Recently in Week in Review Category

First of all, like whoa, where did everyone come from? One week after I actually had to cancel a quizzo, I bet we had the most players we've had in 6 months. Just about every quizzo was packed to capacity, and we actually had to turn people away at Bards last night. Anyways, the action was just as crazy, as The Jams finally fell to But My Mom Thinks I'm Cool W/ Lambda after a 6 week ride, and the Girls of IPA pulled off a huge upset at the Black Sheep, holding off a mad run by Duane's World in the final round. A perfect round in Round Four would have meant perfection by the Sofa Kingdom on Tuesday, but a multiple choice question about Kombucha denied their dreams of destiny. A controversial decision at the Good Dog, as JGT, after conferring with the Good Dog staff, gave half credit for Man Full of Anger instead of Man Full of Trouble, allowing Obviously You're Not a Golfer to earn a tie with the Penn 15 Club. The Golfers then took the win in OT. The week was bookended by a thrilling, 97-93 win by L. Ron Hubbard's Diabetics over the Young, the Old, and the Restless and the only blowout of the week, the Hurtin Bombs 108-87 victory over I Like Birds at the Bards on Thursday. A pretty thrilling week, as 4 of the 6 matches were determined by 4 points or less.

Can you smell what the Omelette is cookin'? The story this week was without a doubt the play of the Western Omelette, who pulled off the unprecedented feat of two perfect final rounds in the same week, enabling them to knock off the Kingdom at the Bards both times.

But that was not the only interesting development this week, as we saw one team get quite close to a bounty, Smackdown's team start to warm up for Quizzo Bowl, and the Jams go down in a squeaker.

At O'Neals, Smackdown (who, sadly, still has a boyfriend. Sorry Bob T.), Trivia Art, D-Mac, et al. (named Archie Hamburgers Blowback Chicken Army) edged the Young, the Old, and the Restless, 100-97, and ended We Got Nothin's three week run.

Sweep the Leg, Johnny held on to edge the Jams at the Rendezvous. The Jams became the 2nd team to have a 3 game winning streak ended.

At the Sheep, Eschaton (aka Duane's Minions) cruised to an easy victory, ending the two week run of the Dalembert Report.

The team closest to a bounty? Fort Awesome at the Good Dog. They held a comfortable lead from wire to wire, and cruised to a 99-74 win over The Underachievers. If they win next week, it will result in the first ever bounty bowl at the Good Dog.

Another wild one, as we have a couple of unlikely teams over halfway to Bounty Bowls. We start at O'Neals, where We Got Nothin' has come out of nowhere to win three straight weeks at O'Neals. On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom ended the Dyfunktion's two week run. At the Vous, it was "Where's the Beef" cruising again this week with yet another double digit win. The Dalembert Report pulled off their 2nd straight win at the Black Sheep, spoiling the return oone of Johnny's all-time favorites from the old school, WTF. At the Good Dog, MAGMA returned to try to take back their rightful place as kings of the hill, but got clipped by Team Awesome, as it was Team Awesome's 3rd consecutive win. Finally, on to a ridiculously packed Bards,where the Kingdom and the Omelette both had a perfect score going into the final round, but finished tied for 2nd, as the Hurtin' Bombs took home the gold. Scoreboard coming soon.

We started on Tuesday with Ice Ice Baby, where walking was a dangerous proposition. Understandably, crowds were smallat both venues. To those of you who braved the elements to make it out: You are warriors and I love each and very one of you. Except Nate. At O'Neals, the We Got Nothin' Guys continued their incredible run, edging Young, Old, and Restless, 92-90. SPeaking of a run, the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion is the hottest team in quizzo, crushing Sofa Kingdom and scoring 111 points for the 2nd straight week.

The Jams were shorthanded at the Vous, but a strange lack of regulars (No Bus, No 1022, No Trust Us, We Know, no Project Home squad. Come back guys, I missed you!) meant that they were able to escape unscathed with a 94-81 win over Philly Softcore. New blood at the Black Sheep, as The Dalembert Report held off Duane's Minions, 87-81. Smackdown put on an impressive performance (not in quizzo) as three guys from Paris hit on her for hours.

On to the Good Dog for the first leg of the Lonely Hearts Club quizzo. And wouldn't you know it, my ex-girlfriends team, Team Awesome, pulled off a win in the V-Day quizzo. It was Team Awesome's third win in 5 weeks. Perhaps they have become the first team to beat at the Dog since the MAGMA-Evil Knieval days. Highlight of the night at the Good Dog: When I played Mr. Big, everybody started singing along. When I stopped playing the song, everybody kept singing. Amazed, I cracked, "I don't think I've ever felt so white." Not missing a beat, Moose, the only black guy in the room, stated: "Neither have I."

Questions on Thursday night were all about heartbreak and bad love songs. Sofa Kingdom apparently knows a lot about both. They missed the first question of the Bards quiz, then rattled off 39 consecutive answers to finish with the 2nd highest score ever, a 118.

A very interesting week of quizzo. It started on a quiet Tuesday, when I Got Nothin', a team that's been playing for a good year without a victory, finally got over the hump at O'Neals. On to a mellow Bards, where the Dysfunktion beat up on the Sofa Kingdom, scoring a 111-91 win. Big blowouts on Wednesday as the Jams cruised to a 104-83 win. The most impressive win of the week came at the Black Sheep, as Duane's World only missed one question in the whole game on their way to 116 points. We finally got a thriller at the Good Dog, as Team Awesome (a team that included my ex) made a 4th round comeback to pull off a 100-96 win over Dorksided. Finally, a shootout at the Bards, as the Hurtin Bombs and Sofa Kingdom finished in a tie with 110, and the top 5 teams all cracked the 100 point plateau. The Hurtin' Bombs pulled off the win in OT. To see the full scoreboard, click below.

Gotta do a week in review this week. I can't remember a single week in quizzo history where this much went down. First, Philly rocked the nation at the City vs. City Smackdown. Speaking of Smackdown, her team almost pulled off the biggest upset ever.

The new online quizzo went up on Fox. This is the episode where I almost get captured by the giant lobster.

The Bombs implode in Round Four at the Bards on Tuesday.

A wild Wednesday, as the Jams lose for the 2nd week in a row, and Duane's World doesn't even crack the top 5. HIghest score of the week is at Black Sheep and is a 3 man team that included the Black Sheep chef.

Axis of Evil Knieval blows a lead going into the final round at the Good Dog, and a stacked Sofa Kingdom team falls to the Western Omelette in overtime.

