Alright, since I’m kicking it in a Panera Bread Company in Maryland, questions under pics of the winners will be about Maryland. Last week, nobody answered “In what movie will you hear the song, Three Little Birds?” The answer was Shark Tales.

-Kick it off on Tuesday at O’Neals, as the Young, the Old and the Restless were able to win for the 3rd time in 5 weeks, taking a 101-97 win over Dick Cancer is No Laughing Matter. Philly Softcore finished 3rd.

-The Sofa Kingdom cruised on Tuesday night, knocking off 2 Pint Minimum and Don’t Laugh, Splinters Cause Infections, 105-81-81.

-Our first upset came on Wednesday, as the Jams (aka Craig and McGreevey: BiPartisanship in Action) fell to Where’s Baby Hair, 95-93. They were missing Jam Captain and Barb, but it was still a pretty stacked Jams team, so it was a big win for Where’s Baby Hair. River of Rocks finished 3rd at a packed Locust Rendezvous.

-A big comeback for the Satan’s Minions, who aced the impossible round to pull off a 106-102 win over Pee Wee Herman’s Head. Perennial powerhouse Duane’s World were Vegas favorites going into the match, but angered a lot of gamblers with a devastating 10th place finish.

-A low scoring slugfest at the Good Dog, where the vacuum created by MAGMA’s break up has yet to be filled. I Can Has Cheeseburger beat the Good Dog staff team, We Got Glasses…What? (above). The staff team, who usually finishes last, thought that wearing glasses would make tem feel smarter and intimidate the other teams. The ploy worked, as they recorded their first ever 2nd place finish.

-And a blowout at the Bards, as the Hurtin Bombs won for the 4thstraight week. One more win and we’ve got a bounty. They beat The Table, the Flash, and the Fonz, 113-97. The Kingdom finished with 96.

-No bounty tonight at the Vous, b/c the Jams won’t be there. But that might be a good thing.WIth the Jams out of the picture, this is an excellent opportnity for a new team to win at the Vous.

-The Good Dog is still wide open, with no clear cut favorite from week to week.

-Vegas likes Dane’s World to repeat tonight at the Sheep. Can your team stop them?

-Still in discussions for the next city vs. city smackdown, with doing it soemwhere where anyone who wants to can play. I’ll keep ya updated.

Alright, I’m gonna post pics of last weeks winners with a trivia question underneath. The questions will be about bird songs. One guess per person, and no cheating.

Here’s the rundown of the past week’s action:
-Tuesday night at O’Neals, it was Dork Sided taking an early lead and holding on for a 95-86 win over the Cornbread Mafia. Philly Hardcore finished 3rd.

-At the Bards, the Sofa Kingdom‘s arch nemesis, Narkotyzing Dysfunktion, was a no-show, and the Kingdom waltzed away with a 104-82 boiling of the Two Egg Omelette. Freddie Bear finished Numero Tres.

–The Jams split into two teams on Wednesday at the Rendezvous-and those two teams finished First and Second. Hurricane Erin Blew Through Mexico edged Tommy Udo’s Fan Club, 114-113. In 3rd place, it was A Different Kind of Hate. The Jams have won five in a row. I am waiting to hear from Jam Captain to see if he’s playing this week. If so, we’ll have a bounty.

-No upset at the Black Sheep either. Yes, Duane Can’t, a conglomerate of Duane’s World, the Minions, and Yes You Can’t, knocked off My Eggplant Spells Cole Hamels, 104-96. Quizzo legends WTF made an appearance, but showed a lot of rust, finishing with a 75.

–Mac Robinson’s Yellow Sweater got the win at the Good Dog, taking out Manstruation, 89-80. Vladimir Man Love took the bronze.

-On to the Bards, where we had controversy. It Looked Like the Day After the Day After Tomorrow had pulled off a 11-109 win over the Hurtin Bombs. I had asked what MLB team has the record for most losses in a season. The answer I was looking for was ’62 Mets, who lost 120. But the Bombs put the 1898 Cleveland Spiders. The Spiders had lost 134 in 1899, so I had to gove partial credit. That forced overtime, which was won by the Bombs. The Kingdom finished 3rd with a 107.

