QUIZ RECAP

A festive, fun night at little bar as the Christmas lights were strung up all around making for a cozy trivia night challenge. As players drank from their heavily spiked hot chocolates, questions were thrown about and answers were recorded. A more difficult trivia game this evening but one that left many with a real shot at claiming one of our three top spots. Teams also prevailed at our drinking round challenge: a true or false about Christmas. Look at us, getting into the holiday season! Stockings may be hung with care around the bar but only three of our competitors were going to get theirs stuffed with goodies. While it was a neck and neck and neck race for 2nd, and 3rd, special recognition must be given to our first place team: Wait, This Isn't Speed Dating? Some well placed doubles, some smart non doubling and a healthy wealth of information about Idina Menzel helped to catapult them away from the rest of the competitors and place them right on Santa's Nice List to take home the main prize.

Emily Spinach proved to be a popular talking point at trivia tonight as players debated over the oddity that is Roosevelt's daughter not only having a pet garter snake (odd to think that one of them might have been slithering along the White House lawn and now one of them sits in the Oval Office!) and also naming it such a very very specific name. Was she a vegetable fan? Did she name her Spinach because she was green? Did she hate vegetables and thus loathe her pet? So many questions, no good answers.

Our players had pretty significant luck throughout the rest of the evening though, blowing past the Double or Nothing Round with mostly flying colors. Some teams held off on doubling because they weren't aware that black boxes were actually orange (don't sweat it, I didn't know that either) and as we careened into the final round, things didn't get any better for anyone without a few extra points to spare. Tell me, in what world does Crazy Stupid Love not crack a Steve Carrell Top 10? You've got Emma Stone at the height of her popularity, a shirtless and ab-filled Ryan Gosling, Steve Carrell in Dad shoes and a Dirty Dancing moment! Come on, people. But no, clearly everyone paid their hard earned money to go see Over the Hedge. We need to do better, America. This is why we have Emily Spinach in charge.

For the second week in a row, the bar they call "Little" drew an enormous crowd for trivia night. As everyone returned from their respective Thanksgiving outings, the only thing people were looking to feast upon was the pursuit of knowledge. And liquor. Maybe a little of both. Like a 40-60 ratio.

There were a fun array of questions, the most notable being the final round, which asked eager trivia players to name the 10 most used balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was slightly disappointing to learn that Ronald McDonald led the way with 24 appearances, once again proving that the only thing that can stop Spider-Man, is The Man. Man.

It was a confident crowd that saw multiple rounds of teams doubling down. This proved to be an effective strategy for the teams that won, and an even more effective strategy for the teams that lost. In a close final decision, O'Trivia Newton John came in third with 62 points, It's All Coming Back To Me Now finished second with 64 points, and Suck It Trebek placed first with 66 points. However, at one point a T-Pain song played and then was followed by the Pokemon theme song, so weren't we all winners?

Until next time.
