- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
Ancient Geezers (pictured first) really blew everyone else out of the water tonight! They started out strong by doubling down in the first two rounds and then stayed consistent throughout the rest of the night. Not only did they finish first, they were 19 points ahead of the second place team! They put up crazy numbers! But with that success comes consequences (AKA other teams complaining about team size). In the past, I never had a team size limit. The official King Trivia rule is that a team can be as big as it wants until other teams start complaining about it. Well, it finally happened. Ancient Geezers kicked so much ass, I think it's time to see what happens when I cut their team in half. So, in case you didn't hear, next Tuesday there will be a team limit of 6 people max. Just temporarily at first. I want to give the Ancient Geezers and their co-partners a chance to prove themselves to the rest of the bar. I am only doing this for the sake of fair competition. Otherwise, tonight was a very fun time! The Fingers of Glory (pictured second) and Interrobang Gang (pictured third) were neck and neck all night until the last round gave the former the advantage (naming the top 10 highest grossing R-rated films). Both teams did their best to catch up to the Ancient Geezers but came up a little short. Thank you to everyone that came out tonight!
Cheers!
Andy

It seems like every week the Ancient Geezers (pictured) adopt some lost kids at the bar to share the glory of their winning streak. This time, a team that called themselves "The Best Time to Wear a Striped Sweater" (TBTTWASS) saw that the Ancient Geezers were lonely and cozied up to them after round one. It was a smart move on their part, especially since the Ancient Geezers went on to win the grand prize with an 88 point haul. Pretty impressive, ya'll! Maybe the Ancient Geezers taught TBTTWASS how to fish (instead of just giving the fish to them) so that they can come back next week and stand on their own. Will the students become the master? Tune in next Tuesday to find out!

For as loud as it was tonight, you'd think we were at a Justin Bieber concert. You know, an arena filled with screaming tween girls. Turns out it was just a company party that ran right into King Trivia time. We DID have a Bieber Hole 69 team! If that counts for anything. Which it should.
Besides the loud distraction, tonight's trivia questions were pretty tame. A lot of teams utilized the double or nothing option and came out with some pretty high scores. Ancient Geezers (pictured 2nd) took an early lead and held on to it until the fourth round. That's where Interrobang Gang (pictured 1st) took control when they turned in their correct answer to the guess who round. Meanwhile, The Hammer of Glory (pictured 3rd) sneaked up from a very slow start and hit two double downs in the fifth and sixth rounds to clinch a 3rd place win. The last round asked teams to relive their childhood days when games were played on tangible boards. Who would have thought that knowing the Monopoly board by heart would pay off?! When it came down to it, Interrobang Gang knew 9 squares one could get on the first roll (when starting at GO) and Ancient Geezers only got 7. But all teams mentioned walked away with some very nice prizes! Congratulations to all who won and to all those who survived the loud party. I appreciate ya'll for sticking through it with me! Until next time, have a great rest of the week!
