Quizzo Tonight

IMG_1762 I don’t have a quirky name for Wednesdays yet (unlike French Fry Thursday or Big Money Tuesday. I’m such a marketing genius.), but nonetheless it has been a good night lately. The Vous has been rocking, and the Black Sheep has been somewhat hit or miss. I think with the Flyers on, tonight is probably a good night to get a table at the Black Sheep. And don’t worry, the Flyers game will be on TV at the Sheep. Action at the Vous starts at 6:15 p.m., and at the Sheep at 8 p.m. Interesting quiz this week. First and third rounds are fairly easy, and 2nd and 4th rounds are rather hard.

In other news, there are rumors of a guerilla comedy show this weekend. While I wouldn’t believe a word of these rumors, you might want to follow Philaguerilla on facebook just in case.

Also, I recently did a couple of new sports quizzes. Check em out here.

The Power Rankings

powerrangersAn extremely topsy turvy week with only one top team emerging unscathed. 

  1. Steak Em Up. With two wins and a Diabetic loss, they regain the top spot. Last week: #2
  2. Duane’s World. A win at Black Sheep puts them in the #2 spot, though a 3rd place finish at Westbury indicates that they aren’t a serious threat for #1 at this point. Last week: #5 
  3. L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. Would have fallen softly into the #2 spot, but a crushing 15 point loss drops them a few decimal points behind Duane’s World. Last week: #1
  4. Magnus ver Magnusson. Knock off the toughest competition on the circuit to get back on the board. Last week: NR
  5. The Champs. Decimate the Diabetics at the Ugly American. Can they repeat, or were they only in it for the money? Last week: NR
  6. The Jams. A number two finish at the Vous knocks them back a few paces. Last week: #4
  7. The Savage Ear. Ouch! What a difference a week makes. One minute they’re #3 on the circuit, the next minute they can’t finish in the top 3 at O’Neals. Last week: #3
  8. The Four Cs. An impressive win at the Westbury over two high quality teams puts the Four Cs in the power rankings for the first time. Last week: NR
  9. Narcotyzing Dysfunktion. If you like the movie Groundhogs Day, come to the Bards on a Tuesday and watch a team live it. ND, 2nd place again. Last week: #8
  10. Look Up Look Down Now I’m a Horse. Another 2nd place, finish, the horses are starting to make a name for themselves on Thursday nights at the Bards. Last week: #10

Others receiving votes: Lambda, Catdog, Same Name as Last Week, Team Friendship, Unusual Suspects, the 4th Estate, The Sandy Faux-Ginas, Inglorious Barristers

Quizzo Tonight at Westbury

mike
Mike Minion returns to action tonight at the Westbury. Here’s his blurb on last week’s match. I think I might try to make it tonight if anybody wants to play.

Last week we had a very tight race at the Westbury. The top three teams were separated by less than one question. When the dust settled, a new team came our on top. First-time winners The 4 C’s defeated Group W by one measly point. During the quiz, I asked a one-point bonus question: What song, written by Jim Steinman, kept Making Love Out of Nothing at All (also written by Jim Steinman) from reaching number one on the Billboard chart? (it was an 80’s music round, after all; you can find the answer at the end) The 4 C’s came up with the answer, got the bonus point and edged out Group W for the win.

Tonight festivities kick off at 10:30 at the The Westbury. Last week’s low scorers chose “Cars” for this week’s theme round, so I expect to see all you gear heads, NASCAR fans, and Ric Ocasik at the Westbury tonight. This is a good chance for a new team to come in and knock off one of the regulars. Monday’s keg special will be Dock Street Bubbly Wit for $2.50. The featured brewery is Fuller’s of London and bottles of all Fuller beers are specially priced.

Answer: Total Eclipse of the Heart

Uncle Johnny’s Taking the Day Off

My sister had a healthy baby girl yesterday morning, and the baby and both parents are doing great. To celebrate, Colby and I are headed to the beach with a cooler full of cold ones. Hope you’re all having fun at the office today, suckers!

Pics and scores should be going up tomorrow (when it’s supposed to rain.)
