Battle of the JGTs

jgtdragon
Ok, so here’s one I’ve been waiting to get around to for over a week. Halloween turned out to be somewhat surreal for me, as 3 of my best friends decided to go as Johnny Goodtimes. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Holy s***, Johnny, 3 people went as you for Halloween? You must be bigtime.” Now, if these were 3 strangers, I would say “Yes, I am f***ing bigtime.” However these were all close personal friends of mine, and I know how they operate. i.e. “Oh crap, it’s Halloween night at 6 p.m. and I don’t have a costume. Maybe I could just wear some ridiculous clothes and a sportcoat and go as JGT.” Which is essentially how it all went down. Let’s see which JGT was best.

artJGT #1. Trivia Art. Debonair, but where’s the hair? A wig would have given Trivia Art the win. Still, the martini glass and the scorecard are nice touches. We like it. Score: 7 (on a 1-100 scale).

JGT #2. Nate D. (right). called me the night of Steve-O’s party and asked if he could borrow an outfit, as well as the mic. I did him one better and scored him a wig. A very authentic outfit, but required little work on Nate’s part. Still, Nate scored big with his bump and grind routine with Steve-O before leaving the party. Score: 7.

JGT #3. Chip Chantry (left). I knew Nate was going to the party as me. Not so for Chip. Thus when I arrived at the party and there were two JGT’s (Art was elsewhere), I remarked, “This just went from surreal to Lynch.” Were Chip actually capable of growing a beard, and he had grown one, this would have been quite the ensemble. As it was, he painted a beard on, which really came across as little more than creepy. Still, we gotta give Chip credit, he put together the entire ensemble himself. Score: 7.

We have a three way tie. I only see one way to break this. A vote!

Ripping off Geno’s Steaks

gena'sI was driving back from Punkin Chunkin in Delaware yesterday when I happened upon this sign in Delaware. My first thought, which is the one they intended, was to think that Geno’s was expanding into Dover. With a NASCAR raceway within viewing distance, it made perfect sense to for “Great American” Joey Vento to bring his brand of xenophobia wit’. But if you look closely, you’ll see that it’s Gena’s, not Geno’s. There were also flames painted on the side of the building to further confuse the issue. But I’m not sure what the deal is, because the place was closed and I see no mention of it on the internet other than a phone number.

Sorry gang

I’ve been a total slacker. Between the Phils and the holiday, I’ve been slippin’ a bit lately. I’ll be back in gear tomorrow. Yeah, the photos aren’t  up yet. I left my friggin camera at Steve-O’s house friday night, so I’ll have pics up as soon as I get it from him. Of course the schedule this week depends on what the Phils do. In the meantime, I have been doing a fair amount of posting on isportacus. A few things worth checking out.

Thinking about giving up on the Phillies? Read this post.

Once there was a silly old ant…

The greatest inspirational video of all time.

Should the Phils dress in their best and prepare to go down like gentlemen? (written last night, while I was still bitter about Game 4.)
