All New Ladies Quiz Tonight


An all new Ladies Week quiz tonight. This time there will be a picture round and quite a few questions on fashion. Action starts at Ugly American at 8 p.m. We move to Bards at 10:15 p.m. And remember, the power rankings are making a return next week, so if you want to make the top 10, you might wanna get your A-team together for tonight. And of course, there will be a french fry face-off. Hope to see you tonight!

BONUS FUN FACT: The song “Lady” by Styx was written by Dennis DeYoung for his wife in 1973. He and his wife are still together.

This is the Craziest Thing You Will Read All Week

The story of a legendary South Philly boxer who was killed by his girlfriend when she caught him with a transvestite. You don’t need to care about sports to be blown away by this one. A few more things of interest on the site right now:

Be sure to vote for who has the best moustache in Philly Sports History: Mike Schmidt, Sal Fasano, or Sparky Lyle.

Read about the crazy 23-22 game the Phillies won over the Cubs on a windy day in 1979.

Read about the former Phillie who is the only player to ever commit 4 errors on a single play.

And finally, another must read about a local athlete dying young…The Tragedy of Slim Jones.

Famous Females Quizzo Tonight


Well, good news and bad news at the Vous, and they’re both the same thing. The Jams will not be playing tonight. Therefore, there will be no bounty, but it also means that all other teams will have a better shot at winning now that the white hot Jams are out of the picture. Action starts at 6:15 p.m. $2 Miller High Life. On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Definitely a good time to get a table. Things were wild there for a few months, but they’ve quieted down the last couple of weeks. They’ve also added a quite a few new spring items to the menu, and they’ve gotten some great beers on tap lately.

Of course, the quiz is a Famous Females quiz, with a wild card round written by my wife thrown in for good measure. Turns out that it’s a fairly difficult quiz, but a lot of fun. We had a good time with it last night.

As you’ve noticed, we’ve redone the site. Hope you like it. I’m quite excited about it, and feeling fairly inspired. I’m going to start the Top 10 rankings again next week.

Who Said It, Charlie Sheen or Gary Busey?

Here’s last week’s 50-50 round: Who said it, Charlie Sheen or Gary Busey?

  1. There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
  2. Sober stands for, “Son of a bitch, everything’s real.”
  3. It’s been a tsunami. And I’ve been riding it on my mercury surfboard.
  4. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.
  5. Fear is the darkroom where Satan develops his negatives.
  6. Drinking your own blood is the paradigm of recycling.
  7. I’m tired of trying to pretend I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin rock star from Mars.
  8. Resentments are the rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my saber.
  9. The ocean is your imagination. The ocean is your emotion. The sail on the boat is the golden rule. The wind that sends your boat into the sunset, that wind is your spirit. You have an anchor you don’t know you have. It’s an invisible anchor.
  10. You borrow my brain for 5 seconds and just be like, “Dude, can’t handle it! Unplug this bastard! It fires in a way that is perhaps not from this terrestrial realm.”

Answers are below.

Famous Ladies Week Starts Tonight

I’ve gotten a few comments that my quizzes tend to be a little “dude heavy”, with lots of questions about sports and famous men. Therefore, I’m going to try to mix things up this week, with questions about famous ladies, femme fatales, and fashion. But don’t worry, gentlemen, this quiz isn’t written for ladies exclusively, it’s primarily just questions about ladies. You’ll be fine. More importantly, it will give you an excuse to ask the cute girl at the bar for some help on the question about Coco Chanel. It’s going to be an interesting quiz. Action starts tonight at 8 p.m. at O’Neals. We then move to the City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. If any ladies have any ideas for topics you’d like to see this week, please drop them in the comments. Hope to see ya tonight!

UPDATE: This week’s wild card round will be “Things My Wife Knows That I Don’t”. Should be kind of fun.

Andy Reid Supports Steve-O


Anyone who is a registered Republican and lives in Philadelphia, please go to the polls tomorrow to vote for Steve Odabashian and only Steve Odabashian. Those of us who have been lucky enough to know Steve are well aware of the fact that he is not a seasoned politician. If we was, we probably couldn’t stand him. Instead, Steve is a caring, thoughtful, and compassionate human being who is running for this office not for money, glory, or power, but because he loves this city and he wants to help it reach its potential. Not to mention that he has won 3 Quizzo Bowls with an intellect that, quite frankly dwarfs most of his opponents (who combined have won 0 Quizzo Bowls.) Please get out to vote tomorrow, and please vote Steve-O. Furthermore, if any of you are free and want to help Steve out tomorrow, please contact him on facebook.

Quizzo News and Notes

A good week on the quiz circuit, with nice crowds at all of our quizzes. Thanks to everyone who came out this week. We had an upset at the Ugly, a shootout at the Black Sheep, and the Jams just kept on rolling. Next week is ladies week. Now, that doesn’t mean that only ladies can play, but it means that questions will be designed with the ladies in mind. Can I do this without being labeled a sexist? I have no idea. But famous women, fashion, Kool and the Gang songs, and probably a few questions written by my wife will all be play. Should be a fun quiz.

In other news…if you are a Republican, please remember to vote for Steve-O on Tuesday. He’s gotten endorsements from the Inquirer and the Daily News, and he’s hoping to pull the upset.

And speaking of democracy, be sure to vote for your favorite Phillies moustache in the Phillysportshistory.com Face Furniture Contest.
