When Dormaneus, God Of Beds, needed more fluff in his pillow (that’s not a euphemism; he literally needed more fluff in his pillow), his first thought was to sheer a few of Hermes’s lambs. Hermes, away on some mission (typical), often didn’t tend to his flock in the most caring way, so Dorm (his friends called him that) snuck into Hermes’ sheep pen, took a giant pair of scissors, and make quick work of a ram, a ewe and more than a few goats. In seconds, he had enough fluffy stuff for a few pillows. While leaving, the sheep took him to task: “Now we’re naked!” “We’re all a little naked now and then!” replied Dormaneus as he once again flew from the pen and back into his bed. Post is: There were no sheep at Wednesday’s Glendale Tap King Trivia Night! Only leaders. Let’s talk:

The Drinking Round was a spirited Beatle-Off. One person from each team had to come up and do an impression of their favorite Beatle. From Pizzadena,” a guy got up, started talking about peace and love, and then his buddy shot him. THAT’S how you win a drinking round!

In third place was Divey League with 51 points. In second was Pizzadena with 55 points. And taking the night firmly in its paws was Jazzcats with 61 American points. Come back next Wednesday to the Glendale Tap at 7:30 for more King Trivia fun!

When Delapitous, God Of Playing Cards, dealt the game known as Go Nova, he assumed all players at the table were at least familiar with it. First invented several trillions of years ago, Go Nova is a game in which all players are dealt an entire standard deck of 52 playing cards. From those cards, each player must construct a practical Celestron Refractor telescope with which to view the farthest stars. Players may use ANY or none of their cards to do this. “We’re gods!” the players exclaimed, “what’s to stop us from just cheating and making a telescope appear out of thin air?” said one of Del’s god-friends. Another said: “We’re gods, can’t we just GO to any star we want? Like, right now?” It soon became apparent that when you can do whatever you want, it’s not so much fun being a god. Point is: There may not have been any gods at the Glendale Tap on King Trivia’s Wednesday Night Trivia Night, but there was also no cheating! Let’s talk:

The Drinking Round was won by Floatin’ Goats who not only had a guy who could do a great impression of Napoleon Dynamite but who also looked like him! He won before he even opened his mouth. God!

In third place with 45 points were The Hot Carls. (They kept  In second was Mister Littledog And Friends with 60 points. And taking the night was the aforementioned Floatin’ Goats with a winning score of 62 points. Come back next Wednesday for more King Trivia fun at The Glendale Tap!

When Plummetous, God Of Gravity, executed a perfect double inverse waist spin with a slight counterclockwise head turn (toward the judges, natch) right into an active volcano at the two millionth annual God Dives Festival, he had already been long suspected of taking performance enhancing drugs. “I’m a god!” he defended. “Why the hell would I need to take drugs for anything?” This was a common refrain from gods who’d get accused of such offenses, but Plummetous’s joyful manner whenever he would emerge from the bubbling lava had spectators and judges alike very skeptical. “I will agree to a urine test!” he announced from on high. Plummetous started to relieve himself into a large cistern normally reserved for weddings, but, forgetting he was a god and not knowing his own strength, he accidentally started the Great Flood of Hylanjia as his liquid waste covered the entire kingdom for no less than three centuries. But once deluged, everyone could agree: “No, he’c clean. Give him first place.” Point is: Just because someone is consistently good at trivia doesn’t mean they’re cheating.  Let’s talk:

The Drinking Round was a Yoda Off. Somehow there were more people who wanted to do an impression of Yoda than there were teams. How’d that happen? (I don’t remember who won. I think it was…EVERYONE!)

In third place with 42 points was Forrest Not Gump. In second with 47 was P’s In A Pod. And winning again with five million points was Queen Bees! Do come back next week for more King Trivia Fun at the Glendale Tap!
