Around the Horn, brought to you by the Shore Natives
-In the photo above are my parents, whose team finished third last night at the Good Dog, and my friend Shannon, who just coincidentally was in Philly as well on a work assignment. She and I were good friends in elementary, middle and high school. No, we never dated. What part of “I was a loser in high school” do you not understand? She now lives in Baton Rouge.
–The Metro has a new Eagles blog. It’s pretty good.
–The Lovely Ginger has started her own blog. How did I find out? Not because she told me, the guy who gave her big break in the blogging industry. Oh noooooooooo. I found out because Foobooz linked to her yesterday. Ginger and I are officially in a fight. I may need a new co-host for Quizzo Bowl 4.
-I received the following text message from Smackdown last night, who was playing in an Rock Paper Scissors tourney: I just won my RPS round…and they called out that I was your friend. Everyone booed! I think that making myself the most hated man on the Philadelphia RPS circuit may be my greatest accomplishment. As Reggie Jackson said, “Fans don’t boo nobodies.”
-Show at Medusa is still on for Saturday night at 7 p.m., and it’s gonna be a good show, but I’m off the bill. My folks are in town, and I don’t wanna have to be gretting ready for stuff all three nights they are here. Still gonna be good though, with Chip headlining.
O’Neals on Sunday
They’re going to be raising money at O’Neals this Sunday with their “Get in the Pink” event on Sunday from 12-5, raising money for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. Press release after the jump.
Elvis
It was 30 years ago today that the King passed away. I’ll be playing lots of Elvis tonight at quizzo.
Um…What?
An inmate has filed a $63,000,000,000 BILLION (Is that $63 billion billion?) dollar lawsuit against Michael Vick and claims that Vick stole two of his pit bulls and then sold them on EBay and then used the money to buy missiles from Iran. You know, I’ve heard that Tom Brady buys missiles from the oppresive Saudi regime, but I guess that because they’re our “allies”, it makes it ok. Or is it because the NFL doesn’t like black quarterbacks buying missiles from the MIddle East, but is OK with white quarterbacks buying missiles from the Middle East?

Can You Smell What the Scorpion King Is Cooking wins Franklin INstitute Science Spectacular
Can You Smell What the Scorpion King is Cooking pulled off a victory at the Franklin Institute on Friday night, edging Osirus’s Minions, 91-86. But the real story was the melt down of the 3d place team, Duck Butter. Featuring Trivia Art, Smackdown, and D-Mac, the Butter had a perfect score going into the final round, but only answered 4 correctly in round four to finish with an 84, out of the money. The next museum quizzo will be this friday at the Constitution Center at 6:30 p.m.. Be there!
