I’m getting kind of tired of the songs on my iPod and was wondering if anyone wanted to play some of their tunes at quizzo this week. If you are interested, shoot me an email (johnnygoodtimes@hotmail.com) and let me know at which quizzo you wanna DJ at. First come first serve. Word.

So I got one of those “My late husband sent me a ton of money and I need to give some of it to you, complete stranger” emails yesterday, and being it was a rainy Sunday, I decided to respond (that’s the passport she sent me, above). Here was the initial email, with my response after the jump. She actually wrote back to me today! If I do decide to contact her lawyer, I’ll let you know. Oh, and I hope you will follow her advice to “always be prayerful”.

Dear Beloved,

Glory to God in heaven. My name is Mrs. Anne Marie Joubert from South Africa. I am married to Mr. Abraham Benjamin Joubert, who is a mechanical engineer worked with shell petroleum company for many years before he died in 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited a total sum of $10.5 Million ( Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars) with a security and finance company in Europe.

Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the reserve company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next seven months due to my cancer problems. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke. Having known my condition, I decided to donate this fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church or God fearing individual that will use this fund on, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and give help to mankind. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that givet.

I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my husband’s hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health condition and the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development.

With God all things are possible. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein. Hoping to hear from you as soon as possible.

Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ, Read Hebrews13:15v16 New Living Translation
Mrs. Anne Marie Joubert.
After the break, Johnny responds.

-This is hilarious. Top 10 streaking videos of all time. To be honest, the ones rated 1-4 are the lamest, but the first six videos are priceless. More silly than offensive, but probably not safe for work.

-Bill Moyers, one of the few television journalists with any cojones, talks about Karl Rove’s legacy.

-I care about you guys. I really do. That’s why I want you to hold your right hand up and make the following pledge: “No matter how drunk I get, I will never, NEVER, climb inside a bear cage.”

–Dick Cheney can tell the future!

-The Phillies “Quest to miss the wild card by one game” got a shot in the arm yesterday, as the Phils pulled defeat from the jaws of victory and blew a four run lead for the 2nd straight game against the worst team in the National League. I’d like to reiterate a guarantee I made months ago: The Phils will be tied for the wild card lead going into the final series of the season, then will lose two of three to the Nationals and miss it by one game.

Gonna throw the pics of last weeks winners up. Yesterday was Coco Chanels birthday, so this weeks topic will be Cocoa. One Guess per person. No cheating!

The final Constitution Center Quizzo is tonight at 6:30 p.m. If the weather is nice, we’ll do it out on the deck. Quizzo is free with Museum admission. Each member of the winning team gets a $20 gift certificate to the Stephen Starr restaurant of their choice. ‘m not expecting a huge crowd, so this is a good chance to a victory. And yes, they will be serving alcohol. See ya there!

-In the photo above are my parents, whose team finished third last night at the Good Dog, and my friend Shannon, who just coincidentally was in Philly as well on a work assignment. She and I were good friends in elementary, middle and high school. No, we never dated. What part of “I was a loser in high school” do you not understand? She now lives in Baton Rouge.

–The Metro has a new Eagles blog. It’s pretty good.

–The Lovely Ginger has started her own blog. How did I find out? Not because she told me, the guy who gave her big break in the blogging industry. Oh noooooooooo. I found out because Foobooz linked to her yesterday. Ginger and I are officially in a fight. I may need a new co-host for Quizzo Bowl 4.

-I received the following text message from Smackdown last night, who was playing in an Rock Paper Scissors tourney: I just won my RPS round…and they called out that I was your friend. Everyone booed! I think that making myself the most hated man on the Philadelphia RPS circuit may be my greatest accomplishment. As Reggie Jackson said, “Fans don’t boo nobodies.”

-Show at Medusa is still on for Saturday night at 7 p.m., and it’s gonna be a good show, but I’m off the bill. My folks are in town, and I don’t wanna have to be gretting ready for stuff all three nights they are here. Still gonna be good though, with Chip headlining.

They’re going to be raising money at O’Neals this Sunday with their “Get in the Pink” event on Sunday from 12-5, raising money for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. Press release after the jump.

It was 30 years ago today that the King passed away. I’ll be playing lots of Elvis tonight at quizzo.

Can You Smell What the Scorpion King is Cooking pulled off a victory at the Franklin Institute on Friday night, edging Osirus’s Minions, 91-86. But the real story was the melt down of the 3d place team, Duck Butter. Featuring Trivia Art, Smackdown, and D-Mac, the Butter had a perfect score going into the final round, but only answered 4 correctly in round four to finish with an 84, out of the money. The next museum quizzo will be this friday at the Constitution Center at 6:30 p.m.. Be there!
