Everything You Need to Know about Everything

Alright kids, I’m heading down to the ballpark, but I wouldn’t leave you without a few great sites to visit this afternoon.

First of all, if you have never seen Awkward Family Photos, you’re welcome. Funniest site I’ve seen in a while Thanks to Matt for letting me know about this one.
Second, if you’re a baseball geek, I came up with a really tough baseball quiz. See how ya do.
If you haven’t been to the website of notorious Philly legend Arthur Kade, please do yourself a favor. It is a brilliant site, as I still can’t tell if this is a put-on or not. I just can’t imagine a guy like this could walk around Philly and not get the living s*** kicked out of him every day if this was for real.
Here’s my latest in the Metro about strange upcoming festivals. For more info on these festivals, see below:

Quiz of the Day

This one is about The Longest things. And I’ll just tell you right now that apparently a new river has taken the crown away from what was America’s longest river when I was in school. Who knew that a river could grow in 20 years? That one got me really frustrated, but I eventually got it. I ended up with 20 out of 26. Let me know how you do on this quiz in the comments. (That’s the world’s longest hot dog above. It’s over 60 meters long, which I think is like 200 feet. But I’m not sure. Anyhow, there are no questions about the longest hot dog on the quiz.)

Which of these do you hate the most?

Just curious.

Quizzo Tonight

Quiz on Your Face have quickly become the first true rivals the Jams have had at the Vous in a while, and 1022 has added some muscle, so things are no longer a cakewalk for the Jam Masters. Will be interesting to see how things play out tonight at 6:15 p.m. I will warn you: this is the toughest quiz we’ve had in a few weeks. I don’t think anyone’s had a perfect round one yet. But I think it’s a good quiz. On to Black Sheep, where Duane’s World is unquestionably the team to beat. Can they be knocked off tonight? Kick off is at 8 p.m.

Lebowski Fest Coming to Philly, Dude

Lebowski Fest is coming to Philadelphia in September. Just thought you kids might want to know. Tickets go on sale Friday, man.

Daily Quiz

Ok, so I’ve fallen behind a bit on teh daily quiz. But today I have two. This one is on sitcom surnames. I scored a 7 out of 10. Let me know how you do in the comments below. And if you want to play a good sports quiz, click here.

Interesting Interview with Buddy Holly’s Guitarist

Today is Ritchie Valens birthday (he would be turning 68). He was not supposed to be on the plane on the Day the Music Died (my birthday, February 3). It was supposed to be Tommy Allsup, guitarist for Buddy Holly. But Valens was bugging him to take his spot, so finally he took out a coin and tossed it. Valens won the toss. In the video above, Allsup discusses the last concert at the Surf Ballroom.

Quizzo Tonight

Dorksided and Why’s John’s Rum Gone battle for Supremacy of O’Neals tonight, while Savage Henry tries to defend their crown from last week. Or is your team primed to make a move? Actions starts at 8 p.m. Then on to the Bards, where the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion is keeping it rather close with the Sofa Kingdom. Action starts at 10:15. There are also rumors of a possible Lambda and Axis of Evil Knieval sightings sometime this week. We shall see.

More Quizzo Stats

This is very cool. The quizzos I host on Tuesday and Wednesday are essentially the same quiz. (Sometimes I make minor corrections after O’Neals. It it’s too easy I make it harder, if it’s too hard I make it easier, but I rarely tweak more than one question.) So it’s pretty fair to compare the Jam’s scores with the Sofa Kingdom’s scores to Dorksided’s scores, etc. That’s what we’ve done here. Highest score from the four bars on Tuesday and Wednesday gets two points for a win, 2nd highest score between the 4 bars gets a single point. Points are then added up to see who the top teams are on that particular quiz. (Since we had a bit of an upheaval the past few months on Thursday, we did not do those, but we’ll start comparing Ugly American to the Bards Thursday as well.) I would like to give a HUGE shout out to John Edgar of Duane’s World, who compiled all of these stats so that we can compare scores, winning pct., etc. Here are your top ranked teams. Enjoy!
