All New Food and Drink Quiz Tonight

An interesting quiz so far this week. The “Cheese Round” had a lot of fans and just as many haters.  We’ll see how folks do tonight with an all-new quiz. And remember, this is the last quiz before JGTAI invites go out. If you want to participate in the quizzo event of the season, I highly suggest you play tonight. Your best bet for a win? The Ugly American, where the action will begin at 8 p.m. $2 Lagers and $3 Kenzingers. We move to the Bards, who also have $3 fries. Kickoff is 10:15 p.m. Hope to see ya tonight!

JGT Power Rankings

Here are the power rankings heading into this week’s action (before Tuesday night’s quiz).

1. Steak Em Up (Bards) After a few weeks floundering, they win 3 in one week. As much as it pains me to admit, impressive. Last week: #7

2. Madame Butterface (Locust Rendezvous) Any team that goes back to back at our toughest bar gets a major bump in the rankings. Two in a row for Butterface. Last week: #4

3. Duane’s World (Black Sheep). An impressive 19 point win at the Sheep keeps them holding steady at #3. Last week: #3

4. Philliez Nutz (Bards). It’s worth noting that none of Steak’s wins last week were against their achilles heel, the Nutz. Steak played at UA, while the Nutz won their 3rd in 4 weeks at the Bards. Last week: NR

5. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics (Ugly American). A 108 will normally get you a win at UA, but now when the Steak shows up for a quiz in their wheelhouse. Last week: #3

6. Savage Ear (O’Neals). A triumphant return to the bar they ran for years. My angry emails to the Toddfather finally were answered. Last week: NR

7. Do It Live (CTH). A win two weeks ago and 2nd place last week. This team looks to be for real. Last week: #8

8. The Jams (Vous). An impressive performance last week, finishing 2nd with 3 players. I expect this team to start one of their vaunted hot streaks very soon.Last week: #9

9. Fracksylvania (Black Sheep). A week after a win at North Star, they go into Black Sheep and come away with a 2nd place finish. This team is on fire! Last week: #13

10. Queen of Hearts (Bards). A win two weeks ago and a loss by one question this past week. Don’t look now, but the Bards is starting to re-establish itself as a serious quizzo spot. Last week: #13

11. Mysterious Mr. Mapother (O’Neals). A 2nd place and a 3rd place finish in one week. Their not setting any records, but that’s nothing to be ashamed of either. Last week: NR

12. Magnus ver Magnusson. (Rendezvous) Keep waiting for them to snap out of this slump. After 3 straight wins in August, only one win in past 10 quizzes. Last week: NR

Food and Drink Week Returns

One of our most popular weeks returns, as we’re going to gorge ourselves on food and drink knowledge. From Julia Childs to julienning, from Kool-Aid to Cristal, we’re gonna cover all the bases this week at quizzo. We’ll quiz on the food network, cooking techniques, and as one notable game show calls it, “potent potables”. Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. and moves to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m. See ya tonight!

JGTAI Scoreboard Is Up! Finally!

Yes, I have been a complete and total slacker for the past few weeks. But here it is, the updated scoreboard with one regular season week and a wild card week separating us from the Autumn Invitational on November 20th. Now, some teams have had a few name changes, so if I have counted you as two different teams just let me know and I’ll fix it. Next chance to earn points? Tonight at North Star bar. No clear cut favorites there. A great way to get your team in the mix. Film and television quiz. Action starts at 7 p.m.

He’s Going to Shock the World


We had a ton of fun at the wrestling quiz last night, where one of the questions was about the worst entrance in the history of professional wrestling. It was of course the Shockmaster’s entrance, where he fell face first, and his glittery storm trooper rolled off. Here is the video of the entrance, followed by Dusty Rhodes discussing it. Part of what’s great about it is Davey Boy Smith in the background, saying “He fell flat on his ass. He fell flat on his f—ing ass.” An amazing moment in wrestling history.

Wrestling Quizzo This Sunday!

Alright, rasslin’ fans, this one is gonna be real to you, damnit! My buddy Bryce is a ref for Chikara Wrestling and we’ve been talking forever about doing a wrestling quiz. Well, now’s the time. In anticipation of their huge High Noon Event on November 13th at the Asylum Arena at 7 West Ritner, we’re going to do a pro wrestling quiz this Sunday. Questions will cover all aspects of pro wrestling, from finishing moves to entrance music to great matches. All pro wrestling will be covered, but there will be an emphasis on the 1980s and 90s, primarily WWF and WCW. But don’t worry, underground fans, we’ll work the AWA and ECW into the mix as well.

Action goes down at the POPE this Sunday at 7 p.m. In addition to prizes for our winners, we’ll also have prizes for best Wrestling outfit and best wrestler impersonation. This is gonna be a ton of fun, or my name ain’t Johnny “The Mouth of the South” Goodtimes.
