If anybody scores 100 points or more tonight, I will have all the hair shaved off my head.
Johnny Hears from Champs

Wow. The Champs made themselves known last night. First, one of the Champs showed up at the Bards for the 4th round and got all ten questions right, having just come from winning by himself at Rembrandt’s. Then I received this e-mail from team member Slick Rick: “Johnny, please let it be known that we’re not bad guys. We sincerely wish all the other competitors luck in their quest to finish second. Also, if I wear Armani to the Beat the Champs Spectacular, should I also wear my Quizzo Bowl I medal, or will that clash?”
Tickets are now on sale!
Tickets for Beat the Champs have gone on sale! Tix are only $10 apiece, and the winners will walk with $300. Of course, you have an opportunity to earn extra points in the weeks leading up to the event by completing a number of physical challenges. There will be more physical challenges posted in the coming weeks. Rumors of Johnny rapping at this event continue to persist, despite the fact that he has flatly denied those accusations.
Drinkin the haterade. Lots and lots of haterade
Stuart Scott, the worst thing to happen to sports dince the designated hitter, turns 40 today. Though I think that Nancy Grace of Court TV is slightly more painful to watch, Stuart tries his hardest every night to outsuck her, trying to take lack of originality to a whole new level. “Cooler than the other side of the pillow?” Yeah, it elicited a chuckle in 1994. Now, having heard it over 300,000 times since then, it makes me want to hammer nails into my eyes. I, like most people, enjoy sports because of the games themselves, not because some idiot is screaming “Holla at a Playa!!!” at the top of his lungs. JGT dream scenario: Ship containing multiple celebrities sinks. The only people to swim to a nearby desert island are Stuart Scott and Karl Rove, where they are stranded together for the rest of their natural lives.
Playing quizzo tonight
Yo, heading back to the Dark Horse tonight so my team can defend it’s title. If you think you are man or woman enough to take it from us, go right ahead and try. I must warn you. I am very poor sport, whether I win or lose, so be prepared for a decent amount of trash talk. Oh, I’m looking for some good quotes for the site. If you got any good ones, please put them on the message board. Here’s a good one from one of my buddies earlier today: “This weather makes it seem like we’re in Florida. Only without the beaches and the hot babes.”
Happy Birthday Hunter!

Today would have been Hunter Thompson’s 68th birthday. How are preperation going for his giant cannon send off? Just fine, according to Johnny Depp. If you missed the commemorative Rolling Stone issue, here’s your chance to read several dedications to Hunter.
Question of the week
It’s been said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Not true. In fact, the fiddle had not yet been invented. Nero did own this instrument, however, and may have been playing it as Rome went down in flames.
Pet of the Week
Johnny Goodtimes is teaming up with the local SPCA to bring you a pet of the week each and every week. You can learn more about the inaugural pet of the week, Cocoa, by clicking here. If you do decide to adopt a pet from the SPCA, please send me a photo of you with your new pet so I can put it on the website.
Johnny on top secret mission
Johnny will not have time to post last night’s results because he is currently on a top secret mission, the results of which are to be published in a local newspaper sometime in the near future. Results for Thursdays contest will be posted Sunday. In the meantime, let’s take a trip down memory lane. It was almost a year ago when the First Annual Be the Next Johnny Goodtimes Contest took place. Let’s have a look back at the contestants.