In addition to that, a wild political discussion on the comments section under Bob T.'s latest piece, including the first time I think I've ever seen Steve O get mad, and Chip's interview with Bob Thompson doesn't work out the way he hoped.

What a week!

A road trip to Canada for an RPS tournament, a new scoring wrinkle, and a quizzo lost to the ethos in a computer crash: It's time for the week in review.

O'NEALS: The Big Jesus Erection knocked off the Werewolf Bar Mitzvah, 100-95. The Young, the Old and the Restless finished a distant third.

BARDS: For the 4th straight week, it was a 1-2 finish for the Sofa Kingdom and the Dysfunktion, with the Kingdom taking the one spot the last three weeks. They won, 104-90.

LOCUST RENDEZVOUS: A shocker, as Garrett Reid is My Jailhouse Bitch (aka Trust Us We Know) changed their names and their fortunes, knocking off the Jams (aka Here's to You, Mrs. Oral Roberts) 109-107.

BLACK SHEEP: Palestra Jon's team, Polyeurethane Wife, took a perfect score into the final round and only missed two in Round Four. But it wasn't enough, as Duane's World aced the final round and took home a 114-109 win.

GOOD DOG: Was just getting ready to head out to Good Dog, and decided to print out my latest quizzo. Hit print and, BOOM! the computer crashed, erasing the entire quizzo. You would have highly enjoyed my behavior over the next five minutes as I stormed around my house, screamed at my cats, and contemplated throwing the computer off my roof. I finally settled down and headed to the Good Dog, where the Brothers' Big scored the only total blowout of the week, a 106-90 win over the Self-Effacing Scurriers.

BARDS: On to a strangely quiet Bards. All the other bars were pretty packed this week, including Bards on Tuesday, but Bards on Thursday was a different story. In the end, it was the Hurtin' Bombs holding off a pesky Holocaust Deniers: Rittenhouse Square Chapter, 94-89.

SCORING CHANGE: As for the scoring wrinkle, I let teams that were way behind going into the final round get back into it with some Monte Hall type games, giving 10-20 points for various items they might have in their pockets or purse. I only had one complaint, from my favorite complainer, but in the end, none of the teams that got the bonuses got a win. When that happens, I'm sure we'll have controversy. But I think it's kind of a fun way to keep teams that are 25-30 points down going into the final round from giving up. Your thoughts?

Alright, I'm gonna make this snappy, cause I gotta hit the road.

TUESDAY: The Young the Old and the Restless's dreams of a fourpeat were dashed on Tuesday, as Dork Sided cruised to a win with 105 points. Cornbread Mafia finished 2nd with 88. The YORs finished 4th with 82.

The Sofa Kingdom knocked off the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion at the Bards, 94-86.

WEDNESDAY: At the Vous, Booze Donkey got the 2nd highest score of the week, a 106. Unfortunately, the only team to score higher all week, the Jams, also played at the Vous. They got an incredible 115 and took home the prize.

Die, Johnny Goodtimes, Die (basically a Satan's Minions splinter cell) pulled off a blowout win over Duane's World, 101-85 at the Black Sheep.

It was also on Wednesday that JGT strapped on the purple lingerie.

THURSDAY: Speaking of blowouts, Flipped by Bonaduce scored an 81-52 win over the Syracuse Soap Opera, who I believe posted the lowest ever score to finish in the money.

The word at the Bards was that this was one of my toughest quizzes ever. The Sofa Kingdom didn't seem to mind, though, scoring a 96-88 win over At least no-one at this table has the clap.

The Week began on Sunday, when the Phils completed their monumental comeback (and the Mets completed their monumental collapse). It led to a wild, impromptu celebration in the middle of Broad Street.

-In quizzo action, we begin at the Big O, where the Young, the Old, and the F****** Psyched About the Phillies continued to roll past the competition with a 107-93 win over Dork Sided.

-The Sofa Kingdom cruised to a 99-80 win over the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion at the Bards, and then we all celebrated with Mind Erasers (above), which are a manly drink, I don't care what you say.

-The Jams (aka Madison Square Garden: Ladies Entrance) won for the 9th time in 11 weeks at the Rendezvous, acing Round Four to knock off Playing With Steve, 112-102.

-A nailbiter at the Black Sheep, as Duane's World slipped by Who Needs D? 102-100. After a couple of slow weeks, the crowd seems to be picking up at the Sheep as well. Once the weather turns, I think the Sheep will again become a hotbed of activity.

-MAGMA returned to the Good Dog on Thursday, and emerged with a victory. But they were upstaged by Mayoral candidate Michael Nutter, who showed up in time for the 4th round (above, with a crazed looking JGT, who happened to be wearing a "Member of the Right Wing Conspiracy Club" shirt that night). His team finished 4th. Al Taubenburger, if you're listening and think you can put together a squad to take on Nutter's team, let me know. I'll see if I can put something together

-An overtime match at a packed Bards on Thursday night, as the Hurtin' Bombs and the Kingdom ended in a dead heat. The OT question was, "When was Garth Brooks born?" The Kingdom answered 1954 and the Bombs answered 1958. The answer was 1962, and the Bombs came away with a win.

-We begin on Tuesday at O' Neals, where the Young Old and Restless continued their hot streak, winning for the 3rd time in 5 weeks, 98-94, over Tallulah and the Three Js. Dork Sided finished 3rd with 90. Tallulah had a comfortable lead in round four, but pulled an '07 Mets and missed the final three questions.

-On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom's five game winning streak came to an abrupt halt at five, as the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion scored a 104-96 win over Blast of Humidity. The Kingdom finished 3rd with a 90.

-At the Vous Steve O. (AKA Milton Bradley: Some Assembly Required) took a perfect game into the 4th, but changed a couple of answers he had right in Round Four and fell to the Jams (aka Eternal Silence of the Spotless Mime) 106-94.

-The Satan's Duane's were none to happy with Goodtimes Wednesday night, as their formidable team was laid low by the "1991: The Year in Music" round. Truth be told, though, they still got outscored in Round Four by the Axis of Evil Knieval and fell by a score of 107-87.

-Thursday was weird. Real weird. Are that many people watching the Phils? Smallest crowd ever at both the Good Dog and the Bards. At the Dog, the C+ Average knocked off the RPD M****F*****, 85-64.

-On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom fought off a spirited effort by End of the Bar. The two teams were tied at 58 after three, but the Kingdom had too much manpower and closed the door in Round Four, 103-88. In third place was Geekswhodrink.com, aka John Denver (all quizmasters must be named John). The king of quizzo in the game's Second City finished with 79.

