My sister just had a healthy baby girl this morning, so I am heading home to be with the family this weekend. Therefore, the Sandman is going to host for me tonight. First at the Ugly American, there is a Bounty Bowl. Anyone who finishes first and defeats L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics gets an extra $25 in addition to their $30. Then, on to the Bards. $2.50 Lagers and Miller Lites during the Bards quiz. Hope you can make it out tonight!
Oh the Humanity!
It was 73 years ago today that the Hindenburg went up in flames in New Jersey.
Greatest President Name Ever
Goodluck Jonathon was just sworn in as president of Nigeria. How awesome is that?
What’s Up at the Bards?
The Bards used to be the busiest spot on the JGT quizzo circuit, and tables there were hard to come by. These days, it is still a decent crowd of 30 or so, but I kind of miss the days of 50-60 people. Not sure what happened that caused it to quiet down. It’s still a great staff, the beer specials are awesome, the prizes are great, and it’s a damn good bar. I mean, every bar on the quizzo circuit has its ups and downs (The ‘Vous was dead for a while and now it’s packed every week), but I’m kind of missing the way the Bards used to rock. Any theories as to why it’s been a little quieter the past few months or what we can do to get it rollin’ again? I am all ears, as I really want to get it cranking again.
Quizzo Tonight!
Cinco de Mayo action kicks off at Locust Rendezvous at 6:15 p.m. $3 Dos Equis and $2 Lagers. Should be a good time. On to the Black Sheep, which has been bumping lately. Action starts at 8 p.m. there. And yes, the last place prizes continue to rule.
Oh, and just a little heads up. I will be out of town tomorrow night (my sister is having her 2nd baby), but the Sandman will be filling in. Keep in mind that there is a $25 bounty at the Ugly American.
Sports Shorts
A hearty debate in the iSportacus comment section over whether or not the taser should have been used on that kid Monday night. I say yes, Palestra Jon, BMT, Parsnip, et al. disagree. We’re still not sure exactly where Bob T. stands. He sort of plays the fence on this one.
I’ve started doing some writing for Comcast. Here’s my column for today: Best 5 Mexican American athletes of all time. I also heartily recommend the NFL Draft All-Name team, featuring Selvish Capers and Roddrick Muckelroy.
I’ve also begun doing quizzes for them. Here’s one: NFL First Rounder or Not Drafted at all.
$135 on the Line at Quizzo Tonight
It’s Big Money Tuesday, the richest night of the week in quizzo circles. At O’Neals, the prize package is up to $50 and $25, and at Bards it is still a hefty $40 and $20. Got what it takes to take down the top teams at either bar (Savage Ear at O’Neals and Steak Em Up at Bards)? Test your mettle tonight. O’Neals starts at 8 p.m., and Bards at 10:15 p.m. Cheap margaritas at O’Neals and $2.50 Miller Lites and Lagers at Bards. Hope to see you tonight!
JGT Power Rankings
How to rank them this week, with a Superteam running amok at Bards last week? The JGTPR computer came back with some interesting results.
- L. Ron Hubbard’s Diabetics. Knock off a packed house at Ugly American last week. Their 6th straight win raises the Bounty to $25 this Thursday. Last week: #2
- Steak Em Up. They barely win on Thursday to hold onto their top spot, but their refusal to participate in a postgame chug-off drops them from the top spot. Last week #1.
- The Savage Ear. Continue to be the class of O’Neals. But with a higher purse bound to attract larger crowds, can they hold onto their power? Last week: #5
- The Jams. Miss a perfect score by one question in the first round by not listening to Darth Ern and finish with a 118. But can they pull away from a tough pack at our most challenging bar? Last week: #7
- Duane’s World: A nice win at the Westbury over Group W, but two losses by less than one question at Black Sheep and Ugly American. Last week: #4
- Catdog: Rocket up the charts with a big win at Black Sheep. Last week: #10
- Lambda: Take a week off and, due to some impressive performances elsewhere, plummet in the standings. Last week: #3
- Narcotyzing Dysfunktion: If 2nd Place was the new black, the Dysfunktion would be the sexiest team in quizzo. Last week: #6
- Inglorious Barristers. Four 2nd place finishes and three 3rd Place finishes in the last ten weeks without ever pulling off a single win. Gotta award consistency. Last week: NR
- Look Up Look Down Now I’m a Horse. Take Steak Em Up to the brink on Thursday night, then challenged the Steak to a Chug off for all the marbles. (Steak Em Up declined.) Moxie is always rewarded in the power rankings. Last week: NR
Others receiving votes: Where’s John’s Rum; Dalembert Report; 1022; Phillie RNs; Magnus ver Magnusson; Plastic Paddies
Question of the Week
Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a Mexican victory in what battle?
What Brought You Here?
It’s always a hoot to see how people landed on my page. The things that they type in and somehow end up on my site is ridiculous. The top search is usually the Houston 500, a gangbang that took place like 8 years ago and I wrote like one sentence about in 2004. Here are some more of my favorite search terms that brought people to the site in the past month:
