The rain outside held off until the end of tonight's King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern, but inside, the players rained answers down upon the Quizmaster. Remind me to never put it that way again.

Thin Lizzy took a commanding lead with a successful Double Or Nothing in the Find the Connection round and never looked back. Kim Makes Pizzas She Really Does finished in second place. The magical and mystical Tiebreaker was needed to determine third place between Doms Family and Ceviche. The Family came closest to the Target (the question was about the founding of Target, so this is a terrific joke!)

During tonight's King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern, a small pig named Wilbur walked in and noticed a spider on the wall. "Hey," said Wilbur, "that spider is weaving a message in its web!" "What does it say, my porcine pal?" I replied.

The extruded silk told us that Door City Over Here impressed her when they scored 20 points in the Matching Round, as did Tequila Tots with a perfect Final Round. The final thought of the proteinaceous posting was how happy our arachnid acquaintance was that Damn It, Kim came in third while also winning the Drinking Round.

With that, Wilbur headed for the door and, without a goodbye, trotted out into the warm Sherman Oaks evening. "Rude!" proclaimed the spider who then added, "Oh wow! Speaking is a much easier form of communication that stringing words out my butt."

See you next Wednesday for more King Trivia at The Oaks.

King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern resembles a UFC in one of the following three ways. See if you can guess which it is!

1. Lots of blood.

2. The players wear very little.

3. The competition is fierce.

Send your answers on a postcard to the prime minister of Finland.

As for tonight's game, the Find the Connection round broke the hearts of several teams, but To Be Fair was the only team to successfully Double Or Nothing, leading to a huge win. Going for the Hat Trick took inspiration from the Stanley Cup playoffs and, just like the Los Angeles Kings, came in second. Genetics did very well in Round 7 and took third.

Do I have to clean up a bunch of blood and speedos? Only Finnish PM Sanna Marin can tell.
