I asked: aren’t the Flash mobs being blown a little bit out of proportion? It led to me being discredited by pretty much a who’s who of jgt.com commenters, but looking back, I stand by pretty much everything I wrote.

Lambda Lambda Lambda wins their 3rd straight “Quzzo” Bowl.

Search terms that brought people to the site in January, February, and March: Detroit hookers, Detroit whores, where to find prostitutes in Detroit, Detroit prostitution, like a knight in shining armor from a long time ago, Stalin good or bad, fun facts about Millard Fillmore, lesbian oil wrestling, trannie news, streaks on the china never mattered before, like a rhinocerous my speed is prosperous, how to rock a first date. I trust that my site helped people find the information they were looking for in each instance.

Question of the Week

This man caused an internet sensation when he announced he was running for Stark County Treasurer.

Back in Business

Had the night off last night due to that embarrassing Eagles game, so I went to play the Big Quiz Thing (movie edition) at World Cafe Live. Really was a lot of fun (Koob did a write up about the last one.) We had the lead all game, but at the end they make each of the top 3 teams pick a member to go up front and answer questions, and first one to answer 2 correctly wins. I like the game show aspect, and may use something like it at Quizzo Bowl, but not to determine the outcome of the game. I wasn’t crazy about that part of it. But the rest of it was very entertaining.

But needless to say, while New York runs a fine little quiz, we are in the Quizzo Capital of the World. So come out tonight and play the real deal, will ya? At the Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $3 Victory Pints and $2 Bud Lights 16 ouncers. Then we move to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m., where those who played last week got to hear me tell some screaming moron to go back to Jersey. I’m gonna give away a few more prizes tonight in a variety of ways, and the quiz will have a very “Year in Review” feel to it, though not all questions will be Year in Review themed. One quiz this week. My long time husband roommate Trivia Art just moved out, so we have a lot of reorganizing to do around the house. That means that 4 quizzes, and 4 different winners this week. Question of the week coming soon. Hope to see ya tonight!

No Quizzo Tonight

Thanks to the NFL in it’s infinite wisdom moving a Philly game in late December to night time, the Eagles are playing on a Tuesday night for the first time since 1944. Well, that’s all fine and good for the NFL, but crappy for a quizmaster. Quizzo at O’Neals and City Tap House is cancelled for this week. Update: Mike’s quiz at Terrace Taproom is also cancelled tonight due to the game.

Everything on Wednesday and Thursday is on as planned. Your best chance to win? Unquestionably the Ugly American on Thursday. Schedule for this week is below. And yes, I would expect another “Year in Review” type round.

WEDNESDAY

Locust Rendezvous 6:15 p.m.

Black Sheep 8 p.m.

THURSDAY

Ugly American 8 p.m.

Bards 10:15 p.m.

Hope to see ya this week!

Everything’s Coming Up Christmas!

One of my favorite things ever posted on the site. A few years ago, the Donspiracist decided to research that age old question: Is Santa Claus real? His findings may surprise you.
