- PUB QUIZ—Thursdays @ 7:30pm
Quizmaster Andy took the night off, so QM Tim stepped in, and nothing could have prepared me for the sordid, unspeakable behavior on display at Barney's Pasadena last night! I mean, sure, I was warned about the name calling and trash talking. But the throwing of beer-soaked paper towels!? Well that's just over the line, doncha think? And it hit me right in the face!!
Okay, I'm lying about all that, but the competitive spirit was very much on display, as 15 teams vied for the trivia trophy. We Always Come From Behind decided to come from ahead, by jumping out to an early lead with a successful Round One double!
Though they held that lead through five rounds, Urban Achievers steadily chipped away at it, gaining a point or two each round, tied the score in Round Six, and outscored 'em in the final round to win the night by a slim 2 points!
Pasadena Peeps finished in third place, by just ONE POINT, with a total of 53, and both Circus-Sized Peanuts and Tequila Mockingbird finished up with identical scores of 52 - just one point out of the running!
It's no wonder the strong scent of competition permeated the room all night! These guys are good!

Congrats to all our winners! It was another tough round and a very close game between 2nd and 3rd that came down to a tie breaker!
The first week of tournament play at Barney's Beanery Pasadena was an exciting one. Unfortunately, it seemed to be a particularly tough round of questions as I can't remember a night when I've seen so many unsuccessful doubles. In the end though, Tyrannosaurus Cox and Intravenus De Milo pulled way ahead of the pack going into the final round. Pasadena Peeps also made some shrewd moves in round 5 to finish in the money. In cased you missed it, of course I posted a picture of my cat shirt for the week. Congrats to all, and I look forward to seeing you next week!
