QUIZ RECAP

When Metheles, God Of Pharmaceuticals, misplaced his stash (he could’ve sworn he hid it behind El Capitan; it wasn’t there), he racked his massive brain for where he may have put it. “I had four hundred million tons of Fun Gas cartridges, nine million tons of Lemon Shots, and two hundred million tons of Cheese and I can’t remember what I did with it!” He asked his mom Lucinda, Goddess Of Household Chores, “Mom, where’s my work?” (“Work” was a slang term for his stash that he only used around the police.) “Didn’t you bury it under those rocks at the bottom of Niagra Falls?” she asked. And sure enough, there everything was, a little soggy but still good stuff. He asked his mom to test some of it and she said: “Ooo, yeah! That’s good stuff!” The point is this: When you can hide your stash anywhere on Earth because you’re a god, write down on a post-it note where you hid it because gods have a lot on their plate.

The Drinking Round tonight was called “Do The Dew!” One person from each team came up and did a Mountain Dew commercial. Sweet Beans were not good at it, but they were adorable so they won and it’s always cool when the teams with only two people win free drinks!

In third place with 55 points was Robert & The Passengers. In second place with 64 pointswas Spotify Wrapped. And taking the night and having their way with it was Pizzadena with 75 points. Join us every Wednesday at 7:30 at the Glendale Tap!

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!