Today is Will Smith's birthday, garnering him question of the week status: What was the title of the first album released by he and DJ Jazzy Jeff?

A wild, wild week that included major upsets, history being made, and the return of one of the circuit's most hated teams.

-We begin on Tuesday, where the Young, the Old, and the Restless came away with an 83-77 win over the Obscure Simpsons Reference. It was YOR's 2nd win of the month.

-A blowout at the Bards, as the red hot Sofa Kingdom made it four straight, crushing the Chin Omelette, 103-83.

-What's in a name? Plenty, if what happened at the Vous on Wednesday is any indication. A team calling themselves the Jams (aka Not the Jams) defeated the Jams (aka Shiver Me Tasers). In fact the real Jams, who had won 7 of the previous 8 quizzoes, finished an unheard of 4th. The pseudo Jams held off a late rally by 1022 to win 97-92.

-On to the Black Sheep, where a fully stacked Duane's World was the heavy favorite in a somewhat light field. But in the end it was O'Neals castaways Philly Harcargh! cruising to a 103-86 win over Duane and company.

-Thursday marked the return of MAGMA to the Good Dog, and though they looked a little rusty, they were able to hold off Creepy Guy At the Bar (aka Steve-O, playing Hans Solo), 82-81.

-Finally, history was made at the Bards on Thursday night, as the Sofa Kingdom won their 100th game at the Bards. In case anyone is curious, The Jams are the 2nd most winningest franchise, with 86 wins, going back to the Frank Clements days (To be honest, they've won more than that, but that was before the website.) I haven't added it up, but I think the Young, the Old and the Restless are probably 3rd. Anyways, the Kingdom were hardly handed a challenge in their 100th win, knocking off a team making it's first ever appearance, the Origins of a Quizzo Crisis, 104-89. And so the circle of life continues. And since it was the Kingdom's 5th straight win, there will be a bounty of $20 on Tuesday.

Started the week on Monday, when I played quizzo at the Dark Horse with Chet Bumstead and D-Mac and finished, as my quizzo teams always do, in 2nd place. (Our team name: Andy Reid's Sons Killed Pavarotti.) If we had jokered the right round, we would have won.

On Tuesday at O'Neals, it was the Pavarotti Pall Bearer Hernia Club winning a blowout, kicking the Young Old and Restless to the curb, 98-84.

On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom aced the final round to edge Two Step Hustle and Flow, 111-106. Mr. Peanut did not enter the equation.

The Jams (AKA Wrinkled, Out of Time) put up the most impressive performance of the week, nailing 39 out of 40 questions on their way to a 113-95 win over This Questions Worth...Ten Points at a packed Locust Rendezvous.

From a packed Rendezvous to an eerily quiet Black Sheep. Perhaps falling victim to the old "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" philosophy, the Sheep has been fairly quiet for the last couple of weeks, not the wall to wall madhouse it usually is. Anyways, it was Yes You Can't pulling off a narrow 102-98 win over Duane's World. Banana recorded the 2nd lowest score ever in quizzo history, a 10.

Steve, Take Us Back We'll Change wiped out the Snap, Crackle, and Popped Collars, 112-101 at the Good Dog, missing only two questions the whole game.

The Sofa Kingdom continued the tear that started after last week's debacle, winning their third straight match since the incident. This time it was a 111-101 win over Genetalia From Australia.

-It was Dorksided at O'Neals with a blowout win, 106-83, over Soylent Green: Now With More Girls. The Young the Old and Restless never got on track, and finished with a 69.

-The Great Mr. Peanut Controversy marred a hard fought contest at the Bards on Tuesday. It was the Sofa Kingdom who got the short end of the stick when Goodtimes 2nd guessed himself, and took off an extra point for loafers, which took the match to overtime. In overtime, it was the Narks taking home the victory.

-The Jams won by a single year at the Rendezvous. The weekly double question was, "Toy Story, Apollo 13, and Seven were all released in what year?" The Jams guessed right (1995) and Why So Angry Bob guessed 1996, and so the Jams took home a 94-85 win.

-The exact same thing happened at the Black Sheep. The Phils Will Win Before We Do guessed 1995 on the weekly double, Duane's World guessed 1996, and the Phils walked away with a 97-88 win.

-An extremely tough picture round (Name that album cover) kept scores low at the Good Dog, and we had our closest game all week. El Jorge Curioso edged It Ain't Over Till the Fat Man Sings, 86-85 to record their first ever quizzo win.

-The Sofa Kingdom returned to the Bards angry on Thursday, and took out their anger on the questions, ending the Hurtin' Bombs four game winning streak, cruising to a 106-94 win.

-Kick it off on Tuesday at O'Neals, as the Young, the Old and the Restless were able to win for the 3rd time in 5 weeks, taking a 101-97 win over Dick Cancer is No Laughing Matter. Philly Softcore finished 3rd.

-The Sofa Kingdom cruised on Tuesday night, knocking off 2 Pint Minimum and Don't Laugh, Splinters Cause Infections, 105-81-81.

-Our first upset came on Wednesday, as the Jams (aka Craig and McGreevey: BiPartisanship in Action) fell to Where's Baby Hair, 95-93. They were missing Jam Captain and Barb, but it was still a pretty stacked Jams team, so it was a big win for Where's Baby Hair. River of Rocks finished 3rd at a packed Locust Rendezvous.

-A big comeback for the Satan's Minions, who aced the impossible round to pull off a 106-102 win over Pee Wee Herman's Head. Perennial powerhouse Duane's World were Vegas favorites going into the match, but angered a lot of gamblers with a devastating 10th place finish.

-A low scoring slugfest at the Good Dog, where the vacuum created by MAGMA's break up has yet to be filled. I Can Has Cheeseburger beat the Good Dog staff team, We Got Glasses...What? (above). The staff team, who usually finishes last, thought that wearing glasses would make tem feel smarter and intimidate the other teams. The ploy worked, as they recorded their first ever 2nd place finish.

-And a blowout at the Bards, as the Hurtin Bombs won for the 4thstraight week. One more win and we've got a bounty. They beat The Table, the Flash, and the Fonz, 113-97. The Kingdom finished with 96.

Here's the rundown of the past week's action:
-Tuesday night at O'Neals, it was Dork Sided taking an early lead and holding on for a 95-86 win over the Cornbread Mafia. Philly Hardcore finished 3rd.

-At the Bards, the Sofa Kingdom's arch nemesis, Narkotyzing Dysfunktion, was a no-show, and the Kingdom waltzed away with a 104-82 boiling of the Two Egg Omelette. Freddie Bear finished Numero Tres.

