- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
There was a great turnout the Tuesday of Thanksigivng week at Pineapple Hill! There were a few regulars, some visiting teams, and a handful of new players.
Tequila Mockingbirds and Puppy Pals Forever started off round 1 strong with successful doubles.
There were 3 unsuccessful doubles in Round 2, keeping Tequila and Puppy Pals in the lead.
Puppy Pals Forever made their big move in round 3 with a successful double, putting them ahead of the 2nd place team by 6 points. Crystal Methodists finally doubled successfully, bringing them into the game.
One question in round 5 stumped a handful of teams, but not Puppy Pals Forever who doubled successfully yet again.
For the drinking round, teams had a minute and half to come up with as many words as they could from the word "Thanksgiving". The winning team was Three's Company (usually called The Curtis Granderson Experience) with an impressive 34 words.
Round 6, Tequila tried to double and catch up but were unsuccessful.
Going into the final round, Puppy Pals Forever was far ahead, followed by Tequila Mockingbirds and No Reservations.

The competition is fiercer than ever now that League Tickets are on sale. Many teams played, but only a lucky few won on Tuesday night.
Round 1 started off strong for There's Always Next Week and The Curtis Granderson Experience. Both doubled, but TANW was in the lead because of those two extra league points.
Round 2 saw doubles from Tequila Mockingbirds and There's Always Next Week. Whiskey a Do Do doubled when they should not have, putting them in last place.
In Round 3, Whiskey a Do Do made up for the previous round with the only successful double. They also guessed "Kenneth Branaugh" on the 10 point clue in Round 4, along with There's Always Next Week.
Tequila Mockingbirds were the only team to successfully double Round 5, bringing them ahead of TANW by a hair. They also further secured their lead in round 6 by getting all the answers correct. The Curtis Granderson Experience also should've doubled, but didn't.
Lastly, in the final round that was all about areas of the brain and stomach, most teams were completely stumped (I received some very clever responses to the questions) but Kid's Table shown with an impressive 7 out of 8 answers correct, security their third place win.
TANW stayed solid in second place, and Tequila Mockingbirds won the night in first. Check out their lovely "stomach" themed photo above.

Now that things are back to normal again at Pineapple Hill, I was able to do my fun intro again where I list off the teams and they cheer for each other. I find it really amps up the excitement for the game!
In Round 1, a whopping 10 teams doubled successfully, all tied for first place.
Round 2 saw a little more division, with Curtis Granderson Experience, Oxymorons, and There's Always Next Week taking the lead by 1 point each.
In Round 3, Tequila Mockingbirds and BSFV All Stars were the only teams to double (though 7 teams should have doubled), putting them both tied for first place.
In Round 4, Oxymorons and Ovaltine Jenkins were the only 2 teams to get it on the 10 point clue.
In Round 5, successful doubles went to The Kid's Table, Tequila Mockingbirds, Ovaltine Jenkins, and There's Always Next Week. BSFV All Stars lost their lead by not doubling.
For the drinking round, we had the first King Trivia Pineapple Hill Spelling Bee! Flibbertiggibbet knocked out about half of the teams. Some other words were pasteurization, calisthenics, liaison, pterodactyl, viscera, and ecclesiasticism. The teams did well for spelling the 2017 adult spelling bee words! Running with Caesars ended up winning the drinking round!
Round 6 was a difficult round for most teams, some of which got less than 5 points. But Tequila Mockingbirds were pretty strong and held onto their 6 point lead.
It was still a close game going into the final round. Last week's champs Ovaltine Jenkins missed placing by just 1 point. Third place went to the consistent Kid's Table. Second place went to There's Always Next Week. And first place went to, be a mere 4 points, Tequila Mockingbirds.
It was a really close game and all teams did well!
PS - make sure you check out the WW2 themed "platoon" photo the winners did.
