When Flailaneus, God Of Arm Waving, brought in his last sleigh of winged horses for the night, he was ready to unwind with a stein or two of cloud mead. But just then, one of the horses broke free and took off on his own, plummeting into the sky below and disappearing from view. “I hate flying,” said Flail (to his friends) and dropped right in after the escaped horse, flipping and, yes, flailing, swooping and beating, falling and soaring after him. The horse, a white winger named Fred, saw he was being pursued and yelled back: “Hey, put yourself in my position!” “I am in your position! I’m flying too!” The “chase,” if you can call it that, went on for another five minutes before Fred finally said to Flail: “Look, you don’t look that unlike me.” “I beg your pardon?” said Flail. “Is there any way you can go back and pretend like you’re me for the next day to just give me a head start? I can’t be a flying horse in service to anyone anymore. I gotta be free!” And long story short, Flail did just that: He passed himself off as a horse for two days and either no one noticed or no one cared. At one point someone gave Flail a sideways look and said: “How old are you?” Flail pawed seven times and that was all it took. The secret was safe. Here’s the point: Everyone looked like a flying horse at the Glendale Tap last night! Let’s talk.

The Ugly Christmas Sweater contest was fought bravely between two of the same team members. One Jazzcat vs. another Jazzcat. The winner? Jazzcat! Congratulations!

Tonight’s Drinking Round was a competition to see who could do the best Dolly Parton. Someone got up and started singing about a weird time in history when people’s work day only went from nine in the morning until five in the evening and I can’t imagine such a time. Free drinks and a free shirt!

In third place tonight with 53 points was Live Laugh Love. Taking second with 57 points was Rob’s Angeles. And dominating the night by two hairs with 59 points was New Jersey Drone Squad. Come back in January for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!

When Brometheus, God Of Jerks, walked into his therapists’s office, he did so with a bag over his head. “Let’s talk about this bag,” said the therapist. “Look, no one can know I come here,” said Bro (to his friends). “You think it would damage your reputation?” asked the therapist. “Of course!” bellowed Bro, shaking the walls and windows. “If it got out to my…my…” Bro forgot what he was gonna say. “Bros?” offered the therapist. “Thank you! If it got out to my bros that I was coming to a shrink, they’d never speak to me again.” “Having trouble understanding you with that bag over your head,” said the therapist whilst sipping her ninth cup of tea. Removing the bag, Bro then said: “This is secret!” he said, “no posts on Threads!” “I’m strictly TikTok,” said the therapist and laughed for a full forty-five minutes. “Well, we have to wrap up,” she said. “Wait, that’s it?” said Bro. “Yes, sorry. My next clients are waiting outside.” “Who are they?” asked Bro. The therapist answered: “A bunch of your bros.” Here’s the point: No one wore a bag over their head at King Trivia night at the Glendale Tap last night. Let’s talk:

Tonights Drinking Round was based on who could do the best impression of Alex Trebek. Also known as a Trebek Off, which sounds like a character in a Chekhov play. The winner was Queen Bees. Their prize was free drinks for all their team. Feel the buzz, bees.

In third place tonight was Dingleberry Farms with a score of 47. In second place was the aforementioned Queen Bees with a score of 59. And taking the night was When In Ramen with a final score of the rhyming 64. Join us every Wednesday night at the Glendale Tap for more King Trivia fun!

There's a certain charm to a place like the Glendale Tap. A place where Halloween skeletons ride in the rafters no matter what month of the year it is. A place where the jukebox plays tunes you can head-bang to, no matter how hard a day it's been. A place where, dare I say, everybody knows your name?

Every King Trivia match is special, there's no doubt about that, but in this quiz master's opinion, there was something legendary about 12/4's match-up at the Glendale Tap. Where the vibe was more about friends coming together and having fun than winning prizes. Where the talk was about the new Wicked movie and big, fluffy dogs sat on the patio. 

Friends were made at this match-up. One lovely group, aptly called "Gizzards" even offered to share their fried-chicken with me, which I was all too happy to accept, as I am fond of fried chicken. It's moments like these that remind one that at the end of the day, a trivia team is like a family, brought together by love, with occassional bouts of tension.
