New Sex! New Drugs! New Rock n Roll! New French Fries!

frenchfry1-1 All new sex, drugs, and rock n roll questions tonight at quizzo. We start at Ugly American at 8 p.m., where all Lagers are a ridiculously cheap $2 and where L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics have a 3 game winning streak going. I suspect they know a bit about drugs and rock n roll, but their sexual knowledge is probably lacking, so this is probably a good week to catch them off guard.

On to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. $3 Lagers and a chance to knock off the best local sports team other than the Phillies, Steak Em Up. And of course, chances to win fries at both places and a chance to win at Face Off. Hope to see ya tonight!

UPDATE: A music round the most scandalous picture round in JGT history in tonight’s quiz!

More Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll Tonight!

A weird night last night in the snow. The quiz may have been a little too hard at O’Neals (winning score was an 86) so I lightened it up a little at City Tap House. But thanks to the snow, most of the teams there were young Penn students, and if there is any one group who doesn’t think that the world existed before the day they were born struggles with questions about things that happened before the late 1980s, it’s young Penn students. So our scores were a little higher, but not a lot. So I’m gonna retool a little bit and find a happy medium for tonight.

We start at the Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $3 St. Pauli Girl Bottles and $2 Coors Original pints. That’s tough to beat. On to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m., where we had a raucous crowd last week and a big win for Catdog. And who knows, I may even give away a beer or two in Face Off. Alright, well I’m off to play in the snow. See ya tonight!

Sex, Drugs and Rock’n’Roll Quiz All Week

SEXDRUGSROCKAs loathe as I am to give any praise to Mike Minion, I have to give credit where credit is due. His Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll Quiz last night was so much fun I’ve decided to steal his idea. It’s like when Edison stole all that stuff from Nikola Tesla, so Tesla responded by stealing the song “Signs” from Five Man Electrical Band. It’s a vicious cycle.

Where was I? Oh yes, all of this week’s questions will be about Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Ok, and maybe a question or two on snow. We’re gonna have a lot of fun, and yes we are quizzing tonight, no matter how much it snows. We start at O’Neals at 8 p.m. Lots of parity, lots of snow, and $3.50 margaritas should make for a fun night, especially if you win the $50 gift certificate.

We move to City Tap House at 10:15 p.m., where the biggest prize in the city is situated. $100 GC for first place, and $50 GC for 2nd. Should be a full on blizzard by that point, and a great place to watch it out their enormous windows. Oh, and their $10 pizza and a beer deal is tough to beat, as are $3 Sly Foxes.

Mike Minion will be bringing his questions to Manyunk tonight at 8 PM: Debauchery Week continues starting at 8:00 PM at the corner of Terrace and Salignac in Manayunk.  Last night’s scores were pretty high, proving the quizzo crowd knows their vices.  I’m expecting more of the same, plus the Challenge Round is already starting with 40 “points” in the bank.  This is a fun topic, so come out and prove you’re a degenerate of the first rank by winning the quiz tonight.  Hope to see ya there!

Quizzo Bowl Venue and Headliner Announced!

Quizzo Bowl VII Promo from Johnny Goodtimes on Vimeo.

Here’s the info, folks. I’m gonna let Fastball Bob give you the scoop. All of the details and fine print below.

WHERE: World Cafe Live

WHEN: February 19th

WHAT: Quizzo Bowl VII, the preeminent quizzo event in the country.

WHO: You, me, Fastball Bob, Chip, the Lovely Cookie, Chip, and my mom. And since I am making this a “Greatest Hits” Quizzo Bowl, Haulin’ Oats will be performing between rounds. And this year, they’re not just doing Hall and Oates songs. They’re going to be performing all of your favorite jams from the 1980s!

WHY: I thought last year’s Quizzo Bowl was quite good, but not the best. So this year I am pulling out all the stops to make this the greatest Quizzo Bowl ever. More prizes, more entertainers, more exciting questions. In addition to Haulin Oats, I am bringing back the best halftime act we’ve ever had at Quizzo Bowl. I am also bringing in a special guest singer for a cameo. And there will be both live music questions and (hopefully) video questions this year. Like I said, I am pulling out all the stops to make this the greatest Quizzo Bowl event in world history.

SPONSORSHIP: I am still looking for sponsors for this event. If you are interested in sponsoring an event that involves around 300 beer drinkers primarily between ages of 25-45, please drop me a line.

ONE FINAL NOTE: Chip and Johnny will not be rapping or dancing at this event, so don’t get your hopes up.

At the Westbury, Sell Your Soul for Rock ‘n’ Roll…

Sex-drugs-and-rock-n-roll-…and Sex and Drugs, of course.  To be more accurate, test your knowledge of these perennial favorites, and sell your soul for a $40 first prize.  That’s right, now that Christmas is safely behind us, it’s time to be naughty.  Tonight’s ENTIRE quiz is devoted to those things that can earn you a lump of coal: Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll.

The action gets underway at 10 PM.  Yes, I know the BCS championship is on tonight, and on the off chance you enjoy  two teams playing for a subjective “National Championship”, worry not, the game will be on at the Westbury.  As always, the beer specials will be some of the best in the city, JohnniE will be behind the bar, and there will be a special “Bonus” round. See ya tonight, rock ‘n’ rollers. -Mike Minion

Quizzo News and Notes

Picture 1Several things to look forward to in the next few weeks. First of all, big Quizzo Bowl announcements coming next week. Venue and band will both be revealed. Also, I am still looking for sponsors. If anyone is interested in donating either prizes or having their name on the marquee, so to speak, shoot me a line. This is gonna be a great event with about 300 people in attendance, and website activity always shoots up around Quizzo Bowl time. All I ask is that you don’t spell the event “Quzzo Bowl” on the banners.

Also, in case you were unaware, me and a crew of geeks are heading back out to Denver at the end of the month. The Denverites ripped Philly a few months ago. Well, I’ve been working on a battle rap since. It’s finally written, and hope to get the video done and up by early next week. I’m not sure Denver and the surrounding suburbs will ever recover from the verbal assault I am about to launch.

As for regular quizzo next week, Mike Minion’s got a pretty interesting quiz going down at the Westbury on Monday. The entire quizzes topic is Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, and in addition to the questions Mike will have some rock music to give away at the quiz. (After checking with our lawyers, we discovered that he is not allowed to give away either sex or drugs at the quiz, however.) As for my quiz, another week of the unusual insanity, plus more Face Off, where some players win within seconds, and others get booed after blowing easy questions, such as the players  involved in this exchange at the Rendezvous…Q: How does Humpty Hump like his oatmeal? Player 1: Runny Me: No Player 2: Extra Thick? Me: No, lumpy. Humpty likes it Lumpy. Crowd: Booooo!

Anyhow, I hope everyone has a great weekend and we’ll see ya next week!
