Trivia Rankings: 14 July 2021

What a great night of trivia, if not a great night for trivia (stupid rain – go to California where you’re needed!). Thanks to the many Quizlings who came out to play – and apparently brought their A Game. Very close match, as you can see by the scores below.

The topics ranged from pop culture painters to state pies to presidential nicknames. Plus there was this fun franchise with possibly odd beginnings…

Now, check out the team rankings for the week. Not sure if we’ve ever had that many ties before. It’s like Father’s Day!!!

Simonized

Simple Simon met a pieman

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

“Let me taste your ware.”

Says the pieman to Simple Simon,

“Show me first your penny.”

Says Simple Simon to the pieman,

“Indeed I have not any.”

Pretend it’s all just an innocent nursery rhyme if you want but I know this is the type of thing that would end up on an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit some time.
