All-New 2000s Quiz Tonight!

It’s been a wild week, with upsets every step of the way. Three teams so far this week have gotten their first ever JGT quizzo win. I don’t ever remember this many upsets in a week. Can it continue tonight? We’ll find out at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. ($2 lagers, $3 fries) and the Bards at 10:15 p.m. ($2.50 Lager Light bottles, $3 fries). All new questions inspired by the decade from 2000-2009. Hope to see ya there!

2000s Quiz Tonight

Ah, the 2000s. What a decade it was. No wars, a great economy, and great music. No, wait. Nevermind. That was the 50s. The 2000s were filled with 2 wars, a disastrous economy, and some of the worst music ever created by mankind. Well this week’s quiz will be about the 2000s anyway. From baseball to boy bands, I’m gonna ask questions about it all. Action starts at the Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. and goes to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Hope to see you there.

Y2Quiz Week Returns!

We did it in June, and now we’re doing it again. We’re going to find out how much you know about the 2000s. Questions on the very recent past in fashion, music, and film. And as promised, there will be a baseball round in this quiz. Of course, all questions will be about 2000s baseball. Gonna be a fun week. Hope to see ya there.

JGT Power Rankings for Week of October 24th

1. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics (North Star and Ugly American). A narrow win at North Star followed by a blowout win at UA takes them to the top spot. Last week: #2

2. Philliez Nutz (Bards). Wanna get to the top of the rankings? Beat Steak Em Up 3 times in 4 weeks and I can guarantee you a spot in the Top 3. Last week: #5

3. Steak Em Up (CTH and Bards). A first place and a 2nd place keep them in the 3-hole. Last week: #3

4. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Recent losing streak caused them to call in reinforcements. Don’t know if they even needed them in a 27-point shellacking at the Black Sheep. Last week: #12

5. Honey Badgers (Locust Rendezvous). Well, they already had the superlative “loudest team” pretty much locked up, but now you can finally put a win on their resume. Huge win for the Badgers. Congrats! Last week: NR

6. Million Dollar Robot Baby (City Tap House). At first glance, a 2nd place finish is nothing to be ashamed of. Until you see that they fell by 25. And the curse of the #1 rank continues. Still no team has remained #1 for two straight weeks. Last week: #1

7. Mysterious Mr. Mapother (O’Neals). 2nd win in 3 weeks for Mapother at O’Neals. Now that the Ear seems to have folded, Mapother has established itself as the team to beat at O’Neals. Last week: NR

8. Mister Lippers (Ugly American). Picked a good week to take a week off. With so many top teams losing, they only drop two spots in the rankings. Last week: #6

9. What’s Good for the Puma (Black Sheep). A third place finish at the Black Sheep keeps them holding steady at #9. Last week: #9

10. Inglorious Barristers (Vous). I started posting the top 3 quizzo scores at each bar in June of 2009. Since that time, there have been over 100 quizzes at the Vous. And not once, not once, did the Barristers, Jams, or Magnus all fail to finish in the Top 3. Until this week. Pretty incredible. Last week: #4

11. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). There is no tougher team in quizzo when they are hot, but they aren’t hot right now. A rare Top 3 miss for the Jams. Last week: #7

12. What’s Good for the Puma (Black Sheep). Another Top-3 finish, but they are hanging onto a Top-12 standing by a thread. Last week: #9

Also receiving votes: Specific Jawns, Firehouse, Taking it to the Max, Popesack, Magnus ver Magnusson, Madame Butterface, 1022, Why Can’t Us, Missing Heads, Team Boyle

Last Chance to Play All-Philly Quiz is Tonight

If you missed Thursdays all-Philly quiz, then I highly suggest you get up to the North Star bar tonight. This is one of my best quizzes. Action starts at 7 p.m. Also, a little heads up: Next Monday will be the one and only JGT Spooktacular. That’s right, it will be a one time only event, on Halloween night, at the North Star. In addition to the quiz, there will be prizes for best costumes. Let’s hang out together on Halloween and play the spookiest quiz ever written!
