Quizzo Tonight; and Should Donkey Punch Have Been Accepted on Jeopardy?

Back in action tonight. Things have been packed lately. A lot of fun. We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. $50 gift certificate for the winner. On to the City Tap House, where the gift cetificate is worth an astounding $100. Action starts there at 10:15 p.m.

In other trivia news, on Jeopardy last night, there was an answer that got Alex chuckling. The clue was, “A blow to the back of the neck is the punch named for this animal.” Mike answered “Donkey”. It was marked wrong and the answer they wanted was rabbit. But wait, isn’t “donkey” correct and the question flawed? Yes. Mike should have been given credit for his answer. A donkey punch is named for an animal and is a punch to the back of the neck. The fact that it occurs during sex is inconsequential. It is exactly what the question asked for. Mike should have been awarded $800, and Betsy should have had it taken away. Incidentally, pretty crazy that the round was “Punch” a week after my “Punch round” that did indeed include the answer “donkey punch”.

Question of the Week

Last night I spent a couple of minutes chatting with a homeless guy named Moses outside of Old Nelson. In the course of conversation he stumped me with a damn good question I thought would make for a solid question of the week: What is the creature with the binomial name turritopsis nutricula better known as?

Wanna Hear a Cool Story?

Shipwreck from Johnny Goodtimes on Vimeo.

My buddy Rob used to be a deep sea fisherman, fishing for conchs, sharks, and croaker. One November about 15 years ago, disaster struck and his boat went down. The resulting story has always been one of my favorites, so I wanted to be sure I recorded it for posterity. I think some of you might enjoy it too. No frills, no dramatic re-enactments, just some good old fashioned storytelling. And what a crazy story it was. (It should be noted that at the time of the wreck, Rob was the most anti-Christian person I knew. He now goes to church every Sunday.)
