QUIZ RECAP

When Pageus, God Of Paper, was typing invitations to the Great Ball Blow Out (a celebration of every ball ever made), he knew he’d need more paper to do it. But he had run out of trees. (“Run out of trees” is slang for “killed all the trees.”) He knew this because Barkaneus, God Of Trees, showed up beside him and was all: “What’s up with killing all my trees?” “Look,” said Pag (to his friends), “you want people to show up to the ball ball or not?” “Look,” said Bark (to his friends), “you want people to not be able to go camping ever again? There are no more trees! Where you gonna have this ball ball? In an open field somewhere?” The two gods thought over their problem for about five seconds before deciding the best solution was to call the God Of Water, their buddy Hydroneus. Hyd (to his friends) knew what they they were gonna ask him before they opened their big dumb mouths. “You want me to overabundantly water the dead Earth that you killed and thereby grow back all the trees, right?” Hyd said. And that’s just what he did: unleashing a superflood from on high, Hyd soaked the earth in a torrential downpour that lasted only one minute, but had the ferocity of a hundred and ten oceans dumping on one small area. Within seconds, the Earth became dotted with trees once again. Pag immediately killed one new tree, typed one more invitation, clapped his hands and said: “Done!” “Wait, said Hyd, “you just needed one more invitation? Just one more? I brought back al those trees for just one more invitation?” Embarrassed at the cosmic excess of what just happened, Pag said: “Yeah, just one. Yours!” And Pag handed Hyd his invitation to the Great Ball Blow Out. Which was nice because Hyd had not yet gotten his invitation. Here’s the point: Sometimes even gods gotta party…just like the denizens of the Glendale Tap did on King Trivia night. Let’s talk!

When Flipaneus, God Of Somersaults, finished his floor routine of one million straight somersaults at the One Millionth Annual Gods Of Tumbling Show, he thought for sure everyone would give him a levitation ovation. (You see, gods, when showing their approval for a performance, don’t just stand in applauding support for what they’ve seen; they raise themselves into the air and clap on high for the feat of wonder they’ve just witnessed.) But no such ovation was there. Flip (to his friends) discovered the entire auditorium had gone empty. He turned to the official and asked: “Where the hell did everyone go?” and the official said: “By flip number two hundred thousand, they saw how long this was gonna take and went home with every plan to come back before you finished. But you ramped up your speed by flip number eight hundred and fifty thousand and finished faster than they thought. They should be back any second.” “Crazy,” said Flip, and then said: “How’d I do by the way?” “Flip number seven hundred thousand six hundred and twenty-three wasn’t complete so you’ll have to do it again,” said the official. And so Flip devoted (as did the returning audience) the next three weeks of his life to starting over and beginning all one million somersaults again. Here’s the point: “The entire night at the Glendale Tap last night was exactly like this. Let’s talk:

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.
