Scratch ‘n’ sniff is not always the best policy! Pour House Trivia Wednesday Recap!
Pour House pub trivia‘s Wednesday hopefully didn’t punk(‘d) you, but boy we had fun with our eight games of live trivia! We had a guest appearance from SNL Weekend Update great Angela Merkel (who, I’m led to understand, also runs Germany!), chowed down with Ronald McDonald and took a trip to the Himalayas! Check out the games!
Atlantic Grille – Urbana, MD
Our winners tonight went wire to wire for the win over a tough group of trivia teams! Congrats to “I Do My Killing After Breakfast!” on a fine game of pub trivia tonight! 
Now..2nd Place…mmhhmm, here’s the thing – to blow an early NINE and come back to Top 3, against the crew of pub trivia teams that lurk in Hagerstown, MD, is rock star! And props on getting Man With the Yellow Hat on 6! Great game y’all! 
3rd Place went to my old friends, “Spunky’s Angels.” They took a little hiatus from me, and came back tonight and showed they still got it! Great to see you tonight ladies! Let’s not make it another 2 seasons 🙂 
Bennigan’s – Clarksburg, Maryland
The Cellar Door – Frederick, MD
Another great game of live trivia unfolded today at Cellar Door. With 11 teams playing, it was close right up until the final question with some serious movement at the top after it was all said and done, and a tie had to be broken for second and third place. Team Wednesday had the lead throughout the entire game with a very strong showing but was unable to get the correct answer on the final and lost a tiebreaker to finish in third. Coming in at 2nd place was a newer team, one of only two teams to get the final question, was Retainer? I Hardly Even Knew Her! winning the tiebreaker with a near correct guess on E.T.’s total box office earnings. Going into the 3rd round, one team appeared poised to take the lead from Team Wednesday, but after dropping a nine wager and bonus on the first question of the 4th round, all hope seemed lost. However, it turns out they were not done, as taking down the win with a correct answer on the final to secure the comeback was One Crow Short of a Murder! Congrats! The category for next week is Cellar Door’s very own waitress Jill Emery, so looks like it’s time to start studying up! Sam will be back on the mic next week, thanks for making my training experience a great one! -Chad
The Olney Tavern – Olney, MD
Two weeks in a row, we’ve had a SWAG-tastic evening at the Tavern. We had a lot of fun giving away some extra stuff, so thanks again to the Tavern for making that happen with tonight’s round of live trivia! We had a wild game, with teams moving all over the leaderboard, and a final question that really shook it up! Ronald McDonald and his big ol’ feet caused quite a ruckus! In third, Quiz in my Pants! In second, newcomers The Blue Team! Great job as a duo, folks. In first, Only the Lonely! In keeping with their interesting hobbies as first category choices, to kick it off next week, we will discuss warm glass! Tripp
Revolution Bar – Fairfax, Virginia
They took last week off, but Wee Baby Seamus came back to T.J. Stone’s in Alexandria with a stellar performance, as they had 12-point lead heading into the final question. After deciding whether to play for at worst a tiebreaker, or to try to clinch it, they went for it, and got the final answer to seal the deal. New in Town took second with Reverse Polarity taking third. We’ll begin next week with a question on the film “American Psycho”. ~ Matt
Valley Grill – Middletown, MD
Wow that was one GREAT GAME of live trivia at Valley Grill, y’all got pretty rowdy! The final certainly settled it all, with Dufregne Party of 4 taking first, Southpaw Fish in second, and Capt. Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters in 3rd! Our first category for next week is the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. ~ Ronnie