-The Jams split into two teams on Wednesday at the Rendezvous-and those two teams finished First and Second. Hurricane Erin Blew Through Mexico edged Tommy Udo's Fan Club, 114-113. In 3rd place, it was A Different Kind of Hate. The Jams have won five in a row. I am waiting to hear from Jam Captain to see if he's playing this week. If so, we'll have a bounty.

-No upset at the Black Sheep either. Yes, Duane Can't, a conglomerate of Duane's World, the Minions, and Yes You Can't, knocked off My Eggplant Spells Cole Hamels, 104-96. Quizzo legends WTF made an appearance, but showed a lot of rust, finishing with a 75.

-Mac Robinson's Yellow Sweater got the win at the Good Dog, taking out Manstruation, 89-80. Vladimir Man Love took the bronze.

-On to the Bards, where we had controversy. It Looked Like the Day After the Day After Tomorrow had pulled off a 11-109 win over the Hurtin Bombs. I had asked what MLB team has the record for most losses in a season. The answer I was looking for was '62 Mets, who lost 120. But the Bombs put the 1898 Cleveland Spiders. The Spiders had lost 134 in 1899, so I had to gove partial credit. That forced overtime, which was won by the Bombs. The Kingdom finished 3rd with a 107.

Also this week:
-The Sequel Contest
-The Sequel Column for the paper
-The emergence of a new force on johnnygoodtimes.com, the Donspiracist.

A player that won twice, some new blood at the Sheep, and the an adios to a regular. Let's review.

-"Cuz I Got High" by Afroman, Featuring Phil Rizzuto, which was really just Steve O. and D-Mac, blew away the field at O'Neals, missing only two questions on their way to a 113-96 win over Last Quizzo as a Free Man.

-A nailbiter at the Bards, as the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion, as they and the Sofa Kingdom missed 0 questions in Round Three and got the same two questions wrong in round four. So it came down to the Speed Round, and Narks got one more right in Round Two, which would prove decisive in the 100-98 win.

-Mrs. Astor Will Miss Her Hair Appointment (aka the Jams), won yet again at the Vous with a 110. It was their 9th win in the last ten weeks at the Vous. One more win and we've got a bounty on our hands. Dead Television Personalities finished 2nd with 99

-A close match at the Black Sheep, as the Detroit Ligers knocked off Eschaton (aka Satan's Minions), 99-94. The red hot Duane's MInions, winners of 4 of the last 5 going into Wedensday's game, finished 3rd with 92.

-It was Steve O. again at at the Good Dog, as his team the Snap, Crackle and Popped Collars beat the Axis of Evil Knieval, 102-93. My parents team, the Hometown Heroes, finished 3rd.

-It was Sayanara Pete (above, on JGT's right in white t-shirt) Day at the Bards, as the regular for several years played his last quizzo before moving to DC. Sadly, there would be no spectacular send off, as his team, Jason Basedow Stole My Starter Jacket, finished in 4th. The Hurtin Bombs took the win, 101-87, over John the Baptist's Last Name was Goodtimes.

-We start on Tuesday, where the Young, the Old and the Restless won for the 2nd straight week. They knocked off Dork Sided, 95-89.

-At the Bards we had our longest winning team name, possibly ever. Matt Carlson Will Take Your Mom Out for a Nice Seafood Dinner and Never Call Her Again (aka the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion) blew open a close match in the final round and knocked off the Sofa Kingdom, 107-91.

-On to the Rendezvous, where we had another close match blown open in the final round. The Jams came from 5 down going into round four to beat We Let the Dogs Out, 111-96. The Jams were one of two teams to ace round four this week. It was their 8th win in the last 9 weeks.

-Our third straight blowout of the week took place at the Black Sheep. Duane's World was the other team to ace Round Four, and they scored an easy 105-87 victory over the River Of Rocks. It was their 4th win in 5 weeks, as they have become the team to beat at the Sheep.

-Another blowout at the Good Dog, as Snap, Crackle, and Popped Collar dominated in a 97-75 win.

-A heartbreaker at the Bards, as heavily favored Hurtin Bombs would have gone down if Mr. Belvedere's Moustache Sweats Maple Syrup hadn't missed the final question, "What sport do the French call la Natation?" The Hurtin Bombs thus held on for a 101-100 win.

-Other highlights of the week included:
-Me getting humiliated at Boggle
-Barry Bonds breaking the Home Run Record
-Goodtimes calls Nixon Underrated.
-The "popped collar" article. Please show this to your friends at Penn!

The week began on Monday, when I revealed how John Keats failed to score me a #. Then, on Tuesday, it was time to review Philly Mags Best Of Philly issue. On to quizzo. It was an extremely competitive week that saw 4 matches determined by 5 points or less, and nobody win by more than 7. Tuesday at O'Neals, the Young the Old and the Restless held off Nothing Says "Hetero" Like 3 Guys Huddled Around a 3 by 3 Table, 98-91.

On to the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom scored their 4th straight win, a 99-92 effort over Matt Carlson Is a God Among Men. No surprises at the Vous either, as the Jams (aka the West Croaked Offense) withstood an impressive performance from Ante Homeless, Auntie Homeless Anti Homeless, 103-100. It took us until the Black Sheep to find an upset. Flander's Vegas Wife, a couple of guys from old school quizzo legends The Goats, got 50 in the final round to edge the red hot Duane's World, 100-95. It had been over two years since the team, regulars at the Bards and part of the infamous Western Omelette-Goats rivalry of 2004, had won. It was also on Wednesday that I returned home to discover that someone had apparently melted on my doorstep (above). I mean, seriously, who leaves jeans on doorsteps?

Another old favorite at the Good Dog on Thursday. The Axis of Evil Knieval, who are a little bitter that there is no more MAGMA to knock off, edged Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water, 99-94. "If MAGMA ever decides that they want to go back to being smacked around by us like in the good ol' days, have them get to the Good Dog ASAP," stated one unnamed member of the Evils.

A thriller at the Bards, as three teams finished within three points of the titlebut in the end it was Saint Anne's Mini Onions, a conglomaorate inclding some of Satan's Minions, that edged the Hurtin' Bombs and the Sofa Kingdom, 103-100-100.

Kick it off at O'Neals, where the Cornbread Mafia (w/ an assist from Steve O.) took home their first ever win. They knocked off defending champs This Dildo Tastes Funny 108-97.

