L.A. quiz recap: Sunday, Mar 17

The report from our western quizmaster, Mr. Daniel Halden…

What a festive St. Patrick's Day at BQTLA! Seven select teams tested their trivia prowess in a quest to find their very own pot of gold (which, in this case, included $200). A festive audience was treated to multimedia delights such as "Drunken Irish Drinking Songs," the "So What's Missing?" video round, the "Music in 3-D" audio round and much more. In the end, three teams were left standing, all topically named: He Still Has That New Pope Smell, Valerie's Family, and Pope Francis the 69th. As someone may want to point out to Benedict XVI, there is only room for one pope at a time, and in this case it was New Pope Smell, which swept the finale thanks to their knowledge of George Jefferson and Kentucky Fried Chicken. The representative for New Pope Smell in the finale, who led his team to victory? A smart gentleman by the name of... Patrick. Irish eyes must indeed have been smiling.

As always, the BQT is at Busby's East the third Sunday of the month—meaning we're back on April 21. Miss and cry.
