Freaking server crashed again. 2nd time in two weeks. Awesome. Anyways, now I gotta go to my basketball game (playoffs start tonight!!!) and then to quizzo. But first a quick note:
Today is Wesley Willis’s birthday. He would be 44 today if he were still alive. Rock over London. Rock on Chicago!
Month: May 2007
The Metro Column
Here’s the latest in the Metro. In case you are wondering, the turnout from the quizzo community has been a supreme disappointment. There are about 10-15 of you that I am extremely disappointed have not joined the program, b/c I thought spending an hour a week to make a major impact in the future of the city you love was a no-brainer (If you think I might be referring to you, the answer is “yes”.) As for the guys who have signed up, I wanna say a sincere thank you for making such a huge difference in the community.

Around the Horn, brought to you by Lucy
-Bo has been one of my best friends since before we were born. Our moms were friends when they were both pregnant with us. Well, he’s got a baby now named Lucy (above left) who her first birthday on Sunday. It was a great first birthday party. I mean, I had a great first birthday party, but this one was even better. I didn’t have duck cake.
-Last year, I said that Tacconelli’s tied with Tony’s for best pizza in Philly. The accolades haven’t stopped coming. ‘Nelli’s was named best pizza by Glenn Macnow in a recent 610 WIP pizza hunt, and just got a pretty good review from the Philadelphia Weekly.
–Charles Nelson Reilly! And Eva Gabor is totally hot. Thanks to Phil for sending this in.
–Is the next USFL on it’s way? Let’s hope so.

Pics from last week
Yeah, I’m a little late on the upkeep, due to the holiday. ANyway, I’m gonna post pics of last weeks winners. Since we just celebrated Memorial Day, we’re gonna do it like this: I’m gonna post a battle, you’re gonna post what war it took place in. One guess per person, and no looking them up.
Trivia Art in the Metro
The Metro is letting anybody write for it these days. Not only is JGT a contributing member, but now Trivia Art has a weekly column, highlighting some of the best food deals in town. Here is the first one.
Question of the week
Who was the last colony to ratify the Constitution, becoming the 13th state on May 29, 1790?
Yo
Kicking it in the Nassawadox (pop. 585) library. Gotta get my story done for Metro then hit the road, drive for 4 1/2 hours, and then come up with questions for tonight, then host quizzo. Not the kind of day Philly’s only true man of leisure enjoys. I’ll have a question of the week up shortly. The wedding went well, and I spent all day yesterday on a secluded beach with about10 of my closest friends. Hard to beat. Hope you guys had a good holiday. I mean, every Monday is a holiday for me, but I know that things are different for you people. Anyway, I’ll holla atcha soon with a question of the week.
