Quizzo Tonight

Word on the street is that it is too tough to win a Johnny Goodtimes quizzo. The people spreading these rumors have obviously never played at the Good Dog, where a one man team has won the last two weeks. The Good Dog is wide slam open. Anybody can win there. 8 p.m. 15th and Locust
Another urban myth: The Sofa Kingdom is unbeatable. They have lost by 24, 13, and 20 points in the last two weeks. They’re in a slump. Now’s your chance to kick their asses. Bards 20th and Walnut 10:15 p.m.
Photos of all of the teams that played this week will be on the site manana. Also coming tommorow: the Return of the Donspiracist!

Around the Horn, Brought to You By Ken Romney

Here I’ve been spending all this money on my teeth and not even making a dental vacation out of it! What was I thinking?
Wanna check out the venue for Quizzo Bowl IV? Tex Cobb is going to be honored during a great night of boxing at the Blue Horizon tomorrow night.
Another amazing wikipedia line, this one pointed out to me by Blind Squirrel Steve, comes from the wiki page of former Phillie catcher and current eccentric Darren Daulton: He recently claimed in a televised interview with ESPN that he has “skipped through time” and undergone “astral travel.”…He plans to go back in time and break Mitch Williams’ legs after the 4th game of the the 1993 World Series.
I wasn’t the only person to blast Wing Bowl (I don’t even think I blasted it. I just thought it was kind of boring.) This kid at Cornell got in some pretty wicked shots.
Strip down the niceties, tear down the façade of political correctness, and you are left with Philadelphia at its most naked — unapologetically fat and perverted and disgusting for all to see. The bottom of the social barrel migrates to a small plot of land in South Philly to deliver a big “eff you” to the world. This holiday stands for debauchery, for broken bottles covered in vomit, for smoking in the non-smoking section, for savagely objectifying women without a shred of guilt, for donning an Eagles jersey and shot gunning beer after beer while the rest of America is tightening its tie and sipping its coffee.

Dispatch from the Wing Bowl

Here’s my latest in the Metro. The hate mail has already started.

Sorry you were not intellectually stimulated at the Wingbowl. If you don’t like beer, wings and ‘wrists’ then why would you even attend?

You seem to think you are above everybody else in attendance, yet you claim you stayed up all night drinking like an ignorant frat boy…!?

By the way, the wing eating actually last 30 minutes, not 15 as you state. Get over yourself.

Hopefully there’s more to come. (Please feel free to leave me hate mail in the comments section below.)

Swap Shoppin’

The guy over at That Blue Yak regularly listens to “Ron’s Swap Shop”, a radio show hosted by the self proclaimed “Sultan of Swap” Ron McNeil (right) on an AM station out in West Chester, and his descriptions of the show are hilarious. They have to get streaming radio on their website! I’m from a small town that has a swap shop show, and I once heard a guy call in trying to sell a Go-cart “that got pretty smashed up when I ran it into a wall last week”. Anyways, I just took a look at the website for the Swap Shop on WESR, the radio station near me, and I found that people were trying to buy or sell the following items in the past couple of weeks. I swear I am not making these up:

Free: old bricks in Cape Charles

Looking for a hood for a ’73 Chevy pickup

Looking to trade deer antlers!!!!

Electric breast pump $25

Looking to buy large rabbits

Looking for someone to trap muskrats

Free 42″ screen tv. Does not work.

Because who couldn’t use some old bricks, a tv that doesn’t work, or a used breast pump? And I really wish I knew the story behind the trading of the deer antlers. Was the guy hoping to impress some people with bigger antlers than he had? Or did his wife tell him that the antlers on the wall were too big, and he needed to downsize? Also, don’t bother calling the one guy if you have medium sized rabbits. Large rabbits only! Finally, I love that someone got so fed up with the dang muskrats that they decided to do something about it…and that something was calling Swap Shop.

JGT Going to Be Crowned

JGT finally gets to be crowned this morning. Needless to say, he is very excited.”Not sure why they wanted to crown me at a dentist office, but hey, that’s irrelevant,” said the quizmaster. “I’m just glad that all of my hard work is being recognized and that this crown will cement my status as the King of Quizzo. Pretty heady stuff.”
