No Soup for… Who!? (Shanahan’s)

We had dueling Soup Nazis at Shanahan’s on Tuesday, and man did that make for some contentious quizzing! “No soup for you!” “NO! No soup for YOU!” Let’s face it, most of us weren’t getting any soup, because only one team gets to walk out with the big pile o’ bread.

With 47 people playing, there were three teams in the Challenge Round — but when we get so close to the 50 player/5 team cut-off, the pots can get really big! Assisted with my two Soup Nazis, I read out the top three teams (Her First Mistake, Stumbling Drunks, and That’s What She Said) — well, check that, I read the first, second and FOURTH team, which is when the Soup Nazi’s explained there’d be NO SOUP for 4th, which was C U Next Tuesday.

Now, a note here: I do feel badly about this. In retrospect, not the nicest way to run a Pub Quiz, and if I had known that C U Next Tuesday would only miss the Challenge Round by ONE POINT, I would’ve never have orchestrated such an elaborate ruse. My deepest apologies, C U Next Tuesday. I do indeed hope to see you next Tuesday.

But the rest of the Challenge Round went off without a hitch — none of the teams new the answer, Stumbling Drunks bet zero, and they ended up taking home the bit pot. Second place That’s What She Said were happy just to grab some cash, and Her First Mistake got the “thumbs up” and nothing else. The Drunks wanted their picture with me in it this week — who am I to say no to that?

That’s all for this week. Don’t forget to tell your friends about my FACEBOOK PAGE and will someone please actually link to my TWITTER FEED? Come on, share the love!
