QUIZ RECAP
When Helmeteus, God Of Protective Head Gear, was sent head-first into The Brick Wall Of Farbingeus for the tenth time in front of the entire Assembly Of Clouds, he thought: “Well, certainly that’ll be the last one, right? Certainly they can’t wanna see more!” But Farbingeus stood up and said: “Sorry. One more time!” “You’ve gotta be kidding me! How many times does my helmeted heard have to hit your wall, man! It’s secure!” But Farb (to his friends) was unconvinced. “I had a surprise invasion of Gorgaxians last week that managed to get through my last wall. I need to know how sturdy this one is.” “But Gorgaxians fly,” reasoned Helmet (to his friends, “it wouldn’t matter how thick your wall is. They’ll just go over it.” With that, a silence fell on the assembly. Much like the silence that flooded through the Glendale Tap when several teams thought a bomb pop was really called an astro pop. Here’s the point: United Arab Emirates is not the same as Qatar. Let’s talk:
Tonight’s Drinking Round was a competition to see who could do the best impression of The Mountain That Rides from Game Of Thrones. I cant remember which team won, but it involved a man climbing onto the shoulders of a woman and yelling at the ceiling. (By the way: That will win you the Drinking Round every time.)
In third place tonight with a score of 51 points was Live! Laugh! Love! In second place with a score of 55 points was Robert And The Passengers. And taking the night from behind was County Roadies with a score of 58 points. They weren’t winning, and then they were winning. Come back next week for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!

QUIZ RECAP
When Waximus, God Of Candles, lit the three hundredth candle for the King’s Boat Parade, it was only then that he remembered: “Oh, that’s right! This is, like, a huge fire hazard! Why was I asked to do this?” The large barge he was on, loaded down with the three hundred candles, was not only in danger of catching fire but also of sinking into the Bottom Sound. “Just let it sink!” yelled a kid from the shore. “The water’ll put it out! And isn’t the King this parade’s for Poseidon anyway?” The kid was right, remembered Waximus, as he let the barge confidently sink below the water line, all its candles going out in fizzy snuffs, filling the water with black ashy clouds, filling Poseidan’s kingdom with watery darkness for generations to come. “This parade sucks,” Poseidon was rumored to have said. Here’s the point: This exact thing happened at the Glendale Tap on King Trivia night. Let’s talk:
Tonight’s Drinking Round was a Father’s Day Competition. One person from each team came up and did their best impressions of their dads. When In Ramen took it all when one of their members came up, looked at the room, and just walked out the door. Winner.
In third place tonight was Backdoor Bandits with 48 points. In second was When In Ramen with 57 points. And taking the night with 59 points was The Meg 2’s. Come back next week for more King Trivia fun at The Glendale Tap!

QUIZ RECAP
When Croswalkanus, God Of Crosswalks, was holding a stop sign for a bunch of hamsters traversing Cloud Avenue, he didn’t see the giant chopper scooper hovering low overhead to gather up the critters. “Hey, what’s going on!” Cross (to his friends) yelled at the chopper pilot. “The Gargantuan Gator’s at it again!” answered the pilot on a shaky P.A. system. “He’s saying he’s gonna destroy the village if he’s not sated with the flesh of ten hamsters crossing a street by lunch!” “He’s always saying that!” yelled Cross. “You wanna take that chance?” said the pilot. Eventually, Cross convinced the pilot to scoop him up instead. Cross coincidentally weighed exactly the same as the ten hamsters, giver or take. Flying him high and hidden in the scooper, the pilot opened the huge receptacle above the Gator’s gaping maw, sending Cross and not ten hamsters right into the Gator’s gullet. “You know I can’t eat gods,” moaned the Gator as Cross exploded form the Gator’s stomach thus freeing the city from further turmoil, but not from copious amounts of gator guts for weeks. Here’s the point, something like this almost happened at the Glendale Tap tonight for trivia night. Let’s talk!
The Drinking Round was a singing competition. The best rendition of a song about flying or sailing was won by When In Ramen with a rendition of “Come Sail Away” that had the people sailing out the door! Free drinks!
In third place tonight was Dirty Biscuits with a score of 39 points. In second was Cheese Knees (and arriving late) with 40 points. And taking the night was a team who thought they’d do trivia as an after thought. Trivia Newton-John with 42 points. We’re off next week, but come back the Wednesday after for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!
