l_2cd4ebd991a787096e26ac58711f607b.jpg
The lovely Ginger (aka Sassy Kick Some Assy, aka the Beer Lass, aka Suzy, aka Hot Nickels) is gonna be hosting a slammin’ X-Mas party with her beer club tonight at Johnny Brendas and all are invited. I’m planning on going after Black Sheep. It’s gonna be fun. Here’s the 411 from Ginger:

This Wednesday is the 2nd annual holiday party for In Pursuit of Ale-Philly’s Women’s beer club and a Benefit for the National ParkinsonsFoundation.

We meet every two weeks around our city’s watering holes and as much as we enjoy each other’s company we love to branch out and see some new faces. Just think of it as another crazy night at Johnny Brenda’s but supporting the National Parkinsons Foundation all the while…..

It’s going to be an all out bonanza kicking things off with Philly local band, the Getarounds at 8!
NBC 10 will be there! We’ll have DJ Dee Jay spinning for us later (of Beatles vs. Stones
fame)! We’ll have a bottle swap..bring a bottle, take another one home…We’ll be playing some Rock Paper Scissors! Raffling off some prizes- Gift certificates and a 3 liter bottle of MAD
ELF and more! Yummy food for Carnies and Veggies!

All for $13 with optional donations for Parkinsons throughout the night

Drinking great local craft beer for a mere $3 a pint from our friends at Flying Fish, Sly Fox, Iron hill, Troegs, and Dock St. All proceeds go to the parkinson’s Foundation in memory of the Beer Hunter, Michael Jackson.

Quizzo for the Cause

We’re going to be raising money this week for a very worthy cause. I am asking everyone who plays this week to donate at least a dollar. We will then be giving the money we raise to the Red Shield, (who we helped out in the summer) to help buy Christmas gifts for the homeless children at the Red Shield Family Residence.

Around the Horn, brought to you by Leg Magic

  • “Police say the reason for the attack could be because Mr Kondaiah told too many people of the alleged magical powers of his right leg.” I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson today. If you have a magical leg, don’t go blabbin’ off at the mouth about it. Story is here.
  • As soon as she got out of prison, who did Alycia Lane call? Ed Rendell. If I ever go to jail, I’m gonna call my powerful political connections, too. Randy, Narberth’s official dog catcher, should be expecting a phone call if I ever punch a cop.
  • In other Alycia Lane news, I got totally censored by the Metro today. In the little sports thing, the first question was, “What is it about Donovan McNabb that causes so much drama?” I answered, “If he didn’t want drama, he shouldn’t have punched that dyke cop.” The 2nd question was, “Andy Reid is sick of talking about McNabb’s future. What else is there to talk about?” I answered “Dyke cops.” That one didn’t make it by the censors either. There goes that damn politically correct left wing media again! I guess sayin’ “Dyke cop” is like sayin’ “Merry Christmas” these days. The mainstream media’s all a bunch of left-wing Christ hating dyke cop supporters.
  • Got a new photo connector thingie, so hopefully I’ll be able to catch up on photos manana.

JGT addresses rumors that didn’t exist until he just made them up

Yes, I was in New York over the weekend. Had a great time. Went to a speakeasy type bar called Milk and Honey (which had some interesting house rules) on Saturday and last night went to Upright Citizens Brigade show. Even saw that giant tree at Rockefeller Center. I did not spend time with Booker and Alycia Lane while I was in New York, nor was I part of the couple that was allegedly in the cab with Alycia and Booker. Nor did I try to set Booker up by planting that slow cop car there in an effort to get him arrested so I could take his lady while he was behind bars, only to see my devious yet brilliant plan backfire horribly when the lovely Alycia allegedly took out that cop with an uppercut. That is a ridiculous rumor and I don’t even know where you heard it from, but it’s absurd. Oh, and a quick question: If the cop she allegedly called a “f****** dyke” before she allegedly punched is in fact a lesbian, does this become a hate crime?

RELATED: Dyke cop gets what’s coming to her.

UPDATE: Holy hell, Joey Sweeney at Philebrity already asked a lawyer if this constitutes a hate crime. Geesh, I thought I was just joking.

The Donspiracist Presents: Are Flu Shots a Dangerous Scam?

conspiracy.jpg
It’s that time of year again, and I don’t mean Christmas. I mean flu season. A time when when old and young alike are cautioned to run to the doctor to get their shots before this year’s supply runs out. After all, we never know when the next pandemic will arrive, right? And by then, it will be too late.

Or won’t it?

Fact is, there hasn’t been a flu pandemic since 1968. I was only an infant then, but if you listen to the media and to your doctor and to the government, the next big worldwide pandemic, a ravaging disease of unimaginable virulence, lurks in the closet like the bogeyman. It may pounce at any moment, and what will you do if you’re unprotected?

Can anyone say “bird flu”?

On the crest of this wave of seasonal panic is the announcement that New Jersey is about to become the first state — and the first governmental body anywhere in the world, in fact — to require flu vaccine. REQUIRE it.

Granted, the requirement is only limited to children under 10. And aside from that, only other high risk groups, like older people and those with respiratory or immune diseases, are strongly encouraged to take the shot. Those who are healthy and young, ie 20’s to 40’s, usually can risk going without, but if you listen to doctors and the CDC you are making yourself vulnerable if you make that choice. Flu, after all, kills 36,000 people a year, according to the CDC.

However, those numbers are widely disputed, and, as someone who has chronic asthma, I can definitively state that I have never taken the flu shot. Nor do I ever intend to. And I strongly counsel my family and friends to do the same, and if I had children, I would NOT let them get it. I wouldn’t want them to risk their health with this dangerous and unnecessary procedure.

One of the Wildest Weeks in Quizzo History

crazy_insane.gif
Gotta do a week in review this week. I can’t remember a single week in quizzo history where this much went down.
First, Philly rocked the nation at the City vs. City Smackdown. Speaking of Smackdown, her team almost pulled off the biggest upset ever.

The new online quizzo went up on Fox. This is the episode where I almost get captured by the giant lobster.

The Bombs implode in Round Four at the Bards on Tuesday.

A wild Wednesday, as the Jams lose for the 2nd week in a row, and Duane’s World doesn’t even crack the top 5. HIghest score of the week is at Black Sheep and is a 3 man team that included the Black Sheep chef.

Axis of Evil Knieval blows a lead going into the final round at the Good Dog, and a stacked Sofa Kingdom team falls to the Western Omelette in overtime.

In addition to that, a wild political discussion on the comments section under Bob T.’s latest piece, including the first time I think I’ve ever seen Steve O get mad, and Chip’s interview with Bob Thompson doesn’t work out the way he hoped.

What a week!
