- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The night may have been somber and reflective, but what better way to pass the evening with good friends, doing what one loves?
9 teams came together for some trivial passtime. The first round went rather well for everyone, with newcomers "America's Team" Doubling down successfully. But the Double-the-points-of-their-next-challenger would be shortlived as a round two goose egg allowed most everyone else to catch up or surpass.
Round 3 settled like a perfect bell curve, but Gerald Ford gave everyone a run for their money as all but two teams waited for the last two clues.
Round 5 was a bit difficult for most teams to connect, but those who were able to rise above were rewarded and "the kids table" began to pull away from the middle of the pack. Successful double-downs in round 6 sealed the victory of the top 3, but it came down to points in the end, with second and third butting up against one another.

As the Dodgers took the Mets out for a nice game, our Trivia goers were not going to be left out in the cold. They flocked to Pineapple Hill for their weekly Seven Rounds of Trivia Glory, and suffice it to say, they got what they came for!
Things started with a rather wide spread all over the score possibilities, with the Oxymorons returning after a hot summer and leading the pack. They continued to stay near the top the next three rounds, even as last week's champions Tequila Mockingbirds fell victim to some rather insidious traps, however patriotic they may be.
Round 4 had almost everyone feeling good with their guesses, while round 5 had a few teams blue in the face trying to figure out what the darn connection was. The point totals so far were close as to think it was anyone's game, but then out of left-field, "Mike Met a Stripper Named Tammy" landed the only successful double-down in round 6, nearly doubling their points and launching them into the lead.
Round 7 Tested Baseball Knowledge as teams desperate to salvage their chances risked it all for a chance to over come that proved fruitless as the leaders prevailed led by "Mike Met a Stripper Named Tammy".

A fun little night here at the Pineapple Saloon! We had a blast in round 1 with General Knowledge, always ordering everyone around, even the turtles.
Round 2 had a few laughs when we just didn't know enough Nancies, but round 3 Rocked! Chris rock, that is. Round 4 was a headscratcher for a while until we all realized that Neve Campbell was Canadian.
It was about this time we all realized that "Running with Caesars" and "Tequila Mockingbirds" and "There's always next week" had been neck and neck (and Neck)! We were pretty much all able to "name" the correct answers in round 5. TANW and the Mockingbirds succesfully double-downed, pulling farther afield, but what would happen next?Neither of them attempted the feat in Round 6, which left us unsure which mountains are which, and this time it was Caesar's turn to double. This made for an incredibly tense entrance into Round 7, which tested everyone's knowledge of NHL teams, so it was over....well, rather quickly... but not before Tequila Mockingbirds pulled away with the only successful double down in the final round-securing the Stainly Koep, a coveted trophy only awarded to the champions on the last trivia Tuesday in August of an even numbered year below a waning moon in a fruit-themed saloon. They celebrated raucously and well deserved, spreading their 99 points to the masses that poured into the streets to congratulate their heroes (pictured).
