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.

The Latimer Street Boys needed overtime, but they pulled past It's Albert, Damnit to win at Black Sheep. The two teams were tied after regulation and four questions of OT, but only the Latimer Street Boys knew that Benjamin Franklin is believed to be the first man to electrocute animals (a turkey, a lamb, and numerous chickens), and they walked away with the gold. Eezy Money finished out of the money, and two-time defending champ WTF finished a disappointing 4th, leaving their fans angry. "W.T.F. happened here?" asked Herbie Candlewaxer. "How does a team slip so far, so fast? W.T.F.?"

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.

On a cold rainy night, A Coalition of the Swilling were able to withstand the elements and creep past Swillensky and the Western Omelette, winning by a score of 82-79-77. Swillensky had the game won, but crossed out the answer "Tuberculosis" and replaced it with "Cholera", costing them a come from behind victory. Another notable feature of the game was Johnny's bravery. When his amp kicked out, Johnny made a daring dash through the rain, and past enemy forces, to capture the back up amp, and give the people what they deserve: electrical audiophonics.
For this, he was awarded the prestigious Johnny Goodtimes Silver Star, awarded by the Johnny Goodtimes Congress of Courage.

Team Hater, coming off a devastating defeat at the hands of the Snachos last week, rallied the troops and walked out of O'Neals with a convincing win. The Snachos never really warmed up, their minds remaining chili (Sorry. That was a real stretch.) SLS, version 2.1 made a run at the end, but came up short, 94-88. Those were the high scores of the night, by the way.

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.

WTF, after offering a heartfelt apology to its fans for a controversial outburst last week, regained it's composure and held off two squads (The White Sox and the Golden Monkeys) by a 70-68 score. The White Sox were able to fight off the Monkeys in Overtime to secure the second place gift certificate.

The summer was warm for most people in Philly, but not for Hi Ho Silver, who were on a cold streak of Siberian proportions. That ended last night, as they were able to hold off the Nation of Quizlam by a 72-67 score. The Nation had finished last a week before, but made some roster changes and should be a force to reckon with in the future.

It all came down to the last question. Johnny stared at the paper in stunned disbelief. THEY HAD DONE IT! Italians Do It Better had set a new Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular record, shattering the old one by seven points. Over four rounds, they had scored only 19 points! That's almost impossible when you consider that the true/false round is, at worst, a 50/50 proposition. But this was a team of destiny. They managed to get only two true/false questions correct, and from there it was smooth sailing. The reaction in Italy was a mixture of pandemonium and euphoria.

"There has not been this much excitement since we beat the West Germans in the 1982 World Cup Final!" said Michaelangelo Da Vinci, a male hooker in Milan. "Finally, the Italians are Number One again!"

Johnny has offered to buy the team a glass of very cheap champagne if they contact him. "The moment was so magical," said Johnny, his voice quivering, "I just wish it wouldn't end." Critics say that Johnny just wants an excuse to hang out with the hot Italian girl. "No comment," remarked Goodtimes.

The Western Omelette, which grew exponentially as the game wore on, were able to outlast A Name on Tuesday, 85-78. The Johnny Goodtimes Ethics Committee lodged a complaint after Tuesday's contest against the two "members" of Omelette who were essentially making out on the floor. "It's been so long since Johnny made out with anyone, the last thing he needs to see is two other people making out. From now on, any making out at the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular will have to include Mr. Goodtimes," said Ethics Committee Chairman Fritz Harddrive.

After a bitter, heartbreaking loss at the hands of Pudge Rodriguez and Team Hater in overtime last week, the Snachos started slowly but came back and outlasted SLS to win 80-75, in the Johnny Goodtimes Spectacular at O'Neals. SLS darted out to an early 11-6 lead after round one, but the Snachos stayed the course and had the game tied up after round three. After an emotional win last week, Team Hater seemed drained and never really got on track, finishing with 72.

