It is your patriotic duty to attend tonight’s quizzo, as we will be honoring the grand ol’ US of A with tonight’s questions. Kick it off at Ugly American (2nd and Federal) at 8 p.m. where L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics are going for 5 straight. Then on to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. If you are frustrated because it is hard to get a table at my quizzos (I hear this complaint a fair amount), tonight is probably a pretty good bet to get a table. It’s been fairly mellow this week due to the holiday. Hope to see ya tonight!

We were a little slower last night than we have been in a long time. I think a fair amount of people have already left for vacation. What does that mean for you? It means that you’ll probably have a decent amount of luck finding a table tonight. Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m., Black Sheep at 8 p.m. All questions have a USA theme, more or less. So study up! As for pizza, well, I gotta admit, Chuck E. Cheese makes a decent pie. Video coming tomorrow. It should be a classic. See ya tonight!

This should be a good one. Me, My Little Brother, and Chip Chantry are off to grab pie. I’m not telling where on here, but you’ll know if you follow me on twitter. Be back this afternoon. In the meantime:

Why JC Romero should not get suspended.

Jose Garces highlighted in Philly Mag.

Best sentence we’ve read in a newspaper in a long time? “The Internet is both a help and a hindrance,” said longtime porn performer and producer Dave Cummings, who expects his next movie, “Knee Pad Nymphos Volume 10,” to fall victim to online thieves.
