Quizzo News

The stock market crashed must have gotten people too scared to leave the house last night, cause we had our slowest night in months. Nonetheless, the match at O’Neals was determined by a coin flip and at the Bards two teams went into the final round with a perfect 64. For those playing tonight, the trend is this: the first three rounds are pretty easy, but the impossible round is damn hard.

Also, gonna start a new quizzo at Draught Horse up by Temple on Monday. I won’t always be hosting it, as have hired a new man, named Doctor Sandman. More on him later this week. Anyways, the details are as follows: Monday nights at 8 p.m. at the Draught Horse (1431 Cecil B. Moore Ave.) Ifou know anybody at Temple law school, please let them know. Thanks!

Finally, just need to hear from one more member of the band and we’ll be good to go for QB4. However, he’s the star of the show, so I can’t really do anything until I can confirm him for March 29th. Hopefully today.

No Mention of Goodtimes in Alycia Lane Novella

Ok, first of all, when you search google images for Alycia Lane, Eric B. and Rakim come up on page 2, which is awesome because Alycia is one of my favorite women ever and Rakim is one of my favorite rappers ever. Secondly, Philly Mag wrote a short book about Lane in their upcoming edition, which you can read here, and which does not contain a single mention of me at all. Why? Simple. Because the love between Alycia and I is forbidden, and our secret would be revealed if I discussed it in some glossy mag. The only people who truly know how Alycia and I feel about each other are Alycia, myself, and you, the loyal readers of this website.

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?‘” -Martin Luther King

I highly encourage you to consider honoring King’s legacy by getting involved in your community, whether it is by joining Big Brothers or by joining any of the dozens of local charities that are always on the lookout for volunteers. Know you want to volunteer but not sure what for yet? Go to Philadelphia Cares.

  • Spent my Saturday night lying on my couch watching the Buddy Holly Story (and you thought I didn’t have an exciting life!) Anyways, great movie. Did a little research after it was over and stumbled across something pretty incredible. Peggy Sue (the inspiration for the Holly song) and Holly’s wife, Maria Santiago, have never gotten along. Well, Peggy Sue recently decided to release a book in which she says that Holly was planning to divorce Santiago and marry her. Santiago is not pleased, and is suing for the book to not be released. I wish two women would get in a catfight over me 50 years after my death. That is my main wish. My 2nd wish is for a time machine.
  • It was on this date in 1950 that George Orwell died. Here is his obit in the BBC. One of my favorite Orwell shorts is “Shooting an elephant”. The correlation between this story and our current foreign policy is striking.
  • Sex with robots is on its way. Finally! Levy, however, foresees dolls imbued with artificial intelligence to give them personality and charm. The first talking sex robots, he says, could just utter a few stock phrases. (“You’re huge!”) With my luck with electronics (and women), I’m sure I’d order a defective one. “Wait, before we do anything, I’d like to…beeedie, beeedie, beedie…rehash that argument we had last night. “
  • Ram It! Just Ram It! Man, I hope the Patriots put out a rap song before the Super Bowl.
