Weak Sauce with a Bit of Scotch

Tuesday night.  The Vic is packed for another quiz night with most of the regulars. 
The Jedi Knights arrived with a full team, ready to play mind tricks.

First timer, Christin, was able to snuggle up next to this table and hitch our wagon to  Wayne and Andy.  Christin and the two Scots from Edinburgh became our newest members of Weak Sauce.
 Jen has no trouble eating in front of our new teammates.

 The picture round would have been a disaster except for Wayne and Andy.  The mutilator picture (where they mush up a photo a bit, to make it more difficult) looked like Arsenio Hall, we guessed P Ditty and it was Kanye West.
 Hi Ellen!
 Marlin proving she takes great photos.  I'm photobombing her, but she really didn't need any bombing.  She bombed herself.
 Quizmaster Chris had a wee nap before the quiz, so he was fresh and sarcastic this night.
Quiz Questions:
Engineers have created the first unstealable what?
A gang of cannibals were recently found guilty of murder and selling meat pies with the bodies - what country?
Genesis is the first book of the bible - what is the second?
What is the main ingredient in guacamole?
In the Mr Men series of books, what color is Mr. Strong?
Who was the first lady of song?
What is the English word taken from the Turkish meaning Fate?
In the periodic table, what is the lightest metal?
What US star will join the Indian version of Big Brother?
Who was married to Bobby Brown?
What month was Martin Luther King's birthday?
Orchestra set up shop on the other side of the pub.  They had a full table with Mike and (British) friends visiting from the states.
Meanwhile, Andy was settling in as the new alpha male of Weak Sauce.
 Christin could be heard across the room.  We tried to encourage her to act like she'd been here before, but her enthusiasm got the best of her.  Christin has a great laugh.  At one point I was across the room next to Quizmaster Chris when she let out a guffaw.  He looked at me and said 'Is she your mate?'.  I nodded and nothing more was said.

Chris went old school for the pot of money this week.  Throw a nut in your mouth, win the £30 pot.
Three shots and this unlucky bloke came up empty.  What indignity will we do next week for £40? 


Sharing quiz battle stories after the match.  Weak Sauce tied for 5th out of 10.  Orchestra had a better showing at 4th and even Buffet lost this week.  The big winner was Shirley Basset - a team that comes with it's own basset hound mascot.  

Jerry and Andy ended the night with a sloppy debate on Scottish independence.

I think they still may be there.

LOVE the pictures of Lisbon and your description of your experience at the castle. Sometimes its the best "just being". So glad you found the right mountain to scale! And, yes, every Friday should resemble your Friday afternoon - so jealous!
