QUIZ RECAP

Chilly town, autumn in Culver City

Back of my neck getting not at all gritty.

Cool cat looking for a kitty.

Or better yet a pizza at Rocco's Tavern.

Eat your hearts out, Lovin' Spoonful.

Many pizzas were had by our King Trivia contestants tonight. Many double downs were achieved in Round 1. Things got tighter after that, as Round 1 was the only time any team achieved a perfect score.

Hugh Jazz and All Star Shrek were never more than 3 points apart the entire game. 3 Idiots joined them for a photo finish after a strong Round 7. The game ended with the top three teams scoring 47, 46, and 45, respectively. That's also how many Rocco's Tavern pizzas I pan to eat in December, January, and February, respectively.

No need to worry about my health. I'll be sharing the pizzas with Lovin' Spoonful bass player Steve Boone.

My general medicine physician, Dr. Capt. Morgan, says alcohol is good for you. No one would agree more than Impeachment & Cream. They scored 20 points on the booze awareness round on the way to victory.

My cardiologist, Dr. Lionel Richie, is very proud of Boardwalk 11 for recognizing him on the eight-point clue in the Guess Who round on a night during which more than half the teams required the two-point clue to get the correct answer.

And my ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. Hawkeye Pierce (not the one from M*A*S*H), has asked me to apologize to All-Star Shrek for being the team sitting closest to me when I attempted to pronounce the Welsh village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. Next time I will bring umbrellas.

Tonight's game reminds me of the great Harry Caray's exclamation "I'm gonna drink 18 Buds during the fifth inning!"

Hang on. That's not the right one. I'll try that again.

Tonight's game reminds me of the great Harry Caray's exclamation "Holy cow!" This is the first game I've seen in which every team had a chance to win going into Round 7. A couple of misplayed final round doubles paired with Fuck, I Don't Know's expansive knowledge of what we Americans call "the sports" led to an exciting finish.
