Here’s the latest, about things the Sixers can do to improve their pitiful attendance. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them below.

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.
Question of the Week
Who was the last Emperor of China, losing almost all of his power in 1911 at age 5?
Bowlizzo Party on Saturday
The people have spoken. Let’s do this. Bowlizzo party on Saturday night at St. Monica’s (16th and Shunk, 3 blocks from Oregon stop on Orange Line). Here’s how it will work. Up to 12 teams, 6 players per team (You can have 8, but only 6 can bowl). $20 a head. Winner walks with $200, 2nd place gets $100. I’ll get a couple of kegs and some pretzels. Any extra money will go to my Little League at the Marian Anderson Rec Center. I will sell tickets at quizzo this week. First come, first serve on tickets. After 12 teams, I’m done (there are 12 lanes). I will have tickets for sale at all quizzos this week, so you can buy them off me there. It will go down on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., probably wrap up around 11 p.m. or so, or maybe 2 a.m. Who knows? Here’s how the scoring will work: bowling scores for each team will be averaged after every couple of rounds. They will then be added to quizzo score. So two frames, then Round One, two frames then Round Two, two frames, then Round Three, two frames then Round four, then it will all come down to the last two frames. I think this is going to be pretty wild.
‘Sup?
Hey y’all. Still kicking it down in VA. Decided to hang around another night, so I’m gonna cruise back up tomorrow. Had a great Thanksgiving with the fam. Played in the alumni B-ball game on Friday night, did fairly well, then hung out with a few friends from elementary school (above). Hope you guys had a good holiday too. I’ll have scores and pics up tomorrow (I accidentally left my scoresheets and my camera in Philly.) Also, announcement about bowling party coming in a few minutes.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
Have a safe and wonderful holiday.
Heading on Home
Getting ready to hit the road to head down to the Eastern Shore. Above is a tourism video that will give you a bit of a taste of it. And yes, I will be dining at least once at the Exmore Diner. If you ever take Route 13 South, you have to eat at the Diner! For breakfast, get the SOS, and for lunch either get the Chicken n’ Dumplings or the Ronnie Burger, still the best burger I’ve ever had.
