Some people were wondering what I was talking about this week when I had my “Full On Double Rainbows” Round. Here it is. Enjoy.

First of all, the colonial photos are a hoot! The physical challenge is to show me a picture of a team member or two with someone in a colonial outfit, and several teams have chomped at the bit. You’ve got until tomorrow at 3 p.m. to earn points with a colonial photo!

As for tonight, things have been bumping the last couple of Thursdays, and we’ve been having a lot of fun. First off tonight, the Ugly American. Quizzo start there at 8 p.m. Dollar off all drafts and $1 Corn dogs. And trust me, the corn dogs are really good. These are the best $1 corn dogs you’ve ever eaten.

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m., where the past few weeks have been like old times, with good crowds on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. A great chance to score points, as after Steak Em Up different teams seem to finish 2nd and 3rd every week. And of course at least two teams tonight will win free fries, and I have some totally sweet last place prizes. (I think the guy who won the “Sleepless in Seattle” nightgown at O’Neals was this week’s big winner.) Hope to see you tonight!

Last week’s speed round: What are the ways that Bubba thinks that Shrimp can be prepared? Bubba gives the answers above.

The JGT Empire expands into Manayunk tonight as Mike Minion takes his quiz to the Terrace Taproom. I’ve played Mike’s quiz. I’ve also been the Manayunk. I am predicting that the winning score tonight is a 45. I keed, I keed! The Terrace Taproom is apparently an excellent bar with a very interesting beer selection. And I have to admit, I am dying to see how Mike goes over in the ‘Yunk. I kind of like tonight’s theme round. I think I might play. Regardless, now that he’s got two quizzes, I am expecting twice as much carpentry this week. Here’s what Mike’s gotta say:

Tonight is the kick-off for a new quizzo venue!  Starting this evening, The Terrace Taproom in Manayunk (2847 Terrace Street) will be the site of the early Monday quiz.  The debut takes place at 7 PM.  The Taproom is only three blocks from the Wissahickon Transportation Center (and one block from the corner of Ridge and Manayunk), so it’s not to difficult to reach, should any of our Center City regulars wish to give it a try.   And by the way, the owner tells me the folls from Magic Hat Brewery will be there tonight with some great beer specials and lots of prizes.  Should make for a very festive opening night!

The Westbury quiz continues to build drama.  We’ve had three different winners in the past 4 weeks, and the crowd is usually quite lively.  Tonight’s theme round is 1980′s sitcoms, which really opens up the field.  This is a great opportunity to get points in the JGT Invitational.  Who knows, with a pop-culture theme like this, even JGT himself may give it a try!  As a bonus, tonight’s tap special isGreat Divide Brewery’s 16th anniversary double IPA at $4.  Starting time is 10:30, as usual.

Hope to see you at one of the venues tonight. May the sun never set on the JGT Empire!
