QUIZ RECAP

In the news!:  King Trivia Pub Quiz seems to be on a growing trend at the marvelous Lion & Crown Pub here in beautiful Watters Creek plaza, where the only worry seems to be securing a parking spot closest to one’s destination.  And for Quizmaster Lou, who has to lug his Fender sound system and quiz gear, that can be a real competition!  Old Lou isn’t as young as he used to be.  Humping 50 lbs of equipment is daunting enough to make Quizmaster Lou get territorial over a parking space that’s even only 10 feet closer!  Where was I?  Oh!  More teams are showing up to play! 

Welcome to newbies The Fam, The Leo’s and Kihil (probably soon to change their name…)  One thing I’ve noted about game play since I’ve been emceeing the quiz, the regular teams are starting to equalize in the scoring department.  Scores are narrowing to just a few points making the competition more fierce.  Having a six way tie on Round One ought to tell you something. 

Probably the highlight of the evening was Quizmaster Lou’s acappella rendition of Lesley Gore’s It’s My Party  Or it could have been the lowlight, depending on whom you ask!  Also noteworthy were some of the wrong answers.  The stumper question (IMHO) last night was, “What is the term for a baby alligator?”  (Interestingly enough, only team Kihil got it right, but ironically, they missed all the other questions in that round!)  When one doesn’t have a clue as to the answer, a flippant answer can engender hilarity instead of leaving a blank space; And Quizmaster Lou will certainly exploit it for a laugh.  Hence, Memo Y Bandito’s response of Geico prompted guffaws! 

In any case, a great time was had by all.  Until next week, I remain…  Humbly…  Quizmaster Lou.
