QUIZ RECAP

Back to the big top in the parking lot. The restaurant  was very busy as people want to come out for fun at the Recess Room.  Plus it was whiskey tasting with Forrester Whiskey. Thanks for the cap which I gave to a late arrival team guest as a consolation prize as he had an earlier obligation. 

I love being out here so much that I want to transform it into a tiki luau bar atmosphere with new Hawaiian sofa covers and pillows (I am a seamstress so I can do the transformation!)  plus palm trees, mint plants and pulmerias for a lovely fragrance like the islands!  It must be my hula ohana spirit making wishes! 

So we had 4 returning teams and a new foursome whom I met at the Forrester Whiskey tasting or as i call it 'testing'!

Well played double or nothing rounds but they caused at certain times.  

Highway Star Kiet won his 12 victory in a row!! I did get an official keepsake trophy for our shining star to keep for his office. There is also a new weekly.trophy which will debut next Wednesday which is King Trivia's 80's week. I got my 1984 Van Halen shirt to wear!

QUIZ RECAP

Oh what a muggy hot August night but we were chill and cool as cucumbers in our exclusive private back room with AC!!

Half the room was returning teams and three newly recruited teams. As a Quizmaster, I make the pregame rounds inviting the various tables of diners to play with us because hey it is THE RECESS ROOM so fun Fun FUN!!!

Seven rounds of questions. Lets begin with Round 1 General Knowledge.m which involved Paris, a two faced Roman god, Don Quixote, Daytime Emmy Award winner, raw unroasted coffee beans and the Facebook and Twitter question of the week about the tallest mountain in Idaho.

Rpund Two was the Picture Round of Don't Judge Me to identify the reality show judges. The Amateurs took my suggestion for funny answers in lieu of actually knowing as they said Ken Jeong was "My Dad" plus describing Joe Bastiani h as "My best Italian friend who I wished was my personal chef".

Round 3 was A Healthy Core round about medicine and "Balls" which involved Tums, a Charlotte Hornet, Advil, a 1957 song title, the lettzr D and a red head married to a Cuban percussion.

Round 4 was Guess Who of a famous R & B singer born in 1939 who rolled wirhe The Stones, Tommy and Mad Max.

Finally to Round 7 for "Shaqtin'A Fool" to name 10 of the 11 current NBA teams that have NOT won a championship in any city they have played in. This is yhe honor round just like school where the teams self score this row. Being a quizmaster reminds me of my parent volunteer years with a red pen correcting homework and the teachers said "just mark that they handed in it to save time!"
