Alright kids, get yourselves ready for questions about jilted lovers, bad love songs, celebrity breakups, and crimes of passion. It’s time for the annual Valentine’s Week Massacre!

No, not for quizzo. I have a couple of great kids in my basketball/tutoring program that need part-time jobs. If anybody is looking for entry level help from one or more 16-18 year olds with great personalities and work ethics please contact me. Thanks.

Ok, so this is really cool. JohnniE of Duane’s World went back to last year’s scoreboard and tallied up all the wins and 2nd place finishes of the teams at all 6 quizzes, as well as the 10 high scores. He then found out how much each bar paid and came up with total earnings. Then, this morning, I went into a spreadsheet and entered the stats. However, some teams change names regularly, so I’ve had to spend a fair amount of time trying to remember what aliases certain teams have used. So a couple of teams I could be slightly off on their 2nd place finishes. But winners should be right on. If you wanna go back and doublecheck your team by pouring through last years scoreboard, feel free to. Just contact me and I can go back and change the stats. So far, I have gotten through half. So I’ll present those to you now. It’s kind of a time consuming process, so I’ll try to get the other three done either tomorrow or definitely Wednesday. This is very, very cool for us quiz nerds. Thanks again to JohnniE. Enjoy:

Alright, posting pics of last weeks winners with questions about people celebrating b-days today underneath. One guess per person.

Swung by the Golden Palace today and met with the manager. Very friendly, and hopefully we can do this. I am looking at possibly April 11. On March 7th and 14th Temple and/or Penn is on break, March 21 I’m in Vegas, March 28th is still a possibility, and April 4th is the Final Four. Anyways, he’s gonna get back to me with a rental rate in the next couple of days. The place is plenty big for 300 and we’d do it dim sum style, and either get kegs or do a BYO. Then we gotta find an afterparty. Connie’s Ric Rac looks booked up already. Any other South Philly ideas?

As for tonight, we kick it off at the Good Dog at 8 p.m., and the Bards at 10 p.m. See ya tonight!

This went down in West Philly today: As the officers spoke with the woman, a male passenger fled from the vehicle on foot. The suspect got away and police said an officer who was chasing him suffered minor injuries in the pursuit…A K-9 unit search of the car following the arrest turned up nearly 60 pounds of marijuana.

(A Michael Phelps reference in my headline instead of Newton would have been gratuitous and simple playcating to the masses.)

Ok, so I’ve been a total slacker. But it’s been a vacation week, with football, and snow, and birthdays, and such. Anyways, here ya go. Pics of last weeks winners with questions about people celebrating a birthday today. One guess per person.

Yeah, it’s my birthday. I ain’t ashamed. Now go buy me something.

If that had been Philly instead of Arizona, and the result had been exactly the same, this would have been the post game analysis in this city:
“Kurt Warner cost his team the game. Yeah, he put up big numbers, but that interception at the end of the first half is what lost the game. Kurt Warner is simply not a big game quarterback. 1-2 in Super Bowls? What a choker. He got saved in that first Super Bowl by London Fletcher. And then after the game, he said he was proud of being a part of three great Super Bowl games. That shows me that he doesn’t care if he wins, as long as he keeps it close. And then to fumble with 5 seconds left? Inexcusbale. This team needs to get rid of Warner and go with Leinart.”

Alright kids, it’s the last night of Nobody scores 100 week, and I’m hoping to crush your souls and spirits again tonight. First off, at the Good Dog, where things are still pretty wide open. Ever team has a chance at the Good Dog. Except for the Underachievers. But I love ’em for showing up every week anyway. Game is at 8 p.m.

If you want instant quizzo fame (and who doesn’t, really?), then win tonight at the Bards. There are rumors of the Sofa Kingdom, Hurtin Bombs, Satan’s Minions and Lamda Lamda Lamda all being there, so if you pull off the win, you’re sending a message. Kickoff at 10:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!
