Johnny Picks An Outfit
Johnny went outfit shopping for Quizzo Bowl 2 today, and let me just tell you this: I am advising all ladies to bring a cool, damp cloth to wipe off their foreheads, because when Johnny takes the stage, the temperature in the room is going to rise about 25-30 degrees. I am not bragging. This is simply a Public Service Announcement, so that we don’t have a bunch of screaming, fainting females ruining the fun for everyone else.
This is the funniest thing i have ever read. ever.
Most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Chuck Norris has 72… and they’re all poisonous. You have got to read this site. Thanks to Bret for sending it to me.
Some of the prizes we’re raffling off on Sunday
Hey gang, I’ve got some really cool FREE stuff to raffle off at Quizzo Bowl 2. I have 10 complimentary passes to the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, which will include tickets to the 4-D Deep Sea Theater. I also am giving away four tickets to see the Arena Football League’s Philadelphia Soul. I have four passes to the Franklin Institute, which each include a free ticket to see an IMAX. And Barrister’s Bar and Grille is supplying a $50 gift certificate. Best of all, you don’t have to be on the winning team to win any of this stuff, you just gotta be at Quizzo Bowl 2!
What would Johnny Rap???
It has been firmly established at this time that Johnny will not be rapping at Quizzo Bowl 2. There is simply no chance of it. But if he did, what do you think he should rap? Any songs in particular you would have like to have heard Johnny rap? You won’t hear him rap them, of course, because his rap career is over, and that is final. But it doesn’t hurt to create hypotheticals, does it? Post below in comments you would have liked to have heard Johnny rap before he retired from the game.
Question of the Week

Quizzo Bowl Q & A
Alright, here’s some FAQ’s regarding Quizzo Bowl 2:
Are all the questions going to be about the Super Bowl?
No, there will be very few questions about the Super Bowl. This is going to be a general quizzo, very similar to the usual quizzo, except with lots of prizes (I’l tell you tommorrow what they are), cash and glory for the winner, and two live bands and a magician.
How many players on a team?
Up to 8, same as usual. Though I’m sometimes lenient with teams of nine at regular quizzo, I will not be at this one. There would be picketers outside of future quizzoes if a team of nine won Quizzo Bowl.
What time should I show up?
Doors open at 6, and I would show up no later than 6:30 p.m. That’s when the Philadelphia Bluegrass Band takes the stage.
What time do you think we’ll be done?
I’m aiming to be done at 9:30 p.m., but it depends on the size of the crowd. We will be done no later than 10 p.m.
Will you be wearing a garish outfit for this event, Johnny?
Absolutely not. I will be dressed very conservatively.
Why would I bother attending this one, when I can just play for free anywhere else?
Because this is going to be unlike any quizzo you’ve ever been a part of. This, to me, is a huge party in which we bring together all of the quizzo teams from all the different bars around the city for one night a year. It is a celebration of our unique community, something found nowhere else in the country. There is no Quizzo Bowl in NYC, DC, or LA. I have tried hard to keep the ticket cost low and the entertainment value high. I honestly do not think you will find a better bargain for $10 in Philadelphia this year.
How much are tickets?
$10 if you buy them from me at quizzo or by going by the World Cafe Live before the day of the show. THye are $13 if you buy them online (due to processing fee) or on the day of the show.
Will you be rapping at this event, Johnny?
I can’t believe you had the nerve to ask me that question. I have made it abundantly clear that my rapping days are done. No, I will absolutely, unequivacally NOT be rapping at this event.
Haggis-Mania Running Wild!
A JGT quizzo regular is on the cover of today’s Daily News! Alec Campbell of Inflatable Haggis got totally screwed by the Philadelphia Parking Authority, and his angst got him the kind of publicity Johnny has been desperately seeking for years! Alec will be signing copies of today’s Daily News this Wednesday at the Black Sheep.
Pathetic
I can’t decide which is more embarrassing, the comments made by a local Chief Inspector Joseph Fox, or the fact that the Inquirer even quoted this f****** idiot. In response to the rash of murders in Philadelphia, what was Fox’s defense for the s*** job that he and his department do of solving the murders? Oh, it’s the victim’s fault. You see, the majority of the murders this past year were “bad guys on bad guys.” Apparently every person who has ever spent a day in jail is a terrible human being, and deserves to be murdered. I can’t f***** believe this jerk, a person who’s mind sees things in the same way as a 4 year old child, is in a position of power. That, to me, is just as much of an embarrasment to this city as the murder rate.
Happy Birthday!
Don’t usually post on Sunday’s but I wanna give a shout out to Sam Cooke on his 75th birthday. Sam Cooke is my favorite soul singer of all time. I have never heard the song, “Change is Gonna Come” without getting a chill down my spine. If you have not heard much Sam Cooke I implore you to run out and pick up a greatest hits album. You’ll thank me for it.
