Alright, kids, I’ll have the scoreboard up this afternoon. I’m running kind of slow today after staying up way too late last night going to the drag show at Bob and Barbara’s and then making the ill-fated decision of going to Lorenzo’s at 3 a.m. for a slice. Now I’m off to lunch at Mama’s, the best falafel in the world. Anyways, Monday is going to be huge. Huge, huge. Biggest day this city has seen since the Slinky was invented here. I have some pretty big announcements, including the Quizzo Bowl announcement. It looks like we’ve got a deal. Finally! So announcement on Monday, along with some other big things poppin’, including Quizzo on the TV. Keep in mind too that the Chip Chantry One Man Show (Featuring Special Guests) will be on Monday as well. It is on like a proverbial video game simian primate.

In case you missed it when I posted it last year, here are the sordid details of my first ever date, at the Dream Roller Rink with Amy Beth Conquest.

Today is a big day for birthday’s. Abe Lincoln and Charles Darwin both share their number 200th today. But another interesting birthday is being celebrated today as well. It is the 83rd birthday of Charles van Doren, the man who infamously cheated in the 1950s game show scandal. Here is his full explanation of the scandal, which he wrote for the New Yorker last year. Here is a writeup on the scandal from PBS.

Ok, next week is going to be huge. HUGE, people. First of all there is a tv rumor to be addressed. There will be a tv crew at one of next week’s quizzos. I won’t tell you which one because you glory hounds will all show up trying to take the spotlight away from ME, Johnny Goodtimes. So just come to quizzo next week and you may be on TV. Also, the Jams eeked out a win over Lamda in Double Overtime last night, so the Bounty is bumped up to $25 next week. As mentioned earlier, I have a great comedy show with Chip on Monday. Finally, I am extremely close to having a deal for Quizzo Bowl. I am almost sure I will have it signed by Monday. Stay tuned. I’m pretty sure we’re looking at March 28th, so save the date. Oh yeah, and a new quiz tonight. Good Dog at 8 p.m., and Bards at 10 p.m. See ya tonight.

Last night I asked what televangelist got busted with a prostitute in 1988, and said, “Lord I have sinned against you.” Well above is a short documentary on the fallout. Here is a pic of the prostitute he got busted with…the first time. I cannot find full video of this sermon anywhere, which is unbelievable. Here is the script of that famous speech. After he took a three month absence from the pulpit, Swaggart returned, saying, “If I don’t return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell.” Jimmy, who interestingly enough is cousins with Jerry Lee Lewis, got in trouble again in 1991 when he was caught with another hooker. Rather than confessing to the congregation this time, however, he told them that “The Lord told me it’s flat none of your business.” Ozzy Osbourne recorded a song about Swaggart called Miracle Man. Swaggart is still preaching the word of God, and God has to be extremely pleased with this development. Jim really seems like a pretty terrific guy. And he plays a pretty mean piano. (Seriously, his music isn’t that bad.)

…or out of town, can’t make it to quizzo, etc., please leave your disastrous dating story or breakup story below in comments. I have a couple of disasters I’ll be offering up on camera myself, and I got a couple of them last night, but I need more of yours. Bring your stories tonight to quizzo!

No, seriously, get your ass outdoors.

Alright, gang, an extra $20 on the table at the Rendezvous tonight, as any team that defeats the Jams (Winning team only) will get an extra 20 bones (Cash!) in addition to their gift certificate.

I want to compile your funniest, most tragic, most dramatic, etc. breakup stories and disastrous dating stories this week, so if you have any good ones please let me know. I want to get them on video this week and post them in time for Valentine’s. I will have the video camera on me at quizzo, and I’ll also be at Nodding Head on Wednesday after quizzo. What better time to discuss heartbreak and disaster than during the holidays? Let me know if you have any good ones. Because talking about it is the best therapy.

Alright, here ya go. The stats for the other 3 quizzes for 2008. Tomorrow, I’ll post the top money winners and scorers total. Again, some teams change names regularly, so if that includes you and you are uncredited for a win or 2nd place finish let me know. (If you missed the first three sets of stats, click here.)
