Alright, finally gonna get photos up of last weeks winners. Got some really cool adventure stuff done yesterday. Still got quite a bit of editing to do. This is going to be a bit more intense than the hole in the basement. Anyways, underneath the picture will be a question about Washington, our 42nd state, admitted to the Union on this date in 1889.
Hey Kids

Bobby Badtimes Makes His First Appearance in the Metro!
I know we haven’t heard from Bobby B. in a while, but this week he made quite a triumphant return, as he has a column in this weeks Metro. “It pays better than Goodtimes’ penny-ante website,” says Bobby, “Though still not nearly as much money as I’m worth.”
Johnny and Ginger Solve the Mystery of the Basement Hole!!!
You may remember that a few weeks ago, when I was hunting for a strange cat in my basement, I came across an even stranger hole. I finally got around to investigating it on Sunday, with Ginger there to help me out. If you have a mystery that needs to be solved, or just have a basement, shoot me a line and Ginger and I will come investigate. I am totally serious. We’re looking for more mysteries. And this one, how did it turn out? Did we find dead bodies? Did we find treasure? Watch the video to find out.

Johnny & Chip to Perform Comedy, Discuss Their Many Failures Tonight at Shubin
Hey kids. You ever wanted to see Johnny Goodtimes crash and burn with a tired old comedy routine that has caused awkward silences all across this great land of ours? Well now’s your chance. And remember that 24 hour film festival disaster? Where we did one that was incredibly stupid and then we did one that we thought might be construed as offensive, so we didn’t turn it in? Yeah, we’ll be showing that tonight. And you know how essentially everything Chip Chantry and I have done together has been a complete and total train wreck? From the story behind our getting fired at the Trocadero to the open mic at Finn McCool’s where we got made fun of by homeless guys to the humiliation at a film festival that led to our production title Wet Firecracker Productions? Yes, we’ll be discussing many of our epic failures tonight on a show hosted by the man named Philly’s Funniest Comedian, Kent Haines. It’s called Why Am I Not Famous and it starts at 10 p.m. tonight at the Shubin Theatre on 407 Bainbridge Street. It should be a blast.
Party on Broad Street (Remix)!
Apparently my choice of Buddy Holly was a little too somber, so I’ve “jazzed it up” a little. Hopefully this will satisfy the critics. This song usually does.
