Screwed the Pooch Wins; Quizlam Sinks

nicks_03_25 (Custom).jpg Don’t call it a comeback. Screwed the Pooch came from 12 points down in the final round to knock off the Nation of Quizlam at Nick’s Roast Beef by 13 points. Sadly the Nation, who had the double digit lead heading hit into the final stanza, hit an iceberg midway through the fourth round. The disaster was so dramatic, so amazing, that Leo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet have already been signed to do a really awful movie about it.

Dwayne Injured; Team Soldiers On

doc_watsons_03_25 (Custom).jpg Despite dealing with an injury to Dwayne, who fell off his skateboard in the opening credits, the team of Dwayne, Rerun, Rog, and Shirley were able to pull away in round four at Doc Watson’s Quizzo on Monday. The Quizard of Oz finished second. Later it was discovered that the team had been grounded and shouldn’t have been out at all, something which came to light when Dee showed up. “Ooooh, I’m gonna tell mama!” she stated before storming out the door.

NCAA bows to pressure from goodtimes

With the game scheduled for 7:30 p.m., officials were contacted by Goodtimes, who had a quizzo scheduled for 8 at the Good Dog. “It was one of those things where you make adjustments just to stay on the right side of a megastar like Goodtimes,” said NCAA president Myles Brand. “We piss him off, and the next thing you know, nobody’s watching this little tournament of ours.” The game was moved to 9:50 p.m., just when quizzo should be ending.

We’re Number One!

Picture 010.jpg After the devastating losses of three consecutive NFC title games, Philadelphians can finally raise their heads up high again-We’re #1! We’re the ugliest people in America! Nobody, and I mean nobody, is any uglier than we are! Well, I mean you guys are. Johnny was voted by the same publication to be “sexiest quizzo host in america” (have you seen the new moustache?) We also tend to be extremely unfriendly. Well, just for that, the magazine who did this stupid survey can go f*** itself. And as far as most stylish goes, we finished near the bottom their, too. Well, I feel like I dropped the ball on that one. As Philly’s style ambassador, I feel like my winter collection was a little weak. I promise to step it up in the spring time. (P.S. The above photo captures the best of both worlds-the ugly, unfriendly jerks who kicked me out of a certain “historic” bar on New Years Day. Did you really think I was going to let that die? Did you?)

Camera Problems

Due to camera problems experienced this week, I do not have pics of the winners. However, I did my best to keep the fans happy. Everything will be back up and running by next week.

Quizaholicas Anonymous Win At Watson’s

angelina_thumb.JPGThe Quizaholics Anonymous won at Doc Watson’s on Monday night, squeaking past Your Mom’s On Tap, 102-97. One of the first round round questions was, “What Hollywood superstar doesn’t have time for relationships, so she just has sex in hotel rooms with her friends? Answer: Angelina Jolie. Which brings up this point: If anyone sees or talks with Angelina in the next few weeks, please tell her I’m a great listener, a good shoulder to cry on, and I have no problem keeping secrets.

Johnny Goes to Flower Show; Isn’t Pansy

pansy.bmp Johnny Goodtimes went to the flower show on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean that he’s some sort of sissy, reports from Chinatown indicate. “There were a lot of other men there,” said Johnny, though critics were quick to point out that most of them were either married or at the very least had a date. Johnny went on to say that he’ll probably have pansies in his garden this year, but that he isn’t one. “I mean, yeah, I get my ass kicked a lot, but I usually get a couple of lucky shots in here and there.”
