QUIZ RECAP

It was a very tight competition for most of the night. Uncharacteristically, Toasted Buns started off in last place...and though they soon rebounded to take the lead, a couple of missteps had them ultimately tied for 2nd place with Los Osos Locos(who won the tiebreaker). My Other Car Is A Trivia Team, who was flying solo most of the evening, took the lead in round 4 and held onto it to the end for the victory.

Now that we're in the "Endgame" for Game of Thrones(see what I did there?), for the drinking round everyone was asked to give their best/wildest theories as to how that series would end. Here they are:

• Danaerys kills Jon to take the Iron Throne. Then dragons turn on her, kill everyone & Westeros becomes Dragon Land.
• Aliens invade, run into Jon Snow. "Ah, you must be Ned Stark's bastard." Then they reveal that Sam was the rightful king all along. The end!
• Danaerys wins. #thefutureisfemale
• Jon Snow, Aegon Targaryen, united the 7 Kingdoms only to be killed after fathering an heir to his aunt. This heir is the Prince Who Was Promised, Azor Ahi, who with his mother banishes the Night King, aka Bran, after the dead take over Westeros.
• The White Walkers bear down on Winterfell. One by one they fall, becoming an army of the dead themselves. The Night King continues south after killing all at Winterfell. Cersei flees across the sea as the White Walkers take King's Landing. Dany & Jon Snow have also fled on their dragons. Last, the army of the dead freezes the desert, destroying Dorne and all the humans there. The season ends with the Night King facing the sea, ready to board boats to cross and take all other lands. Meanwhile, Dany & Jon land, finding that Dany is miraculously pregnant. The spinoffs begin.
• Hodor, prompted by a time-traveling Rick Sanchez, starts a cult that eventually envelops all of Westeros. They die wearing purple robes and brand new Nikes after ingesting Kool-Aid.
• Plot twist: there is no throne. Everyone becomes so inbred that society collapses.

QUIZ RECAP

It was a challenging quiz night, with tough questions on food package labeling and country western stars. Not to mention that apparently almost everyone there last night needs to catch up on the cinematic works of Elizabeth Banks!

Returning champs Toasted Buns were joined by newcomers Fuckulents, Hold My Beer & Watch This, and Majestic. While Toasted Buns started and maintained a solid first place lead, the other three teams scrapped for second place. It finally came down to a tiebreaker, with Fuckulents taking home the silver.

QUIZ RECAP

It was another smaller night at Stay Gold, with semi-regulars Toasted Buns and My Other Car Is A Trivia Team being joined by newcomers Fuzzie and the Psychedelic Beets. The night started off pretty close and remained that way through most of the game, even having all three teams whiff on the tricky "Guess Who" question. But it was Toasted Buns' going for it with a double or nothing in Round 6 that brought them another first place finish.

Even though it wasn't a huge crowd, inspiration was striking thanks to the Avengers: Endgame question so we had a drinking round. And thus was born "I Bought A Hulk," where everyone had to substitute "Hulk" for one word in a movie title, with the funniest winning the round. In no particular order, here are the entries:

• How To Lose A Hulk in 10 Days
• Beverly Hills Hulk
• Must Love Hulks
• When Harry Met Hulk
• Black Hulk Down
• 27 Hulks
• Milo & Hulk
• Harry Hulk & The Chamber of Secrets
• 10 Things I Hulk About You

We even had some latecomer patrons to the bar that got involved, contributing "Hulkey and the Bandit."

Overall, a fun night...and our teams were happy there weren't too many sports questions!
