QUIZ RECAP

Thanksgiving day is one week away!  Hooray!  Hooray!  The atmosphere at the Lion & Crown was festive and cheerful.  A good sized crowd was there and all the regulars were represented.  A new face appeared and played as well.  A lone player calling himself “Phil Solo.”  I asked him if he was related to Napoleon, but he corrected me and said, “No, I’m the bastard son of Han.”  I went The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and he went Star Wars, but we both understood each other.  That’s what I call a natural trivia fit.

 

Excitement was to be had.  Stealth Texas grabbed the lead and held it almost to the end of the game, but fell to second place in Round Six, only to snatch it back for a Seventh Round win.  Off and on again team Shredder Squad also took an early second  position while regular resident champions the Ninja Turtles fell to third.  Don’t worry, Ninja Turtles.  I have every confidence that you will once again regain your title.  And if you don’t, be happy that in playing at your always excellent peak, you have raised the bar for everyone else! 

 

Good play and company from our regulars, IFFY!, Beer Logic, Pickles on a Plate, Men of Troy, and Ship It!, who all came and showed their colors with honor and enthusiasm! 

 

A word about Stealth Texas.  A couple of months ago, a lone man walked into the pub and started playing KTPQ by his lonesome.  He has since formed his own team simply by drawing together from around him the Cliff Clavens and Norm Petersons who like to sit at their regular stool by the bar.  Thus, by assimilation alone has this man climbed to victory.  As Shakespeare said,

 

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon 'em."

 

A very happy Thanksgiving to all.  Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all again after the holidays!  As always, I remain, faithfully yours…
