This leader of the Temperance movement used to walk into taverns with an axe and smash liquor bottles and bar windows. She stood 6′, 175 pounds, and said that she was “a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what he doesn’t like.”
Seinfeld Quiz on Sunday
There will be a quiz about nothing this Sunday that should be a lot of fun. Mike Minion will be hosting an all-Seinfeld quiz at the Ugly American this Sunday at 8 p.m. More details coming later this week, but I’d probably expect questions about The Contest, cologne that smells like the beach, and coffee table books about coffee tables.
Andy Reid Supports Steve-O
Anyone who is a registered Republican and lives in Philadelphia, please go to the polls tomorrow to vote for Steve Odabashian and only Steve Odabashian. Those of us who have been lucky enough to know Steve are well aware of the fact that he is not a seasoned politician. If we was, we probably couldn’t stand him. Instead, Steve is a caring, thoughtful, and compassionate human being who is running for this office not for money, glory, or power, but because he loves this city and he wants to help it reach its potential. Not to mention that he has won 3 Quizzo Bowls with an intellect that, quite frankly dwarfs most of his opponents (who combined have won 0 Quizzo Bowls.) Please get out to vote tomorrow, and please vote Steve-O. Furthermore, if any of you are free and want to help Steve out tomorrow, please contact him on facebook.
Quizzo News and Notes
A good week on the quiz circuit, with nice crowds at all of our quizzes. Thanks to everyone who came out this week. We had an upset at the Ugly, a shootout at the Black Sheep, and the Jams just kept on rolling. Next week is ladies week. Now, that doesn’t mean that only ladies can play, but it means that questions will be designed with the ladies in mind. Can I do this without being labeled a sexist? I have no idea. But famous women, fashion, Kool and the Gang songs, and probably a few questions written by my wife will all be play. Should be a fun quiz.
In other news…if you are a Republican, please remember to vote for Steve-O on Tuesday. He’s gotten endorsements from the Inquirer and the Daily News, and he’s hoping to pull the upset.
And speaking of democracy, be sure to vote for your favorite Phillies moustache in the Phillysportshistory.com Face Furniture Contest.

This is Great
The team above at City Tap House had the team name Johnny Depp Ain’t Got S*** on Michael Bolton. Incredibly, in the 4th round of this week’s quiz, there was a question, “In 1983, Laura Branigan had a hit with this song How Am I Supposed to Live W/o You? Who had a hit with that same song in 1989?” The correct answer was Michael Bolton. They got it wrong.
