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.)
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!
It was 73 years ago today that the Hindenburg went up in flames in New Jersey.
Goodluck Jonathon was just sworn in as president of Nigeria. How awesome is that?
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.
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.
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.
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!
How to rank them this week, with a Superteam running amok at Bards last week? The JGTPR computer came back with some interesting results.

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a Mexican victory in what battle?