The Sofa Kingdom apparently didn't like it when I said that they were no longer the best team at the Bards, and have sent a loud and clear message as of late, missing only 5 questions total in their last three quizzos (That's 115 out of 120 questions answered correctly.) They cruised to a 116-99 win over Narcotyzing on Tuesday, and came from behind to pull off a 109-107 win over the Hurtin Bombs at the Bards on Thursday. The Bombs had a perfect score going into the final round, but still couldn't hold off a resurgent Kingdom.

On Wednesday, the Jams (aka Lindsay Lohan is Our Designated Driver) recovered from their loss last week to pull off a 102-78 win over Trust Us We Know at the only non-packed quizzo this week. (ie if you want to be guaranteed a table at quizzo this coming week, the 'Vous might be your best bet). On to the Black Sheep, where Duane's MInions had little trouble with a pesky Yes You Can't team, but pulled out their 4th straight win. One more win and we'll have a bounty.

A grand return for an old quizzo favorite, as The Axis of Evil Knieval knocked blew past thefield and finished with an impressive 107. Then it was the Kingdom at the Bards. Will their hot streak continue? Will your team pull off an upset this week? We'll find out soon enough.

We kick it off on Tuesday, where This Dildo Tastes Funny came from behind in the final round to knock off Dork SIded, 97-93. On to the Bards, where the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion won for the 4th time in 5 weeks to, dare I say it, become the team to beat in Tuesday night quizzo at the Bards. They carried an 11 point lead into the final round and held on to kick the Kingdom, 99-94.

On to Wednesday, where Todd the Wet Sprocket collected the $20 bounty, busting out the Jams, 107-102. Going into the match, the Jams had won an incredible 13 out of 15. But the Sprockets have talked about possibly forming a regular team, so hopefully we'll get a good rivalry going at the Vous.

Had our first double digit win at the Black Sheep, as Duane's World won their 3rd straight match, 106-95, over Yes You Can't. Another win for Duane's World next week and we might be talking bounty. We'll see.

No bounties at the Good Dog, where a mad power struggle continues to play itself out, and there are, incredibly, some open tables. After months of complaints over not being able to get a seat, the last month has been pretty daggone quiet. This week, it was Lady BIrd Lives knocking off Steve O. and the Ketchup Bottle (a team that consisted of Steve O. and a ketchup bottle), 101-87.

On to the Bards, where I was convinced, after question #5 of the impossible round, that the Kingdom was gonna collect their 2nd perfect score ever. I had thought I could stump them on give me first and last names of th eSPice Girls, but they knew them all, and I didn't think my last 5 questions were that tough. But question #7, "WHat Nazi leader parachuted into Scotland in 1942 and spent the next 45 years in prison?" stumped them, and they had to settle for a 114-102 win over Crazy For Swayze. The defending champs, the Hurtin Bombs, finished in 3rdwith a 101.

The week started on Monday with the birth of my 8 pound, 20 inch niece, Lucia Marie Sullivan. I smoked a celebratory cigar with my dad and brother in law on Tuesday morning, then drove back to Philly to get the quizzo week under way. Let's face it, the questions on Tuesday and Wednesday were as tough as I have ever asked, and scores were pretty low. But before we get to quizzo, I gotta make sure that those of you who haven't already read about Willie Gee getting fired at the thrift store do so, and read the ensuing comments section, as numerous people from the Eastern Shore challenge Palestra Jon to a fight.

We got back in the swing of things tuesday night, as the Young, the Old, and the Restless scored a 92 to cruise past the competition at O'Neals, and the Sofa Kingdom finally ended their longest schneid ever, winning for the first time in over a month with an easy 95-80 win over Narkotyzing.

LadyBird Has Flown the Coop (aka the Jams) knocked off Steve O and D-Macs team, Easy Round My Ass, 88-82, at the Vous. It was the Jams 5th straight win. I feel a bounty coming on. Duane's World posted a 96-90 win over Toxic Megacolon at the Black Sheep.

A strange night at the Good Dog. We had a nice sized crowd, but I don't know if I recognized a single player. A lot of new blood at the Dawg, and Nazakhstan came away with a 92-88 win over Salt 'N' Pepa.

On to the Bards, where the Hurtin Bombs missed 2 of the first 6 questions and then did not miss another one to knock off the Kingdom, 116-101. My ex-girlfriends team (The Birfday Squad) finished 4th with 91. We also saw our lowest score of the week, a 33 by I'd Rather Be Drinking at Drinker's. Pics of winners, toughest questions of the week, and results of Constitution quizzo coming Monday.

No stories since I wasn't there, but here were the scores from last week:
TUESDAY
Dork Sided overcame Cornbread Mafia, 83-76.
Two Step Hustle and Flow edged Narcotyzing Dysfunktion, 90-89.

WEDNESDAY
Duane's Wold wins a squeaker, 81-79.

THURSDAY
C+ Average defeats Lovely Lady Lumps at Good Dog, 69-58.
Hurtin Bombs knocked off Sofa Kingdom, 95-91.

Alright, I gotta get crackin so I can make it to the Phils day game. Let's start at O'Neals, where we had the same top two for the 2nd straight week. Dork Sided knocked off the Cracked Eggheads, 105-91. The Dorks have supplanted The Young the Old and the Restless as the team to beat at O'Neals, with 5 wins in the last 7 weeks.

On to the Bards, where the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion dominated the last couple weeks. But this week looked like it might be different, with the Sofa Kingdom returning from a two week vacation. Not so much. The Kingdom entered the 4th quarter up one, but the Dysfunktional blew by them in crunchtime and came away with a 105-86 win.

The Jams won at the Vous for the 4th straight week, despite going into the final round down 12. But El Train and the Criminalistics, who had a big lead after round three, exhibited one of the most astonishing meltdowns in modern history, getting only one question right in the final round and going from up 12 to losing by 28. Trust Us We Know finished 2nd.

Sorry Guys, Hannah's Off the Market (aka the River of Rocks) came from 2 back to slide past the Satan's Minions, 99-93. It was the 7th different team to win at the Black Sheep in the last 8 weeks.

A very weird hursday night at the Good Dog, which had a brownout shortly before kickoff. A few brave souls decided to withstand the humidity and stay for the first ever JGT Unplugged. It was kind of fun. In the end, it was John, Paul, George and Ringo holding off Armenia...A Solar Powered Country (aka Steve O.), 85-80.

