Full On Double Rainbow

Some people were wondering what I was talking about this week when I had my “Full On Double Rainbows” Round. Here it is. Enjoy.

Quizzo News and Notes (Oh, and About Those Photos)

Not to worry, the pics haven’t disappeared. But the problem is that I took them with my girlfriend’s camera and she has the cord to connect it to the computer in her purse, and her purse is with her at work. So I can’t post them yet. I will try to get them up tomorrow. In the meantime, several things to leave you with.

First of all, there were a bunch of colonial outfit pics, most of which were totally awesome. And one which was terrible, courtesy of Steve-O, trying shamelessly to earn Lambda points despite the fact that they haven’t played any quizzos yet. His shameless shenanigans have earned Lambda the first (-2) score in JGTSI history. Well, there are two new assignments that you can do to earn up to 5 points over the weekend.

Here is my letter of apology to Ruben Amaro. His deal to get Roy Oswalt was nothing short of brilliant.

There are rumors of a Philaguerilla comedy show this weekend. Want to be in the Most Exclusive Club in Town* and find out when Philly’s best comedians are going to be trying out all new material? Follow us on facebook to learn when the next show is. Spoiler alert: it’s soon.

*It’s not really, I just love writing “Most Exclusive Club in Town”

French Fry Thursday and Revolutionary Photos

First of all, the colonial photos are a hoot! The physical challenge is to show me a picture of a team member or two with someone in a colonial outfit, and several teams have chomped at the bit. You’ve got until tomorrow at 3 p.m. to earn points with a colonial photo!

As for tonight, things have been bumping the last couple of Thursdays, and we’ve been having a lot of fun. First off tonight, the Ugly American. Quizzo start there at 8 p.m. Dollar off all drafts and $1 Corn dogs. And trust me, the corn dogs are really good. These are the best $1 corn dogs you’ve ever eaten.

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m., where the past few weeks have been like old times, with good crowds on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. A great chance to score points, as after Steak Em Up different teams seem to finish 2nd and 3rd every week. And of course at least two teams tonight will win free fries, and I have some totally sweet last place prizes. (I think the guy who won the “Sleepless in Seattle” nightgown at O’Neals was this week’s big winner.) Hope to see you tonight!

New Quizzo Tonight!

The JGT Empire expands into Manayunk tonight as Mike Minion takes his quiz to the Terrace Taproom. I’ve played Mike’s quiz. I’ve also been the Manayunk. I am predicting that the winning score tonight is a 45. I keed, I keed! The Terrace Taproom is apparently an excellent bar with a very interesting beer selection. And I have to admit, I am dying to see how Mike goes over in the ‘Yunk. I kind of like tonight’s theme round. I think I might play. Regardless, now that he’s got two quizzes, I am expecting twice as much carpentry this week. Here’s what Mike’s gotta say:

Tonight is the kick-off for a new quizzo venue! Starting this evening, The Terrace Taproom in Manayunk (2847 Terrace Street) will be the site of the early Monday quiz. The debut takes place at 7 PM. The Taproom is only three blocks from the Wissahickon Transportation Center (and one block from the corner of Ridge and Manayunk), so it’s not to difficult to reach, should any of our Center City regulars wish to give it a try. And by the way, the owner tells me the folls from Magic Hat Brewery will be there tonight with some great beer specials and lots of prizes. Should make for a very festive opening night!

The Westbury quiz continues to build drama. We’ve had three different winners in the past 4 weeks, and the crowd is usually quite lively. Tonight’s theme round is 1980’s sitcoms, which really opens up the field. This is a great opportunity to get points in the JGT Invitational. Who knows, with a pop-culture theme like this, even JGT himself may give it a try! As a bonus, tonight’s tap special is Great Divide Brewery’s 16th anniversary double IPA at $4. Starting time is 10:30, as usual.

For the time being, it will be the same quiz at both venues, so you can only play once. Hope to see you at one of the locations tonight.

May the sun never set on the JGT Empire!

JGTSI Update!

Alright hombres, so we’re over halfway through the JGT Summer Invitational, and a few things to note. First of all, this thing is far from over. The next three weeks will be the most important. In addition to earning points at quizzo, I have offered up several opportunities to score points on facebook. It is extremely easy to score up to 4 points in the next 24 hours, and I will be offering new opportunities to score almost daily from now until the end of the contest. Also, next week offers a grand opportunity to get right back in the mix, even if you haven’t even played yet. Details to come on Monday.

As for this week, well quite frankly things have been a little slower than in weeks past. What does this mean? It means that tonight could be a great chance to score some points. I think everyone went on vacation this week, so now’s your shot to make a move. Ugly American at 8 p.m. Bards at 10:15 p.m. See ya tonight!
