Our family has an annual tradition of getting together with the family of my dad’s college roommate for the Super Bowl. My dad and his buddy Ron have watched every Super Bowl since Super Bowl III except for one when my mom was sick. Unfortunately, it looks like this year might be a wash due to this snow. So I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. Anyways, here’s a quiz on Super Bowl goats I think you might dig. Oh, and I’m rooting for the Saints. You?

In the airport, getting ready to board to head back to the Illadelph. I reread yesterdays post and I felt like I didn’t properly congratulate Dicker and the Geeks Who Drink gang for putting on such a great show. Please forgive me, Geeks, I wrote that first thing Sunday morning, when I was hungover and still a little bitter about the loss. 

The show was outstanding. It ran 4 hours, which is a little longer than they wanted it to run, but I’ll be honest, I was kinda bummed when their were no more questions to answer. I mean, I was a little quizzed out after 80 questions, but I could have taken 20 more.

I understand how difficult it is to put on Quizzo Bowl, so trust me, putting on a show as succesful as Geek Bowl was is no easy task. I should have written a bit more about that and been a little less petty about the questions in my original post. (That being said, I will never forgive Dicker for the Fruit Loops question. You hear me, Dicker? Never!)  

One thing I forgot to mention was the opening dance number, which was nothing short of spectacular. It was better than anything the Grammy’s put on last night. A choreographed dance number with like 30 quizzo hosts. I do have some video of it, which you’ll have to see to believe. (I wanted to post it today, but of course I lost my video charger, so it may be a couple of days.) Also, the music round was awesome. All of the songs were played live by a one man band. There is a very real possibility I could be shamelessly stealing this idea for Quizzo Bowl. 

All in all, I want to congratulate Dicker and the rest of the Denver crew for a job well done. I’m gonna work on the first half of the video on the flight home, so hopefully I’ll have something up by tomorrow.

The Inky did a story on our Denver-bound quizzo squad today. As for our team name, we got some good suggestions (we liked Rocky > Rockies; We Tap Ass, Not the Rockies and My Other Quiz Venue is a Kensington Crack Den), but we’re gonna go with “Trust Us We’re Doctors” and all wear the Dr. J shirt I am seen wearing above. (Our good friend Dan from phillyphaithful.com is hooking us up with the shirts. Be sure to scope out his website when you get a chance. They’ve got some great Philly t-shirts.) I want to also wear fake afros but I don’t know if I can find six of them before tomorrow.  I will be updating the blog throughout the weekend to let you know how things are going in Big D, so be sure to stay tuned.

Dunno, if you’ve seen this or not. If not, enjoy. It’s a hoot.

That’s right folks, we just put together this exciting new bar trivia game called “Quizzo” and we want to beta-test it tonight. Where can you play this revolutionary new game that we think will someday lead to major confrontations between Philadelphia and Denver? We’d suggest the Ugly American at 8 p.m. or the Bards at 10:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight, and tell ’em Large Marge sent ya!

The CGI graphics in this video must have cost a fortune, but it was money well spent. The video makes Avatar look like stick figures. However, it raises some questions. Like, how was Ocean able to keep singing as his car was filling up with water? And why is that duck carrying such a huge boombox? Also, after watching this video for the first time in years, I came to the conclusion that it’s about picking up a prostitute.

We kick it off at 6:15 p.m. at the Locust Rendezvous and then move to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Had good turnouts at both last week. Hope we can keep it going tonight. Instead of 50/50 or speed round last night we had a Mystery Round. I gotta admit, it stumped most teams. Will it stump yours? Find out tonight.

We kick off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Ivan the Trivial finally fell last week, and there should be plenty of teams vying to knock them off again. Then at 10:15 p.m. we move on to the Bards, where Steak Em Up seemingly has a stranglehold on first. Beating them is like beating the Yankees…all of America will love you for it. $2.50 Lagers and Bud Light drafts. Oh, and no 50/50 or speed round this week. Instead, something a little different. What is it?Find out by playing tonight.

The former Philly resident turns 201 today.
