When Eulogenia, Goddess Of Funeral Speeches, was told she had only five minutes to give her dad’s eulogy, she was appalled. “You tell me now?” she asked the Priest. “Right before going on? You couldn’t have told me this two months ago when he died?” (Before you ask: “A eulogy for a god? How does a god die?”, ask yourself this: “What business of mine is it how a godly family tree grows?”) The turnout for the funeral was such that the congregation filled up the entire northern hemisphere of the planet. “Look,” argued the Priest, “it’s amazing we found a church big enough to accommodate this many people!” “But he lived to five thousand years. I should at least get five thousand seconds,” she explained. “But that’s close to ninety minutes,” retorted the priest, “I’ve never officiated a funeral with a eulogy that lasted ninety minutes! Half the world will be asleep!” “How did you do that math so quickly?” she eyed him suspiciously. The two went at it like this in front of the entire congregation for five full minutes, which was the allotted time for the eulogy in the first place. “Time!” declared the Priest, and the crowd was relieved. Here’s the point: Time flies when you’re having fun and fun was had Wednesday night at The Glendale Tap! Let’s talk!

Tonight’s Drinking Round was a Gollum Off: the best Gollum impression would win free drinks for their team. Someone from Post-Pink got up and used the word “raw” in their impression and, well, let’s just say they won. Free drinks!

 

In third place tonight with a score of 62 points was Rob’s Angels. In second place with 69 points was Post-Pink. And taking the night with a strong 75 points was When In Ramen. Come back next week and every Wednesday night at 7:30 for more King Trivia fun at the Glendale Tap!

A lovely night at Glendale Tap's trivia night! The drinks were a-flowing and the players were a-trivia-ing. Most of the game was neck-and-neck, leaving teams only one point apart. Sweat on their brows, the teams worked hard together to determine which celebrity was being impersonated on SNL and which Kennedy was being mentioned through a series of clues. Don't forget to swing by next week for another amazing round of trivia at 7:30!

When Repeleranus, God Of Mountain Descending, realized he had no more room in his pouch for all the bolts he planned on removing from Peak-Free Mountain on his way back down, he started to put them in his mouth. When he ran out of room there, he summoned his friend Tineraneus, God Of Rusty Metal, to help him out. Upon arriving in three seconds (as Gods do), Tin (to his friends) said: “What’s going on?” With a mouth full of bolts, Rep (to his friends) said: “I got nowhere to put these bolts and was wondering if you can cary some?” but because he couldn’t enunciate, it sounded like: “I fought snowmen in Humboldt and was worried about Carol Summers.” So Tin was all: “What?” but then didn’t wait for an answer before he teleported both of them to the ground (where all Gods belong) and said: “We done here?” and disappeared back to his cosmic metal scraping party from beyond, leaving Rep there by himself at the bottom of a mountain, only to start climbing to the top again. Here’s the point: Some of this kind of stuff sort of happened tonight at the Glendale Tap King Trivia Night. Let’s talk.

 

You know who Sean Wright is? The whole crowd at the Tap knows now, since it was his birthday. Tonight’s Drinking Round was a competition to see who could do the best Sean Wright impression. The winner? Not Sean Wright! An older guy pretending to be Sean in the future talking about time travel won and I knew that would happen. Free drinks.

 

Tied for third tonight, with a score of 45 points, were Ohio Returns and Pup ’n Suds. There is no better tie than one for third place! Ohio Returns took the prize for only being off on the number of rivets used in the Eiffel Tower by about two million. How did you win third tonight? In second place, with a score of 61 points, was Sean Wright’s team of When in Ramen. In first place, with 62 points, was Rob’s Angels. The only thing worse than missing first place by one point is not being the best at doing an impression of yourself! Come back next week for more King Trivia fun at The Glendale Tap!