And a spectacular finish to the week, as the Hurtin Bombs caught fire, and headed into the last question with a perfect score. The question: "Which two Vice Presidents served less than 6 weeks in office?" They answered John Tyler and Rufus King. The correct answers? John Tyler and...Andrew Johnson. Rufus King served 45 days in office, three days more than 6 weeks. The Bombs missed a perfect score by three lousy days. This Burrito is Delicious finshed 2nd with 106 points, the Kingdom finished 3rd with 103, and the 2 time Defending Champs Bob Ross... finished 4th with 92.

And to finish it all off, here's a little bit of info about Levis' Hot Dogs.

We had another great comeback this week, and a new team won but apparently didn't realize there was money and glory involved in quizzo. But we begin with JGT selling out on everything he's ever stood for, as he Rode the Ducks on Tuesday afternoon. On to quizzo, and a win at O'Neals for Dork Sided, who cruised to a big lead after round three and held off the Cracked Eggheads in the final round for a 95-88 win.

The only blowout of the week took place at the Bards on Tuesday night. El Narcotyzo led from beginning to end and walked away with an easy 111-83 win over Less Than Sporkers. The Sporkers have informed me that they are bring their A-team this week and plan to pull off a win.

The Jams did not have an easy time of it at the Vous on Wednesday, struggling in the speed round and not exactly lighting it up in the wild card round. But they got 9 of 10 correct in Round Four and held on for a 91-90 nailbiter over Trust Us We Know.

A weird conclusion at a packed Black Sheep on Wednesday. The Satan's Minions and Duane's World both ate a sandwich in the music round, so it came down to a couple of unknowns, Team Zieggenfus and the Valerie Plame Affair. Zieggenfus held on for a 97-94 win, then took off out the door like greased lightning, not stopping for their photo or their $40. I had the steak. It was pretty good, and the photo of me was quite terrific.

No MAGMA at the Good Dog on Thursday, leaving a team of superstars poised to walk away with an easy win. Steve O., Trivia Art, and Matt from Satan's Minion were among several solid regulars playing on the Art-Mag-Minions. But they missed the weekly double and fell to C+ Average, the first ever win for the team of regulars that had previously turned finishing 4th into an art form. For once, the C+ average buckled down and brought their grade up.

Finally, a shocking comeback at the Bards. The Hurtin' Bombs got off to a hot start, and the game appeared to be over after three rounds. They had a perfect 64 and held a 14 point lead over the 2nd place team. Bob Ross Blow Dries his Wolf Bush, the defending champs, had a 49. But things fell to pieces for the bombs in the final round, and they could only eek out a 34. Meanwhile Bob Ross caught fire and aced the final round, the only team all week to do so. And so this rag tag group of ne'er do-wellers, who last week celebrated their win with a trip to a rather seedy joint, pulled off an improbable 104-98 victory again this week after going almost two years without a single win.

Things were looking good for Steve O.and the rest of Badger Tsunami. Damn good. They had aced the first three rounds, and it looked like smooth sailing. One team they certainly wouldn't have to worry about was Impossible to Walk in this Dreck, who had struggled through the Wild Card Round (Twins) and who had a 44 going into the final round. But as the Tsunami broke, the Dreck got hot, acing the final round. But would that be enough to move them ahead of the Tsuami and perennial powerhouses Dork Sided? FInal scores: Badger Tsunami 94, Dork Sided 98, Impossible to Walk 99! Yes! The greatest comeback in quizzo history, as Impossible to Walk overcame a 20 point deficit to win in the final round. Unheard of!

A close finish at the Bards as well, as Sofa Kingdom was conspicuously absent all week. Their chief foes, Narcotyzing Dysfunktion, were able to tack on another win, but it wasn't easy. They had to overcome a resilient Chin Omelette team that made a comeback in the final round, but fell just short, 97-94.

No surprises at the Vous, as the Jams (aka Opus Dei and the Knights) took an early lead and cruised to a 111-84 win over If You Don't Use It You Lose It. The Jams were one of only 2 teams to break the 100 point mark all week. Team Name had the weeks lowest score, an impressive 21.

The other team to break the 100 point mark was the Satan's Minions, who seem to have broken out of their slump, winning for the second straight week. Gomer Piledriver and Betsy Bailed tied for 2nd, with Gomer taking the silver in the tiebreaker.

On to Good Dog, where there were no surprises. Since Johnny called them out last month, MAGMA has been on a roll, and they won on Thursday for the 4th time in 5 weeks. MAGMA scored an 89, while Ow! My Eye! finished in 2nd with 83.

There are very few times that you'll hear me use the word "Miracle". This was one of those time. The Kingdom was absent on Thursday, but that didn't mean that there were no heavy hitters in the house. The Satan's Minions, feeling cocky after their convincing win on Wednesday, were in attendance, as was the always tough Omelette and two time defending champ Hurtin' Bombs. But the team that pulled off the victory had been playing every single week for years, and had not won since August of 2005. Rich Kotite Beats His Kids to Jock Jams scored an incredible 50 in the final round to edge the Minion's, 97-92. The Hurtin Bombs finished 3rd with 87. The Omelette, which had a 9 point lead going into the final round, imploded and finished with an 81.

A week after a wild week of shocking upsets, we had a week devoid of any. The planets realigned this week, starting with a narrow Dork Sided win at O'Neals. They edged the Young, the Old and the Restless, 84-80. It was Dork Sided's 3rd win in the past 4 weeks.

Onto the Bards, where the Sofa Kingdom held off a formidable new foe, Sporkers of the World Unite, 98-89. Narcotyzing Dysfunktion finished with an 80.

The Jams (aka Paris will be riding a scooter) got a scare from one man team Steve O., who managed to tie them at 100, but fell in the extra frame, as the Jams were only one year off in knowing when A Man For All Seasons was released on Broadway (1961).

Parke Overall was unable to recapture the magic that had propelled them to a win the week before, finishing 5th. The Satan's Minions finally got a win, their first since late April, and only their 2nd since February. The Eastern Vikings (aka River of Rocks) finished 2nd 94, and Duane's World finished 3rd with 92.

MAGMA cruised at the Good Dog, knocking off Big Oil Praying For Hurricanes, 104-86. Steve O. picked up a teammate, but struggled in the final round and finished with 79.

Back to the Bards, where Sofa Kingdom did fall, but it wasn't a particularly huge upset, as the team that knocked them off was the Hurtin' Bombs, who won for the 2nd straight Thursday.

Other highlights of the week included:
-The poll for best bar in Philly, won by...other. More discussion on this next week.
-JGT asks for festival ideas and the best one he gets is Von Hayes Fest. Nice work, you creative geniuses.
-JGT goes to the legendary Blue Horizon.

