Spiro Agnew Got a Raw Deal
Spiro Agnew Got A Raw Deal was finally able to get to the proverbial mountaintop at Doc’s on Monday night, even joining the 100 point club. The team, out and about town to promote the new movie “Spiro Agnew 3-D” on IMAX, says that this is a “must-see” for Nixon fans and tax evaders. The film, in which Henry Winkler will play Agnew, comes to the Franklin Center IMAX in February.
Beware My Wrath!!! by Bobby Badtimes
Does anyone really give a s*** about Saturn’s moon? I mean, seriously. We can’t afford to lower class sizes, we can’t afford to adequately protect our troops in Iraq, but we can afford to help the Europeans send a spaceship to Saturn’s moon? And oooh, aren’t those pictures pretty! Almost like grey mud! I say, no more money for this stupid space exploration unless we go somewhere where we will definitely find aliens.
Pompeiian Porn Perplexes Publication
Philly Mag refused to run an ad created by the Brownstein Group for the restaurant Pompeii because it was a little too racy (Even saucier than the one above! For more info about Pompeiian porn and more saucy pics, click here). Here’s more info, from Michael Kline’s Inqlings column yesterday:
Ad-itude adjustment
No sex allowed in Philadelphia Magazine. On the other hand, the rival Philadelphia Style is all for it.
The Brownstein Group, an ad shop that reps the Center City restaurant Pompeii, created a print ad based on the image of a 2,000-year-old Pompeiian fresco. The fresco depicts a man and a woman in a compromising position.

12 FAQ about Quizzo Bowl
Here’s a few questions a lot of people have about Quizzo Bowl. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me. You can order tickets here.
1. Will it only be questions about the Superbowl?
Absolutely not. This will be just like a regular quizzo, running the gamut from entertainment to history to science, with perhaps a few Super Bowl questions.
2. What’s the team size limit?
Eight players on a team is the limit. No exceptions.
3. What are you going to do about cheating?
It will probably be a “Big Brother” type thing, where if you see another team cheating, report it to me and I’ll have a word with the team in question. If it happens twice, that team is eliminated. I’ll also have “spies” in the crowd.
4. Can I get my tickets at the door?
Yes, but they do cost $12 at the door, $10 beforehand.
5. What’s the best way for us to order tickets?
I would suggest one player on the team order for everyone online, that way you are assured of everyone having the same table. Then have everyone pay them back.
6. How many questions are there going to be?
To be honest, I have yet to decide whether there will be 40 or 50 questions. There will be no more than 50.
7. Did you say bellydancers?
Yes. The Halftime show will include bellydancers. I’ll give you more info as soon as I have officially signed the one I want.
8. Does this place have a bar?
Yes, this is a bar. In fact, if you plan on not drinking and not eating any food, I encourage you not to attend. I mean, I have no problem with people not wanting to drink booze, but if you don’t I do ask you to grab a bite to eat at least. Here’s why: I have been hired by this bar to bring people in, obviously in the hopes of creating revenue. I would really like to host more shows at this venue in the future. If everybody comes after they already ate and drinks water, I won’t be asked back. It’s that simple.
9. Is it $300 for the winner or $500 for the winner?
It’s $300 cash for the winner, $125 cash for 2nd, $50 gift certificate for 3rd, and $25 gift certificate for fourth, making up a total purse of $500.
10. Can I just watch and not play?
No. Why would you? It’s still going to be fun, whether or not you have a chance of finishing first. Plus, it’s been my experience that people who are not playing are a lot more likely to shout out answers.
11. What time does it start?
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. The festivities will probably begin around 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m.
12. Is it gonna be fun, even if my team has no real shot of winning?
Have you ever been to an event that included belly dancers that wasn’t fun? Yes, we’ll have raffles and things like that too, so you don’t have to win the quizzo to walk out with something kool.

Mr. Blackwell Releases Worst Dressed List
Mr. Blackwell released his worst female dressers from 2004. Paris Hilton, who finished in fifth place, was punished by having to pump sewage in New Jersey. Goobie probably thinks Paris is hot (see message board “most overrated hottie” for more details).
Hello, This is Russell Jones…Uh, No I’m not the Ol’ Dirty Bastard
This is absolutely hilarious. This is the true story of a nerdy white guy in Brooklyn who constantly got calls from ODB’s peeps because he shared the same name and was listed (ODB’s real name was Russell Jones). I know what he’s been through. People always mistake me for Big John Studd.
