Tuesdays is Foobooz days

As many of you know, my good friend Trivia Art runs a popular local website called Foobooz, where he searches out the best food and drink deals in town. Every Tuesday, he’s gonna come on this website to talk about some of his favorite spots around town that are also a great deal. Here’s his first:
If you’re familiar with Foobooz at all, a guide to eating and drinking in Philadelphia you know it serves multiple masters. On one hand it aims for a place in the foodie’s heart, highlighting what’s new and coming soon on
Philadelphia’s dining scene as well as what’s creating the loudest buzz. On the other hand Foobooz is a frugal boozer’s good friend, putting the spotlight on drink deals around our fair city.

So for my first column on johnnygoodtimes.com, which master to server? Well luckily there are places like Little Fish and their Sunday night prix fixe dinner. Just $28 gets you five courses of excellent seafood, and since it’s a BYOB, no expensive liquor bill.

Deviousness

The lovely Ginger and I are in the midst of something devious. We will let you know what we are up to later this week, but I just thought should know. No, we are not making out with each other. We did that once, in 2003, but it was like when Brandon Walsh and Valerie Malone (played by the lovely Tiffani Amber Thiessen. Meeeow!) started to make out in 90210, we just started laughing and said, “This is stupid.” So we won’t be going there again.

Beerfest tonight at the Trocadero

Beerfest, a film produced by the guys who brought you SuperTroopers, will be showing tonight at the Trocadero (1003 Arch). A film that you should be drunk to see at a place where you can not only drink to your heart’s content, but you can also win free beer! The Wheel of Terrific will be kicking things off at 7:30p.m.

Questions this week

Alright, I’m throwing up questions this week about sunshine, since today’s weather has me giddy. So post your answers in the comments section below the pics. ONE GUESS PER PERSON!

Bubbachuck on his way out

Am I the only one one with extremely mixed feelings about AI’s impending departure? On the one hand, this team was going absolutely nowhere with Iverson on the team, and I really wouldn’t mind getting some young talent or some draft picks in return for him. And to be honest, I really haven’t paid much attention to the Sixers in years,so I won’t miss him that much. But he was a lot of fun to watch play, and I certainly appreciated the way he left it all on the floor every night. He reminds me a lot of myself as a player except that he is, uh, really good.

Now that I coach a little league team, I can’t really hold Iverson up as a role model, though. Anytime I want a kid to try harder or show some hustle in practice I can’t really say, “Do you think this is the way AI practices?” because the answer would be “Yep.” And when guys are making fun of a teammate, I can’t really ask, “Do you think that this is the way AI talks to his teammates?” because he doesn’t exactly come off as a team leader. So in both cases I have to revert to Dwayne Wade and Lebron James, who are much better role models than AI.

THe Week that was

12-08-2006 013 (Custom).jpg
Wow, this was a wild one. Started with the Eagles game at the Troc. The Wheel of Terrific was pretty good, though we did one skit called “What did you ‘Putin’ My Sushi” that was high on concept but came off like a ton of bricks. But the other games went well, and the $100,000 Pyramid is always a huge hit. The game was great, of course, as the Eagles pulled of a win. BeerFest will be showing on Monday.

See if your team made the bold type and see if the Sofa Kingdom got upset in the Bounty Bowl after the jump,.

Working on it

Yeah, I’m working on the Week in Review, but it’s slow going b/c I actually went out the last two nights. And by went out, I mean, didn’t go anywhere but hung out at whichever bar I finished up quizzo at. Think I’m gonna take it easy tonight afer B-ball practice. Also, men who regularly play quizzo: I’ve got your New Year’s Resoluton all taken care of. Don’t worry about it. I have a very exciting goal for 2007 and you are going to help me achieve it by being better people. Details forthcoming.
