All New Loser Quiz at French Fry Thursday Tonight

Losers week has thus far been marked by upsets, Bob Seger, and gummy worms. It only gets better tonight. Action starts at Ugly American at 8 p.m. Looking for a win? This is your best bet. No dominant teams. Also, $2 Lagers and $3 fries. On to the Bards, where we had a great turnout last week and had a lot of fun. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. $2 Lager Lights and $3 Fries.

Loser’s Quiz Tonight


We busted out the loser’s quiz last night at quizzo, and it turned out to be a heck of a lot of fun. We do it again tonight, starting at the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. 4 of our Top 12 teams call this bar home. If you’re ready to play with the big boys, this is where you can make it happen. Two teams headed in opposite directions call the Black Sheep home. What’s Good for the Puma has been red hit lately, at the expense of Duane’s World. Can Duane’s World exact revenge? Or will your team rocket out of nowhere to take the crown? We find out tonight at 8 p.m. Like I said, a very amusing quiz this week. Don’t miss it.

Twin Peaks Quizzo This Sunday at POPE!

It was one of the most brilliant shows in television history. (Well, for a season at least. Then it kind of flew off the handle.) But that first season was so brilliant, so strange, and so much fun that we’re dedicating a whole quiz to it. (Well, almost. We’ll also do a round on David Lynch himself, some questions on Fire Walk WIth Me, and some of his other work.) This quiz is going to be a lot of fun. It’s going down this Sunday at 8 p.m. at POPE and is sponsored by Evil Twin Brewing Company. I don’t know where this quiz will lead us. But I have a definite feeling it will be somewhere  both wonderful and strange.

Losers Week at JGT Quizzo

Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s been a pretty miserable week in Philadelphia. First the Phillies lose, then the Eagles choke in spectacular fashion, then a bunch of hippies occupy City Hall. Well, instead of groveling in our misery, I figure we might as well bask in it. After all, there are plenty of losers outside of Philadelphia, and this week we’re going to learn about all of them. From losing pitchers to losing battles to the Biggest Loser, this week is going to be all about losers. Because losers deserve to be honored. After all, without no losers, there could be no winners. And to honor our losers, we’ll have special last place prizes all week long. Hope to see you this week, losers!
