Quizzo Tonight

A1

I’ve got a gig in NYC, so Carl is in charge tonight. Action starts at Industry at 6:30. Great opportunity to get a JGTSI win. (And yes, I know you’re owed a scoreboard. I’ve just been swamped lately. I’ll have it up early next week. Promise!)

On to Bards at 9:15. Have fun tonight while I’m crushing the Big Apple.

And the Skies Opened, and the Earth Was Washed Away, and the Quizzo Was Ended

A storm of Biblical proportions hit the quiz at the Oval on Sunday, and no-one was spared its wrath. No seriously, it was nuts. It hit right after the final round ended, and it lasted for over an hour. It hit so hard and so fast that most of us didn’t have time to make it to cover, and huddled under the little shelter offered by the bar. (Sadly, it also destroyed several scoresheets, meaning we can’t declare a winner. First time it’s ever happened. I’m bummed.)

We had kicked off the quiz with a great crowd, and were having a fun, if fairly humid, afternoon.

Getting soaked at the bar? Might as well grab a cold one.

A few hardy souls saw the futility of standing under the minimal cover, and thought it would be a good time to play Jenga.

While others created makeshift shelters in an effort to stay moderately dry.

Several people who couldn’t find shelter under the bar or in the makeshift tents made use of what little protection they had from the elements.

IMG_8206All in all, a pretty memorable time for all involved. And since we didn’t have time to go over the answers for the final round, here they are:

1. What fruit flavor will you find in abundance in a crepe suzette?

Orange

2. What was the name of Anthony Bourdain’s first book?

Kitchen Confidential

3. Lake Champlain lies between what two states?

New York, Vermont

4. What actresses breakout role was as Tony Montana’s wife in Scarface?

Michelle Pfeiffer

5. What candy bar was named after the inventor’s family horse?

Snickers

6. What is the Turkish word for fate?

Kismet

7. What’s the capital of Oregon?

Salem

8. The inventors of Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper all had the same profession. What was it?

OK, So Completely Disregard Everything I Said Earlier Today

The Best Little Whorehouse in Philly…in 1849

ft8199p209_00008

Stumbled across something awesome recently: an 1849 guide to dens of ill repute in Philadelphia. It formed the basis of most of our podcast this past week (how much would you need to pay us to travel back in time and sleep with the toothless Ms. Hamilton?) You may also want to give it a read. The intro is great: snarky and completely disingenuous. The reviews are amazing: “Beware of this house, stranger, as you would the sting of a viper.”

I also found this interesting, and we discussed it in the podcast:

In the nineteenth century, a woman who owned property, made high wages, had sex outside of marriage, performed or received oral sex, used birth control, consorted with men of other races, danced, drank, or walked alone in public, wore makeup, perfume, or stylish clothes — and was not ashamed — was probably a whore.

Shoutout to Ben of Imaginary Goats for pointing this guidebook out to me. If anyone else has any weird or quirky historical stuff that you think would make good podcast fodder, please don’t hesitate to send it my way.

Quizzo Tonight

Action kicks off at Alla Spina with Carl B Sure at 8 p.m. and at O’Neals at 8 also. I’ll be heading over to City Tap House, where you not only have a great shot of winning a $100 gift cert (it’s really anybody’s ballgame over there) but you also get to play outdoors on the patio. Going to be an absolutely beuatiful night to play outdoors. We’ll also be raising money for the Dude Hates Cancer at the quiz tonight. We raised $200 last night at Sidecar, and are hoping to make $2k on the week.

Hope to see ya tonight!
