Hey gang, I’m sorry I couldn’t let everybody know what their score was last night, but it just would have taken forever. So here are the final standings. Also, I’ll try to get everything caught up (last week’s stories, etc.) as soon as possible. I got a little backed up trying to put QBI together. Thanks for your patience!

There’s Johnny proved to know more useless knowledge than anyone else in Philadelphia, edging out the Sofa Kingdom and knocking off 41 other teams at a packed World Cafe Live on Sunday night. The Johnnies had to overcome a five point deficit heading into the final round to edge the Kingdom (below), 141-136.

Johnny Goodtimes, whose hair looked absolutely terrific, emceed the event, which also featured performances from the Man In Black, bellydancer Najia (Ern’s highlight of the evening), and Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers (below). Rosemary Fiki kicked off the Quizzo Bowl with a stirring rendition of “God Bless America”.

The Count of Monte Quizzo (below) finished third with a score of 131. There were 15 questions per round instead of the usual 10, thus the high scores. A perfect score would have been a 174. Heff Called, He Wants His Jacket Back won best team name, while Los Nachorinas won a free bottle of really bad champagne for finishing with the worst score, a 76.

Mitt Romney, whose name is Mitt Romney, is the governor of Massachussetts (That’s him, pictured above). When our fearless leader Ed Rendell offered him a bet, lobster vs. cheesesteaks, Mitt refused because cheesesteaks aren’t healthy. What? Being from Massachussettes, where eating a cheesesteak and holding a newborn baby require the same amount of delicacy (see Kerry, John), Mitt was obviously scared Mitt (I won’t be using the pronoun ‘he’ at all in this story)would come off as big of a pansy as Kerry did. Or, being a New England snob, Mitt probably won’t eat anything that doesn’t come with bibs or in chowdah form. Also, I’d like to remind our readers, his name is Mitt Romney! Now of course this would have been a non-issue if Mitt was confident the Patriots would win, b/c he wouldn’t have to eat said cheesesteak. But since Mitt (that’s his name) plans on crying on Ben Affleck’s shoulder on the night of the Super Bowl, Mitt thought Mitt better offer up something else.

Bobby Badtimes here, reminding you that Friday, January 28th is Wear Your Wig to Work Day! (By the way, mine’s not a wig, it’s a permanent.) Please do so, and send the resulting photos to me, so I can put them on the site. I’m begging you!

Here’s a good Philadelphia joke I thought I would share with you guys, sent to me by Miranda from Team hater.
Those of us dorks who enjoy really awful 80’s music (i.e. every person who’s ever played quizzo) were shocked and awed when we read this week’s Sports Illustrated:
But after dinner a buoyant (Freddie) Mitchell pointed his Mercedes toward his South Jersey home and cranked up the volume on one of his favorite anthems, singing every word of Don’t Stop Believin’, the moldy oldie by Journey.
Are you kidding me? FredEx is a Journey fan? The People’s Champ is…one of us?

Several of quizzo’s most succesful franchises made an appearance in today’s City Paper! CP did a preview of this weeks Quizzo Bowl. The big board in Vegas should have a line up at some point either today or tommorrow, so that illegal betting on Quizzo Bowl I can begin in earnest.
