QUIZ RECAP

This week's exciting and delightful evening of trivia competition at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale was notable for the surprisingly large number of new faces/friends that participated and in out ongoing soiree.

In that regard, we offer a gracious tip-of-the-hat to the friendly faces of M.U./F.U., who came to play and walked away with the win! Nicely done, gang. (I confess, I lacked the courage to inquire what "M.U./F.U." stood for. I know I should have. But my imagination prevented me from posing the question.)

Of course, not every face was new. Longtime regulars (and most definitively cool kids) The Kool Kidz Table brought their "A" game to take second. (Perhaps that's their "B" game? Hmmmm. Food for thought.)

And Eat Your Draymond Greens ate up third place, to round out our winners circle. No mysterious creatures in the bushes this week, I'm relieved to report. But the mosquitoes were a threat to any exposed skin throughout the evening. Gotta swat those suckers every chance we get!

See ya next week.

QUIZ RECAP

You see a lot of things when you're a quizmaster. Odd things. Strange things. Things that cannot be explained. Things that defy rational analysis. Things that...are...NOT OF THIS WORLD!!

I saw something last night. Oh sweet mother of God, I saw something last night that chilled me to the bone. It was horrifying and fascinating and altogether disturbing.

The sideyard patio at Golden Road Brewery in Glendale is, without doubt, one of the most welcoming and delightful venues in the King Trivia family of venues. Comfortable and capacious, it is the perfect place to spend an evening among your fellow trivia aficionados. The wrought iron fence that runs along the outside periphery of the patio has been overcome by the thick, green vines that have grown up, around and throughout the fence, rendering the fence itself all but invisible. But it's there, to be sure, and thank GOD it's there!!

Last night, several quizinators told me that they heard strange sounds emanating from the shrubbery out there, on the outer periphery. Eventually, I felt I had no choice but to investigate. I am, after all, the resident Quizmaster at Golden Road, and I know that quizinators look to their quizmasters for leadership, and to show courage in the face of whatever danger might be lurking within the thick but dimly lit shrubbery.

So I boldly pulled up my adult-size lederhosen, activated the flashlight on my cell phone, and went to see what all the fuss was about.

Well, as you can see from the photo above, the thing in the shrubbery was more horrible than anything I might have imagined. The team sitting closest to the shrub claimed it was a friend of theirs, but I am convinced that it is a mutated form of sasquatch, and it smelled even worse than it looked.

See ya next week! (Sit near the shrubs - if you dare!!)
