Here’s a post I just put up on iSportacus. I think you’re gonna dig it. It’s the recipes and histories of the most famous foods from the homes of the Final Four teams.

After we played Mike’s quiz at Ugly American (very hard but very fair quiz), we went to New Wave. Good trivia, written by Pat, though I like MIke’s questions a little bit better. (Oh, and no 2nd place prize, which is kind of lame.) One question we missed was about Westworld, which I had never heard of until last night. Anybody see this film and care to give a movie review in the comments? Is it worth watching? The trailer makes it look completely insane and kind of awesome. Just curious.

Yes, I know it’s nasty out. You’re thinking, “If only drinking and answering trivia questions could help clear those clouds away”. Well guess what? They can! I have been told by certain “Sources” that if you attend quizzo tonight, the entity in charge of such things is going to bless us with a beautiful weekend. But only if you play quizzo tonight. So hey, it’s in your hands.

Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m., where the Ear is coming off an upset of Lambda, then moves on to the Bards, where there is usally room for you and your squad to grab a table. If you have a big team and have a hard time getting a table, this is the spot for you. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!

And in the meantime, let me know who your favorite Phillie is.

Congratulations to Meritage, who won the foodie quiz I did at Whole Foods on Friday night. A very cool event, and all of the money went to a great program called the Whole Planet program. Learn more about it here. Thanks to Jen for putting it on and thanks to Whole Foods for having me. Since we were in Jersey and there were few regulars, I expect to maybe se a few food questions tonight.

I know there are a lot more films that could go here, but these are four of my personal favorites in this category. Any more, post them below in comments (btw, must give all praise due: this was inspired by a John Finger tweet yesterday.)

Mike Minion is hosting quizzo tonight, and I think I might play. Anybody interested in playing? Action starts at Ugly American (where I am thinking of playing) at 8 p.m. Mike will also be at the Westbury tonight at 10:15 p.m. It is Mike’s quiz, even though I am promoting it here, so there is no chicanery involved. He has said that his quiz will have a bit less pop culture than mine and be slightly more difficult. We’ll see. Anyways, get at me if you want to either play with me or against me. I would suggest against, since truth be told, I am not very good at quizzo. There, the cat’s out of the bag.

Last week a veritable Nor’easter didn’t allow enough people to make it out to Ugly American for a game, but we had a nice turnout at the Westbury, and here were the top 3 scores. I’ll have photos up on the site this week of the top finishers.

1. Cathy Drove 91
2. No Duane, No Problem 88
3. Reser”vous” Dogs 74

Hope to see ya tonight!

Almost 30 years later, and still one of the greatest beats in hip hop history.

Pretty rare that I host quizzo on a weekend, and yet this weekend I host two! For those of you who are food fans, Head on over to Marlton, NJ to play Foodie quizzo tonight at 7 p.m. at Whole Foods. It’s gonna be a lot of fun, and your $5 admission goes to a great cause. All questions will be food related. For more info, check it out on facebook.

Then, on Saturday, we head back to South Street to play Census Quizzo. Those of you who are big fans of American history should check this one out. (And for those of you who think I ask too many pop culture questions, this is your night.) Action starts at 7. Seating is limited so I would suggest arriving a little bit early. WInning team gets 5 Phillies luxury box tickets and a meeting with the Mayor. Gonna be a great quiz, and it starts at 7 p.m. Hope to see ya this weekend!
