Quizzo and Name That Tune Tonight!

We’re gonna play a little quizzo, as well as a little Name That Tune at quizzo tonight, starting at the Industry at 6:30. There is typically plenty of nearby parking, there are $3 craft beers, and there is terrific food. A really interesting quiz this week. Duane’s World actually finished 6th last night, if that tells you anything. Anyone could take this quiz. A really funky one.

On to Bards at 9:15. You know how we do.

Oh, and be sure to post your Halloween outfit on the facebook page to earn JGTAI points! You’ve got one more day to do so!

Hope to see you tonight!

Listen to Our Latest Podcast!

thisweek

The new This Week in Worthless Knowledge podcast is up. You can download it here on itunes, or you can listen here on Nat’s blog if you don’t use itunes. We’ve worked out some audio tweaks, and I think the show is really getting funny. We talked about Charles van Doren, and how much I would need to be offered to cheat on Jeopardy (and how doing so would ruin my quizzo career). We also discussed Guy Fawkes, Vlad the Impaler, what animal you’d take into space, and why our wives don’t listen to our podcast.  If you haven’t already, be sure to like us on Facebook as well.

And a quick favor to ask: if you enjoy the podcast, please leave a review on itunes. As an added (shameless) bonus, I will give 3 points in the JGTAI to any player who posts a review on itunes. At the very least, please give it a 5-star rating on there. Thanks, and hope you enjoy it!

Quizzo Tonight

Action starts at 9:30 at Sidecar. We’ve been rocking the past few weeks. Let’s get back to it this week.

As far as North Star, I have not heard anything in the past couple of weeks. I’ll begin looking at some other spots in the neighborhood soon. In the meantime, if any North Star ex-pats are itching to play some quizzo, your best bets to find parking would be City Tap House on Tuesdays at 10:30 or Thursdays at 6:30 at Industry.

Email from PAWS

paws

A few weeks ago, the quizzo community raised $900 for PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). I received an email from them that will give you a better idea of where that money went. And I want to again thank everyone who donated. You guys rule.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support of Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. Your donation of $900.00 on 10/20/2015 to the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in support of the 9th Annual Mutt Strut has made a significant impact on our ability to serve the city’s most vulnerable pets.
Each year, tens of thousands of dogs and cats enter the city’s shelters. Whether they had been wandering the streets or abandoned by their owners, all face an uncertain future. Many are injured, sick, or neglected, and have never known the comfort and safety of a loving home. PAWS is dedicated to saving them through rescue and adoption, and preventing them from entering shelters in the first place by providing affordable veterinary care to the neediest pet owners.
As the city’s largest no-kill shelter, PAWS saves more than 2,700 animals per year who would otherwise be killed. We rescue them from the city’s animal control shelter, house them in our facilities and provide needed medical care, spay/neuter, and TLC, and place them into loving foster or adoptive homes. Every time we send an animal home, we fill that vacancy with another pet who is desperately waiting for a way out of the shelter.
PAWS also works daily to prevent pet homelessness through our low-cost Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinics. Serving nearly 24,000 animals each year, the clinics prevent the birth of countless unwanted litters and provide the veterinary care necessary for pets to remain as cherished family members. Each day, pet owners tell us our services have saved them from making the heartrending decision to give up their beloved dog or cat.
All of PAWS’ efforts are privately funded. Thousands of pets who had no place else to go are now enjoying the protection and love of a family, thanks to the support of generous donors like you.
You are an important part of PAWS’ lifesaving community. Together, we will make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.
With gratitude on behalf of the animals,
PAWS

This Week In Worthless Knowledge

thisweek

Odds are, you love worthless knowledge. Otherwise, I highly doubt you would be spending any time on a quizzo website. Well good news, now you can get some of that worthless knowledge outside of the bar.

My buddy Nat “The Truth” Jones and I used to host a radio show together on the Eastern Shore of Virginia 15 years ago. Well, thanks to the wonders of mondern technology, we can do so again, despite the fact that he lives in Boston and I’m here in Philly. So we’ve decided to make this show about worthless knowledge, and more specifically, worthless knowledge that happened this week. You can grab the podcast off of itunes here. If you don’t have itunes, you can still listen online here.

On this week’s show (our 2nd), we discussed Sir Walter Raleigh’s head, which his wife carried around in a velvet bag for 29 years after he was decapitated on October 29th, 1618. The Sistine Chapel ceiling painting was completed on November 1st, 1512, so we discussed which would rather see: Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel or MIchaelangelo, the 6-foot tall crime fighting turtle. It’s a pretty entertaining podcast, so I hope you’ll subscribe. We’re gonna do a new one each week. And be sure to follow us on Facebook, where we’ll be posting more strange, unusual, and worthless knowledge all through the week.
