Controversy at Nick’s!

nicks_2nd_12_9 (Custom).jpgControversy erupted, as it seems to every week, after last nights Quizzo at Nick’s Roast Beef. In overtime, the Plaster of Paris Hilton won second place (Worth $25) when one of their team members was able to spell Baryshnikov correctly. However, it was discovered early this morning after a thorough investigation that the man who spelled the great dancer’s name correctly was none other than the world renowned Krazylegs Kruschev, who danced with Mikhail at the Russian School of Ballet from 1969-1973! The picture below, taken in 1972, clearly proves it! The Johnny Goodtimes Ethical Committee is looking into any possible improprieties. A spokesman for third place finisher Coochie Kream said that the team was “piping mad.”

The Cousin F@%&’ Monkeys Win

a collection of one woman and three lonely men who struggle to keep their fires lit and cabins warm, were able to come out on top on a hoary night at Nick’s. Plaster of Paris Hilton was able to win second in overtime, moving past the Coochie Kream.

Troy McClures Aided by Troy McClure

Jams Hold Off Bullies

centresquare_12_9 (Custom).jpgThe Jams were able to squeak by the Bullies as Frank Clements hottest rivalry heated up again at Centre Square Bar and Grille. The Bullies, who had joined forces with once bitter enemies Dewey and Howe, were one letter away from spelling Baryshnikov right, which would have given them the title. Instead the Jams came away with the 95-93 win.

Goodtimes Receives Death Threat!

letter-s.jpgJohnny Goodtimes received a death threat a few days ago, and the Johnny Goodstapo was immediately called into action. “It was a friendly letter,” said Johnny, “But then at one point the writer said ‘they could tell me, but they’d have to kill me’. I think it was a throwaway comment, based on something Tom Cruise said in the 1985 box office sensation Top Gun. But in these troubled times, you can really never be too cautious.” Things got worse a couple of days later. “I got another letter, this one apologizing for the remark, but letting me know that ‘this is the way South Philly girls roll.’ Needless to say, I called the Johnny Goodstapo on the double.” Baron von Weinerschnitzel (below) has been head of the Goodstapo since 1922. “This isn’t the first time this has happened. You’ve got to remember, Johnny is an international mega-star, so these things are bound to occur. But ever since Johnny got his ass handed to him by that broad at the aquarium, we’ve had to be even more vigilant.”

Nation Keeps It Real

nicks_12_3 (Custom).jpgThe Nation of Quizlam was able to squeeze past the Atari Monkeys on Wednesday at Nick’s Roast Beef, 92-89. But they wouldn’t have been able to do it without their friends-from the rap group N.W.A.! “That MC Ren is a lot smarter than people give him credit for,” said team leader Otis “Silver” Spoons. “And Ice Cube knows a lot about state capitols, which paid off in the wildcard round.” But it was Eazy E who really came through in round four, scoring the bonus question right and taking the team over the top. “The Boys N Da Hood are not only hard,” continued Otis, “But they’re smart as well!”

Dewey, Bully, and Howe Win Inaugural!

Shortly after the contest, DB & H received a telegraph from the 1903 Boston Pilgrims, who won the first ever World Series. “They just said that they knew how we were feeling, both being the winner of huge inaugural events and all,” said DB & H member Rollie Cornwright. “They also said that they would buy us a round, but they can’t because they’re all dead.”

Whiskey Lou Rips Monkey From Back

docwatsons_12_1-(Custom).jpgThe Whiskey Lou Rebellion, playing in honor of a favorite judge who recently passed away, were able to rip the monkey from their backs in convincing fashion on Monday, fighting off the Moe Syslack Experience, 91-86. The Rebellion, who had won the first quizzo they had participated in, months ago, and had not won since, were relieved to get a win. “Those monkeys were poorly behaved. They would hurl their own feces, screech through the night, and stab me with their swords,” said team member Sal Alamo. “I’m glad that’s all done with.”
