Ok, so first off a quick drink after quizzo turned into a last call situation. Haven’t closed down the Bards since the Phils won the Series, so I was probably due. Anyways, we are down to two lanes left at the first annual Richard M. Nixon Memorial Bowlizzo Spectacular. I also have a couple of duo spots available, so let me know if you and a friend wanna play on a team. If you’re gonna play, better hit me up asap. Also, had a meeting this morning about Quizzo Bowl. Looks promising, but hey, so did the Kimmel before they pulled the rug out, so I’m not going to get ahead of myself. But the meeting went well and I should hear something soon. Will let you know as soon as I do. Alright, scoreboard coming soon.
Quick notes, Brought to You by Dominoes. Wow.
- First of all, you guys have to watch this, a BBC documentary on violent crime and drugs in North Philly. Wow, this is incredible.
- A couple of notes of interest on Totalphilly. First of all, a brief history of General McClellan who celebrated his 182nd birthday yesterday. Also, how Nike is trying to squash the beef between Beanie and Gillie da Kid. Ridiculous. Finally, the S&M love triangle that took place in Philly and what my S&M name would be.
- And remember, no quizzo at Good Dog tonight. Quizzo at Bards at 10 p.m. Sofa Kingdom will not be there, so you’ve got a good chance to win.

First Annual Richard Nixon Memorial Bowlizzo News and Notes
Alright, we’ve got 5 lanes down, 7 lanes remaining. If you are a solo player or a duo and want to play, shoot me a line and I’ll see if I can put a wild card team together. Please note: I know I said 8 p.m. last time but I’m moving it up to 7:30 so we have enough time to get some extra bowling in after bowlizzo is done. Also, I have decided to make it the Richard Nixon Memorial for a touch of class. For more details on the event, click here.
Is This Company Really Worth Saving?
Here’s a fun fact for you: GM loses $1,271 every time they make a car. How is a business like that sustainable, and why bother saving it? If I had to pay the bars $20 every time they let me host a quizzo, my business wouldn’t last long. I’d hate to see so many people lose their jobs, but in a capitalist society, there is a need for business to, you know, make money at some point. How can American Taxpayers be expected to bail out a failed business that is certain to hemorrhage the money we give them every time they make a car?

No Good Dog Quizzo This Week
Quick heads up. There is no quizzo at the Good Dog this week. Apparently, they want to make “money” (Damn capitalists) so they’ve got a private gig going on. Anyhow, the good news is that this gives me a good excuse to be leisurely and only make one set of questions this week, so you won’t have to deal with the Sofa Kingdom on Thursday (they won by 48 points last night). Also, sold the first three teams tickets last night to Bowlizzo. Three down, nine to go. I’ll have tix on me tonight.
News and Notes
- I will have Bowlizzo tickets on me tonight. Hit me up. (And oh by the way, Rakim: Quowling would be a terrible, terrible name.)
- Totalphilly is looking quite a bit better now that we dropped all the bells and whistles. Here’s something I recently did on the history of the airport, and here is something written solely to piss off Dark Horse John: Why we don’t need this stupid soccer stadium in Chester.
- Finally, in case you missed it: Yes, I do have a Spiderman wallet. I got it for $.50 at a yard sale. It’s totally awesome.
Happy Birthday Treach (Video NSFW due to cussing)
Treach, the lead member of Naughty by Nature, is celebrating his 38th birthday today. Though better known for OPP and Hip Hop Hooray, this has always been my favorite Naughty song. Treach is an absolutely great writer and rapper.
