Got back in to Philly last night. Will have full details of the trip this afternoon, after I write my Metro column. In the meantime, do some reading on the Cardiff Giant, which I was in the same town as yesterday (Cooperstown) but didn’t get to see. Today was the day the Giant was discovered in 1869.
Jams Win (repped by Popo)
This Syracuse native served as head of the Democratic National Committee from 2001-2005 and is currently the head of the Hillary Clinton for President Exploratory Committee.
Dork Sided Wins at O’Neals
This Syracuse-born comedian appeared in the films One Crazy Summer and Hot to Trot, and he opened for Nirvana on their final North American tour.
Good Morning from Surprising Syracuse!
Well, an interesting weekend, to say the least. I’ll have more details and a lot of photos a little later. Currently in Syracuse, getting ready for the highlight of the trip: going to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Can’t wait. Haven’t been since I was 10 years old. Anyways, I’m gonna post pics of last weeks winners and the questions under them will be about people who went to Syracuse or who lived there. One guess per person.
Wish Me Skill!
I’m off to Toronto for the World RPS Championships. I’m really feeling good. This could be my weekend. I’ll have some pics of the craziness up sometime on Sunday or Monday. In the meantime, check out Rock Paper Saddam and PLAY THE NEW ONLINE QUIZZO!
Week in Review
Alright, I’m gonna make this snappy, cause I gotta hit the road.
TUESDAY: The Young the Old and the Restless’s dreams of a fourpeat were dashed on Tuesday, as Dork Sided cruised to a win with 105 points. Cornbread Mafia finished 2nd with 88. The YORs finished 4th with 82.
The Sofa Kingdom knocked off the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion at the Bards, 94-86.
WEDNESDAY: At the Vous, Booze Donkey got the 2nd highest score of the week, a 106. Unfortunately, the only team to score higher all week, the Jams, also played at the Vous. They got an incredible 115 and took home the prize.
Die, Johnny Goodtimes, Die (basically a Satan’s Minions splinter cell) pulled off a blowout win over Duane’s World, 101-85 at the Black Sheep.
It was also on Wednesday that JGT strapped on the purple lingerie.
THURSDAY: Speaking of blowouts, Flipped by Bonaduce scored an 81-52 win over the Syracuse Soap Opera, who I believe posted the lowest ever score to finish in the money.
The word at the Bards was that this was one of my toughest quizzes ever. The Sofa Kingdom didn’t seem to mind, though, scoring a 96-88 win over At least no-one at this table has the clap.
New Online quizzo is up!
Hey gang, the new MyFoxPhilly Quizzo Spectacular just got posted! Go check it out! If you like it, please tell a friend! I think this thing has a lot of potential, but I need your help to get the word out. Oh, and let me know how you score on this one. I think it’s a little harder than the first one.
The Donspiracist Presents: Is Denver’s Airport Evil?
The Donspiracist was not happy with the Phils-Rockies series last week, so he decided to take his revenge the only way he knew how: by exposing the TRUTH about Denver’s evil airport, an airport that looks like a swastika from above, that houses prisoners underground, and that has horrifying paintings in it’s main entrance!
I, the Donspiracist, took a week off to celebrate the Phillies’ thrilling theft of the NL East title from the hated Mets, only to have his jubilation crushed by those boys who play in Homer Central, aka Coors Field. I hope they get snakebitten.
How fitting is it then that my topic for this week is the Denver Airport? If you’ve never been or wonder why the hell I’m writing about an airport, then you need to start by taking a look at some pictures, which are taken of the mural in the Great Hall of the Denver Airport. As you look at them, you notice that they are not what you would expect for an airport serving the general public, including families and children. The work is dark, violent and disturbing. The artist who was commissioned to paint these murals claims he was simply working in a medium he has explored for years. That may be so, but what the hell? Some of the more offensive murals have since been painted over. Still, conspiracists suggest the murals portray the intentions of the New World Order, a future filled with fascist world government, genocide and occultism. (Check this out, it’s a pretty wild video about the airport -ed.)

What should I do in toronto?
I’m only gonna be there a couple of days, and part of that time will be roshamboing, but are there any sights, restaurants, etc. that I need to check out? I’ve never been. Post below.
Dinosaur Sex
Everybody has been asking me lately about dinosaur sex. And by “everybody” I mean nobody. So I’ll share with you what I know. First, an answer from the straight dope. But wait, it gets better. I stumbled onto a forum of a site called askabiologist.com, where I suspect most of the questions are like, “Why do turtles have shells?” But on this forum, things got a little wild, and the next thing you know, biologists are debating each other about dinosaur sex. Why are there no TV shows where scientists debate each other about dinosar sex? Who wouldn’t watch that?