Also this week:
–The Sequel Contest
-The Sequel Column for the paper
-The emergence of a new force on johnnygoodtimes.com, the Donspiracist.

A player that won twice, some new blood at the Sheep, and the an adios to a regular. Let’s review.

–“Cuz I Got High” by Afroman, Featuring Phil Rizzuto, which was really just Steve O. and D-Mac, blew away the field at O’Neals, missing only two questions on their way to a 113-96 win over Last Quizzo as a Free Man.

-A nailbiter at the Bards, as the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion, as they and the Sofa Kingdom missed 0 questions in Round Three and got the same two questions wrong in round four. So it came down to the Speed Round, and Narks got one more right in Round Two, which would prove decisive in the 100-98 win.

–Mrs. Astor Will Miss Her Hair Appointment (aka the Jams), won yet again at the Vous with a 110. It was their 9th win in the last ten weeks at the Vous. One more win and we’ve got a bounty on our hands. Dead Television Personalities finished 2nd with 99

-A close match at the Black Sheep, as the Detroit Ligers knocked off Eschaton (aka Satan’s Minions), 99-94. The red hot Duane’s MInions, winners of 4 of the last 5 going into Wedensday’s game, finished 3rd with 92.

-It was Steve O. again at at the Good Dog, as his team the Snap, Crackle and Popped Collars beat the Axis of Evil Knieval, 102-93. My parents team, the Hometown Heroes, finished 3rd.

-It was Sayanara Pete (above, on JGT’s right in white t-shirt) Day at the Bards, as the regular for several years played his last quizzo before moving to DC. Sadly, there would be no spectacular send off, as his team, Jason Basedow Stole My Starter Jacket, finished in 4th. The Hurtin Bombs took the win, 101-87, over John the Baptist’s Last Name was Goodtimes.

-Quizzo tonight at Locust Rendezvous and Black Sheep.

–Little Brother tonight at Johnny Brenda’s.

–Americana Quizzo Friday at the Constitution Center.

–Comedy show Saturday at Medusa.

-Need to get milk. (That last reminder was just for me.)

Yeah, I’m a day late and a dollar short. My bad. I was just so upset about Karl Rove stepping down yesterday I had a hard time concentrating on work. But hey, here’s my chance to honor the man. So each question under the photos will be about Rove.

This friday night, I’ll be hosting the final Americana Quizzo at the Constitution Center. Game begins at 6:30 p.m. The rumors you’ve been hearing about me dressing in a colonial costume for this event are patently false.

Saturday night, I’m gonna be doing some comedy at Medusa Lounge (21st Street, between Chestnut and Market). Chip Chantry will be headlining.

-We start on Tuesday, where the Young, the Old and the Restless won for the 2nd straight week. They knocked off Dork Sided, 95-89.

-At the Bards we had our longest winning team name, possibly ever. Matt Carlson Will Take Your Mom Out for a Nice Seafood Dinner and Never Call Her Again (aka the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion) blew open a close match in the final round and knocked off the Sofa Kingdom, 107-91.

-On to the Rendezvous, where we had another close match blown open in the final round. The Jams came from 5 down going into round four to beat We Let the Dogs Out, 111-96. The Jams were one of two teams to ace round four this week. It was their 8th win in the last 9 weeks.

-Our third straight blowout of the week took place at the Black Sheep. Duane’s World was the other team to ace Round Four, and they scored an easy 105-87 victory over the River Of Rocks. It was their 4th win in 5 weeks, as they have become the team to beat at the Sheep.

-Another blowout at the Good Dog, as Snap, Crackle, and Popped Collar dominated in a 97-75 win.

-A heartbreaker at the Bards, as heavily favored Hurtin Bombs would have gone down if Mr. Belvedere’s Moustache Sweats Maple Syrup hadn’t missed the final question, “What sport do the French call la Natation?” The Hurtin Bombs thus held on for a 101-100 win.

-Other highlights of the week included:
–Me getting humiliated at Boggle
–Barry Bonds breaking the Home Run Record
–Goodtimes calls Nixon Underrated.
–The “popped collar” article. Please show this to your friends at Penn!