One member of Deweey Cheatum and Howe (whose name I won't mention-you'll never guess) screamed and moaned when I announced that the second round would be baseball, then her team got a perfect score that round. But that was not enough to hold off the Jams, who came from behind to knock off DC and H, 88-85. This was the Jams second straight win, and fourth in the last five. The cute girls who played last week were no-shows, leaving Johnny bitter and disillusioned.

The Blow Monkeys looked all but dead trailing Easy Money 43-20 early in the evening. But then the Monkeys hit their stride and spanked the field on their way to 73 points.

Team WTF hung on to win with 84 points in a performance that was almost ruined by some unacceptable behavior by a team member. And for the last time, Jerry Lee Lewis is not the "Big Bopper!"

In one of the most exciting match-ups of the season, Team Hater was able to pull off a victory in overtime, 99-98, when Pudge Rodriguez, who has come up huge in these last few weeks, answered three of five questions correctly in OT. The controversy came when a fan reached out and swiped a correct answer out of the minds of the Snachos. The fan, who is as of yet unidentified, had to be led out of O'Neals by police. Fans of the team were outraged. "That idiot just reached out and stole that answer from the minds of the Snachos. Johnny should have called fan interference." The Snachos have not won a Johnnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular since 1908, and many think they are cursed. (O'Neals does not permit billy goats inside the bar.)

That's Our Foul Ball won for the second time in three weeks, surviving a scare from Western Omelette, 84-81. The Omelette was looking good, but was overcooked by the Foul Ball. The Omelette had hoped to win back to back titles, but they committed a late error on what should have been a double play ball.

The Jams were able to climb back on top, winning for the third time in the last four weeks, a streak interrupted only by Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe last week. The Broad Street Bullies were able to finish finish second. More importantly, the cute girls in the back finished fourth or fifth or something, and Johnny hopes they contact him.

His Boy Elroy crushed the competition again, breaking the 100 point barrier for the second straight week. The Black Sheep Flockers, attempting to become the first team to win back to back Quizzos (Black Sheep and Nick's), took a 52-51 lead into the final round, but fell to pieces under the pressure.

The Black Sheep Flockers were able to emerge victorious at the Black Sheep, overcoming the handicap of going a little heavy on the alcohol. Soon after the victory, one of the members of the team was reprimanded by police officers for climbing a tree. (That's not a joke. I seriously saw it happen after the event.) Johnny Goodtimes does not condone or endorse said behavior, though he does find it at least mildly amusing.

Doctors yesterday decided to amputate the head of Las Vegas performer Roy Horn after he was attacked by a white tiger on stage in Las Vegas friday night. But horrified fans of the Siegfried and Roy team were heartened a few hours later when Siegfried told reporters that the show would go on-with Roy!

"Roy can't speak now that he no longer has a mouth, but he was able to write me a message saying that he was coming back to the stage as soon as his wounds healed. Head or no head, the show must go on!" said a chipper Siegfried.

The delicate surgery, in which doctors moved the brain to the ribcage near the heart before lopping off the head, was headed by surgeon Spanky Alvarez.

"Things went remarkably well. With modern scientific advancement, we don't think Roy will be headless forever. Hopefully, within two years, Roy will receive a prosthetic head. If that doesn't work out, however,we are keeping his current head frozen at Alcor. They've done such a nice job with Ted Williams head, we know they'll take good care of Roy's," said the head doctor.

The tiger that attacked Roy, named Montressor, did not comment on this latest development. He can't. He's a tiger, thus the make up of his vocal cords make the English language impossible to speak. (He does speak a few words of Spanish).

Do We Get Cheated and How blew past the field in the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular on Tuesday at Frank Clements, knocking off the second place finishers (Special Ed Ed) 105-92. 105 was the third highest score ever in a Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo. Two time defending champs the Jams finished third.

Western Omelette took a frying pan to the head of the competition on Tuesday at the Bards, browning out second place Brown Town, 92-75. Superfly finished with a new record low score of 26.

