- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
A rocky start from most, but not Tequila Mockingbirds (pictured), who took a doubledown in round 1, Pulling into the lead they would maintain the rest of the game! They were joined by East Coast/West Coast in round two, but only The Kids' Table would achieve the feat in round 3, where every other team was searching for a safe harbour to put into port. The Empire State Building, although a good vantage on its own, was hard to spot for most teams until the fourth clue. No matter, for round 5 had enough seats for everyone, although no one could figure out the clue. Round 6 had a few forlorn hopes that crashed into goose eggs, as did the final round, with the top of the podium almost settling. However, a tiebreaker between "Casual American Cannibals" (Raise your hand if you're pretty) and There's Always Next Week, was won by the former for perhaps their first Pineapple Hill Saloon Podiuming! Congrats, Cannibals!

With many surely nursing hangovers earned burying 2018 in a shallow, unmarked grave, 5 teams met to duke it out for 3 prizes. Running with Caesars earns an honorable mention for being the only team of regulars to make a showing at the first game of our new year!
Relsey and Kose doubled down in the first round with an epic display of confidence, and maintained the lead for quite a while, as every team had middling rounds for the next few. down into round 6, folks really started buckling down and making some of that sweet, sweet double-down magic. It launched the Blue Barracudas from first place, to a COMMANDING first place, but You Can't Sit with us remained in striking distance. Identical scores in Round 7 kept the top of the scoresheet the same, but a tiebreaker between Running with Caesars and Relsey and Kose left the former knocked out of prize contention, left only with their own graciousness and congratulations for their competitors.

It's the Last Tuesday Trivia of the year here at Pineapple Hill Saloon, and the turnout was marked with frivolity and cheer (those are different things, right?). A few folks were able to successfully double in round 1, but one mis-identified colour of Kwanzaa dashed the hopes of a few more than a few. No one chanced a double down after that until round 5, the sting of early defeat bitter and cold as a winter night of somewhere that isn't beautiful and sunny So Cal.
Teams mostly middled in rounds 2 to 4, with Snoopy's varied resume throwing curveballs until the third or fourth clue. Round 5 was a bit tricky, but a few teams were able to discern the theme and Running with Caesars, the most regular of regulars, were able to nearly double their score with a successful double-down, although they were outpaced by long-time players Free-Smoke and Pineapple Croquemdouches, who would lead the pack to the end, followed by a triumphant Quiz Kid Donnie Smith in Third Place!
Happy Holidays and a Pleasant New Year, Pineapples. See you on the other side of the 31st!
