QUIZ RECAP

When Hermes got mocked by the other Greek gods for having a funny name (they'd call him Spermes, among other names), he never let it get to him. "You're just jealous of my winged sandals!" he'd declare. "We're gods," they'd say. "Lots of us can fly, dummy." But he was off, in the wind literally, skipping over clouds like pond stones, en route to his next errand of protecting thieves or some politician or something. Point is: Don't let your trivia competition throw you off your game. Let it feed you like an Olympian taunt from Zeus or an acid-toungued curse from Hestia! Let's talk!

QUIZ RECAP

When Persephone slipped a whoopie cushion under her dad Zeus's chair at the God Squad Ceremony, she thought nothing of it. "He's lucky I'm not bringing zombies into this," she thought. The two often laughed together over childish things like different noises the body can make, monkeys, and how much Mom sucked. So when Zeus took his seat to a silent auditorium, the ripping sound of the cushion did peal forth through the rafters and was felt by all in attendance. It gave an ungodly echo. Amongst the resultant snickers and scoffs was Persephone's throaty squeal which rose above all and received no support whatsoever. In an unexpected showing of self-deprecation, Zeus, even though he knew he had just sat on a Roman whoopie cushion, said: "Excuse me. I tend to release gas at exactly the same time I sit down. Weird coincidence." Persephone, outraged that her dad was literally stealing her thunder, said: "That was not him! I put a whoopie cushion there!" "Forgive my daughter," said Zeus. "Can someone take her out of here?" Once his daughter was removed, Zeus announced: "Now let's party!" And so they did, with dancing and drinking for four entire days while Persephone sat in muddy marsh scowling at her misfortune. Point is: NOTHING like that happened at The Glendale Tap Wednesday night. Let's talk.

Getting heckled by a friend is not the favor a lot of friends think it is. But if ever there was gonna be an argument, it would probably be over comic book characters. And there was! Round 2 was a doozy. The drinking round was: "Do Your Impression Of A Superhero." Count Ballsacula won the room with a brief scene from "Superman I." No one had seen the movie, but that never matters!

In third place with 50 points were The Jazzcats. In second with 56 were the aforementioned Count Ballsacula. And taking the night with 62 points was Live Laugh Love. And we did all three! We did undubitably live and laugh and love! Come back next week for more trivia fun with King Trivia at the Glendale Tap.

QUIZ RECAP

When Circe mouthed off to her dad, the sun God Helios, he usually disciplined her with a banishing to Hades. It took five times of meting out this punishment before he relaized that she liked it. "Who wears the pants in your family, Helios?" asked the Elders of Joppa. "I mean, we understand you wear togas, but you know what we mean." So instead, after she yelled "Up yours, pops!" right at him in front of them (it had not been the first time), he summoned up the courage and grounded her right there and then. "No spells for a month, young lady!" "Fine!" she spat back. "I'm going to live with Mom!" And Helios was all: "Do you know what grounded is? You don't get to go anywhere!" And it went back and forth like that for a month--right there in front of the entire hall, for a literal month, at the end of which Circe was free again. And that's how that girl played her dad over and over again. The moral? Make sure your trivia nights don't go anything like this. Let's talk!

Tonight's Drinking Round was: How Many Bathrooms In Buckingham Palace? A late-coming team named Hair Of The Nose answered 71 and won with the correct answer being 78. If I lived in a house with 78 bathrooms, I would use each one equally. Every day, every function, a new bathroom.

In third place tonight was Beers For Queers with 65 points. In second, Check For Fruits with 72. And slapping everyone around again was Fertile Crescent Rolls with 75 points. Come back next week at 7:30 for more King Trivia fun at Glendale Tap!