Started the week on the good ol' Eastern Shore of Virginia, where I had a hot date to a wedding on Saturday. (Rumors that she must be completely blind to be my wedding date are untrue and, quite frankly, unfair. She can make out shapes and colors). Oh, and I did drop a sick hip hop medley at the reception, which consisted of verses from "It's Tricky", "Ice, Ice, Baby", "Shimmy Shimmy Ya", and "Bust a Move". Needless to say, it went over extremely well. There was video taken, and if I can get a hold of some, it will propel me to the rap superstardom I so richly deserve. And Eve will be my date to the next wedding. They will call us "hip hop royalty" in the papers. It will be awesome.

On to quizzo, where the Young the Old and the Restless fell behind early, but aced a tough final round to come from behind and cruise past defending champs Dork Sided, 102-88.

A minor upset at the Bards Tuesday night, as the Dysfunktion, seemingly the only team that can hang with the Kingdom on Tuesdays, took a 100-94 win and the extra $20 bounty i had placed on the Sofa's head.

On to the Rendezvous, where we had a thriller. Charles Nelson Reilly's Ascot Collection held off Trust Us, We Know, 94-92. The Jams made a 4th round surge, scoring 50 to get to 90, but had made their bed in the movie taglines round. Darth Ern's knowledge of movie taglines doesn't extend into the "talkies". Is their a new threat to Jam dominance at the Vous? Time will tell.

The craziness continued at the Black Sheep. A duo calling themselves Parke Overall tacked up a surprisingly easy win over Duane's Minions, 91-79. I honestly can't remember the last time two new teams won on the same night. I bet it's been at least 3 years.

And the wackiness didn't stop there. The 2 1/2 Armenians, the new team to beat at the Good Dog, fell to the Goodtimejohnnies.com, 107-101. On Thursday night, the Wild Card round (Things that Sting) was unquestionably tougher than the Impossible Round.

At the Bards, two teams aced round four, but the Hurtin' Bombs missed less questions in Round Three and edged The Looser the Waistband, the Deeper the Quicksand, 107-104. The Sofa Kingdom was MIA.

Neither the Jams nor the Sofa Kingdom won this week. I would love to know the last time neither one of them won one week. I bet it's over a year. But I'm too lazy to find out. If anyone wants to do the research (Nate, JohnniE?), I'll buy ya a drink next week.

The Kingdom stayed hot, the Jams finally fell, and a new team pulled off an upset at the Black Sheep. But we begin on Monday, with an excellent Wheel of Terrific. Just ask Steve O., who played Jerry Falwell in the latest edition. It was the last ever edition of the Wheel of Terrific, though there are rumors of a Wheel of Terrific reunion. Chip and I will also be appearing in the next Die Actor Die show in June. We're making a porno.

We kick off quizzo on Tuesday at O'Neals. Playing without pop culture guru Cocktails, the Young, the Old, and the Restless got kicked out of contention in the "First line of famous songs" round. But Dork Sided may be the new team to beat at O'Neals anyway, winning for the second straight week with a 96-75 pasting of Philly Hardcore.

No surprises at the Bards, as the Kingdom won easily, posting a 116-89 win over the Dysfunktion and Omphalaskeptics, missing only one half of one queston. It was their 7th win in their last 8 quizzos, the only loss a one point loss to the Axis of Evil Knieval.

A big upset at the Vous, as the Jams finally lost, ending an incredible 8 game winning streak. The Live Free or Die Harders put up 101 to edge the 1 1/2 Armenians (aka Steve O.), who finished with 99. The Jams finished 3rd with 91. JGT still owes the Live Free or Die Harders $30, as they collected on the bounty. There is talk of a possible bounty on the Kingdom next week. We'll see.

Another upset at the Sheep. Duane's World and the Satan's Minions both struggled with the third round, opening the floor to a couple of new contenders. In the end, 5 Dumb Guys and a Redhead edged Lord, Beer Me Strength, 90-88.

Steve O. was a bridesmaid again Thursday night. He had a full team together this time, but they finished a question short, falling to MAGMA, 99-94.

It wasn't exactly the Sofa Kingdom, but a team with one of it's members on it still pulled off a win on Thursday night at the Bards with a 103. $20 extra for first team that beats the Kingdom. Alright, I'm outta here. Have a great holiday!

Wow, one of the weirdest, wildest weeks in recent quizzo history. We start on Monday, when 8 other cities across the country dared to compete against us in a battle of brains. By the time it was done, Philadelphia reigned supreme, taking 5 of the top 7 spots (with Sofa Kingdom finishing first) and firmly establishing itself as the Quizzo Capital of North America.

O'Neals, however, did not fair so well at the Smackdown. It had 3 teams representing, but Badger Tsunami, the Young the Old and the Restless, and Dork Sided finished 7th, 9th, and 10th, respectively, out of 11 teams. So it was only fitting that Dork Sided, who finished 62 points behind the Kingdom on Monday, would come back with a vengeance on Tuesday and score higher than the Kingdom would later that night with the same questions. The Dorks knocked off Lick My Nutters, 103-98.

On Monday, the Sofa Kingdom won $800 at Rembrandt's (23rd and Aspen, where the Philly portion of City vs. City Smackdown took place). On Tuesday, Rembrandt cost them a win at the Bards. They led going into the final question, but missed, "Who painted the Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolas Culp as well as the Prodigal Son of the Tavern, both in the 17th Century?" The answer was Rembrandt, the Axis of Evil Knieval got it right, and walked away with an impressive 99-98 victory over the Kingdom.

Things returned to normal at the Rendezvous, as the Jams (aka Now That Falwell's Dead, Tinky Winky can Come Out of the Closet) knocked off Jan and Dean Need $30, 90-83. $30 cash on the line against next week to anyone who can knock off the Jams (plus the $25 gift certificate.)

An upset at the Black Sheep, as CATDOG finally got over the proverbial hump and held off the Satan's Minions and Rum Dog, 90-88-88. Congratulations, Catdoggers! Defending Champs Duane's World finished with an 84. Strictly Prohibited had the lead going into the final round, then tanked hard and finished with 73.

Onto the Good Dog, where MAGMA and the 2 1/2 Armenians continued was has to be, with no debate, one of the worst rivalries in sports history. On weeks when the 2 1/2 Armenians show up, MAGMA doesn't, and on other weeks Armenian warlord Steve O just comes by himself and teams up with MAGMA. Such was the case on Thursday,and the results were fairly predictable. The MAGMenians quashed We're Getting Quashed, 110-69, which I'm pretty sure is the biggest margin of victory ever. To put it in perspective, MAGMA could have missed the first 8 questions of Round Four and still won.

