The first recorded use of the word zombie in the English language was written in 1819 by the same man who wrote the Goldilocks and the Three Little Bears. WHo was he?
The Oldest Tradition in Philadelphia (American?) Quizzo Continues This Week
It’s time for the 13th Annual Halloween Spooktacular. Yep, we’ve been doing this one since the days of Frank Clement’s Tavern, since the youngsters playing at City Tap House were 8-years old, since Gervase was hosting quizzo, SINCE EVERYONE IN PHILLY KNEW WHO GERVASE WAS!
Anyways, as always, there will be questions about killers, zombies, vampires, and pure unbridled terror, and maybe even a bit of candy to give away. Action starts tonight at Sidecar at 9:30 p.m. Only gonna do one quiz this week. (We’ll be back to two quizzes next week.) Hope to see you at quizzo this week…if you DARE!

Question of the Week
What pirate is best known for two things; the design of his Jolly Roger flag, and for having two female crew members on board his ships?
Quizzo Tonight
We kick it off at O’Neals tonight at 8 p.m. Double your gift cert if you can top 120. On to City Tap House, and you’re not gonna believe who is waiting tables: Erin from the North Star! After they closed I told her to talk to Andy at CTH. The interview went well, they hired her, and she’s gonna work quizzo nights! Very cool. Action starts at 10:15 (Last week I ran a bit behind so we started late but this week I’ll try to get there on time). Hope to see ya tonight!
JGTAI Scores at the Midway Point
As we head into the 2nd half of the season, things are starting to get interesting. Here are our scores. A few teams went all out on last week’s Facebook challenge and chalked up some serious points. I just posted a new challenge on the page if you’re looking to rack up some points this week.
No quiz tonight due to what’s going on at North Star and the Eagles game. I’m only writing one quiz this week and we’ll operating our normal schedule Tuesday-Thursday. Your best shot to get a win? That’s a tough one. We see the most parity at Industry, though Imaginary Pablo blew it out of the water there this past week. The Tap House is a gamble, as when the Jesters don’t show up, it’s anyone’s ballgame.
So get your a-squad together and get out to quizzo this week, as we head down the home stretch, and only the best teams will earn an invite to the Big Event on November 22nd.

Triple Points in JGTAI Tonight at Industry!
If you’d like to all but wrap up an invite to the JGT Autumn Invitational on November 22nd at the City Tap House, you should definitely play tonight at Industry. We have a tremendous amount of parity, so it’s anybody’s ballgame. Tonight, in addition to our regular $40 and $20 prizes, we’ll offer a $20 bonus to any team that can score 115. As for drink specials, we’ve got $3 Ninkasi Belgian IPAs and Victory Prima Pils. Action starts at 6:30 p.m.
On to Bards at 9:15. Our usual mayhem, $3 lagers, the legendary Michael behind the bar.
Thus far this week, we’ve raised over $500 for PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). You guys are just incredible. Let’s try to get that number up to $750 by the end of the week. Such a terrific charity, and so psyched to be involved with them. So anyway, tonight’s quizzo is all animal questions. A tough music round that took down some of our best teams last night.
