) to take third place and $25. Honorable mention to Tesla Libre, who finished just one point shy of making it a four-way tie for third! Great job all around, you accomplished quizzers!

This humble quizmaster always takes note of funny, witty or otherwise amusing team names, and I'm a BIG fan of a well-executed portmanteau. So I just gotta give a shout out to Guantanamo Bay City Rollers for their chuckle-inducing name. And the thought of a singing group called Jango and the Fetts brought a smile to my face as well! Well done!!

We just gotta give a shout out to Mary and the Birthday Buds. Mary turned 25 last night, opted to celebrate with beer and trivia, and did pretty well. Heck, they even won the drinking round! Happy birthday, Mary. You have excellent friends!

And lastly, a big shout out to At 98 We All Rotate. Why? Because they were the youngest players in the house, were cuter than anyone else in the room (for proof, see photo #4 above) and big sister, at ten years old, was invaluable in helping her mom, Blair, identify songs in the music round.

See there! King Trivia is fun for ALL AGES! Come see for yourself. We'll be back next week. Join us!

QUIZ RECAP

If you want some of the stiffest trivia competition around, then look no further than the teams at Golden Road Brewery on a Tuesday night.  These folks take every single ounce of trivia seriously and boy do they mean it.  Double down after double down sent shockwaves through the scoresheet, nearly tearing it to threads as this humble quizmaster could hardly keep up with the flurry of points flying overhead.  So who took home the gold?  Why, it could be no one but The Bad Explainers, rocketing high into the 80s.  So who took home the drinking round?  Casually Drinking Til it's Not knew so much about Disneyland rides you'd think they were related to ol' Cryo-Walt himself.  So who sat alone at the bar by himself when his friends ditched him and continued to play anyway, undaunted by the size and amount of the teams?  Blake, that's who!  This man, in the face of such heavy competition, staggered on with courage, and he deserves a special shoutout here.  Good on you, Blake!  Good on you.
