Quizzo Bowl Tix

QB3_blue.gif
If you decide to get QB3 tix this weekend, you can do so by going to the World Cafe Live website. If you and a few friends wanna go but don’t have a team of 8, that is fine. I do have tickets for the bar, where smaller teams can play. Talk to me next week. If you really wanna go (and you do), do not wait until the day of the event to buy your teams tickets! We’ve sold a little over 170 tickets so far, and I do think that it could very well sell out before the night of the show. If you need to contact me concerning Quizzo Bowl, then click here.

What’s the best city in America?

Going to meet with a friend about other burlesque acts for Quizzo Bowl. In the meantime, I want u to be in charge of the site and let me know what is the best city in the USA. We already discussed worst city, now let’s move to best. To be honest, I think Philly is number one. If there was one I liked better, I would probably live there. We’ve got all four sports, great food, great nightlife, a little bit of attitude, and it is affordable to live here. I’m a big fan of San Fran, and I gotta admit it, I like Chicago. As far as smaller cities go, I am a big fan of Richmond, but part of that is probably sentimental (I have a lot of family there) and Portland, Maine (super friendly people, good cozy food).

Two Wheel of Terrific Regulars Make PW’s Humor Issue

Johnny’s co-host, Chip Chantry, and WOT regular Pat House both made Philadelphia Weekly’s “10 Comedians who don’t suck” list. Congrats to both of these funny men who are both, unfortunately, bad human beings (Pat was arrested for kicking a panda at the zoo in 2004, and Chip once played a prank on a passed out roommate by injecting him with leprosy.)

It’s my birthday, and my father says I can have anything I want. So guess what I want, Pee Wee?

No, I don’t want a new brain, I just want you guys to hang out with me at one of the best movies ever made. I have decided that my last few birthdays have been kind of uneventful, and last years pretty much sucked, so this year I’m going all out to have the best birthday ever. And it’s gonna be a weeklong celebration. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Johnny, are you really so narcissistic that you think you deserve a full week for your birthday?” And the answer is yes. On Monday, we’re kicking things off with the movie that is one of only three to win Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay ever. And it also happened to be released the year I was born. And it’s gonna be a birthday party. Now don’t play me like Peter Brady, having a party to celebrate myself and none of you knuckleheads show up except for that girl I saved from the collapsing wall at Driscoll’s. For those of you who have never seen the Wheel of Terrific or been to Movie Monday, this would be a great week to check it out.

Calling All Virgins!

-There is talk of a TV reality show called “Virgin Territory” in which Jenna Jameson and Paris Hilton will teach people how to lose their virginity. Yeah, nothing should calm those “first time” jitters like knowing that 60 million Americans are gonna laugh their asses off when you struggle to undo her bra strap. And in case you are wondering, the answer is no, I will not be losing my virginity on this show.

Rocky gets dissed for winning an Oscar, 30 years later. This great line from the director of Network: “I’ve been nominated five times,” the director told The Associated Press last year. “But on two occasions, I got so pissed off about what beat us. With ‘Network,’ we were beaten out by ‘Rocky’ for Christ’s sake.”

This is hilarious. And people say that giant corporations are just unfeeling monoliths. For shame.

-This from a story about a person named Niaja who bought and sold counterfeit prescription pills such as Viagra and Percoset: Kane used the screen name “moreandmoreNiaja” to facilitate the Internet purchases. The bogus drugs were then shipped from China to Kane in Philadelphia. Again, kids, if you are going to do something illegal on the internet, it is somewhat wise to not use your actual name, especially when you are probably like one of 3 people in the entire city named “Niaja”.

FOX 29 has decided to trash it up a little. Sweet!

Tickets on sale this week

Yes, I will have Quizzo Bowl Tix on me this week. Sold about 60 last week and expect to have that number rise substantially this week. I would advise you to get your 8 person team together and get your ducks in a row, because it is on.

What’s the worst city in America?

Well, I’ve never really heard anything good about Indianapolis, and everybody always gushes over how great Chicago is, so I got to wondering, let’s talk about what the best and worst cities in America are. And let’s start with worst. This is kind of a tough one. Charlotte sucks. It is a soulless corporate refuge filled with the lamest, most boring people on earth. Detroit is really awful (especially it’s hookers). It is filthy and scary and mean, and the winters must be brutal right there on the lake. But it does have three sports teams (well, two and a half), the Ford Museum, which is awesome, and it is the home of Motown. Dallas is reprehensible. Every bar and restaurant there is as big as the Wachovia Center, and they all look equally stupid, and the people there are just plain weird. Norfolk, VA, is awful as well. It like an enormous strip mall, as it consists of just one crappy fast food chain after another with a Pep Boys and Wal-Mart thrown in and here and there for miles and miles and miles straight. But I’m gonna go with Reno. Middle of nowhere, wanna be Vegas with nothing else to do besides gamble. And in my case, get a rash on my arm that didn’t go away for a month. And no, it didn’t come from Reno hookers.

Quizzo Bowl 3: Puttin’ the IQ in Risque

1300589570_l (Custom).jpg
Johnny Goodtimes, long considered one of Philly’s greatest entertainers by the underground but snubbed by the mainstream, thinks he knows why. “I have succeeded in many things, but have failed in one-to make quizzo sexy,” says the award winning quizmaster. “That’s about to change. On February 3rd, to be precise. On that date (which also happens to be Goodtimes birthday), we will be putting the IQ in Risque.” But Goodtimes thinks his vision is even grander. “This is about more than making quizzo sexy. It’s about making Philadelphia sexy. For too long we’ve been looked at as more trashy than sexy, a stereotype perpetuated by that neanderthal eating contest that takes place every year. Trashy has had it too good in this town for too long. On February 3rd, sexy fights back.”

Therefore JGT has hired the Bawdy Girls as his halftime entertainment. THe Bawdy Girls are women who realize that sexy is real, and not something that comes from saline, silicone, and botox. Much like the fact that the true measure of a person’s worth is the amount of questions they can answer, not the amount of wings they can eat. There is already Quizzo Bowl vs. Wing Bowl smack talk going down at Blinq, so I highly suggest you check it out. JGT will be selling tix at quizzo all week ($15 a pop).
