Tobe Hooper directed this film classic, which debuted on October 18, 1974.

The “bad guy” in the upcoming Rocky movie will be named Mason “The Line” Dixon. Apollo Creed? Great name. Clubber Lang? Not bad. Mason “The Line” Dixon? Huh? Was the name International “The Date” Line already taken? If they were looking for names of events of the 1750’s, did they consider the name Frenchie “And Indian” Warr? Did Stallone want to pay tribute to his favorite 18th century surveyors? If you want to learn more about the Mason-Dixon line, click here. Actually, don’t. Let’s not kid ourselves. Nobody cares about the Mason Dixon Line. Also, it’s believed that producers are negotiating with boxer Antonio Tarver to play Dixon. If there’s one thing that we learned from Rocky V, it’s that boxers automatically make great actors. Tommy Morrison’s acclaimed film career (2 Oscars, multiple leading man roles) got it’s start in Rocky V.

Moustache Rides: The Erotic Journey of Joseph Stalin was voted worst possible musical title, and Eric will be receiving tickets to go see the latest Philadelphia Theatre Company play, Adrift in Macao. Congratulations, Eric!

Whoever has the most votes when I wake up tommorrow morning will win the “Worst Musical Name Contest.”

Hey, I’m heading home this weekend for my sister’s wedding, so I might get a little backed up on stories and pics, etc. I’ll be back on Sunday night, and will get everything caught up then. Wanna say thanks to everybody who came out to see Super Diamond last night, I hope you had fun. I hope everybody has a great weekend, and I look forward to seeing you next week! Take it lite-JGT.

Despite the fact that Johnny’s career is skyrocketing (last week Rock paper scissors, this week Neil Diamond cover band, the sky is the limit?) and he won’t be able to host quizzo tonight, the show will go on. Oh yes. Pedro Mays will be serving as your amiable host at both the Good Dog and the Bards.

Johnny’s handlers have announced that he is listed as “doubtful” to rap at tonight’s show. “Johnny suffered a bruised larynx while rapping at the RPS tourney on Saturday, and we feel at this time, it would be folly to push it, push it good,” said his physician, Dr. Bartleby McDowell. “He needs to give the old rap voice a rest.”

One of my favorite people in American history, Joshua A. Norton, was the only emperor in the history of the United States. It was on this date in 1859 that he ordered the United States Congress to dissolve. Sadly, they did not. There is talk of an emperor coming to Philadelphia, but all we’ve heard thus far have been whispers. We’ll let you know if anything comes up.

As many of you know, I was fortunate enough to host the 1st Annual Rock Paper Scissors Keystone Classic on Saturday night. If I had to describe the event in one word, that word would be…intense. There was an intensity brought by the stars of the sport, such as the Midnight Rider. The complete drunks who yelled throughout the contest brought a certain intensity. The bachelorette party, complete with the bride-to-be showing her t*** on stage, brought a certain level of intensity, as did the fans who came to see the heavy metal band that took the stage following the tourney. Yep, it was one of those nights that is magical, as much for the reason that no-one got killed as anything else.
