It’s Dr. Seuss’s birthday and tonight was a hoot!
We had a ton of fun and 10 teams to boot.
The pacific northwest didn’t know much about Whoopi,
But when it came to music, we had plenty of groupies.
The Star Wars/Trek mixup is a nerd’s Faux Pas,
And SAT words can be a fatal flaw…
But everybody knows the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
and his silly cousin with the dance and the hair.
Pizza is a favorite and so is tequila,
If you say it isn’t, I wouldn’t believe ya!
The winning team had the same name as my dog,
Which was a great trivia game epilogue!
Happy Birthday to you, Dr. Seuss,
I hope this rhyme wasn’t too obtuse!

This may have been our best showing yet!! We had 10 total teams and more players than seats.
For me, tonight was a crossover episode. Monday nights are my karaoke night, and my karaoke crew, including our karaoke host, came to trivia tonight! The roles were reversed with me up on the mic and it was super fun to be reminded of the camaraderie that makes me question why the phrase “Seattle Freeze” even exists.
Some of my favorite answers of the evening included a team answering “Barney” on the dinosaur question, and team Tummycouch mixing up Michael Cage and Nicolas Cage. Who is Michael Cage? No one knows. Also - as it turns out, Beethoven’s first name was not “Neil”.
The Guess Who question this week was a tough one - but we just so happen to be located in Seattle, where Bird played her entire professional career! So the locals knew what was up.
The questions *were* particularly tough ones this evening, but it gave those with niche intelligence a time to shine, and those without a time to come up with some funny answers.
The find the connection round was a tuffy as well, and I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that Team Gorgonzola put that the “connection” between all their answers was that “they were all wrong.”
Also, as it turns out, Beethoven’s first name was not “Neil”!
All in all, great night!

Another great night at King Leroy! The bar was completely packed and everyone was on their A-game. Quite a few league teams were here this evening as well as our loyal regulars, Clarkies, who were “et. al” this evening as they had some new players joining.
That science round was a trip! I was honored that a team thought Oppenheimer was a woman as I personally like to think of women as very capable of mass destruction. And another team confused Tesla and George Washington Carver which was a curious choice to say the least.
The MCU question was the absolute perfect final question for this crowd. As we are situated on the Amazon campus, they are a group of self-proclaimed nerds.
Another amazing night on the books for King Trivia at King Leroy with the Trivia Queen (me)!
