Quizzo News and Notes

jgtlogo5.gif
Hey kids, a few quick notes before we part ways for the weekend. First of all, congrats to Quiz on Your Face, who became the first team other than the Jams to repeat at the Vous since last June (But My Mom Says I’m Cool). Next week, they will try to be the first team to win three straight other than the Jams since 2006. New quiz going up on Comcast On Demand Saturday, so be sure to check it out. I think the entertainment one goes up next, so go to On Demand>>Free Movies>>Trivia and Games>>Quizzo. Also, keep in mind that the new quiz starts at Ugly American next Thursday night at 7:30 p.m., so I’ll finally get off my lazy butt and do two sets of questions again. As for fun upcoming non-quizzo stuff, the Sly Fox Goat Races are Sunday, and I am doing stand up Monday night, so maybe I’ll see you at one of those. Finally, be sure to find out what wrestling manager Stan van Gundy looks like and how the Phillies got started in 1883 by going to isportacus. Have a great weekend, everybody.

Today in the Metro

Today’s column is about my bitterness towards Trivia Art, and how I am above shameless pandering. It was inspired when Art sent me an email telling me to eat a free cupcake above the fridge that he had gotten for free. I suddenly realized I was the person you give hand-me-down cupcakes to, which is a tough pill to swallow, even for “America’s Guest”. This column is very big of me, and an opportunity for you to appreciate how much integrity I have.

Quizzo News and Notes

Quizzo tonight at the Rendezvous at 6:15 and the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. I think this week’s quiz is a little easier than usual, to be honest, but I think it’s kinda fun. The Jams and Duane’s World both got knocked off last week. Will they bounce back tonight? We’ll find out soon. See ya tonight! Oh, and if you can’t make it out, check out the General Knowledge Quiz on Comcast On Demand. Find out how much you know about booze. Go to Comcast On Demand>>Free Movies>>Scene It Trivia>>General Knowledge Quiz.

Happy Birthday Tommy James

Crimson and Clover, by birthday boy Tommy James, has always been one of my favorite songs. James was the lead singer of the Shondells, who also had a hit with the song “I Think We’re Alone Now” (pre Tiffany). Funny story. When I was living in Hawaii, me and my friends used to always go to the restaurant where my girlfriend waited tables (Durty Jakes) for karaoke night. Me and a buddy of mine would sometimes do a duet of “I Think We’re Alone Now”, complete with us tumbling to ground and doing a Kid ‘n’ Play dance. Well, one night after we performed it, an older gentleman walked up to us and said, “I was in the band that did that song, and I have never seen it performed like that in my life.” The guy had been a member of the Shondells in the early days of the band. I asked him, “Did you do Crimson and Clover?” Sadly, no. He said that he had left the band before Crimson and Clover came out. It was the highlight of my music career until Eve said that “White boy got skills” after I dropped a few bars at an open mic at the 5 Spot about 6 years ago (true story.)
