It was a great night at Pickwick's! Thank you for making my first show there a fun one!

It was a close battle until the end, where a courageous double down had Hanky Panky take the win.

The Mighty Mighty Puffins, played it a bit safe in Round 6, getting a 10 spot, but no double, which would have netted them the win.

Finally, Bass to Mouth duo took down third place with steady play throughout.

Diversity Poster wins the best handwriting award, sadly, in the winning department, they settled for 4th.

Solo squad Bing Bong had some nice rounds, but not enough, as he left in 6th behind The Wingnuts.

Classic Irish Jewish Car was way too hard on themselves, but hung around for the whole show. Go get 'em next time!

Phew! This past Wednesday night at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia was a smashing success! Featuring a skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and a Drinking Round with Fruit by the Foot fruit roll-ups, Wednesday night had it all! If you weren't there, this is what you missed!

"Wait, what was that you said about a Monty Python and the Holy Grail skit?" Well thanks for asking! I'll tell you all about it. For round number 3, the category was Land O' Lakes, where the question or answer may have the word lake in it. So for question 2 of Round number 2, King Trivia asked: "In Arthurian Legend, which enchantress gives the sword Excalibur to Arthur?" This question gave Quizmaster Danny the perfect opportunity to act out the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where King Arthur meets peasants and is trying to explain how he received Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake which gave him Divine right to be King. The quotes from the movie that were acted out in the skit are in a picture above!

For the Drinking Round, each team had to send up a member to compete in the Fruit by the Foot Challenge. This challenge, if you're not familiar, is to put the end of an unrolled Fruit by the Foot in your mouth, and without using hands, try and be the fastest one to eat it all. You can view a Youtube video of Wednesday nights Fruit by the Foot Challenge Drinking Round here: https://youtu.be/lcMJVMUrOAI

Congrats to Diversity Poster for winning the Drinking Round, and congrats to them as well for taking home the second place prize for the evening! Not only did they win a round of shots from the Drinking Round, but they scored 62 points and took home a $20 gift certificate as well! Now that's a pretty good night if you ask me!

For third place, we had two teams score 59 points, Mighty Mighty Puffins, and Alternative Facts! You know what that means, you're damn right, a Tiebreaker Question! Both teams had to send up one member to try and guess the closest to the number of feet deep Crater Lake is. Without hearing each other's answers, the Puffins guessed 5000 feet, and Alternative Facts guessed 5001 feet. The correct answer was 1,949 feet, which secured 3rd place and a $10 gift certificate for The Mighty Mighty Puffins! Congrats and welcome back Puffins!

And coming in 1st place, scoring 70 points and taking home a $30 gift certificate, was Hanky Panky! They successfully doubled down in rounds 6 and 7 to come from behind and win 1st! Awesome job! What a clutch performance!

See how much you miss when you don't come to Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills on Wednesday nights for King Trivia?! Well don't worry, there's always next Wednesday night and every other for your chance at a fun time like this! See you next time!

What a Wednesday! It was like a reunion at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia, as Einstein's Dick made an unannounced return to King Trivia for at least one night! Einstein's Dick is a team that has been playing at Pickwick's Pub for almost a decade, but during that decade, many had kids, or had more kids, some have moved away, some got married, and time has taken it's toll, and Einstein's Dick hasn't been seen at Pickwick's in a while! But Wednesday they made a trimphant return!

And what a return it was! They scored 70 points in an epic comeback! That score was good enough to get them 2nd place and a $20 gift certificate! Awesome job guys! It was great to see all of you again! I missed ya!

For the Drinking Round, teams had to send up one player each to play a game of paper football. Each team was given two tries to kick a field goal with a paper football. Only one team was able to kick one through, and that was team K & A, who won themselves a round of shots! Way to go you two!

Finally, in 1st place, scoring 72 points to just rain on Einstein's Dick's parade, and winners of the $30 gift certificate, was team Alternative Facts! They doubled correctly on rounds 1, and 2, and that was enough to give them a comfortable enough cushion to last them through the rest of the game! Way to go Alternative Facts!

And that wraps it up on King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! I'll see you next Wednesday night for some more King Trivia! Bring your friends!!!

Dueces!
