JGT will be hosting the 4th annual holiday spectacular this week at all quizzoes. It will be the same questions throughout, so I am asking that all teams just play once this week. So brush up on your Christmas movies,find out what a chanukkiyah is, and come on out and party!
Quizzo For the Cause
Hey gang, the Philadelphia Committee to End Homelessness was overjoyed with the $307 we raised for them a couple of months ago, and in the spirit of the season, we’re gonna raise some cash for charity again this week. We’ll be giving to a charity we gave to last year at about this time, the Utility Emergency Services Fund. It’s a charity that helps low income families pay their utility bills, which is of course vital in the winter. I am asking each person who plays this week to donate at least $1 to this worthy cause. Also, I would like to remind male quizzo players that I have many of your New Years Resolutions already taken care of. I’ll talk to some of you this week about what you will be doing next year to help make Philadelphia a better city. More details to follow in the near future.
Question of the Week
What was the name of the Grinch’s dog? (Do not answer below)
The Embrassments win
In what Christmas classic will you find Drew Barrymore’s Grand Uncle?
Reefer Madness
And you people thought the the War on Drugs was a complete failure. You couldn’t be more wrong.
How Sweet it is!
Yo, I love McNabb and all, but how fun is it to see a quarterback play with some emotion? Especially when he plays like Jeff Garcia. If this guy was about 7 years younger, we would have a full fledged QB controversy on our hands next year. (Oh, and if one person chants “We Want AJ” at the Falcons game, you are allowed to shoot them with a flare gun). And doesn’t Garcia look kind of like an elf, something that should bode well for us on Christmas Day? Garcia vs. TO. This is gonna be awesome.

The Grinch cartoon tonight at the Troc
Yeah, we’re going to have a very special Holiday edition of the Wheel of Terrific tonight, followed by a showing of the Grinch cartoon on the big screen! After that they will also be showing Home Alone. The Wheel kicks off at 1003 Arch at 7:30 p.m., and then you’ll get to see the Grinch like you’ve never seen him before!
The Week that Was
We got the party started on Monday with Beerfest and I can honestly say that we had a blast. The Wheel of Terrific included beer bonging, a schwag beer taste test, and a very special appearance by Lindsay Lohan. It may have been the highest energy crowd we’ve ever had for the WOT, and it was awesome. The movie was actually a lot better than I thought it would be as well. Then, after the movie Ginger and I engaged some worthy opponents in a hard fought game of beer pong.

Killing the camel
Here is the opening paragraph of a story out of Turkey: A crew of mechanics at Istanbul’s airport were so glad to be rid of some trouble-prone British-made airplanes that they sacrificed a camel on the tarmac in celebration — prompting the firing Wednesday of their supervisor.
Isn’t it a miracle that every plane flying out of Istanbul hasn’t come crashing down to earth moments after take-off, when you consider that these Neanderthals who SACRIFICED A LIVE CAMEL ON THE TARMAC were the mechanics! Also, keep in mind that this is Istanbul, the metropolitan hub of the country. Can you imagine what they are sacrificing in the small villages? Gypsies? Finally, I can just can just imagine a sweet old American couple who have taken their first big overseas trip in a while sitting in the airplane as it coasts toward the tarmac, having just arrived in Istanbul.
Woman: Hey sweetie, my eyes are bad. Can you tell me what those gentlemen are doing over there?
Man: Hmmm, it’s hard to tell. Let me just get my binoculars. OK, let’s see…JESUS F****** C*****!!! These maniacs are sacrificing a live f****** camel! I told you we should have gone to Paris!”
Turkish officials fire airport chief mechanic over camel sacrifice.
AND SINCE WE’RE TALKIN’ ‘BOUT CAMELS Scouting out Camel Toads at the pool, the funniest letter to an advice columnist ever sent (sfw).
Tribute to AI
AI is like that girl that you wanna hate, that it makes total sense to hate, and all your friends think you should hate, but there is something about them that you just can’t help but love. Damn, we gonna miss you, Bubbachuck. (Lots of spine tinglers in this video. Sort of safe for work, but 2Pac drops a couple of cuss words in the songs, so be cautious.)
