Irish Pub Quiz Triva Question #2
I’ve played in a lot of Pub Trivia Quizzes in Kansas City over the last several years, and I’ve hosted quite a few also, but the most enjoyable quiz I’ve played in takes place every Friday at 7pm at The Brick, downtown on McGee by 17th Street.
Back when I started playing, in the heyday of Gerald Seymour’s Pub Quiz at O’Dowd’s on the Plaza, there was a generous smattering, bias really, of Irish questions. At The Brick however they are as rare as an Irish accent - a real one that is. On Friday gone there was another rare chance to answer an Irish question, but I failed.
Q. What Irish novelist ended up with the woman who previously went out with Oscar Wilde?
A. Florence Balcome was the woman, and she married the other Irish writer, who I should at least have guessed given that the writers were neighbours in my hometown of Dublin - Mr. Bram Stoker.
