Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo is on the Encore channel, and I can’t miss a moment of it. It’s simply too nuanced of a film to miss a moment or I’m going to be lost, so I’m gonna be brief. First of all, great to see everybody after a couple of weeks off. A couple of quick notes. Over the weekend, I’m finally gonna get back to working on the year in review and have it posted. As for Quizzo Bowl, we’re still looking at February 21st, though it hasn’t been finalized quite yet. In other news, the Chip Chantry One Man Show is on Monday at the Khyber. There is also a bowling party on January 24th in South Philly. I’ll have more details Monday. And Go Eagles!

Quizzo Tonight
Kick it off at Good Dog at 8 p.m., and then we hit the Bards at 10:15 p.m. In the meantime, here’s a few things of note on Totalphilly.
Chip Gets Some Local News Love
Our good friend Sarah B. over at NBCPhiladelphia just did an interview with our sworn mortal enemy, Chip Chantry. Chip talked about the Philly comedy scene, about his upcoming One Man Show, and even got a jibe in at Manyunk. For more info on the show, click here.
Larry Flynt, Real American Hero
Larry Flynt is in the news quite a bit these days. First of all, he’s requesting a bailout from Congress for the porn industry: The economy has hurt their businesses, too, Flynt and (Girls Gone Wild Owner Joe) Francis said — sales of XXX DVDs are down 22 percent — and they want $5 billion from the government. Congress must “rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America,” Flynt said. Perhaps the bailout money could go toward Larry’s lawyer fees. He is currently suing two of his nephews for putting out inferior porn under the Flynt family name. And people say Americans don’t take pride in their work anymore!
Ann Coulter Continues to be a Goon
Ann Coulter was bumped off of the TODAY Show yesterday because they decided to interview Tony Blair. Coulter then played the victim card that she is constantly haranguing liberals for making and said that NBC had banned her for life (not true, of course), so then TODAY had her on today and she had a contentious matchup with Matt Lauer. This came a day after a battle she had with Harry Smith in which she said that “Every assassin in the history of the nation has either been a liberal, a communist, an anarchist, someone on the left…they are basically Obama’s base.” Coulter has apparently never heard of John Wilkes Booth, a staunch southern conservative. Of course this whole thing is a ruse to sell books. It is interesting only because it is early January and there ain’t s*** happening in the news. But even then, this whole act is getting pretty tired.
Happy Birthday Orval!
Just a quick note to wish a happy 99th birthday to one of our favorite names of all time: former Arkansas governor Orval Faubus. Just say his name a few times while trying not to smile. Orval Faubus, Orval Faubus, Orval Faubus. It makes my lips tingle.
The Chip Chantry One Man Show (With Special Guests!)
Longtime JGT advisor and cohort Chip Chantry (above, right) has decided to take matters into his own hands…by hosting a one man show! That’s right, no more worrying about what performers are available, who’s going to show up, paying everyone a cut of the door, etc. Nope, this is just going to be Chip and Chip alone, the solo star of his one man show. But in a break from most one man shows, Chip will also be inviting some special guests. For the first show, he’ll have David James, named Philly’ Phunniest at Helium in 2006, Kent Haines, named Philly’s Phunniest in 2008, Comics vs. Audience scribe Dave Walk, sketch group Secret Pants, and me, Johnny Goodtimes. It’s going down at the Khyber on Monday, January 12th, at 8:30 p.m. That’s right, this is your chance to see Chip and Chip only!* This is a one man show you’ll never forget!
*along with his special guests.
Back in Action
It’s back on like the break of dawn. Tonight, we kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m., followed by the Bards at 10 p.m. And don’t be a sissy about the weather, either. Seriously. Also, an interesting find today: looks like the Philly mint is putting out crappy coinage, while the Denver mint is dropping a high quality product. I expect we’ll hear from the Geeks who Drink Crowd about this feather in their cap. And click here to find out why I think the Eagles will win the Super Bowl. See ya tonight!
The Question of the Week
On January 6, 1994, Nancy Kerrigan was brutally attacked by a man named Shane Stant, who had been hired by Tanya Harding’s husband. In what city did this savage attack take place?
