Quizzo tonight at Ugly American at 8 p.m. and Bards at 10:15 p.m. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO BUY QUIZZO BOWL TICKETS. Seriously, it’s gonna be a sellout before Saturday. So if you don’t have them yet either be there tonight or let me know something ASAP. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. As for tonight’s questions, I didn’t have time to make a new quiz, so mostly Irish, though I did have time to throw in a few hoops questions to get us in the mood. Steak Em Up will not be playing tonight, so it’s anybody’s ballgame at Bards. Hope to see ya tonight!
This is it, folks. I’m up to 220 tickets sold. I’ll have tickets for sale tonight (Thursday) at quizzo at Ugly American. After that, it’s every man for himself. We’re going to sell out before Saturday night. So don’t wait until Saturday night to get your tickets! Come see me tonight at quizzo. If that isn’t possible and you want tickets, shoot me an email and we’ll see if we can work something out.
Tickets started flying off the shelves last night. We’re up to 190 sold, meaning there are a mere 110 left. If you are going to buy them, again I would encourage you to not wait until the day of the event. There is a very decent chance we will be sold out by then. Buy your tickets from me tonight at the Locust Rendezvous or tomorrow at Ugly American or the Bards. I can assure you I’ll have tix left at those two locations. After that, you’re on your own.
Ok, today is questions day. Working on Quizzo Bowl questions all day long. If you’ve got any requests for topics to be covered in a question, leave them below in comments. I may or may not heed your advice. Oh, and be sure to get your brackets filled out before tomorrow to win your share of $150 in prizes. Password is goodtimes.
Irish Quiz Bomb starts tonight. All questions this week about Ireland, though as I said before, that covers a lot of territory. In addition to the Bounty Bowl at O’Neals tonight, there will be a dollar off Guinness at the Bards and plenty of Guinness giveaways. The Bards has been kinda quiet on Tuesdays lately, so you should have a good shot at a table. And be sure to get your Quizzo Bowl tix tonight. If you wait until the day of, the price goes up $5. Hope to see ya tonight!
Anyone who can come into O’Neals and knock off 6 time defending champs Lambda will walk away with $20 in addition to their gift certificate. Game time is 8 p.m.
Well, Denver had decided to respond in kind. Several members of Jesus and Tequila, the winners at Quizzo Bowl, will be in attendance at Quizzo Bowl VI, adding a whole new level of intensity to the proceedings. While Vegas has Lambda Lambda Lambda as a slight favorite over Sofa Kingdom, this Denver team has certainly got to be considered a top contender. They have been a powerhouse for years on the Denver Quizzo Circuit, and they pretty much whipped us at Geek Bowl.
Therefore, I need to share a few words with you, Philadelphia: YOU MUST WIN QUIZZO BOWL VI. I mean, it is imperative. If a team comes from some backwoods town out west and takes our trophy, it will be nothing short of disastrous both for the quizzo community and the city at large. You cannot let this happen. So study, Philadelphia! Waste countless hours on wikipedia like you’ve never wasted them before. Because this isn’t just about you any more. This is about your city, this is about your honor. Could you imagine what Ben Franklin would say* if a Denver team came in and took away our title? Everything all of our forefathers fought for to make this the smartest city in America would go right down the drain if some penny ante group of Mile High geeks from a 2nd World city came in and claimed our crown. Come on Philadelphia! This is your night! This is your time! Let’s do this!**
*Yes, I know he’s dead and would say nothing. That’s not the point I’m trying to make here.
That’s right folks, we’re doing it again. The JGT/iSportacus Bracket-tacular has become an annual event that causes me even more stress right before Quizzo Bowl is one of the highlights of the year. Just click here and enter the password goodtimes (group # is 83655). You need to get a yahoo account to play (It’s simple, takes 5 minutes) and the winner walks away with $100 in gift certificates to local restaurants. 2nd place hauls in $50. So get your picks in, then stand by and get slaughtered. My 95th place finish last year was a mirage. I went with my heart instead of my brain. This year I’ve crunched the numbers and studied the game film, and am guaranteeing a first place finish. Eat ‘em and smile.
Ok, folks, lots to talk about going into the weekend. First of all, get your Quizzo Bowl team together so you can buy your tickets at quizzo next week. We’re over 120 tickets sold, and I have about another 80 on standby, meaning that with a week to go, we have about 100 spots open. You do not want to miss this show. It will be one of the best shows in Philadelphia in 2010. Trust me on this one.
There are rumors circulating about me rapping and dancing at this year’s Quizzo Bowl. Sadly, I decided to retire the “song and dance” routine after last year’s Quizzo Bowl (above). Therefore, I will not be rapping and dancing at this year’s Quizzo Bowl. Please dismiss any rumors you hear to the contrary. They are attempts by malcontents to bring me out of retirement. Won’t happen. If you have any questions about Quizzo Bowl VI, please send me a message either by emailing me or by sending me a message on facebook.
New quizzo starting on Monday, March 22nd. Ok, so I won’t be hosting, but that is part of what will be fun about it, because I’m gonna try to play on some weeks. Mike Minion is going to start hosting a quiz on Monday nights at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. and the Westbury at 10:15 p.m. This will be his quiz, I’ll just be helping him promote it. In other words, he’s writing the questions. He’s telling me there will be a bit more cerebral questions and less pop culture than my quiz. (And I’m guessing that he’s going to be playing a lot of obscure 70s one hit wonders between rounds. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Gonna be interesting to see how it goes, but I’m excited to play.
Next week will be Irish Quiz Bomb Week at quizzo. All questions will be Irish related. Trust me, that will cover a lot of territory. I take “Irish” very loosely (i.e. there could be questions about Notre Dame, Boondock Saints, Lucky Charms, etc.) It’s gonna be fun.
However, there will be no quiz at the Black Sheep next week. If you think that we can pull off a quizzo at 8 p.m. at an Irish bar on St. Patrick’s Day, you’re nuts. All other quizzes are on, at least as of now. I’ll keep you updated, but as of now we’re on for the Rendezvous.
There will only be one group of quiz questions next week. Quizzo Bowl week is the one week of the year that Philly’s only true man of leisure can’t find a lot of time to create questions. The good news: Steak Em Up can only win once at the Bards next week. Thank God.
Oh-ho-ho my goodness. Looks like you've reached the home of Philadelphia's only true man of leisure, Johnny Goodtimes. On this site you'll find the results of my weekly quizzoes, I'll show you some of the strangest and most interesting spots on the web, and you can read my rants and praise for this city, the people in it, and the sports teams that play here.
