First Place: Where’s Jon’s Rum 110
2nd Place: Missing Heads 101
3rd Place: Touch my Volley 83
It Only Goes Downhill From Here
I think I wanna put together like a 20 minute show of our trip and play it at Bards in a few weeks. But I’ll be occasionally posting ridiculous stuff like this that doesn’t really fit anywhere in the narrative. But I think you see where this is going.
Big Money Tuesday!
We kick it off at O’Neals at 8 p.m. It’s been a tug of war between Savage Ear and Where’s Jon’s Rum the past couple of months, with one of those two teams winning in 7 of the last 8 weeks. Can your team top them tonight? Action starts at 8 p.m., with margaritas and Mexican beers costing a mere $3.50. Winner walks with a $50 gift certificate.
On to the City Tap House. Had a great turnout last week. I think the word is starting to get out about the $100 gift certificate for first place. Action starts at City Tap House at 10:15. Just went there last night to try the pizza. Excellent. You can get pizza and a Sly Fox for $10. Pretty great deal. And keep in mind, I do have Quizzo Bowl tickets for sale right now. Hope to see ya tonight!
In other quizzo news: Remember, an all football quizzo coming Friday night at Ugly American to celebrate the Super Bowl. More details coming soon. And Mike Minion hosts his quiz at the Terrace Taproom tonight at 8 p.m.
Question of the Week
Max McGee not only scored the first touchdown in Super Bowl history, he also co-founded what once-popular restaurant chain?
Quizzo News And Notes
FOOTBALL QUIZZO: Hello from the Denver Airport. A couple of quick notes before boarding with our novelty sized check. First of all, we’re gonna celebrate the Super Bowl with a Super Bowl of Football Quizzo this Friday night at the Ugly American. Action starts at 7:30 p.m. More details coming soon.
QUIZZO TONIGHT: Mike Minion returns to action tonight at the Westbury at 9 o’clock. Been a good quiz lately, and the move up in time has helped bring in a few extra teams. And of course the Westbury’s beer specials are epic.
IN COMEDY: The Chip Chantry One Man Show is tonight at the Shubin Theatre. Gonna be some great comedians, including The Feeko Brothers, Mike Rainey, and Jim Grammond. Show starts at 8 p.m. See ya there!
Philly Ray Cyrus Finishes 3rd Out of 125
Details, and more importantly video of Garbo dancing, coming soon.
Meet the Geeks
Quick word of advice: if you have a major trivia event that you fly 2,000 miles to participate in, DO NOT consume numerous Long Island Ice Teas the night before, no matter how reasonably priced they are. Also, it is NEVER a good idea to return to a bar you were in earlier, except the 2nd time wearing mullet wigs. Our brains are mush, and our bodies are weak, and any worries my wife might have had about me flirting with women can be put to rest. Garbo in a mullet wig made sure of that.
Unfortunately, our fearless leader Swanson is fighting a fierce cold. He didn’t even make it out for dinner last night, and he has been in bed for the past 15 hours. We are praying for a Michael Jordan “Flu Game” performance from Swanson. The rest of us are moderately healthy, though as I stated earlier, extremely hung over. We did not take into account that we’re a Mile High. In fact, we didn’t take into account much of anything. We were accountless. I will be updating throughout tonight’s event on twitter.
Off to Denver
I’ll be constantly updating our Denver adventure here on the website, on twitter and onfacebook. Real time stuff during the actual Geek Bowl will be updated between rounds on twitter. And I’ll be taking plenty of video. In fact, I should have some posted by this evening on the website, so be sure to check back. The mullet wigs have been secured, thanks to the good people at Percy Street BBQ (awesome BBQ, by the way) and my buddy Casey at Flying Fish. Now we just need to find some denim shirts and Philly Ray Cyrus will be complete. Meanwhile, there’s been another anti-Philly battle rap, and it’s actually not half bad. That said, we’re done rapping…we’re going to let our trivia answers do the talking from here on out.
PICS AND SCORES: All of the scores, quizze news, and avatars will be posted on Monday. No time today.
Triple French Fry Thursday is On (with an Awesome 80s and 90s Movie Round)
Our last quiz before heading west. At the Ugly American, things have been wide slam open the past few weeks. Three different winners in the past three weeks. Can your team make it four for four? Action starts at 8 p.m. And don’t forget: $2 Lagers. Plus last week, I didn’t have time to give away french fries. So in an effort to make up tonight, I am giving away three baskets of fries! Expect a lot of faceoffs.
On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. where you can take on the team that’s headed to Denver this weekend. $2.50 Lagers and Yuengling giveaways. Tonight’s wild card round is gonna be a lot of fun. All I’ll tell you is that it’s an 80s and 90s movie round. Hope to see ya tonight!
VOTE: What Should I Perform at Geek Bowl?
So there is a quizmaster talent show at Geek Bowl, and each quizmaster gets 3 minutes. Needless to say, no matter what I do, I am going to be booed vociferously. So I have a few options. I can perform an old classic like Flashdance to boos, or I can learn the words to Philadelphia Freedom and really get booed. Or I can just come up with a 3 minute stand up routine ripping Denver and the other cities there. Our team is going with the team name Philly Ray Cyrus, so I could also sing Achy Breaky Heart. Or I could just kick some ass with Ice Ice Baby. Whattya think I should do?
