When Lemertes, God Of Bold Colors, was decorating the boat belonging to Hephestes, God Of Aquatic Languishing, he thought: “I’m sick of cerulean! Every year it’s just different shades of teal and turquoise and aquamarine and I’ve had it.” So, in that moment, Lemertes went brown! In fact, turkey brown! “Hey,” said Hephestes when he saw what Lemertes was painting, “add some feathers to the top and it’ll look like a huge aquatic turkey!” And so they did, believing that the vessel would be a huge hit at that year’s Celestial Boat Show, an event for all gods who’re into boats. But upon pushing out into Cloud Harbor, Hephestes’s boat was mistaken for a giant swimming turkey and summarily shot with a giant arrow by Arronneous, God Of Arrows. “Sorry,” he later apologized, “thought it was a turkey.” Not only did Hephestes’s vessel unceremoniously sink, it was also snubbed by the judges. Here’s the point: If you wanna win the Drinking Round at King Trivia night at the Glendale Tap, learn how to do a turkey.

The Best Turkey Impression went to Tennis Club. He went full wattle with his free hand and I had to give it to him. I would’ve been hurt had I not.

In third place was The Previous Year’s Winners with 35 points. (Had they won in the previous year? No. No they had not.) In second place was Sloppy Hoppy with 40 points. (They went with the name Sloppy Hoppy after Messy Drunk didn’t go over so well.) And commanding the night with 52 points was Mount Mazama Take Your Top Off! (Note: At no time did anyone in the bar take their top off.)

When Peropticles, God Of Expensive Desserts, ran out of nutmeg whilst preparing crême brûleé for the Carnival Of Stars, a huge event where gods from all over the known and unknown universe convene and pretend to like each other, he immediately summoned his friend Fobratrix, God Of Condiments, and said: “Hey, I’m outta nutmeg. Can you fire off a supply to my pantry ASAP?” But Fobatrix was in the middle of catering one of the wars of Sangor, God Of Blood. He was behind on deli prep just as Sangor’s horde was charging up the Hill Of Bones and knew they were gonna be hungry; he was in dire need of supplies himself. “Tell you what,” Fob offered, “I’ll have my assistant Chromax bring a pouch of nutmeg, but I can only spare a pouch. I’ve got other things going on!” Peropticles agreed and when the nutmeg arrived, carried by Chromax in a dusty pouch, it was then and only then that Peropticles thought: “Maybe this god thing ain’t for me?” Point is: This kind of ambiguity was nowhere insight Wednesday night at The Glendale Tap King Trivia Night! Let’s talk!

The Drinking Round was a Lion King Off. Whoever could do the best impression of their favorite character from The Lion King won free drinks for their team. Some guy came up, sang the first bellowing cry of “Ingonyama” and almost shut down the bar. It would’ve been weird if he hadn’t won.

In third place was Trivia.png with 59 points! In second was The Titsburg Feelers with 62 points! (That’s a team name I’ve always wanted to say into a microphone.) And coming from behind with a huge upset was JN with 66 points! Their win was downright magical! Come back next week for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!

QUIZ RECAP

When Bersephones, God of Styrofoam, packed a large fishing pole into a crate to send to his friend Golanus, God Of Hobbies, he'd forgotten that, due to a deal he had to make with Poseidon, some of the crate's route would have to be underwater. No one likes to get shook down by a God, so Bersephones sent a text via the clouds to Golanus that said: "Hey, the less business I give that goon Poseidon the better, so can you just pick up the pole at my place?" and Golanus was like: "Sure," but then Poseidon broke in with his own text and said: "Um, you guys know I can read this right?" Point is: If a god wants to shake you down, you're probably gonna get shook down. Good news though: No such shake down occurred last night at the Glendale Tap on King Trivia night. Let's talk!

The Drinking Round was a Thatch Off: One person from each team was to do their best impression of the Iron Lady herself, UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. One team competed. One team won. And she was British too. It's a good thing she won! Would've been weird otherwise.

In third place with 47 points was Live Laugh Love! In second place with 48 points was Robert & The Passengers. And maintaining their first place position all night long were the Jazzcats with 52 points! Huzz. Ah.

Come back next Wednesday night and every Wednesday night at 7:30 at the Glendale Tap for more King Trivia fun!
