Sometimes in the world of Pub Quiz there is a handout so brilliant and insightful that the entire crowd comes up to you after the quiz and says: ‘Man that handout was incredibly creative and remarkably fun!’.
Yea… nothing like that happened last night at the Thirsty Lion… LOL!! The feelings about the riddle handout were relayed to me on the chorus of ‘Boo’s!’ resounding through the walls of the Lion. It’s all good though… you can’t have a kick ass quiz every week… although that is what we strive for here at Pub Quiz… so I’m going to write the riddle handout off as an enigma and never mention it again!!
But… we had three other GREAT rounds last night that made up for the ridiculous riddles and brought some smiles to the riddle haters… hehe. Carl Perkins was the one who stumped most folks on the Rockstar picture handout (he wrote Blue Suede Shoes for Elvis btw). And everyone enjoyed the journey through rock videos in the Video Round 2. I saw heads bopping to Joan Jett and Big hair 80’s Bon Jovi don’t deny it!!
We let five teams into the final round ‘Mostly Confused’, ‘Hansel… He’s so hot right now!’ (My favorite team name of the night btw) and ‘Gutted Salmon’ all made it but missed out on the cash when they wagered it all and wound up with ‘0′. Which left ‘Scooby’s Red Rocket’ in second and ‘The Good, The Bad and The Wally’ taking the crown for the second night in a row!! Do I smell dynasty??
