French Fry Thursday

This is one of my better quizzes in a while, quite frankly. My girlfriend (above, that’s me with my arm around her) told me so online. A little something for everyone….if you know your pop culture you should play tonight, if you know your music you should play tonight, and if you know your history you should play tonight. The picture round is pretty much awesome. Action starts at Ugly American at 8 p.m. Excellent opportunity to get a win. ANd I’m gonna give away some fries!

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. Not sure how Steak Em Up is going to do with tonight’s quiz. It’s a bit of departure from our normal quiz, so I am hoping they fail miserably. Hope to see you kids tonight!

Let’s Talk About Brent Musburger in My Basement


Timaree and I decided to head into the basement to discuss Brent Musburger’s comments last week about Katherine Webb. And, as if trying to help promote the video, Musburger went out last night and allegedly called a female reporter smokin‘.

Well Timaree thinks his statements about Webb are part of a larger issue, that we’ve come to expect that athletes can get any women they want, while I thought it was a harmless joke. And Malia, once she saw the camera on, decided to hop right into the middle of the fray. I swear, that cat is desperate to become a star.

Big Money Tuesday

We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Things are still pretty wide open. But if you can knock off #4 Jazz Hands, you could make quite a name for yourselves and possibly even earn a Top 10 ranking by next week. $3.50 margaritas and Mexican beers.

On to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. Things were nuts there last week, and I suspect we’ll have another good crowd there this week. $3 Narragansett Pounders. Wild card round is pretty much just stuff I saw on Facebook yesterday. Interesting quiz. See ya tonight!

JGT Power Rankings 1/14

1. Steak Em Up (Bards). I decided to leave a hint out of one of the questions at the Bards. It ended up costing them a perfect score. If it was any other team I’d feel bad about it. But because it was them I felt awesome about it. (And yes, another team got it right w/o the hint so it was still a legit question.)

2. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). Three straight wins at the Sheep, despite a packed house each week.

3. The Jams (Locust Rendezvous). Also on a three game win streak.

4. Bears Are Scared of Jazz Hands (O’Neals). They continue their hot run with another win at O’Neals this last week.

5. Tempura House (North Star). Palestra Jon has put together quite a nice team, with daughter Sarah proving that her Jeopardy run was no fluke .

6. Sidecardigans (Sidecar). Big win at home this past Monday gets them back in the mix.

7. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics (UA). A win last week had them moving up the charts, but a crushing defeat at Black Sheep on Wednesday sends them right back down.

8. Why Can’t Us (UA). Two straight two-point losses at Ugly American. Brutal.

9. Johnny Goodtimes (UA). D-Mac, Sarah Baicker, and  Molly from It’s Not Creepy have joined forces the past couple of weeks at UA, and could have built the nucleus of a juggernaut for 2013. Keep in mind, D-Mac was part of the team that finished 2nd at Quizzo Bowl V.

10. Clown Question Bro (Rendezvous). An astounding seven 2nd-place finishes in the past 3 months without a single victory.

The rest of the Top 20.
