Quick notes

-Bounty Bowl at O’Neals (3rd and South) tonight. $25 extra to anyone who can knock off the Young the Old and The Restless tonight.

–Quizzo for the Cause this week. Was gonna do it last week, but we had low turnouts due to the weather. So $1 to play, with all proceeds going toward my Little League.

–Phillies tickets go on sale manana. Anybody up for opening day? That’s Monday, April 2 at 1:00 P.M. Holla at me if you’re up for it.

-I’ve got a bunch of free movie passes to see an upcoming release called Starter for 10. Let me know at quizzo if you wanna see it and I’ll hook you up with passes.

Barristers Bracket Challenge!!!

Gonna be a great bracket challenge on the website once the NCAA tourney starts. Barristers Bar and Grille (1823 Sansom) is gonna be offering up $250 in gift certificates to the winner of the bracket challenge, and you fill out your brackets right here at johnnygoodtimes.com starting Monday, March 12. So start studying up on your college b-ball. Or better yet, don’t. Because the person that wins these things is always “Denise from accounting” who just loves Valparaiso’s uniforms. And what is so frustrating is that she wins over good people like you, a person has been studying perimeter defense weaknesses in all of the Patriot League teams for months, and is finally gonna win the bracket challenge this year, you just know it.

Barristers is promoting the fact that it is going to have the NCAA Tourney ticket, so you will be able to see any game you choose in there, and they’re gonna have lots of specials as well. I’ll have a lot more details as we get closer to the day.

Question of the Week

When this opera opened in Rome on February 20th, 1816, the crowd booed throughout, and there were several onstage accidents. What opera was it?

Yo sorry

Had to write my Metro story and then had an appointment, so I’m off to a late start. WiIl get the question of the week up in a few. Word-JGT

Borat tonight at the Trocadero!

Hey gang, we’re showing Borat tonight at the Trocadero. Show kicks off at 7:30 p.m. with the Wheel of Terrific.

Sexamaphones win at ‘Vous

Who was killed at Kealakekua Bay on Valentine’s Day, 1779?

The Young, the Old and the Restless win at O’Neals

In what year was Hawai’i admitted to the Union?

Hawai’i Trivia

Alright, peeps, as you know, I’m flying out to Hawai’i this week. So I’m posting pics of last weeks winners with questions about the 50th state underneath each photo. One guess per person.

Around the Horn

-The winner at the box office this week was Ghost Rider, a Nicholas Cage movie that looks, quite honestly, like it could be the worst film ever made. Last week’s winner was Norbit, which looks, quite honestly, like it could be the worst film ever made. Next week number one at the box office is expected to be Judge Dredd 2: Dredd Vs. Wapner.

-Remember when you were a kid, and your mom had a rough couple of weeks, so she bolted out of rehab and shaved her head bald and got tattoos all over the back of her neck? Of course you do. So why make a fuss when Britney does it? The amazing thing is that she’s going to lose the custody battle to Kevin “Playing With Fire” Federline, which is kind of like losing a hockey game to the Flyers: almost impossible to do unless you are trying.

-Philly sucks at recycling. Somebody has a plan with proven results. John Street doesn’t have time to hear it.

-I meant to post this last week but didn’t. It’s Bill Conlin’s look at what he thinks the Phillies batting order should be. He drops Rollins in the lineup to protect Howard, which is a great idea. I love Jelly Roll, but I hate having a leadoff hitter with a OBP that isn’t much higher than his BA. Holy cow, it’s mid February and we’re already talking baseball. This is awesome.

Hello-The Week in Review

We began the week by showing True Romance at the Troc. The show opened with a very special Love Connection, as Chip Chantry was looking for love. Asronaut Lisa Nowak tried to snag Chip, but when she found out that another contestant was dating her astronaut lover, she flew into a rage and sprayed her with Mace. Next up, sexy bartender Mariann was up for grabs. It looked for a second that a terrorist was going to win her hand, but his “Death to America!” screams infuriated the Abe Lincoln impersonator who was trying to win her devotion. The terrorist looked like he had beaten the Lincoln impersonator with the sleeper hold, but the crowds chants of “USA! USA!” stirred something deep within the Lincoln impersonator and he came back and beat up the terrorist and won Mariann’s hand. In other words, it was a pretty damn funny show.

On to quizzo. Another week, another blowout at O’Neals, as the Young the Old and the Restless won easily again, crushing Philly Hardcore. I am hereby announcing that there will be a $25 bounty on YOR’s head next week, the first time they have ever been honored with the Bounty Bowl designation.
