…and they’re spectacular. If you see Trivia Art or I crying today, worry not: they are tears of joy.
Month: April 2007
A couple of things
Been kind of light on the postings today cause I had to work on the ol’ Metro piece. Here’s a few things:
–Words are funny.
–Shirts are funny.
-I bought a new washer/dryer yesterday, the first home appliance I have ever bought new in my life. This is big for me. I’ll have some photos tommorrow. That’s right, washer/dryer photos. Start getting excited.
Happy B-Day Rowdy Roddy!
A happy birthday to Rowdy Roddy Piper and Michael Sembello, who both turn 53 today. Are they twins? I mean, Rowdy Roddy certainly was a Maniac. Oh, and in case you didn’t know it, Sembello is from Philly.
We lost
Yeah, my ringer didn’t make it, but we still made a pretty good showing at Dark Horse, finishing 2nd. Palestra Jon goes for three straight next Monday. If I’m there, he won’t get it. And no, I do not consider Smackdown “B-team” material. Just Trivia Art and D-Mac. And, to be honest, me. It’s just that I’m trying to get an A-team that I can tag along with and talk smack as they answer questions.
Fun stuff tonight
Couple of fun things going on this evening, both of which I highly recommend
–Die Actor Die at the Khyber. 8 p.m. I performed in it last month, and it was a heck of a lot of fun. Really funny show hosted by couple of guys from ComedySportz.
-I’ll probably make it out to quizzo at Dark Horse tonight, if anyone is up for the challenge. I will crush you like an ant. 9 p.m.
-Oh by the way, if you missed the Mr. Belding/Tony Romo/Journey Don’t Stop Believin’ video, click here. I assure you this will be a question this week.
Question of the week
What famous French pilot was shot down behind German lines on April 18, 1915?
Who wants to grab pizza this week?
Alright, well we’re kicking off the 2nd annual Great Philadelphia Pizza Hunt to find who has the best pie in town. Got a lot of new places to try out. If you wanna help me try out these spots or have one of your own you wanna go for, holla atcha boy. Listed below the break are some of the places I plan on trying. If you’ve got one that’s not on the list that I need to try, just drop it in the comments.
Where should we do city vs. city challenge?
On May 14th, quizzo players from Philadelphia will be competing with quizzo players from Denver and Seattle (and possibly DC). We will all ask the same 50 questions, using the same scoring method, and see who emerges victorious. We’ll see what team takes the cake, and for bragging rights, what city’s top 5 teams average the highest scores. I need to know where we should do this. Somewhere I can fit 75-100 people. Also, should I charge a small fee (maybe $5) and get a band? Drop your ideas below.
Ain’t Nuttin’ But a Party Y’all
Bowling party. Coming soon. Details in the coming week.
Does the Big Brothers Program Help Reduce Crime in the City?
Mayoral candidate Dwight Evans thinks so:
Dwight Evans held a press conference on Thursday, April 12th to announce his pledge to fully support Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Philadelphia and their mentor programs as a way to reduce violence in the city. As a show of his commitment to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Dwight signed up to be a Big Brother for a young child in Philadelphia.
“I fundamentally believe that we can overcome this scourge of violence Philadelphia is suffering through right now,” Evans said. “Community involvement and personal commitment will be keys to ending the violence, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a model combination of both these elements.“
