QUIZ RECAP

Hello. Quiz Master Lou here, bringing you the latest King Trivia Pub Quiz news
that fits the scene. Despite a massive traffic jam on US 75 and late arrivals,
we carried off our usual Tuesday night revels with aplomb and even a birthday!
Happy 82nd to Wossa Matta-U team alumni Tom Thurmond, whose thoughtful son
provided enough cupcakes for the entire pub! Killarney's never had it so good!

Our Round Two Picture round consisting of identifying natural wonders from
around the world yielded fairly mixed results and some good fails. It must've
been a special brain itch for the team that couldn't remember Kilimanjaro's
name and just put down Mount Africa!

An English teacher pointed out that the "Y" in Fluffy counts as a vowel, but
went ahead and conceded to the Theme Round's I know "U" anyway without filing
a complaint with the A.G.'s office. We got some great folks down here in Texas!

QM Lou managed to pin Audrey Hepburn on the 8 point clue of the Guess Who Round
(when he did his test run) and so did One Left in the Chamber and Pickles on a
Plate. All other teams got it on subsequent clues, except for Binge Thinking,
who blew it on the Ten pointer by impulsively going with Julie Andrews. (By the
way, QM Lou's fave A.H. movie is Charade!)

All in all, another great question set! Blood, Bath & Beyond captured the gold
while Pickles snagged second and Binge got third. That's all the news that fits!
And it's time to drag out that old radio standard and broadcaster's favorite
traffic report bumper, Traffic Jam by James Taylor. YouTube it!

QUIZ RECAP

"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a
new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal."

~ Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863

This was a question on the King Trivia Pub Quiz last night at Killarney's. Quiz
Master Lou, daring to be different, thought it appropriate to open this week's
column with the complete opening statement. It is a profound thought with which
to have a discussion, for it not only puts us where we were, but where we are and
where we are going. Have some coffee and a danish/bagel and discuss!

Speaking of liberty, kudos to Seal Team 3 for their long awaited and well deserved
first place win! Yay! Well done! Irish Whiskey-pedia slid into second while
Tequila Mockingbird stole third from Pickles on a Plate. Oh, the ignominy! A
big welcome to newbies It's Always Sunny in Fairview, who gave their all with
the best of us. We hope to see them back next week.

In the worst answers but the best failures department, those who couldn't identify
Alfie Allen may have recognized him from Game of Thrones and decided he was the
Gilbert Gottfried of the medieval fantasy set. Likewise Jessie J who got tagged
as Minnie Mouse. (Hey, she could have got worse!) And of course, the naming of
Elements on the Periodic Table with a particular set of values is always fun and
fascinating. While Tacos, Wine and Dr. Pepper didn't score points, they certainly
scored laughs.

That's the news!
Stay amused!
Don't you go and get abused!

Quiz Master Lou, signing off...

QUIZ RECAP

Dateline: September 17th, 2019. Killarney's Live in Fairview, TX!

A fun time was had by all with a fun set of questions served with an extra side
of fun sauce! Rounds one and two seemed to have the most fun as most of the teams
Doubled-or-Nothing'd. Pickles on a Plate doubled twice in a row successfully in
that time, established the lead and held onto it until the very end making them
the winners! Fun stuff!

Round Three's "Pet" theme threw a few for a loop and allowed Quiz Master Lou to
warble a couple of lines of the Beach Boys' Wouldn't It Be Nice at answer time
and that was fun. Round Four's Guess Where did its usual deception cluing and
lured a couple of teams into the "Hold my beer!" trap, but a few correctly got
it and changed the ranking a bit. Find-the-Connection's most fun moment occurred
when one team earned some style points by incorrectly identifying Get Shorty as
Kill Smootchie. That put the fun in funny.

QM Lou had a bit of fun channeling Richard Dawson as we embarked on play testing
the Survey Slam. Our survey says you have to have drinks for a drinking round...
Irish Whiskey-pedia somehow knew the answer to question six on that one and won.
They also wound up in third place at the end of the night. Funny Money (see how
I worked the fun into that?) and top music tours rounded off the fun night.

One Left in the Chamber took home second place honors while the return of team
I P**ped my Pants afforded Quiz Master Lou even more fun coming up with alternate
names for his conceptually obscene moniker. Ahhh... I had so much fun I'm all
funned out. I'm now going home to listen to Beethoven's 7th Symphony - Second
movement to equalize my psyche. Whew!

Have a great rest of the week everyone, and take it easy on the fun!
