Is This Company Really Worth Saving?

GM.jpg
Here’s a fun fact for you: GM loses $1,271 every time they make a car. How is a business like that sustainable, and why bother saving it? If I had to pay the bars $20 every time they let me host a quizzo, my business wouldn’t last long. I’d hate to see so many people lose their jobs, but in a capitalist society, there is a need for business to, you know, make money at some point. How can American Taxpayers be expected to bail out a failed business that is certain to hemorrhage the money we give them every time they make a car?

No Good Dog Quizzo This Week

Quick heads up. There is no quizzo at the Good Dog this week. Apparently, they want to make “money” (Damn capitalists) so they’ve got a private gig going on. Anyhow, the good news is that this gives me a good excuse to be leisurely and only make one set of questions this week, so you won’t have to deal with the Sofa Kingdom on Thursday (they won by 48 points last night). Also, sold the first three teams tickets last night to Bowlizzo. Three down, nine to go. I’ll have tix on me tonight.

Bowlizzo Party on Saturday

The people have spoken. Let’s do this. Bowlizzo party on Saturday night at St. Monica’s (16th and Shunk, 3 blocks from Oregon stop on Orange Line). Here’s how it will work. Up to 12 teams, 6 players per team (You can have 8, but only 6 can bowl). $20 a head. Winner walks with $200, 2nd place gets $100. I’ll get a couple of kegs and some pretzels. Any extra money will go to my Little League at the Marian Anderson Rec Center. I will sell tickets at quizzo this week. First come, first serve on tickets. After 12 teams, I’m done (there are 12 lanes). I will have tickets for sale at all quizzos this week, so you can buy them off me there. It will go down on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., probably wrap up around 11 p.m. or so, or maybe 2 a.m. Who knows? Here’s how the scoring will work: bowling scores for each team will be averaged after every couple of rounds. They will then be added to quizzo score. So two frames, then Round One, two frames then Round Two, two frames, then Round Three, two frames then Round four, then it will all come down to the last two frames. I think this is going to be pretty wild.

Hey y’all. Still kicking it down in VA. Decided to hang around another night, so I’m gonna cruise back up tomorrow. Had a great Thanksgiving with the fam. Played in the alumni B-ball game on Friday night, did fairly well, then hung out with a few friends from elementary school (above). Hope you guys had a good holiday too. I’ll have scores and pics up tomorrow (I accidentally left my scoresheets and my camera in Philly.) Also, announcement about bowling party coming in a few minutes.
