QUIZ RECAP

The last night of the year for King Trivia at the Tam O'Shanter, despite its warm and fuzzy holiday cheer, was a take-no-prisoners fight to the high scoring finish. And that finish tasted extra sweet for the inhabitants of the winners' circle, for the bar furnished bottles of whiskey for the top teams in addition to the usual prizes. Doubtless, this liquor will go along way towards providing succor to the devotees of our weekly battle of wits who will have to wait until 2018 to play again in their home arena. Until then, keep your minds nimble and ready!

While there were no sightings of dogs making feline friends tonight, we did see an unholy alliance of three of the longest-attending teams around. Well at least some of their members, anyway.

Conjugal Visitors-Aggressive Foreplay-General Washingtons

The name of any one of those teams is enough to strike fear in even the most season Tam player. Indeed, this triumvirate did triumph in the Drinking Round, however chasing doubles proved to be their demise.

Which is not at all to diminish the accomplishment of the rising force that is Too Soon. Seeing as they've now felt the warm light of golden victory, perhaps it's time we call them Now's Cool?

Perhaps not. It would be folly to think I know the answers to all of life's questions. But I can at least spread good cheer to you by way of reminding one and all of the fact that there shall be one more week of trivia of Tam O'Shanter in 2017, that match to take place on November 28th following a Thanksgiving Week recess.

Following a spooky holiday, teams played a spooky drinking round wherein they attempted to name as many films featuring The Merchant of Menace, Vincent Price. The General Washingtons were victorious in this task, more than doubling the closest competition.

Fun fact: Michael Caine’s real name is Maurice Micklewhite. Fun!
