$155 on the Line on Big Money Tuesday!

BOUNTYYes, folks, there is a $20 Bounty on for tonight at the Bards tonight. That means that the winning team gets a $40 gift certificate plus $20 cash if they can knock off Steak Em Up. Action there starts at 10:15 p.m. Of course, it’s not the only big money on the line tonight. The prize money took a significant jump recently at O’Neals, with the winning team walking with $50, and 2nd place walking with $25. Action starts there are 8 p.m. Hope to see you tonight! (Oh, and there are also rumors of a Mystery Round).

Quizzo News and Notes

jgtlogoA couple of quick notes as we head into the weekend. First of all, there WILL be a quiz at the Westbury on Monday night. Mike Minion will be hosting and the questions will be about American history. Action starts at 10:30 p.m. Here’s a quick blurb from Mike.
Monday at the Westbury will be American History Day.  In honor of the people who have served our country, we’re going focus on the services and what they fight for. Also, the theme round will be devoted to the birthplace of liberty, our own fair city.  So, come out on Monday and prove you’re a real American by battling for trivia glory and freedom.  As usual, we’ll start the contest at 10:30 PM.  I hope some new teams and history buffs will show up to give the regulars a run for their money.  Have a great weekend!

As for other news, first of all keep in mind that next week there will be Bounty Bowls at the Bards both nights! That’s right, Steak Em Up has now won 5 in a row on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Tuesday will be a $20 Bounty and Thursday a $15 bounty. Action both nights starts at 10:15 p.m. There will be a quiz at the Rendezvous on Wednesday, but there will not be a quiz at the Black Sheep due to the Flyers. There was some controversy at the UA Thursday night (basically, I blew it on a question and it killed the Diabetics) but I’ll talk more about that in the power rankings on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday, and I’ll holler at you again on Tuesday with the Power Rankings.

French Fry Thursday…And Corndogs…And Craziness?

frenchfry1-1

Yes folks, French Fry THursday is back in full effect, with a special twist at the Ugly American. In addition to the free fries we give away each Thursday, Ugly American has a pretty badass special they’ve started rolling out: $1 corndogs during Phillies games. And since the Phillies will be playing tonight…you do the math. This may be the most badass deal in town. Action starts at UA at 8 p.m. On to the Bards, where things got a little bit AWESOME after the regular game on Tuesday. We are not allowed to say what happened for legal reasons but it included Steak Em Up losing money and Team Friendship screaming about “Pride” and “All or Nothing”. We’ll just leave it at that. Action starts at 10:15 p.m. and if Look Up Look Down plays, we have a feeling things are going to turn crazy at the end. But that’s just between you and me. See ya tonight! (Oh, and nobody has answered the question of the day yet on facebook.)

Bad TV Show Description Round


We had a lot of fun with this wild card round this past week. Special shout out to Denver Dicker for giving me this idea (and a few of the questions). I give you the year a show debuted and description not of the show but of the show’s title. For example if I said “1978-An explosive expose of the private life of Philly’s favorite quizmaster” you would answer “Good Times” (since that’s the show that came out in 1978.) Got it? Good. Here ya go. Answers after the jump.

  1. 1978-Two rival artist debate proper painting techniques.
  2. 1957- Anthropomorphized forest animals party all day and night, letting a lone freshwater mammal do all their work.
  3. 1982- A loving couple tries to balance parenthodd with their succesful neckwear business.
  4. 1985- A hospital show about patients with rapidly expanding malignant tumors.
  5. 1988- (Hint: it debuted on the BBC) A mockumentary following a midget during his work at a Soviet Gulag.
  6. 1998- This show follows the unlikely pairing of Oklahoma’s favorite son and the Princess of Monaco.
  7. 1984- A man starts up a neighborhood basketball league that plays all of its games after the sun goes down.
  8. 2005- A community tries to deal with the death of a local wide receiver who made the winning TD in the homecoming game but was killed by a vicious tackle at the goal line.
