QUIZ RECAP

There was a disturbing incident of attempted identity theft last night at The Famous in Glendale, wherein longtime regulars (and 3rd place finishers) Yer a Quizard Harry (note the single "z" and the "Yer") were forced to endure the presence of an imitation You're a Quizzard, Harry (note the "zz" and the "You're") team.

Fortunately, there's no way this attentive quizmaster would ever get confused about who the real Quizards are. One of our favorite regular teams, that's them pictured in photo #4 above. I do have to confess that we were impressed by the Quizzard's strong showing that included 53 points and a fifth-place finish. (That's just 6 points out of the top three!)

We're not sure what to make of our winning team's name, but The Shitty Beatles made the bell ring-0 with their 85 point 1st place finish. Longtime trivia stalwarts Because Jeopardy Won't Let Us Drink (photo #9 above) finished in the top three again, despite failed double attempts in the first and seventh rounds!

I can't wind this up without mentioning the lovely ladies of Drunken Donuts, (photo 7) whose 37 points were nothing to write home about, certainly, but they submitted some funny answers, which were too naughty to print here.

If you wanna know what they said, you'll just have to visit us next Thursday night at The Famous, where you'll find the BEST trivia quiz hosted by a guy named Tim on a Thursday night anywhere in Southern California! Really! It's the best one!!

See ya next week.

QUIZ RECAP

It's a GREAT time to be alive! If there's one thing that can be said about King Trivia quiz-lovers (and we all know there are many things that could be said about us) it's that we are culturally aware! We are hip; with it; tuned in; ahead of the curve. In fact, I heard members of third-place finisher Electric Moustache say exactly that last night. (They were a little full of themselves after finishing in the top three, so a little self-aggrandizement seemed acceptable.)

Nothing gets past them - or us - am I right!? Of course I am! And who among us isn't delighted with the cultural trend that is destined to be the next big thing. I speak, of course, of Mantyhose! For far too long, men have been denied the pleasures, and leg-accenting features, of a good pair of pantyhose. But not anymore!!

If this trend catches fire like I expect it to, our second place team, Gentle Sweaters, may have to update their team name by switching to a different garment. "Gentle Hosers" perhaps? No, wait. Never mind. That really doesn't work at all.

But mantyhose are undeniably awesome, and those hose pair up nicely with the equally awesome new Romphims, which are, obviously, rompers...for him - which means US, guys!! Why has it taken so long for these fashion choices to become available to fashion forward men?

I can't answer that, but I do know that if you're gonna live your life as a fashion-forward style-ista, like our first-place winners That's Jude Law Dancing Down The Street do, you'll want your Romphims to be entirely made of lace in a pastel color! Damn right!

Okay, seriously. I don't know if anyone is going to embrace these new sartorial options. But we celebrate free expression in any form, and in a world as disrupted and disturbed as ours seems to be just now, we welcome any and all amusing and stimulating statements of independence and individuality.

More significantly, in celebrating both diversity and free expression, we wish everyone a very happy and celebrative LA Pride Weekend. Seriously - the world has gotten darker. Embrace the light. Cry Freedom!
See ya next week.

QUIZ RECAP

Imagine, if you will, that you have the same dinner every Thursday night. Pasta carbonara. A thick, creamy sauce that has bits of bacon and other goodness mixed in. You have your noodles cooked just the way you like them. And a nice bottle of vino to cap it off.

Every Thursday, you eat it on the same patio, at the same table, with the same utensils. It's delicious and predictable. You love Thursdays.

And then one day, you're eating your usual meal and you look up and realize 'I'm not in the same place. Who are all these people around me?' It feels so familiar, but so very different.

That's what it's like being a guest trivia host. You know how to run a trivia show, but with a whole different surrounding, it can be a bit intimidating.

I want to thank the wonderful people of the Famous Bar for making me feel at home on a Thursday night. No, it wasn't my usual, but it was a delicious - I mean wonderful - time hosting King Trivia.

You'll be back to your usual next week, and I'll be back to mine, but never forget June 1!
