We kick it off at Industry, where we’ll have $5 White Russians and a couple of rounds inspired by the Big Lebowski (wanna study? I’ll give a hint about tonight’s quiz: Steve Buscemi.) Action starts at Industry at 6:30 p.m. French Fry Faceoff and Name That TUne. On to the Bards at 9 p.m. for more of the same. We have raised $1000 so far for the Dude Hates Cancer. Let’s raise a few more hundred tonight!
In the movie Big Lebowski, Walter famously screams, “This is what happens when you f*** a stranger in the ass.” When the film was edited for Comedy Central, what did that line become?
Here ya go, our scores with three weeks left to go in the regular season. Get your team together this week and get some points on the scoreboard!
Gonna be back at the Eakins Oval on Saturday (and each of the next few Saturdays) with an all new quiz. Last week’s theme was summer, and was won by Keepin It Clean (above). This week’s theme will be Philadelphia. Had a HUGE turnout last week. Expecting another good one tomorrow. It’s worth checking out the beer garden. Really a cool spot to hang out. Action starts at 4 p.m.
Hey gang, Quizzo for the Cause returns next week as we raise funds for The Dude Hates Cancer. If you love the Big Lebowski and hate cancer, then next week is gonna be a great one. We’ll have raffles, White Russians, and a round on the Big Leobowski at each quiz (though NOT an entire Lebowski quiz). If you’ve never seen the Big Lebowski, this weekend is the perfect time to do so. One of the best movies ever. All of the funds we raise will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Look forward to seeing you next week!
What women’s baseball team was founded in Philadelphia in 1922, and took an ill-fated tour of Japan in 1925?
Here are your scores after 5 weeks. We’re now in the thick of it. Five weeks down, four to go. Still time to get your team in the mix, but you better do it soon if you want to earn an invite to the Big Event on August 24th.
Your best chances to win are once again at bars where I’m giving double points again this week. O’Neals and Industry. And remember, you can play twice in a week. I do one quiz for Monday-Tuesday and another for Wednesday-Thursday. So you’ve got two chances per week to get on the board. I’m also gonna post more trivia on the facebook page this week.
We’ve got a great event going down next Friday at Shibe Sports. We’re gonna kick it off with a beer tasting by the lovely Ginger, who is now a rep for Allagash. While enjoying some of their awesome beers (for free, you cheap bastards frugal consumers!), Comcast Sportsnet reporter Sarah Baicker will talk about being a woman in a male dominated profession, and also about a pretty fascinating team that used to call Philly home in the 1920s, the Philadelphia Bobbies. We’ll also be unveiling our new Reggie White shirt at the event. Beer starts pouring at 6 p.m. Hope to see you there!
The Eakins Oval is going to have a bunch of fun activities going on this summer, including quizzo, which I’ll be hosting Saturday at 4 p.m. There’s a beer garden, Philly’s best food trucks, and a reggae band after the quiz! And yes, you can earn JGTSI points at the quiz. Hope to see ya there!
Oh what the hell, let’s give away a ton of points tonight. In addition to our normal insanity with French Fry Thursday and Name That Tune for Candy, we’re gonna go double points at both venues. A terrific chance for your squad to get up high on the JGTSI scoreboard. First of all, the Industry is probably the most winnable quiz on the scene, with no dominant team. Action starts at 6:30 p.m. Terrific burgers and $3 craft brews. Secondly, there are rumors that the Jesters of Tortuga will not be playing tonight at the Bards, so that makes it anybody’s ballgame. $3 Lagers. Action starts at 9 p.m. And this is a different quiz than the one on Monday and Tuesday, so if you played then, you are welcome to play again. Let’s rock the house tonight. Boom!
