The Pub at Golden Road is a full-service, family-friendly environment located just a stone’s throw from Griffith Park in Atwater Village. Open 7 days a week, The Pub offers ample indoor and outdoor seating, over a dozen Golden Road beers on tap, and games for the young (and young at heart).
Your faithful quizmaster would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the fine folks who comprise Golden Monkey Nuts, one of the 22 teams that did battle in our delightful weekly quiz soiree at Golden Road Brewery last night.
It seems that I may have offended the tender sensibilities of the Monkey Nut crew early in the proceedings when I innocently offered my opinion that Thin Mints (though undeniably delicious) are NOT the best and most delicious of the cookies offered annually by the Girl Scouts of America.
That honor, of course, goes to Samoas.
When the Monkey Nuts crew submitted their answer sheet in the next round, they demonstrated the NUTS portion of their team name by including a not-so-subtle note offering their declaration of fealty to the Thin Mint and questioning the judgment of this stalwart quizmaster! WELL!!
You can understand where this stalwart quizmaster felt he had no choice but tp remind the Monkey Nuts (and everyone else) that the quizmaster is the final arbiter of all disputes (as the rules clearly state) and that when the quizmaster declares that Thin Mints (while certainly delicious) don't hold a candle to Samoas, that statement is - by definition - unarguably true and correct!!
Now that should have ended it, right? But Noooooooooo!!
The Monkey Nuts, clearly delusional from having eaten perhaps a few too many Thin Mints, added notes to each of their ensuing answer sheets, professing escalating support for their beloved (if somewhat flawed, though undeniably delicious) cookie-of-choice, and expressing increasingly offensive contempt for your beloved quizmaster, in a sequence that reached its catharsis with the eloquent and elegant message, "SUCK IT TIM!" WELL!!
SO again, I offer my apology to Golden Monkey Nuts for having shaken their core beliefs and rocked 'em with a little slice of Samoan reality. While I do respect your opinion on this matter, I note that you finished in 13th place last night, so clearly, you don't know jack about cookies!! *grin*
See y'all next week.
