QUIZ RECAP

Another successful king trivia night at Slater's 50/50 in HB!

We had one of our favorite returning teams join us, ultimately taking the cake against the newcomers.

With just two teams the battle for victory was neck and neck! Mike Tyson's speech school was in the lead from round one! The teams had the same amount of correct answers, but being registered with king trivia set them over the edge.

Round two had an interesting response but not a challenge for these two teams!

Round three up next with a head scratcher, but both teams nailing the answer. Who remembers renting video games from Blockbuster!?

We laughed and giggled at my first time, definitely learning as I go! As you can see, I managed to grab a selfie with one of the players! I'm sure everyone was tired from a long Labor Day weekend. We'll be sure to snap more pics next time! Thank you everyone for having me! It was a pleasure.

Mike Tyson's speech school won first place with a whopping 60 points! Team Venue not far behind with 48. We will see you all next week!

QUIZ RECAP

Another week, another team returning! Welcome back, Uffda! Glad you could join us again after some time away!

And what a night to come back! We had a great time making up names for the cow characters none of us could identify...particularly the Chicago Bulls' mascot, Benny, who we named "Moo Moo", "Utter", and "Bessie". Round 5 saw everyone get the theme of writing utensils, even if not all of the answers were correct, and Round 6 saw higher point totals than everyone thought they would get with none of the teams receiving less than seven points. Guess between those two rounds, our logic and reasoning skills really came to the forefront.

Another piece of trivia I imparted to the teams in Round 7: the reason there are so many Subways in the world is that they have a corporate sponsorship with the US military, meaning there is essentially a Subway on every military base around the world. I would know: I'm a recovering Navy brat and have eaten at a handful of those sandwich shops! You can eat fresh all over the globe!

But after the cows went home, after we commiserated over the current state of Spider-Man in the MCU, and after all the sandwiches were eaten, The Implication came out on top for the night with newcomers to Slater's, the Bombay Ducks, and the Baby Cheeses rounding out the Top 3. Congratulations!

Have a great week, everybody! See you next time!

DISNEYLAND THEMED EVENT RECAP

Wow! What a whirlwind of a night! I feel like I just got off of the teacups and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin! Everything went by so fast due to the sheer amount of Disney passion and craziness in that room. Answer sheets were flying out faster than the papers at the Animation Academy and I felt like I was getting more questions than Crush in his aquatorium...but all in good fun!

I thought that if I had played, I would have done pretty well myself, but I was quickly put into place by Magic Happens who asked about the Animatronic from Mission to Mars by informing me that it had been redressed from a previous attraction, so she wasn't sure which one to go with...which is something I did not know!

But the Chernabog was in the details tonight as several teams got tripped up on the smaller things that make Disneyland so great. In Round 6, Humphrey's Service and Supplies as well as Oswald's Gas & Oil foiled a bunch of Double or Nothing's as many teams thought that one of them was found in Cars Land. Our drinking round - the first team to write down and submit every land in Disneyland and neighborhood/land in California Adventure - saw the first few teams to try their answer overlook Pacific Wharf...meaning they could go drown their sorrows in a bread bowl later.

Round 7 saw many hairs being split over what constituted an attraction, so I tried to be as specifically vague as possible in clarifying. Despite thinking it could enough to be open on opening day of Disneyland, Casey Jr. frustrated a lot of people since it "re-opened" later down the road, but still technically counted. And another good amount of Double or Nothing's were toppled by Dumbo, who did not receive his flying feather until about a month after Disneyland opened. This resulted in The Childless Millennials losing out on a perfect run, and one of the highest-scoring nights I've ever seen!

Couple shout-outs to give:

• Congratulations to our Top 3 teams and the winners for the evening: The Childless Millennials won the pot, with Twelve Park Club eking out a second place victory by getting closer to the total number of horses on the Carrousel, and Great Moments with Mr. Thinkin' taking home third prize.
• The spirit award for the evening went to Bring Back Ghost Galaxy 2019 for their upbeat attitudes, great Disney shirts and costumes, homage to a bug's land with one of their Heimlich headbands (which their normal team name is dedicated to), and masks brought straight from D23! Certainly a bunch of certified and proud Disney nerds!
• Best team name of the night has to go to No One Mansplains Like Gaston. Very clever and definitely got the biggest laugh when reading off the point totals.

Thank you for playing tonight, everybody! Have a magical rest of your days! Until next time!
