Alright, single ladies

Today’s the day! Today, you’ll know for sure whether or not you’re going to get married! This from wikipedia:
In North America, unmarried women were frequently told that if they sat in a darkened room and gazed into a mirror on Halloween night, the face of their future husband would appear in the mirror. However, if they were destined to die before they married, a skull would appear. The custom was widespread enough to be commemorated on greeting cards from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Sounds like fun! Go for it, girls!

The 4th Annual Halloween Spooktacular

Well, gang, it’s here again. Time for the 4th annual Halloween Spooktacular! All questions will have a Halloween theme, and Johnny will be giving away a lot of candy. Especially on Wednesday and Thursday, after the bottom has dropped out of the candy market. Ha ha, just kidding, Tuesday quizzo goers. Sort of. And Tuesday will be the first time that Halloween has actually fallen on a quizzo night, so anybody wears a Halloween outfit will earn a bonus point for their team (up to 5 points per team.) Each team can play only once this week.

Around the Horn

-Wow, what a great weekend to be a football fan at Lincoln Financial Field, as Philly’s favorite fooball team, the Temple Owls, pulled out a victory after 20 straight losses. The win over the same Bowling Green team that beat them 70-14 last year proved that they are no longer college football’s doormat.

-There was also a pro game at the Linc yesterday, but the dangerously high dose of liquid Valium I took following the game has caused me to forget what happened.

Camden is no longer America’s most dangerous city! Hooray Camden! Why, I think I’m going to walk over to North Camden after the movie tonight to join in the celebration! Bonus Camden Fun Fact: There was a pro basketball team in Camden in the 1960s. They were called the Bullets. I’m not kidding.

K-Fed’s having to cancel his concerts. Apparently, nobody is buying tickets! I think people are just scared to “Play With Fire!” (notice the fire in his drink! So cool!)

Teen Witch tonight at the Troc

First of all, I want it stated on the record that Teen Witch was entirely Preston and Steve’s idea (The guys from WMMR). I had nothing to do with the selection of this film, so you can stop calling me a pansy right now. However, after talking to numerous members of the opposite sex, apparently this is a fun and goofy movie, and women seem to really like it. Translation: Guys, I think there are going to be women there tonight, and if you pretend like you like this dumbass film, these chicks will dig you. Big time. So be there.

Chip Chantry and I return with the Wheel of Terrific, Halloween Edition, tonight at 7:30 p.m. There is a decent chance someone will be kidnapped. Hope to see you there.

Week in Review

10-29-2006 007 (Custom).jpg
History was made at JGT quizzo this week, as something remarkable happened on Thursday night. But the week started with a blowout on Tuesday. Palestra Jon and Skippy joined forces and the Three Amigos won in one of the biggest blowouts in quizzo history, 102-69, over the defending champs The Embarrasments. Scores were low at the Bards, as teams struggled with the “Mysteries of the Unknown” Round. The Sofa Kingdom changed their weekly double answer and got it right, winning 90-82 over Kenny Rogers Has Poo on His Hand. Scores would rise, drastically, on Wednesday, as one team flirted with a perfect game.

Scrabble News

When I moved to Philly, I had no life, no money, and one friend. Fortunately, that one friend and I had something in common besides being broke: we both loved Scrabble. We played every night after work, memorized all the two letter words, and kept detailed records of every word played and what the weather was like when the game started. However, neither of us ever came anywhere near 890 points. In fact, I’m quite sure that if I played by myself, I couldn’t score 890 points. In fact, the guy that won scored 365 points on a single word (Quixotry). That is completely ridiculous.
