Schedule Changes Next Week
There is apparently a large event going on next week, and since it will disturb local traffic patterns, we have decided that we’re gonna have to play with the quizzo schedule a bit. (We’re not sure, but we think the event has something to do with “sports”.) I will have an update on Monday, but for now we know this: Good Dog next Thursday will be at 6:15 p.m. and Bards next Thursday is cancelled. I am still waiting to hear from Black Sheep, but will post on the website as soon as I know.
You Make the Call
Sofa Kingdom missed a perfect score last night because of a question they missed in the speed round. You had 2 minutes to list ten US capital cities that are 6 letters or less. They listed St. Paul. I did not accept it, as Saint Paul is a 9 letter city. Should I have accepted St. Paul as a 6-letter city?
Latest on TotalPhilly
Latest in the Metro
My latest column is on Philadelphia legend Joey Eye, a Pennsylvania’s 7-time Cut Man of the Year. He’s the guy that literally stops the bleeding in a boxing match, ensuring that the boxer he works for can keep on fighting, even if blood is pouring down his face. One thing he said that didn’t make the column was what he tells boxers when they come back to the corner with a bad cut. “Gotta keep ’em calm, so I never tell ’em how bad the cut is. They could be bleeding like a stuck pig, and I’ll say, ‘Ahhhh, that’s nothin’. I’ve had worse cuts shaving.'” The photo above is not of him of course. If you wanna see what Joey Eye looks like, check out the boxing video I recently did. (he’s at the 1:03 mark).
