A huge turn out at Killarney's last night kept the place rockin' while the quiz
teams were hoppin' as we headed into our last quarter slice of July. Quiz Master
Lou had a Twilight Zone moment last night when a newbie team registered their
name and handed in their first round quiz page. Adding them to the roster, QM
Lou looked down and noted the moniker "Scott's Tots". But, there's a Scott's
Tots over at the Lion & Crown. Are you guys related? Where's the tall girl
that usually leads that team? Blank stares. They didn't know what the H E
double hockey sticks QM Lou was talking about. (Cue the weird music sting as
Vera Miles sees her doppelganger grab her suitcase in the bathroom mirror of a
lonely bus stop on a rainy night!) What?!? There's another Scott's Tots? Why,
how cosmically coinky dinky is that? I mean, come on. Scott's Tots?!? What
are the odds? Why? What does it mean?!? SOMEBODY TELL ME!!! (And that's
when Jimmy Stewart dashed out into the snowy night, stopped right in front of
the camera and slowly, strangely, gazed left to right as his sanity began to
slip...)

But, I digress... The astounding, piratical Ship It! (along with Blood, Bath
& Beyond) pulled off a dramatic win in Round Seven with a Double-or-Nothing
that allowed them to jump the queue and displace front runners Dallas Boolers
Club, pushing that team into second place. Seal Team 3 garnered a well deserved
third. Best answers of desperation came in the Picture round as baby boomer
teams surrendered to the moment by creating their own, flip names for video
games known by their symbols...

Halo - Marketing Company Revenue
Gears of War - Death Becomes Her
Assassins' Creed - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
World of Warcraft - Spermazoid
The Sims - Stupid Diamond
Fallout - Wink of Death
Portal - Aperture of Death

QM Lou signing off. Love ya til Tuesday!

If there was any one thing that stood out in last night's KTPQ at Killarney's, it
was the punny wordplay. It was puny. (See what I did there?) Actually, it was
quite clever in the instances it mattered. For example, Round Six's title of
"I Just Can't Wait to be SpeaKing", matching Lion King characters to their voice
over actors, was especially clever. As to yet another repackaged version of TLK
after a successful (and some might say classic) animated film and then a Broadway
musical, plus all the ancillary toys, games, T-Shirts, etc.... One might say that
Disney has gone to the well too many times. But, let's not go there. (Too, late!)

Another gem was the Round Seven's "Americans at Risk", naming the North American
Territories on a standard Risk game board. Pure genius on their part! Gosh, that
brings back memories of playing Risk with your friends. And how that one kid was
always the winner, knocking off opponents one at a time, forcing the others to
follow suit, causing alliances and betrayals... Just like in the real world of
political world domination! Come to think of it, Monopoly is just like that, too!
Hey... I'm starting to get a tin foil hat feeling about Parker Brothers...

Welcome to newbie teams Get in Where You Fit In, the Kellyanos and Irish Whiskey-
pedia (great name). One Left in the Chamber clawed their way to first place as
Wossa Matta-U leap frogged over the Dallas Booler's Club for second. That action
positioned the IFFY!/Blood, Bath & Beyond alliance to beat out the Poonswagglers
for third. And Tequila Mocking Bird... Just because.

Quiz Master Lou says have a great week!

Wow! Killarney's really packed 'em in last night as we commenced yet another wild
and wooly evening of King Trivia Pub Quiz! Twelve teams consisting of nine regs
and three newbies set things off. Welcome to No Ragrets (a tattoo from a movie),
Counter Culture Ladies and their husbands, The Winners! (Who ended up in fourth
place, just outside the winner's circle. Ironic, yes? I tried to warn 'em...)

Tequila Mockingbird proved once again why Quiz Master Lou has dubbed them the
resident champs with another, consecutive win in first place. The Dallas Boolers
Club (what the h3ll is a Booler, anyway?!?) leaped dramatically into second with
an eleventh hour Double-or-Nothing while Pickles on a Plate, who had been leading
steadily from Round One got shouldered mercilessly into third. Man! What a race!

In the style points categories, the picture round inspired some wag to identify
Kitty Cat the Simba from the Addams Family as "You ain't lion". Elvis the Alligator
from Miami Vice got the lion's share of wrong guesses as Crocodile Hunter. (See
what I did there?) On our theme round of clever Hawaiian minutiae, instead of
Rainbow Warriors for the name of their university athletic teams, one team came
up with the name of a body part that is the alliterative noun following pineapple!
In round five, unable to produce Stephen Root but finding the connection, they
tried to grow Joe Mulch. But the best answers of desperation came in round seven
when the exact names of the Terminator sequels eluded most folks. We got...

Twins
Gunfight at the OK Corral
I Just Met a Girl Named Maria
Terminator: Revolution (An interesting mash-up, yes?)

That's it for the Tuesday wrap up. Have a great week!
