- PUB QUIZ—Wednesdays @ 9:00pm
Overstuffed with stuffing, tripping on tryptophan, stomaches twerking with twerky, monster mashing with mashed potatoes and macked out on mac and cheese - our players returned from the holiday with a few extra pounds to throw around in our first post Thanksgiving game. Only three teams would be left tonight to give thanks for the gift cards they were about to receive while the remainder of our Puritans were shipped up back on the Mayflower and sent back out to sea to contemplate their losses. Other things they can contemplate on that boat would be that Meghan Trainor's fans are not referred to as "alone" but as "Megatrons" - all two of them anyway - and that Boniface, Innocent and Pious are all indeed popular Pope names. The night got progressively harder as bread was broken and teams tried to withstand the pressure of the game - and the belt on their pants - but not everybody was slow on the uptake as Heavy Lumber came back for seconds again and again and again. Cleaning his plate with the rest of the challengers tonight, our first place team wasn't so much giving as they were receiving point upon point upon point. This just means that the rest of you need to hit the books - and the gym - and come back next week with full eyes and full hearts instead of full tummys.

Some post Election Night blues being drank away at the bar tonight but the teams came out ready for 2020 with an incredible close first half of the game. Neither side was willing to concede to the other as an impressively tough first round kept the doubling nonexistent and put everyone on an even footing until we made our way into Round 4. Mecca proved to be a holy sign for a few who managed to snag those 10 and 8 points and launch ahead for a few precious points above the rest. But many early hopefuls saw their entire campaign fall apart before their eyes when they got a little too cocky on the final round, most incorrectly assuming that Glenn Close had won an Oscar. Not yet, anyways. Glad to see the spirit of competition alive and well - even if it means only three of you are walking out of Barney's with your head held high.
