A few weeks ago, quizzo regular Matt Ortman asked me to help him propose to his girlfriend Katherine. Some of you old schoolers might remember that I had performed this ritual several years ago**, and I pitched the idea to Matt that we do this one in a similar fashion: by spelling out the BIG QUESTION via quizzo answers. (These were all different questions than last time, btw.) Let’s see if you can figure it out. I had one team pick up on it early, but pretty much everybody else there (including the lady in question) had no clue that something was up as I asked the first round questions. The answers (and more importantly, her answer) after the jump.

1. The Caribou and the moose actually belong to what family of animals?
2. Three of Henry VIII’s wives had the same first name. What was it?
3. Where on the body will you find the acqueos humor and the hyaloid canal?
4. What’s the last name of Kurt Cobain’s former wife?
5. What is a female sheep called?
6. By George, he’s written a conservative column for the Washington Post since the 1970s and also written several books about baseball.
7. What letter came before the word boat in the name of these German submarines used in both World War I and World War 2?
8. Queen Elizabeth I had this Queen of Scots executed for treason in 1587.
9. What is the postal code for Maine?
10. Questlove doesn’t normally start his name with a Q, but with this, sometimes called an interrogation point?

Yes, there is quizzo tonight. It’s no inauguration ball, but it’ll do. O’Neals at 8 p.m. Bards at 10 p.m. Hope to see you there! (To Obamify yourself, click here.)

Ok, gonna post pics of last week’s winners with questions about Edgar Allan Poe and his works below. One guess per person.

Just thought this was an interesting article in the NY Times, so I thought I’d share. Nicholas Kristof makes a good point. Shouldn’t we be campaigning people to have better conditions in sweatshops, not to close them down?

He knew his own needs and demands. May we all be so lucky.

Good Dog at 8 p.m. Bards at 10:15 p.m. Rumors of a music round tonight. In other news, Adolf Hitler got taken away from his parents and Terrell Owens is wrecking the Cowboys. See ya tonight!

Hadn’t watched this one in a while. It’s just as great as ever. In case you’re curious, the guy, Brian Collins, is now working as a reporter in Waco, Texas.

Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Also tonight, the Lovely Ginger is hosting Ladies Beer Club at the Irish Pol, a new bar in Old City (45 North 3rd Street). Word is they’ve got 40 beers on draft, and Ginger’s not letting you leave until you’ve tried all of them! Starts at 7:30. In case you’re looking for something interesting to read, here’s some cool info I found on a Hawaiian themed restaurant that used to be in Cherry Hill, and whose gift shop used to be designed like a giant pineapple. The pics I found are pretty awesome. Philly so needs a place like this.

Alright, gonna post pics of last weeks winners along with questions about people celebrating birthdays today. One guess per person. Cheya.

There is also a song called By the Time I get to Phoenix, that I think served as the inspiration for the title of the PE song, but it’s not as good of a song. And it doesn’t promote assassinating a public official, like the PE song does.
