Wanna remind you once again that there will be no quizzo at the Black Sheep tonight. We return there in full force next week.

Got this email from fellow quizmaster John this morning:

So what do you do when an actual fight breaks out at Quizo? I don’t
think there’s a three-ring binder for that one.

This actually happened at Downey’s tonight. Some a****** who wasn’t
playing was shouting out answers, I asked him to stop like five times,
the bartender asked him to stop, and finally in the middle of Round 2
one of the other players just walked over and took a swing at the guy.
Clocked him right in the side of the head. Bouncers were called, et
al. Stopped the game for a good twenty minutes.

That’s priceless. If the guy who got punched decides to sue, I honestly think that we should raise funds for the attackers defense team.

What kind of animal killed an Australian baby named Azaria Chamberlain on August 17th, 1980? Also, check back here at 3 o’clock today, as a big announcement is forthcoming.

It was on this day in 1962 that Pete Best was dumped as drummer for the Beatles, so I’ve been tooling around, trying to find some kool Pete Best sites and interviews. Here’s an interview he did in 1965. Here’s a pretty good story followed by a Q&A from 1995. Here’s a guy writing that Best deserved to get sacked for Ringo. What is Pete up to today? Rockin’ and rollin’.

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to two of the most influential people of the last 250 years. First, we have Napoloeon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French and King of Italy (remember, he designed their flag). But his death is the casue of more speculation than his birth, as many people think he was poisoned. Here’s an interesting article on that. Also celebrating a birthday today is Ben Affleck, star of the box office sensation Gigli. If anyone out there has seen this movie, please give me a review. Here’s what the critics said when it came out. This is pretty funny.

There will be no quizzo at the Black Sheep this week, as they are closed for a few days. Just letting ya know.

Hey, here’s an article written by my former radio partner, Nat “The Truth” Jones, about his bitterness surrounding the Trojan War. I think you’ll enjoy it.

So, the Trojan War. Have you heard about this debacle? Do you know anything about this? Man, the Trojans really dropped the ball on that one, didn?t they? I know it was a long time ago and things have changed, but let me just start by saying that if I had bet money on the Trojans to win that war, I would?ve been totally livid with the outcome. Allow me to set the stage:

Alright gang, there’s a lot going on right now, so let me get it organized into a neat little package for you. Letters of complaint to the editor of Philly magazine (lplatt@phillymag.com, with a copy of said letter being sent to johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com)) are due by 11:59 p.m. Sunday night. They do not have to be solely about quizzo, they just have to have some mention of the Quizzo exclusion in them. The writer of the best letter gets $50 cash. The “Best Golf Porn Title” contest also ends on Sunday. Best title for a golf porn (starring, of course, Tag Ridings and Jenna Jameson) wins a $15 gift certificate to Good Dog. “Is that all? Fifteen bucks?” Yes, that’s all. Get over it. If you are hoping to earn points to help your team Beat the Champs, remember I must have physical or photographic evidence by next Sunday, August 21. Also, I would love you to send me some of your favorite photos that you have taken of Philly. I’ve got a really neat idea for the Big Event, but I can’t do it without you. Please send photos to beatthechamps@yahoo.com or johnny@Johnnygoodtimes.com.
