5 Minute Guide to Quizzo Bowl

Posted on February 19, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

WHO: You, me, Chip Chantry, Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez, and the West Philadelphia Orchestra

WHAT: Quizzo Bowl VI. The premiere quizzo event on Earth. The previous five have all been epic, and this year’s promises to be no different. There will be four rounds of 12 questions each (That’s 8 bonus questions!) Teams can have up to 8 members.

WHEN: March 20th, 2010 at 8 p.m. sharp. Doors open at 7 p.m.

WHERE: TLA (334 South Street). Historic Live Arts venue at 3rd and South. Going to be unlike anywhere we’ve ever held a quizzo bowl.

WHY: Why not? Tix are $25, and I assure you that you will get your money’s worth. And keep in mind that I will be giving away $1400 in prize money to the top 3 finishers as well as tons of random giveaways throughout the night. You are going to love the band, the halftime performance is going to be hilarious, and the questions will be drawn from my gold reserve of great questions. Oh, and if you win, you will be a quizzo immortal.

If anyone has any further questions, please post them in the comments below and I’ll be glad to answer.

UPDATE: Afterparty will be at O’Neals. Spoonie has promised to have good drink specials for us at the party.

Right Now on iSportacus

With a hockey team that is on hiatus and a basketball team that is simply awful, we have been focused on the Winter Olympics. I think we’ve got some pretty good, original coverage.

How curling is a lot like World War Two.

BMT rants against the IOC for making goalies take messages off their masks.

My buddy Duff (the same one who used to host quizzo at the Rendezvous) is now living in Vancouver, and giving us a birds eye view of what’s going on in the city these days.

Poll: Do You Like the Picture Round?

Posted on February 17, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

Been doing a lot of picture rounds lately. Finally got my printer fixed, so I felt like I had to make up for lost time. Anyways, wanna see what you guys think about the picture round. Some people say it’s too dark at the bars to see what the hell is on the sheets. At the same time, I get a lot of cheering every time I announce picture round. So what’s the verdict?

Chip Chantry in My Backyard

Chip Chantry in Johnny Goodtimes’ Backyard from Secret Pants on Vimeo.

Last year, we had two of the greatest comedy shows in Philadelphia history in my backyard, something we’re hoping to do again this summer. Here is a clip of Chip Chantry in one of them. Chip’s going to be doing a little bit of stand up at Quizzo Bowl VI, as well as playing host in what is sure to be one of the most epic halftimes ever. And when you consider that our halftimes have included healthy belly dancers, the Legendary WID, and a Chinese Dragon troupe, that’s saying something.

Quizzo Tonight

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

Kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., then move onto Bards at 10:15 p.m. Rumors of some comedy at halftime of the Bards contest. We’ll see. Yes, I will have Quizzo Bowl tickets on me and yes there will be some Winter Olympics questions. And there are rumors, thus far unfounded, of there being another picture round tonight.

JGT Quizzo Power Rankings

Posted on February 16, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

The JGT QPR computer was left out in the snow last week, and thus is only spitting out the top 5. We’ll be back up to a top 10 next week.

L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. 6 wins and counting at the Ugly American. Bounty is up to $20 this week. Last week: #2
Steak Em Up. Just when you think they can’t sink any lower dignity wise, they combine forces with the Axis of Evil Knieval on Thursday. What’s next, a duo with the Jams? Perhaps see if Ken Jennings is free? Maybe bring in Stephen Hawking for any potential science questions? Last week: #1
Lambda. Another win at O’Neals. This team seems to really be getting in shape for Quizzo Bowl, despite a 2nd place finish at the Bards on Thursday. Last week. #5
The Jams. A bye week due to the snow. Last week: #4
Ivan the Trivial. Once front runners at O’Neals, they are now playing catch up to Lambda.

Dimitri the Lover Returns With Some Timely Advice

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

Some of you might be wondering…what is the best day of the entire year to seduce sluts?According to our good friend Dimitri the Lover, today is the day: Bearing these keen observations in mind and integrating them with over 15 years of epidemiological slut seduction study data, Dimitri The Lover has found that THE DAY AFTER VALENTINE’S DAY is by far the best single day out of each year to seduce sluts …FORGET trying to pick up sluts ON VALENTINE’S DAY, in that their expectations are WAY TOO UNREALISTICALLY HIGH. However, every year on February 15th, Dimitri The Lover collects dozens of telephone numbers and books his lovemaking schedule well into the spring. And luckily this year the 15th falls on a MONDAY, so any slut that did not have herROMANTIC expectations fulfilled on the weekend will have the negative psychological effects greatly exacerbated by the impact of waking up to the dreaded MONDAY start to her work or school week, right in the middle of high season for SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER!

Often the most spiritually wounded of these ROMANTIC WALKING DEAD will mope around in a robotic state for weeks, exclaiming to their closest friends and co-workers that they have “given up on men”. This extended pathological rumination period makes them especially vulnerable to being systematically picked apart by whatDimitri The Lover sinisterly (yet lovingly) refers to as a“ROMANCE VULTURE”…Once the ROMANCE VULTURE has encircled the pre-qualified crowd, his talons armed with the most powerful set of seduction tools known to mankind, he can easily identify his prey by the stench of her ROTTING DEAD HEART.

Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that a documentary about Dimitri is coming out soon. A new trailer for the movie is out, and it is astounding (and NSFW). Porno snowmen, and romance vultures seducing sluts. What in the hell is happening to this once proud website?

Frosty the Pornowman

Posted on February 12, 2010 by Johnny Goodtimes| View Comments

The picture above has no pornographic connotations. It’s just a big damn snowman down the street from my house. But this snow figure, well, I’m not even sure it’s safe for work. Of course, that creation is nowhere near as disturbing as this snow porn scene. And this one isn’t much better. Now, before you get all “The whole world is going straight to hell”, please be advised that porno snowmen are nothing new. The following from something called PJonline: “the first recorded lewd snowmen (and snow-women) appeared in 1511, when the residents of Brussels, in a fit of anti-establishment anger, filled the city streets with hundreds of pornographic and political snow sculptures.”
