Week in Review
A player that won twice, some new blood at the Sheep, and the an adios to a regular. Let’s review.
–“Cuz I Got High” by Afroman, Featuring Phil Rizzuto, which was really just Steve O. and D-Mac, blew away the field at O’Neals, missing only two questions on their way to a 113-96 win over Last Quizzo as a Free Man.
-A nailbiter at the Bards, as the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion, as they and the Sofa Kingdom missed 0 questions in Round Three and got the same two questions wrong in round four. So it came down to the Speed Round, and Narks got one more right in Round Two, which would prove decisive in the 100-98 win.
–Mrs. Astor Will Miss Her Hair Appointment (aka the Jams), won yet again at the Vous with a 110. It was their 9th win in the last ten weeks at the Vous. One more win and we’ve got a bounty on our hands. Dead Television Personalities finished 2nd with 99
-A close match at the Black Sheep, as the Detroit Ligers knocked off Eschaton (aka Satan’s Minions), 99-94. The red hot Duane’s MInions, winners of 4 of the last 5 going into Wedensday’s game, finished 3rd with 92.
-It was Steve O. again at at the Good Dog, as his team the Snap, Crackle and Popped Collars beat the Axis of Evil Knieval, 102-93. My parents team, the Hometown Heroes, finished 3rd.
-It was Sayanara Pete (above, on JGT’s right in white t-shirt) Day at the Bards, as the regular for several years played his last quizzo before moving to DC. Sadly, there would be no spectacular send off, as his team, Jason Basedow Stole My Starter Jacket, finished in 4th. The Hurtin Bombs took the win, 101-87, over John the Baptist’s Last Name was Goodtimes.

Constitution Center Quizzo…Tonight
The final Constitution Center Quizzo is tonight at 6:30 p.m. If the weather is nice, we’ll do it out on the deck. Quizzo is free with Museum admission. Each member of the winning team gets a $20 gift certificate to the Stephen Starr restaurant of their choice. ‘m not expecting a huge crowd, so this is a good chance to a victory. And yes, they will be serving alcohol. See ya there!
Around the Horn, brought to you by the Shore Natives
-In the photo above are my parents, whose team finished third last night at the Good Dog, and my friend Shannon, who just coincidentally was in Philly as well on a work assignment. She and I were good friends in elementary, middle and high school. No, we never dated. What part of “I was a loser in high school” do you not understand? She now lives in Baton Rouge.
–The Metro has a new Eagles blog. It’s pretty good.
–The Lovely Ginger has started her own blog. How did I find out? Not because she told me, the guy who gave her big break in the blogging industry. Oh noooooooooo. I found out because Foobooz linked to her yesterday. Ginger and I are officially in a fight. I may need a new co-host for Quizzo Bowl 4.
-I received the following text message from Smackdown last night, who was playing in an Rock Paper Scissors tourney: I just won my RPS round…and they called out that I was your friend. Everyone booed! I think that making myself the most hated man on the Philadelphia RPS circuit may be my greatest accomplishment. As Reggie Jackson said, “Fans don’t boo nobodies.”
-Show at Medusa is still on for Saturday night at 7 p.m., and it’s gonna be a good show, but I’m off the bill. My folks are in town, and I don’t wanna have to be gretting ready for stuff all three nights they are here. Still gonna be good though, with Chip headlining.
O’Neals on Sunday
They’re going to be raising money at O’Neals this Sunday with their “Get in the Pink” event on Sunday from 12-5, raising money for the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. Press release after the jump.
Elvis
It was 30 years ago today that the King passed away. I’ll be playing lots of Elvis tonight at quizzo.
Um…What?
An inmate has filed a $63,000,000,000 BILLION (Is that $63 billion billion?) dollar lawsuit against Michael Vick and claims that Vick stole two of his pit bulls and then sold them on EBay and then used the money to buy missiles from Iran. You know, I’ve heard that Tom Brady buys missiles from the oppresive Saudi regime, but I guess that because they’re our “allies”, it makes it ok. Or is it because the NFL doesn’t like black quarterbacks buying missiles from the MIddle East, but is OK with white quarterbacks buying missiles from the Middle East?
