FIrst of all, Happy birthday to quizzo cutie Sada of “The Number of Men I’ve Had Sex WIth Is…” Her 25th was Thursday. Today would be the 106th birthday of Frank Zamboni if he were still alive. He invented the, well, I think you know what he invented. The Frank. Hahahahaha. Whew. Man, that was good. You thought I was gonna say Zamboni and then I said Frank. That just totally messed with your head. Yesterday was Philadelphia boxing legend Bernard Hopkins b-day. He turned 42.

-FIrst of all best wishes Danny (above). He bartended his last quizzo on Thursday. He got called up to the big leagues, and will be working the floor at the Good Dog on Friday and Saturday nights.

-Lonely? Well how about getting yourself that perfect gift that just screams “creepy loner.” It’s the one man see-saw.

We’ll be showing Snakes On a Plane tonight at the Trocadero. The action kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with the Wheel of Terrific. I am not sure I will actually be watching the movie because, uh, geez, how do I say this without sounding like a sissy? Ok, fine, I’m scared of snakes. Anyways, the next two weeks are going to be incredible. Next Monday, we’re showing The Shining. The week after that, I’m throwing a little birthday celebration at the Troc with the movie that won the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay for the year I was born, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which also happens to be one of my favorite films of all time. Back to back Jack is gonna be awesome.
