Yesterday, I went over to my Little Brother’s house because it was his 12th birthday, so his family was getting together for cake and ice cream. (His mom got trick candles. I am a big fan of trick candles.) Anyways, we’re hanging out front on the street throwing the football and his buddy Phillip comes riding up on his scooter with tinfoil in his hand.

“Hey Steve, I forgot it was your birthday until like an hour ago, so this is all I could get you.” So he opens up the tinfoil, and pulls out a cookie from a nearby bakery. Then he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a dollar in change, the only other thing he could scrounge up in the past hour so that he could give his buddy a birthday present. Awesome.

Alright, gang, I’m off to the Phils game. But I will be in action this evening. Bards, 10 p.m. Man, looks so lonely, just sitting there by itself. Hope to have a new Thursday gig in the next week or two. I’ll keep ya updated. See ya tonight.

Alright, kids, we’re back in action tonight. Locust Rendezvous at 6:15, as 1022 tries to defend their crown. Always great beer and drink specials at the Vous and of course the added attraction of Darth Ern. Then it’s on to the Black Sheep, where Duane’s World is aiming for their 3rd straight win. Can you knock them off? Action starts at 8 p.m. ‘

As for Thursdays, I have a meeting today. If it goes well, we could have a new spot by next week. I’ll keep ya updated.

See how well you know your states with this quiz. I flubbed it a little bit at the start but then it gets easy. My final score was a 88.23. Play it and post your score in the comments. No looking at a map either.

Your boyfriends back, and there’s gonna be trouble. Hey-ya, hey-ya, my quizman’s back. That’s right folks, after a week in Puerto Rico I’m speaking fluent Spanish, but will host tonight’s quizzo in English for you, the fans. O’Neals at 8 p.m. Bards at 10 p.m. Probably looking at one quiz this week…BUT I am hoping to have a new quiz lined up and started next week, and then we’ll be back on a two quiz a week schedule. Meeting tomorrow. I’ll let you know what happens.

Hey kids, hope you were able to get by in my absence. Puerto Rico was great. A couple of days in the rain forest, a couple of days on Vieques, and a couple of days in Old San Juan. Needless to say, hearing about Harry while in a Puerto Rican rainforest was a blow (I did my crying while hiking through the jungle.) But all in all, it was a great trip. I hope to have my photos developed and posted soon (the above is a view of the place we stayed in the rainforest). Also, I’ll get scores on the site as soon as I get them from Mike Minion and Sandman. Finally, details of tonight’s comedy show coming soon.

A Phillie we never booed has passed away. RIP Harry Kalas

As you know by now, I am headed to Puerto Rico for the week, leaving you with feelings of abandonment and disillusionment. I know, I understand. But fear not, youngsters, there will still be quizzo and there will still be action on this here site. I will post Quizzo Bowl questions on the site next week, and then post a question each day for you guys to discuss in the comments. Of course, I won’t be posting them, Trivia Art will. I won’t even have my computer on me. Che-ya! As far as quizzo is concerned, the Sandman will be hosting Tuesday at O’Neals and Bards, Mike Minion will host at the Rendezvous and the Black Sheep on Wednesday, and then Sandman will be back on Thursday at the Bards. Yeah, one quiz. We’ll be back on a regular schedule one of these days. I have a couple of meetings lined up to discuss a new Thursday spot when I get back. Hoping to be up and running on Thursdays starting in May. Alright kids, well mind the store while I’m gone and be nice to your substitute. See ya when I see ya. Woo-hoo!
