At a press conference on the steps of Capitol Hill, Johnny Goodtimes tearfully apologized for an error he made in last week’s Quizzo Spectacular. On the question, “True/False: Andrew Jackson was the first president born in the United States of America,” Johnny stated that the answer was true. His reasoning was that the first six presidents were born in the British colonies. However, after receiving an e-mail from angry fan Brett “The Barber” Beefcake, Johnny did more research. “Today, I regret to inform you, the fans, that an inexcusable error was made during last weeks Quizzo. Andrew Jackson was born in 1767, and Martin Van Buren was the first born after July 4, 1776. Though it did not alter last week’s standings, it is an embarrassment to me, my family, and my good friend Paris Hilton. I hope you, the fans, can forgive me,” Johnny said before breaking into uncontrollable sobbing. This has not been an easy week for Goodtimes. He was spotted twice over the weekend at Pat’s Steaks after 3 a.m. ,having obviously struck out with the ladies repeatedly over the course of both nights. Though the press conference was not seen on television here in America, it was seen on two different stations in Saskatchewan, where Johnny is very big.

Atari Monkeys Fly

The Atari Monkeys pulled past the Nation of Quizlam to win at Nick’s Roast Beef on Wednesday night. Two of the team’s players tested positive for steroids, but Johnny’s steroid policy was inspired by Major League Baseball’s. “Everybody is concentrating on the negative. I’m impressed that 50% of the winning team isn’t on steroids. Why isn’t anyone talking about that?” said Johnny.
Bloody Noses Win Historic Quizzo

The Bloody Noses, a team of local doctors “tying one on” to relieve the stress of having to perform open heart surgery in a few hours, were able to stagger to a 98-93 win over Special Ed Ed in the first ever Quizzo at Doc Watson’s. “You know,” said Dr. Chuckie Needlebump (in photo, top right) “This is my first ever heart surgery. So to go into it with not only a buzz, but also a win, gives me the relaxation and confidence I’ll need to perform so delicate a procedure.”
You’ve Lost That Livin’ Feelin’

Livin’ Feelin’ stayed alive on Wednesday at Nick’s, blowing out the competiton, making the Nation of Quizlam look more like a Banana Republic of morons. Actually, the Nation was able to finish second, edging out Fo’ Quizzel My Nizzel and overcoming a pathetic display by the defending champion Monkey Test-EZ, who couldn’t even crack 70. I will have an absolutely crazy story about last weeks quizzo on the website in a few days, so stay tuned.
Monkey Test-EZ Shock World!

The Monkey Test-EZ were able to hold off the Thundercats-Hoe, The Nation of Quizlam, and Fo’ Quizzel My Nizzel to win the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular at the place it all began, Nick’s Roast Beef. The Monkeys were able to win despite having “Extra Baggage” Bagley (pictured at far right), who has an IQ that hovers around 30.
Comedy Show Bumped by Eagles
Realizing that there is nothing funnier than the Eagles wide receivers, the Finn McCool’s Comedy Show will take this Monday off, but will return on November 17th at 10:30 p.m. This also gives us an excuse to put Eagle cheerleader Micki on the website.
Johnny Speaks About Frank Clements
Frank Clements was sold recently, and when the staff showed up for work on November 1st, they were told they no longer had jobs. There were a lot of wonderful people who worked there, and I will sorely miss them. It was really neat to be a part of Philadelphia history, and I’m sorry that all of that was gone overnight. There aren’t many places like that left.
I thoroughly enjoyed the regular crowd we had on Tuesday nights, and though I know we can never recreate that experience entirely, I do hope we can find somewhere else to meet. If you have anything to say about the Frank Clements closing or would like to let me know where we should try to do a quizzo on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m., please check out the message board. I have spoken with several bars in the area, and I would like to find one where you guys would feel most comfortable. Edie, everyone’s favorite waitress, wrote a note that I thought you guys might like to read.
Fo’ Quizzel My Nizzel Doggy Dogs Competition!

Murda Was the Case at Nick’s Roast Beef Wednesday night, as Fo’ Quizzel My Nizzel killed Money For Nothing in Round Four, scoring a miraculous come from behind victory. It was a win that Fo’ Quizzel fans will cherish forever as their team scored fifty points in round five. A new standard was set, as they became the first team to ever go from worst to first in the final round, overcoming 50-38 lead held by Money for Nothing. But Money for Nothing choked in the final round, and don’t think Fo’ Quizzel sharpshooter Reggie Miller let them forget it. The Nation of Quizlam finished third with 84, O’Neals champion Team Hater finished a disappointing fourth with 81, and Happy Mommy was fifth with 80.
Jams On It!

The Jams became the first team to three-peat, holding off Special Ed Ed and Satan’s Penis (The Johnny Goodtimes Ethics Committee is still deciding whether to impose sanctions on Satan’s Penis for poor taste). The Jams have been all but unbeatable for the last two months, winning five of the last six contests.

About Johnny Goodtimes
Johnny Goodtimes is host of nightly quizzos, the remarkably popular bar game that has taken Philadelphia by storm. Johnny has recently been named as the best quizzo host in the city by City Paper.
Though Goodtimes is widely recognized as the Dali Lama of trivia, his background remains a mystery. He was born in a town of 600 people in eastern Virginia and played against Allen Iverson in Boo Williams’ Summer Basketball League. After college, he took his talents to Hawaii, where he was a dolphin trainer, bringing the likes of Kobe Bryant, Al Gore, and Comedian Jon Lovitz into the water with our wetter mammalian counterparts. He then moved to Philadelphia, and after discovering the uniquely-Philly sport of “Quizzo”, successfully started his own empire – hosting the event at 7 locations weekly throughout the city.
About Quizzo
Quizzo, a bar game that came to America a few years ago from Ireland, really seems to have struck a cord in Philadelphia, as thousands of people play at bars and taverns throughout the city every week. The game itself is quite simple: participants play in teams of up to eight people, writing down answers to questions given to them by the quizmaster. The team that scores the highest total points at the end is declared the winner. What separates Johnny from the pack is his unique scoring system, his sense of humor, and a website on which he posts pictures of the winners (and occasionally losers), writing bogus and sometimes hilarious stories about the contests.

Broadband Demographics
A survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project reveals that 59 percent of them (broadband users) are college graduates, compared with 35 percent of dial-up users. Broadband users skew white, with half as many blacks and Hispanics accessing via high-speed connections as through dial-up. Broadbanders are also tech-savvy and experienced – twice as likely to be on the Internet for six years or more (42 percent, versus 20 percent of dial-up users). A January 2003 Nielsen//NetRatings study shows that narrowband skews slightly female (53 percent), while broadband skews slightly male (52 percent).
Broadbanders spend more time – a lot more time – online than their dial-up counterparts. According to a February 2003 Arbitron/Edison Media Research study, the average broadband user spends 13 hours online per week, compared with 8 hours for people with dial-up connections
