All New Questions for the Final Night of the Spooktacular

The first two nights contained a perfect score, a bad call by the referee (me, at O’Neals) and a hot streak continue at the Vous. More wild action tonight at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. A great chance to get your team in the mix, and eat yourself some one dollar corn dogs. Also $2 Lagers and $3 Kenzos. Then on to the Bards at 10:15 p.m. Tonight’s questions will be very loosely based on Halloween. Expect more plays on Halloween words than anything. However, I did hear a complaint the other night that there weren’t enough serial killer questions. I will do my best to correct that tonight.

George Washington: More Politics as Usual

After watching the mockery-of-themselves attack ads on TV the last couple weeks, I started thinking: what if there had been TV 220 years ago? This is what attack ads probably would have looked like.

The Halloween Spooktacular Rolls on Tonight!

That’s right folks, gonna be great to see all of your shining faces again this week after a week off at Locust Rendezvous and Black Sheep. And what better way to reacquaint ourselves with each other than through questions about ghouls, ghosts, and horror films? Gonna be a lot of fun, and everyone gets Halloween candy! We kick it off at the Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. Then we move to the Black Sheep at 8 p.m. Play the Spooktacular tonight…if you dare. Brawhahahaha!

Denver Starts Talking Smack Early (NSFW)

Geek Bowl isn’t until January, but that doesn’t mean ~~those idiots~~ our friends in Denver haven’t started talking trash already. Several of our regular teams are called out here. But good news, Philly. As you saw last week when a writer in San Fran dissed our city, I am a badass when it comes to flame wars. I mean, seriously, I was raised on hip-hop and pro wrestling. I can talk some s***. You can expect a heated response by early next week. It will be ruthless, and people will cry.

Question of the Week

What rapper uttered the immortal words: “This year Halloween fell on a weekend”?

Howard at the Bat

In case you missed it over on isportacus, here’s the poem I wrote after Saturday’s devastating loss, based on Casey at the Bat. I think it’s pretty good.

The 8th Annual JGT Halloween Spooktacular!

There is little consolation to take from the Phillies loss. But if there is one, it is this: for the first time in 3 years, we will have an uninterrupted Halloween Spooktacular. And to celebrate, for the first time ever I am going to write two different Halloween quizzes. Scary songs, mass murder, and horror films will dominate the questions. This will not be a quiz for the weak of heart. We start tonight, on Big Money Tuesday. Winning team at O’Neals gets a $50 gift certificate. And considering that there have been 6 different winners in the past 7 weeks, anybody could take this thing. And $50 can buy you a lot of $3.50 margaritas.

On to the City Tap House. Our first quiz last week was a huge success. Great turnout, great venue, and great prizes make this an awesome quiz. Winning team gets a free two hour Happy Hour for 10 friends. Specials include the $10 personal pizza and a beer. That’s hard to beat. You better be there tonight…or else!

JGTAI Scores Thru 5 Weeks

Here ya have it, the scores through week 5. The teams in blue are teams that are in the top 10, and thus eligible for the $100 bonus drawing. Teams in yellow would be guaranteed a spot in the invitational if the invites were sent out today. Teams in the Green are “Bubble Teams”. They would have to wait to see exactly how much space we have available and if any teams in the Top 20 can’t make it. Teams in orange have some serious work to do over the next three weeks. But do not give up. Look at the Tubular Two. At the time of last week’s rankings, they were buried near the bottom of the list. But this week they finished 2nd twice, submitted an avatar, and scored a few physical challenge points. Now they are in the running for the Bonus Bucks, tied for 10th. One good week can get your team in the mix! Is this the week? You get your first chance tonight at the Westbury with Mike Minion. This week’s wild card round is “Disney films”. Action starts at 10:30 p.m. Meanwhile, I kick off the Spooktacular tommorrow night. Details to follow. Three weeks to go! Time to make your move! And I’m gonna give you until tomorow at 10 a.m. to give me photos of you eating a pretzel. (If you can’t post them to facebook, send them to me via johnny@johnnygoodtimes.com.) Also, all avatars submitted from now on will still get you one bonus point.