Whatchamacallit fought off Team Hater in round four of the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular to win a squeaker, 94-89. Defending champ SLS finished 3rd with a score of 74.

The Johnny Goodtimes Ethics Committee was founded in 1877 by Rutherford B. Hayes in an attempt to curb cheating at "America's Pasttime, Quizzo". The Committee soon came to the aid of Chester A. Goodtimes, who was having problems with mavericks shooting at him when they disagreed with answers. The Committee made firing at Chester a crime punishable by a seven point score deduction, and the gunfire quickly ceased. Several members of the Committee are over 175 years old, and they do not like to be called on by Johnny. When they are called on, their judgement is usually swift and severe. Therefore, Johnny asks that you please not lie, cheat, steal, discharge a firearm or make out with anyone (besides him*) while you are playing the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular. Thank you.

*Ladies only, please.

The Johnny Goodtimes Productions Executive Committee will look into the Johnny Goodtimes Quizzo Spectacular Record Being broken twice in the same day. "110 points and 108 points both being scored on the same night is unacceptable," said committee chairman Lex Stroker. "And when you see how good looking the two new record holders are, it brings back some unpleasant memories of Charles Van Doren and The $64,000 Question."

Critics of Johnny Goodtimes were not pleased. "Shouldn't there be an independant counsel looking into this?" asked avowed Goodtimes enemy Kenneth Starr.

Goodtimes said that "This is a tempest in a teapot. No improprieties exist. Any other questions should be directed to my lawyer."

His Boy Elroy turned in a remarkable performance on Wednesday night, breaking the hours old record with a 110. They answered 38 out of 40 questions correctly to blow past the competition. The Horsecranks finished 2nd, with a respectable 96.

Braintrust came from all over the United States to set a new record with a 108. The celebration was shortlived, however, as that record was broken at Nick's two hours later. The Trust defeated the second place squad by 13 points, and walked away with the $40 gift certificate. "We quiz each other on business trips all the time, so this was a chance to finally show off our stockpile of useless knowledge.

Adolph Hitler came out of hiding in the jungles of South America on Wednesday to voice his support for Rush Limbaugh's statements, particularly his recent ones about Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb. Hitler, looking awfully spry for a 114 year old man, said that McNabb is overrated because he's black, and that the African-American's performance in the first two games of this season proved that Aryans constitute the superior race, with the possible exception of Keith Van Horn. Hitler says that he is a huge fan of Limbaugh's. "It's like he's saying exactly what I'm thinking!" says Das Fuhrer.

Hitler also claims that George Bush is doing a wonderful job as president. "'Preventative' strikes, secretive prison camps, calling anyone who's not a dyed in the wool patriot an 'enemy', it just tickles me pink!"

When asked of the secret of his longevity, Hitler said that his yearly visits to Saudi Arabia did him a lot of good. "Me and Idi Amin used to hang out at the ritziest palaces with the most beautiful women. That Saudi government, they paid for everything!"

Hitler said that his feelings toward McNabb were a little biased, because he is a Dallas Cowboys fan.

The Jams won at Frank Clements for the second straight week, crossing the 100 point threshold again. They barely overcame a spirited performance by Special Ed, who has finished in the money for three consecutive weeks with a 97. (One first and two seconds.) Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe finished third with a 95.

The Somnambulists came from behind to record an 87-84 win over the Knights of Ni, leaving them stunned and a touch disillusioned. The last place team, who asked not to be identified, finished with a new Johnny Goodtimes record of 27 points in the contest. The most inspirational play in the contest came from Huevos Rancheros, who had only nine after two rounds but came on with a vengeance, scoring 66 points in rounds three and four to finish in third.

SLM Sliced, Leveled and Mutilated the competition at O'Neals on Tuesday night, recording a blowout 87-74 win over Adam Shapiro and the RoadTrippers. SLM led from beginning to end. The most disappointing performance came from Quattros Equis, who fell to pieces and recorded a meager 61.
