French Fry Thursday!

frenchfryIt’s hotter than two hells outside. You could use a beer. And some trivia. And maybe, just MAYBE, a free basket of french fries. That’s where I come in. Quizzo tonight at two locations famous for their air conditioning and ice cold beers. First of all, all beers at Ugly American are a buck off during quizzo. We kick off there at 8 p.m. Then we move to the Bards. It was jumping last Thursday. Let’s keep it going this week. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. and Lagers and Miller Lite’s cost a mere $2.50. Hope to see ya tonight!

JGT Power Rankings

power
  1. Steak Em Up. Two big wins keep them in the top spot for the 7th straight week. Last week: #1
  2. Duane’s World/Escahton. Wow, what a week for Duane’s World. Three wins in one week is almost unheard of. Last week: #6
  3. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. A blowout win Tuesday at O’Neals, a blowout loss Thursday at UA. They drop one spot. Last week: #2
  4. The Jams. A narrow win at the Vous is their 3rd in the last 4 weeks. Last week: #3
  5. Look Up Look Down Now I’m on a Horse. Despite a performance by Pong that has the JGT Ethics Committee looking into possible sanctions,  2nd place finish at Bards on Tuesday keeps them in the 5 spot. Last week: #5
  6. The Savage Ear. A disappointing loss to the Diabetics drops them two spots. Pam can’t blame biased judges for this one. Last week: #4
  7. Inglorious Barristers. Another heartbreaking loss to the Jams, this time by two points. Last week: #8
  8. 1022. A week after a big win at the Vous, they finish a distant third and drop a spot. Last week: #7
  9. 85 Kicks in the Balls. WHere did these guys come from? They come out of nowhere to finish 2nd at the Black Sheep. Do we have a new player at the Sheep? Last week: NR
  10. Team Friendship. They add Steve-O but still can’t get past Steak Em Up. Last week: NR

Also receiving votes: Catdog, Unusual Suspects, Team Friendship, Pork Fried Rice, Eyes on the Prize, Forza Azzurri, Bong Hits, Phillie RNs

$195 on the Line on Big Money Tuesday

money_1

Big money on the line tonight. $100 to beat Steak Em Up at the Bards. You read that right. I am upping the bounty to $60 (plus $40 gift certificate) for a one time only deal. If no-one can claim it tonight, it will drop back down to what it’s supposed to be (which is like $30 or $35). $2.50 Lagers tonight at the Bards. Also, keep in mind that O’Neals has the highest regular prize on the circuit. $50 for first place, $25 for 2nd. That buys a lot of $3 margaritas. And I’ll give you a little heads up: there is a mystery round tonight. O’Neals at 8 p.m. Bards at 10:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!

Steve-O and Doogie Horner Perform at Khyber Tonight

doogieDoogie Horner, fresh off his hit performance on America’s Got Talent, will be making an appearance tonight on Chip Chantry’s One Man Show. That’s right folks, one moment you can be Amerca’s Sweetheart, and the next you could be telling jokes in front of 20 angry people at the Khyber on a Monday night. That’s show biz. That’s just the way it is. But Doogie won’t be the only TV star performing tonight at the Khyber. Far from it. Steve-O, who you might remember from some VH-1 game show that he won a car on (Name That Video, perhaps?), will also be performing. No, not as Andy Reid, but as a piano player. Gonna be a fun show. Hope you can make it out.

Quizzo Tonight at Westbury

Mike Minion is back in action tonight. I am gonna play and I’m looking for a team, so if anybody wants to play holler at me on facebook. Here’s the deets from Mike:

Quizzo kicks off tonight at 10:30 at The Westbury.  For all you quizzo junkies on the JGT circuit, this offers a THRID time during the week to play.  Rumor had that JGT himself is putting together a team for tonight.  So far, he has been spectacularly unsuccesful in winning one of my quizzez, though there have been some good efforts.  Come out tonight and help keep JGT in his place and out of the money.  The lambics are still on special ($3.00), and the Grand Cru is one of my faves.  Prizes for this evening are $40 for first and $20 for second.  Hope to see you there!
