As if the potential for free fries wasn’t enough to bring you out to quizzo tonight, we’ve sweetened the pot at the Bards, as any team that knocks off Steak Em Up will get $20 cash in addition to their $40 gift certificate. Not a bad deal. Speaking of good deals, all Lagers and Miller Lites are $2.50 at the Bards as well. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. Not to be outdone, our earlier quiz at the Ugly American features $1 off all drafts, and action starts at 8 p.m. Hope to see you tonight!

Hey kids, just a quick note about tonight. First off, we are ON for the Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. sharp. Want to be done by 7:45 so there is plenty of time for people to get Flyered up. (Hockey game doesn’t start until 8 p.m.) There is no quizzo at Black Sheep tonight due to the game. We’ll resume next week at 8 p.m. If you normally play at Black Sheep, I’d encourage you to take the opportunity to check out a change of venue. $1 corn dogs at Ugly American and a $15 Bounty at the Bards (meaning $55 for the winners) tomorrow night. If you are going to try to play tonight at the Vous, I would highly advise you to make reservations. I think we’re going to have a pretty good sized crowd. Oh, and the question of the day still hasn’t been answered on facebook.

Yes, folks, there is a $20 Bounty on for tonight at the Bards tonight. That means that the winning team gets a $40 gift certificate plus $20 cash if they can knock off Steak Em Up. Action there starts at 10:15 p.m. Of course, it’s not the only big money on the line tonight. The prize money took a significant jump recently at O’Neals, with the winning team walking with $50, and 2nd place walking with $25. Action starts there are 8 p.m. Hope to see you tonight! (Oh, and there are also rumors of a Mystery Round).

A couple of quick notes as we head into the weekend. First of all, there WILL be a quiz at the Westbury on Monday night. Mike Minion will be hosting and the questions will be about American history. Action starts at 10:30 p.m. Here’s a quick blurb from Mike.
Monday at the Westbury will be American History Day.  In honor of the people who have served our country, we’re going focus on the services and what they fight for. Also, the theme round will be devoted to the birthplace of liberty, our own fair city.  So, come out on Monday and prove you’re a real American by battling for trivia glory and freedom.  As usual, we’ll start the contest at 10:30 PM.  I hope some new teams and history buffs will show up to give the regulars a run for their money.  Have a great weekend!

As for other news, first of all keep in mind that next week there will be Bounty Bowls at the Bards both nights! That’s right, Steak Em Up has now won 5 in a row on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Tuesday will be a $20 Bounty and Thursday a $15 bounty. Action both nights starts at 10:15 p.m. There will be a quiz at the Rendezvous on Wednesday, but there will not be a quiz at the Black Sheep due to the Flyers. There was some controversy at the UA Thursday night (basically, I blew it on a question and it killed the Diabetics) but I’ll talk more about that in the power rankings on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday, and I’ll holler at you again on Tuesday with the Power Rankings.

Yes folks, French Fry THursday is back in full effect, with a special twist at the Ugly American. In addition to the free fries we give away each Thursday, Ugly American has a pretty badass special they’ve started rolling out: $1 corndogs during Phillies games. And since the Phillies will be playing tonight…you do the math. This may be the most badass deal in town. Action starts at UA at 8 p.m. On to the Bards, where things got a little bit AWESOME after the regular game on Tuesday. We are not allowed to say what happened for legal reasons but it included Steak Em Up losing money and Team Friendship screaming about “Pride” and “All or Nothing”. We’ll just leave it at that. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. and if Look Up Look Down plays, we have a feeling things are going to turn crazy at the end. But that’s just between you and me. See ya tonight! (Oh, and nobody has answered the question of the day yet on facebook.)

First off, mark Tuesday on your calendars. It just got even bigger. There is a $15 Bounty on Steak Em Up, so now there is $150 worth of prizes on the line Tuesday. Yes, O’Neals will be back in action on Tuesday night. I am praying that the Flyers finish this thing in Five so they don’t wreck any more of my quizzes. If not, check back next week and I’ll let you know what we are going to do about Game 6 (which would be on Wednesday at 7 p.m.) I suspect we’d be fine at Black Cheep, which isn’t really a sports bar, but we’ll see what happens with Rendezvous. We’ll have a plan in place by early next week. They hate to cancel quizzo, so I suspect the show would go on, but stay tuned.

Good week this week. Three big upsets, which is always good news, and four of the six quizzes came down to less than one question. Big ups to Inglorious Barristers, who after months of trying and several 2nd place finishes, finally claimed their first win. Also, congrats to Look Up, Look Down, Now I’m a Horse. They are playing well and seem to be having a lot of fun doing it. Finally, a big shout out to Why Can’t Us. Team member Audra’s last quiz was on Thursday (She’s moving to San Fran), and they came away with a big win in her final quiz. Also moving, Team #Friendship member and renowned local comic Kent Haines, who is headed to Chiacgo. Want to wish both Audra and Kent Happy Trails and best of luck in their new spots.

Westbury quiz is going well. We have four regular teams and a few newbies every week, but could certainly use another team or two if you’re thinking about playing. Their drink specials are always ridiculous and it’s a good (albeit difficult) quiz.

Working on a Wild card round for Tuesday that will be unlike any we’ve ever done. It’s going to be insane.

Finally, be sure to join me over on Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo on Facebook. Gonna be doing some fun stuff with it in the near future, once we get enough people on there.

Have a great weekend everybody. See ya next week.

It was 83 years ago today that Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris after flying across the Atlantic Ocean, and became one of the great American heroes of the 20th century. Of course, less than 15 years later, he would be seen as a villain by most Americans, and his legacy has been a source of controversy ever since.

Ok so we’re still working on a name for Wednesdays. Regardless, it is a good night to quiz. We start at the Vous at 6:15 p.m., as of late the most competitive quizzo on the scene. Not to be outdone, there is plenty of parity at the Black Sheep as well (with, quite frankly, a better chance to win if you score less than 100.) Black Sheep kicks off at 8 p.m. A very interesting wild card round tonight which I think is going to even the playing field at both venues. We’ll see.

I remember reading about this when I was a kid and thinking it was really cool. New England’s day of Darkness…when darkness fell at noon and didn’t lift for over 24 hours.There wouldn’t be another day of darkness  again in New England until 2010, when Boston’s hockey squad squandered a 3-0 Series lead to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Do you think an ad showing a mom holding a baby with dozens of caffeine pills within arms reach on a nearby table is necessarily a good message to send? Also, what’s up with that hair?
