Big Money Tuesday Kicks Off Week 8

We kick into our final week tonight. We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. The most parity in quizzo. 8 different winners in the past 9 weeks. $3.50 Mexican beers.

On to the City Tap House. Another great chance to win, as things have quieted down a bit for summer. $3 Sly Foxes and $10 for a personal pizza and a beer. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. All music questions. Hope to see you tonight!

JGTSI Scores With One Week Left

Here they are, the updated scores on the scoreboard. (Does NOT count the new musical physical challenge). Brown Betty is cruising in total points, helped along by not just physical challenge points but by a couple of wins. Steak Em Up has finally given in and started doing physical challenges. Their foolish pride was obviously taking too much of a hit to keep seeing themselves in 7th place. Remember, the top 10 teams (teams in yellow) are in the drawing for a $100 gift certificate bonus. It looks like spots 1-10 are pretty much locked up, so I will have invites this week.

There is still plenty of opportunity to make the cut however, if you want to represent Philly against Denver on August 7th. Each season, we have a few teams make the cut but drop out of the running, so I expect a few slots to open up.  Further, you can help yourself by doing the latest physical challenge. And finally, next week is wild card week. If you can’t make the cut but want to play, a Top 2  finish next week will earn you a spot.

 

Music Week This Week


All questons this week will be music related. And we’re talking alllllll music. Rock, reggae, rap, classical, jazz, country, etc. But no house music. That’s not music. Saying house is music is like saying banging your head against a brick wall is exercise. It’s stupid, and I refuse to acknowledge its existence.

And no, it won’t be all audio rounds. There are plenty of great questions about their about musicians, instruments, producers, music magazines, etc. There are also rumors of a rap battle at the Bards on Thursday. But those are just rumors at this time. JGTSI scores and a new physical challenge coming soon.

Simpson’s Quiz Tonight

Koob and Kristy are hosting a Simpson’s quiz tonight at Chenango in Northern Liberties. Action starts at 8 p.m. If you’re a Simpsons fan, tonight is your chance to show your stuff. And keep in mind, points will count in the JGTSI. If you’re a Simpsons fan, this will probably be the easiest quiz to win all week.

Get Your Physical Challenge Points To Earn an Invite!

Just a quick reminder that even if you haven’t scored any points yet, you still have an opportunity to play in the JGTSI/City vs. City Smackdown. But you need to get on the ball. Get a photo of you as a child posted on the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Page by Monday at Noon to get your team in the mix. Alright, it was just too damn hot to post pics and scores today, but I’ll have them up Saturday morning.

The Best 10 Words You Will Read All Day

From People magazine, January 1997. The best part is highlighted, though the whole paragraph is pretty tremendous.

Clerk Robert Waller was working the late shift at the Wal-Mart in Fredericton, N. B., when Elmo-mania hit him. Literally. It was after midnight on Dec. 14, and a crowd of about 300 had gathered to get their hands on the store’s latest shipment of Tickle Me Elmo, that vibrating, giggling, must-have toy of the holiday season. Waller, 27, was holding an Elmo when the crowd spotted him—and stampeded. “I was pulled under, trampled—the crotch was yanked out of my brand-new jeans,” says Waller, who suffered a pulled hamstring, injuries to his back, jaw and knee, a broken rib and a concussion. “I was kicked with a white Adidas before I became unconscious.”

Just think about that. It’s not bad enough you’re being run over by dozens of people. It’s not bad enough that they give you a concussion, a broken rib, and a pulled hamsting. It’s not bad enough that they “yanked” the crotch out of your jeans and left you lying there, unconscious and crotchless. But what really seemed to bother Robert was that these jeans were BRAND NEW. That’s just going over the line. I mean, if you’re going to give a guy concussion over a stuffed animal, that’s one thing, but don’t rip the crotch out of some jeans that he just bought. Now you’re just being inconsiderate.
