It was a wild and wacky week on the quizzo front, as several of the Big Guns fell silent. A tough time to do it too, as all of these teams are desperately hoping to build some momentum going into QB3. But we begin with Snakes on a Plane. It was a huge crowd, and the Wheel of Terrific went great. With my co-host Chip Chantry off winning some contest, I got a lot of help from local comedian Pat House and the lovely Ginger. We played all new games, including “Cakes Ain’t the Same”, “Grapes In a ‘Cane”, and “Sweeptstakes to Claim”. Then it was time for the movie, of which I watched a total of 30 seconds (those 30 seconds being the makeout scene in the bathroom. What can I say, I’m 31 going on 14.) But I’m scared of snakes and not really excited about flying, so I just spent the rest of the night at the bar. After that, Ginger and I grabbed late night grub at the House of Chen. And it is here that I must rat out the lovely Ginger. I saw Philadelphia’s Beer Lass drink a Budweiser.

Steve O. at Cascamorto
Quizzo regular Steve O. is gonna be playing piano at Cascamorto’s today from 5-8 p.m. THis from Steve: Expect to hear lots of rock and roll, random 80s stuff, and other things you never thought you would hear on a piano. Part music, part comedy, all around craziness. It’s a fun time, and be ready to sing along. In fact, I beg you to sing along.
Quizzo Bowl Questions
One thing I haven’t mentioned earlier that I’ve gotten numerous emails about is team size. The answer is that team max is 8. How easiest to get tickets? Come to quizzo. I will be selling tix at quizzo all next week. You can buy them online at worldcafelive.com as well, but they are more expensive there. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Oh yeah, and February 3rd just happens to be my birthday, so there is talk of a birthday afterparty. I’ll keep ya updated.
Ginger Thursdays…on Friday!
One offers fine wine, foot massages, Belgian chocolate, and a Caribbean vacation, while another inquires if his future mate is curious about fisting. Hmm…looks like I am not going to find my dream boat on craig’s List. Maybe if the former offered fine beer, back massages, Belgian chocolate, and Belgian vacations it would be his lucky day. I don’t want to eat Belgian Chocolate in the Carribean. I want to drink El Presidente in the Carribean. And I certainly don’t want to meet my lad on Craig’s list.
With Valentine’s Day looming in the not so distant, I decided to take a few moments out from what’s been commented on as my “fascinating life”, and ponder what would make it fascinating on february 14th, or more so, who?
I have three weeks and five days to be swept off my feet. or perhaps sweep him off his. Considering my frequency of watering hole visits- it’s more likely to happen there then during a Philly car share exchange at Broad and Ellsworth.
Truth be told I have had a valentine more years than not, but I have kind of dated the same guy in different bodies for five years now. And I am done. After my last quasi relationship, I started setting rules. No more canuks, no more actors, no more bar managers, bar owners, bar tenders, etc… no more musicians, no more chefs.
But then I thought, should I really pigenohole myself like that? What if I meet a mandolin-playing, part-time restaurant manager, who gets parts every now and then, and calls Nova Scotia home. And- he just so happens to brew his own beer, wants to go running in Fairmount park, play scrabble with me and is also trying to eat as much guacamole as he can in this lifetime. Then what’s a lass to do?
My favorite mayor presents: Around the Horn
-Friends recall Napoleon’s cowardly fight with cancer.
-Happy Anniversary to my favorite mayor in world history, Marion “Bitch Set Me Up” Barry. It was on this date in 1990 that, well, that bitch set him up. Here are some hilarious Marion Barry quotes.
-Remember last week, when there was still a chance that we might have a home playoff game, so they told us that those wildly swaying “fun ramps” were safe? Well, now that we’re not having a home game, they can let the cat out of the bag: they’re, um, sort of safe but not THAT safe, so they’re gonna make ’em stronger before next year.
-Congrats to the Sixers, who pulled off a very important loss last night. The Memphis Grizzlies had a worse record than us and could have gained a two game advantage on us in the Greg Oden sweepstakes. But with our backs against the wall, we came out sucking like we’ve never sucked before, and were able to fend them off and take the loss.
It’s coming together!
I woke up this morning grumpy. Here we were, less than three weeks away from QB3, and I still had no halftime show and no headline performers. So I met with the lovely Ginger today to get some work done, and let’s just say that after screaming at each other for several hours, we somehow ended up very close to signing an extremely sexy halftime act. Then she had a brainstorm about a band, and I’m meeting with the leader of said band tommorrow. It sounds PERFECT, but I gotta see if they’re available before I give out any details. I’m starting to get really excited about this. Stay tuned!
Spam presents: Around the horn
-If any big time drug dealers in Tennessee are reading this, remember that it’s that time of year again: time to apply for your Drug tax stamp.
-Oh yeah, my review on Rocky: It’s very sappy and melodramatic, but he also pays loving homage to both the character and the city of Philly. I thought they should have made the match between he and Antonio Tarver 3 rounds, which would have made the whole thing a lot more realistic. And you can see the Bards in one of the scenes. I would definitely recommend it, if only to see all the spots in Philly.
-Don’t you hate it when you are watching porn at night and you see a window shot and there is light out and it reminds you that the porn was taped and edited days earlier and it just ruins the whole fantasy? No? Well, who cares, you’re gonna watch live porn anyway.
K-Fed is set to appear in a Super Bowl commercial! Man, I hope he’s rapping in it! That would mean that K-Fed and I would be rapping on back to back days! Like Blood Brothers! Uh, no wait, nevermind. I almost forgot that I’m retired from the rap game.
Quizzo Bowl Tickets are on sale tonight!
I will have tix to Quizzo Bowl 3 on sale all week. First come first serve in terms of picking your seats. You can also purchase them online, but they are $15 if you buy them from me and $18 if you buy them online. Still putting together my line-up, but you know if you saw the first two that it will be awesome and well worth the money (Ok, besides the freaking bellydancer at QB1. Can we just move past that?). I am also raising the stakes. In the past, the winners got $300. This year, the winner gets $500 and 2nd place gets $250. I will also have lots of free stuff to give away. This is the Quizzo event of the year. Do not miss it! Doors open at 6;30 p.m. and quizzo begins at 7:30 p.m.
Congratulations Chip!
Wheel of Terrific co-collaborater and local comedian Chip Chantry was unable to do the Wheel last night because he was involved in a competition at Helium Comedy Club (Ginger and Pat House filled in and did a fine job.) The Purina Pet Challenge called for local comedians to do their best pet jokes. Well, Chip not only entered but he won. He got $1,000 and will be flown out to St. Louis in March to compete for $10,000. Congratulations Chip!
