The week began with Rocky Horror at the Troc on Monday. We had a great crowd for the Wheel of Terrific, and they were treated to games such as “Jenga of the Undead” and “The Reverend Ted Experience”, in which a contestant had to speak out about the abomination of gay marriage, then get a massage from a gay prostitute. Of course, they were also treated to sexy bartender Marianne (above) and a Rocky Horror troupe performing the movie onstage.

Remember when I had you nominate some films a few months ago for Movie Mondays? Well, we’ve already shown a few of them (Office Space, Big Lebowski, Rocky Horror), but we also thought it would be fun for you to vote for one that you want to see. So if you go to the right side of the page, we’ve nominated five films that you can vote for. Whichever film gets the most votes by next Tuesday will be shown on November 27.

Hey gang, we’re showing the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show Tonight at the Trocadero. There will be a Rocky Horror troupe performing and selling bags of props for the film.

And yes, we will be doing the Wheel of Terrific at 7:30 p.m. This is gonna be fun. Hope to see you there.

It all started on Monday (as so many weeks do) with a showing of Teen Witch at the Trocadero. Now, in case you are wondering who listens to the Preston and Steve Show, it is apparently women who just love Teen Witch. I suspect that they wouldn’t do very well at quizzo. No offense, of course. But anyway, I told you there were gonna be a ton of women at this thing, and I was right. The Wheel of Terrific was pretty terrific, though Preston and Steve didn’t seem real interested and just announced that we were doing “some quizzo thing” upstairs. I hate to say it, but it’s true: Chip and I are a hell of a lot funnier than Preston and Steve. But they are obviously a lot more popular among the Teen Witch crowd. The highlight of the Wheel was when an unsuspecting contestant ate an apple filled with razor blades, though things did get a little bloody.

The 4th Annual Halloween Spooktacular began on Tuesday, as the Embarrasmintz returned to the winners circle at O’Neals with a 103-82 win over Johnny’s Wig is Atrocious. A team consisting of two women was called I Hope I don’t See Johnny in the Mirror tonight. (Congrats to O’Neals, btw, who not only won for best sports bar, but who also celebrated their 27th anniversary on Thursday). At the Bards, it was the Table of the Damned who earned a 95-86 win over the Dysfunktion, helped along by four points they earned by dressing up. Wednesday saw a blowout, and a huge upset.

First of all, I want it stated on the record that Teen Witch was entirely Preston and Steve’s idea (The guys from WMMR). I had nothing to do with the selection of this film, so you can stop calling me a pansy right now. However, after talking to numerous members of the opposite sex, apparently this is a fun and goofy movie, and women seem to really like it. Translation: Guys, I think there are going to be women there tonight, and if you pretend like you like this dumbass film, these chicks will dig you. Big time. So be there.

Chip Chantry and I return with the Wheel of Terrific, Halloween Edition, tonight at 7:30 p.m. There is a decent chance someone will be kidnapped. Hope to see you there.

History was made at JGT quizzo this week, as something remarkable happened on Thursday night. But the week started with a blowout on Tuesday. Palestra Jon and Skippy joined forces and the Three Amigos won in one of the biggest blowouts in quizzo history, 102-69, over the defending champs The Embarrasments. Scores were low at the Bards, as teams struggled with the “Mysteries of the Unknown” Round. The Sofa Kingdom changed their weekly double answer and got it right, winning 90-82 over Kenny Rogers Has Poo on His Hand. Scores would rise, drastically, on Wednesday, as one team flirted with a perfect game.

I’m not sure if the week can start on Saturday, but if so, then the week started with my confrontation with my ex at the Rock Paper Scissors Championship. But the Midnight Rider took care of her for me. We then move to Monday, when controversy reigned supreme at O’Neals. The team that always changes its name seemed to have the match under control, but faltered on the question, “What derisive nickname did Alaska acquire when the Secretary of State pushed for its purchase in 1867?” The correct answer was Seward’s Folly. They wrote Suder’s Folly. It was close to phonetically correct, but…For the first time ever, I put it to a vote. The vast majority of the crowd thoought that I shouldn’t accept it. It cost the name changers the game, as they fell to the Embarrasments, 94-93. It was at that time that the Break up the Champs portion of the week began, with interesting results.

I saw the Departed the other night, and though I don’t usually review movies, I thought this was one where I’d throw my thoughts out there and see what you think. The first two hours are startlingly brilliant. Nicholson is amazing, but Damon and DiCaprio are really too. After two hours, I was thinking, “Man, I want this thing to go another two.” No I didn’t. The last half hour was a gratuitous bloodfest that gave me no satisfaction, and almost wasted the first two hours of brilliance. It’s like if, at the end of Goodfellas, Scorcese had said, “Let’s start blowing s*** up, just for fun.” The girl in the film is completely pointless. Her characted had potential, but in the end it was obvious that she was in the film because there had to be a love interest. I would highly recommend this film to appreciate the acting and the twists and turns of the first two hours, but I would warn you to be ready to cover your eyes repeatedly in the last half hour, as there’s more brains flying and than in a bad “B” horror flick. Anybody else see it?

-Good news. They’re keeping the turkey testicle festival!

-Be careful women. Try not to get your breasts caught in escalators. As a special bonus, click here to see how these deadly machines work.

-Happy birthday, Ann Putnam, Jr. She was one of the girls whose testimony had numerous people killed in the Salem Witch Trials. Even more incredibly, she’s the only woman I’ve ever heard of named Junior.

-I do appreciate, long after the contest ended, the volume of haikus in the comments section. I think we’ve got something magical going on here.

There’s some other jawn going on at the Troc today. We’ll be back on the 30th, with Teen Witch, which I had never heard of before but which apparently girls think is funny.
