-Bo has been one of my best friends since before we were born. Our moms were friends when they were both pregnant with us. Well, he’s got a baby now named Lucy (above left) who her first birthday on Sunday. It was a great first birthday party. I mean, I had a great first birthday party, but this one was even better. I didn’t have duck cake.

-Last year, I said that Tacconelli’s tied with Tony’s for best pizza in Philly. The accolades haven’t stopped coming. ‘Nelli’s was named best pizza by Glenn Macnow in a recent 610 WIP pizza hunt, and just got a pretty good review from the Philadelphia Weekly.

Charles Nelson Reilly! And Eva Gabor is totally hot. Thanks to Phil for sending this in.

Is the next USFL on it’s way? Let’s hope so.

Pics from last week

Yeah, I’m a little late on the upkeep, due to the holiday. ANyway, I’m gonna post pics of last weeks winners. Since we just celebrated Memorial Day, we’re gonna do it like this: I’m gonna post a battle, you’re gonna post what war it took place in. One guess per person, and no looking them up.

Yo

Kicking it in the Nassawadox (pop. 585) library. Gotta get my story done for Metro then hit the road, drive for 4 1/2 hours, and then come up with questions for tonight, then host quizzo. Not the kind of day Philly’s only true man of leisure enjoys. I’ll have a question of the week up shortly. The wedding went well, and I spent all day yesterday on a secluded beach with about10 of my closest friends. Hard to beat. Hope you guys had a good holiday. I mean, every Monday is a holiday for me, but I know that things are different for you people. Anyway, I’ll holla atcha soon with a question of the week.

Wild Week of Quizzo

The Kingdom stayed hot, the Jams finally fell, and a new team pulled off an upset at the Black Sheep. But we begin on Monday, with an excellent Wheel of Terrific. Just ask Steve O., who played Jerry Falwell in the latest edition. It was the last ever edition of the Wheel of Terrific, though there are rumors of a Wheel of Terrific reunion. Chip and I will also be appearing in the next Die Actor Die show in June. We’re making a porno.

We kick off quizzo on Tuesday at O’Neals. Playing without pop culture guru Cocktails, the Young, the Old, and the Restless got kicked out of contention in the “First line of famous songs” round. But Dork Sided may be the new team to beat at O’Neals anyway, winning for the second straight week with a 96-75 pasting of Philly Hardcore.

No surprises at the Bards, as the Kingdom won easily, posting a 116-89 win over the Dysfunktion and Omphalaskeptics, missing only one half of one queston. It was their 7th win in their last 8 quizzos, the only loss a one point loss to the Axis of Evil Knieval.

A big upset at the Vous, as the Jams finally lost, ending an incredible 8 game winning streak. The Live Free or Die Harders put up 101 to edge the 1 1/2 Armenians (aka Steve O.), who finished with 99. The Jams finished 3rd with 91. JGT still owes the Live Free or Die Harders $30, as they collected on the bounty. There is talk of a possible bounty on the Kingdom next week. We’ll see.

Another upset at the Sheep. Duane’s World and the Satan’s Minions both struggled with the third round, opening the floor to a couple of new contenders. In the end, 5 Dumb Guys and a Redhead edged Lord, Beer Me Strength, 90-88.

Steve O. was a bridesmaid again Thursday night. He had a full team together this time, but they finished a question short, falling to MAGMA, 99-94.

It wasn’t exactly the Sofa Kingdom, but a team with one of it’s members on it still pulled off a win on Thursday night at the Bards with a 103. $20 extra for first team that beats the Kingdom. Alright, I’m outta here. Have a great holiday!

Hands Across America

It was on this date in 1986 that the famous Hands Across America took place. So I must know…did anyone of you guys participate? Oh, and I’m watching the 10! show right now b/c a friend of mine told me that Craig Laban was on. And Laban says that the inspiration for his terrible cheeseburger song came from the Good Dog Burger! So congrats, Good Dog! Your burger inspired the worst celebrity song since Don Johnson did “Heartbeat.”
