- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
The competition was fierce at Founders. Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent took a commanding lead early on, but that all changed with Round 5. A successful double or nothing from Interrobang Gang put them in the lead, and they stayed there through the rest of the game.
While Troop and Interro were fighting neck and neck, Ancient Geezers and Thomas Adam Couldn't Make It were quietly sneaking up and managed to edge Troop down to fourth place.
But the most important aspect of this evening was the mention of Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme in the set. If you haven't seen the 1990 made-for-TV movie Mother Goose Rock 'n' Rhyme, you are missing out. Mother Goose has gone missing and it's up to her son and Little Bo Peed to find her! Join them as they travel through the many stories from Mother Goose told through song and dance from some of the greatest musicians and actors (of the 80s).
Paul Simon as Simple Simon
ZZ Top as the Three Men in a Tub
Little Richard as Old King Cole
Cyndi Lauper as Mary and Woody Harrelson as her lamb
Garry Shandling and Teri Garr as Jack and Jill
Howie Mandel as Humpty Dumpty
and many many more!

They just don't make quiz questions like they used to. It seems like tonight's variety of questions were pretty easy to most teams. There must have been 279 double downs (that is just a rough estimate). Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent (pictured 3rd) came out swinging with two successful double downs in round one and two. Everyone else kind of played it safe until the 5th and 6th round, where there were numerous 20 point additions to multiple teams. In fact, Interrobang Gang (pictured 2nd) didn't have a chance to place until they hit three double downs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh round! That was a quick 60 points that secured second place for them (and the $25 bar credit). Our third place team tonight, You're Off the Hook, began as a team named after Hawaii's state fish Humuhumunukunukuapua. Due to my lack of pronunciation skills, I asked that they help me out and give me something easier to say. They obliged and went on to double down twice throughout the night clinching the round of Coors Banquet for their whole team (pictured first). Troop Beverly Hills Adjacent did go on to win the $75 bar credit after their strong start by playing it cool to the very end. Congratulations to all the teams that came out tonight and made the most of a Tuesday night! We're all winners for that!

It's been too long, Founders Ale House! The Fourth of July really got in the way of our Quiz time together! We really made up for lost time tonight, though!
Interrobang Gang! (pictured first) fell right back into their groove tonight and kept their reign as the Founders Ale House Champions! They had some pressure, however, as several teams doubled their way into contention, including But His Emails... (pictured 2nd) and Torian's Groupies (pictured 3rd). Ultimately, it came down to how many best picture Oscar winners they could match to their winning year. But His Emails... could only get 6 when Interrobang Gang! got 8. Both teams knew the same number of populous countries in Africa, for the last round, which helped Interrobang Gang! keep their crown for another week.
I'm glad to see everyone back after the holiday! Hope to see you next week!
