Question of the Week

Ivar the Boneless and Ubbe Ragnarsson led this army against the British in 865 AD to avenge their father’s death.

Quizzo Tonight

An all-new quiz tonight at North Star at 7 pm, and Sidecar at 9:15. Regular quiz this week, no theme. We’ve got $3 Kenzos and half off mussels and hummus at North Star. As far as earning JGTAI points, I’d say North Star, O’Neals, and Ugly American are your best chances to get a win. No superior teams at any of those 3. And I think there might be a few questions tonight about Vikings. Hope to see ya tonight!

Autumn Invitational Update

Here are the scores after Week 1. This does not take into account Monday or Tuesday of this week, or the physical challenges.

This Invite is gonna be a good one. It’s going to be in November at City Tap House in November 18th. In addition to our normal frivolity, we’re also going to be defending Philly’s honor…we’re going to be going head to head with several other cities in the first ever Tycho Brahe Cup. We’re gonna honor one of the most eccentric nerds in world history with a trophy that will be awarded to the top city. More details on the event soon, but just know this…you won’t just be playing this season for your team’s honor, but for the city’s honor. And to do so, you must earn an invite.If you’re looking to score some points and get in the mix, head on over to the facebook page for the latest physical challenge.