Round four questions must have been a little too easy on Thursday, as two teams at the Bards aced the final round (MAGMA aced it at at the Dawg). But the Kingdom outplayed Nutter? I Hardly Knew Her in the speed round and that would prove to be the difference, as they won 112-107. Chucks Bike-O-Rama had the lead going into the final round, but had to settle for 3rd with 99.

First, on Monday, JGT read the Philly Mag from cover to cover, then gave you his thoughts. At quizzo, we start with an upset, as This is Our Birthday Party, Damn It was the receiver of a birthday miracle, knocking off the Young the Old and the Restless, 101-94. The win earned the birthday party a spot at the City vs. City Smackdown.

Off to the Bards, where Sofa Kingdom essentially put it in cruise control after Round One and crushed Free Prostate Exams in Milwaukee, 105-77. Narkotyzing Dysfunktion was bowled over, finishing in the gutter with 71.

Johnny got to keep his $20 again this week, as the Jams knocked off the Fort Dix Invaders, 93-84, despite not playing with one of their best players. The bounty rises to $30 next week. An inspirational performance at the Vous by Sorry Linda, I'm Having Your Baby, as they only trailed the Jams by one heading into the final round. There is no need for us to discuss what happened in Round Four.

The Black Sheep was the most wide open race for quite some time, with a new winner every week, but lately it's gone down as a battle between two heavyweights. Duane's World edged the Satan's Minions, 105-103, to win for the 3rd time in the past 4 weeks. This from a team that a few months ago had to have a players only meeting to figure out what the hell was going wrong.

An interesting development at the Good Dog, as Chill Rob A and Zombie of MAGMA teamed with Steve-O to form 2 1/2 Armagmians. The result was an easy 87-74 win over the No Talent Ass Clowns-and a lot of questions about the balance of power at the Good Dog. The latest rumor has a MAGMA member dropping out, and a new fiery squad emerging from the earth in the coming weeks. And whither Axis of Evil Knieval? All I know is this: things at the Dawg are wide slam open for a new power to emerge.

Blah blah blah Sofa Kingdom Blah blah blah win Blah blah blah Bards blah blah blah 101 points. Law School GIrls are Easy finished 2nd with 94. Now let's go bowling.

Rough week for Goodtimes, who performed like Britney Spears this week. A scoring snafu at the Bards, a speaking snafu at the Black Sheep, and getting busted with that transvestite hooker and nitrous oxide tank led to a tough week for Philly's premiere quizmaestro.

We start at O'Neals, where the Young, the Old, and the Restless have proven themselves to be the Robert Horry of quizzo, coming up clutch in the final round every week. Another nail biter at O'Neals, and another YOR win. They held off the Palestra Junkies and Cindy's First Moustache, 93-89-89. I Got Nothing also finished within one question fo an with an 88.

Only two members of the Sofa Kingdom showed up at a packed Bards on Tuesday, and the result was a good old fashioned ass whooping administered by their arch rivals, the Narkotyzing Dysfunktion. The Funk came away with a 101-100 win over Polar Bears Do Not Have Money, while the Kingdom finished 5th with a 77. Tuesday also marked the return of quizzo legends The Goats, who finished 4th. But the real story was JGT missing a point that the Polar Bears should have gotten in Round Three. But it was partially the Polar Bears fault as well, as JGT would have given them the point had they requested it at any point before the match ended. Once scores have been announced, the match is over, no questions asked.

Nobody claimed the bounty at the Vous on Wednesday, as the Jams held off the Avalon Avengers, 101-93. It was their 6th straight win, and JGT is thinking of offering a bounty again this week. Quite frankly, this juggernaut needs to be stopped.

After months of frustration, the guys of Duane's World seem to have found their groove, winning for the second week in a row, and edging the Satan's Minions, 107-105. Lord Beer Me Strength finished 3rd with a 103. JGT fumbled through the instructions for the speed round so badly that finally someone yelled, "Are you high?" (The answer is no. Lately, I've had a hard time finding really good...uh, nevermind.)

No MAGMA at the Dawg on Thursday meant an easy win for a team that seems to be primed to take over MAGMA's spot as the team to beat, 2 1/2 Armenians. The Armenians blew past Happy Birthday Gabs, 110-92, and with 3 wins in 4 weeks I think it's fair to say that they, not MAGMA, are now the class of the Good Dog.

Sofa Kingdom, desperate to avenge their devastating loss at the Bards earlier in the week, teamed up with some ringers from the Hurtin Bombs to cruise to an easy win at a somewhat quiet Bards on Thursday. Your Mom's Got Carrot Top in a Leglock finished 2nd.

The week really started on Saturday. A beautiful spring day, the kind where all of the women break out there cute skimpy little outfits and prance around town. And I was in the Reading Terminal Market, watching large men eat pork byproducts. The guy in the photo above is the guy who won the Scrapple cook-off by making Scrapple burgers. I had a sample of one, and it was really quite good.

In quizzo, a couple of major upsets later in the week, but a pretty standard Tuesday: Young Old and Restless win ayet another squeaker (this team just thrives in the late innings), and Sofa Kingdom winning in a blowout. At O'Neals, the YORS held off Dork SIded, 106-105, while Women are Easy, State Capitals are Hard finished with 100. At Bards, the Kingdom knocked off the Dysfunktion, 107-96.

No surprises at the Vous, as the Jams (aka Yeltsin Got His Pinko Slip) held off the Steaming Minotaurs, 97-83. There will be a $20 bounty on the Jams next week.

A remarkably close shave at the Black Sheep, as the top four teams finished within three points of each other. When the dust settled, the Satan's Minions edged Duane's World, 92-91. Every Four Papers finished with 90, and One Hangs Lower finished with 89.

Thursday night was when things started to get weird. First, a mild upset at the Good Dog, as a Steve-O led 3 1/2 Armenians knocked off MAGMA, 103-95. That's also where I got my best answer of the week. The question was, "Who shot and killed John Wilkes Booth?" The answer was Boston Corbett. Team TigerBeat Centerfolds answered, "Zombie Abe Lincoln."

THe week ended with by far the largest recent upset, as Why Am I sitting With Browns Fans knocked off the Sofa Kingdom, 99-90. It was the first win for usual Western Omelette member BMT in just over two years.

The week started with an unfortunate loss by my crack team at Dark Horse Quizzo. Then, on Tuesday, we saw a huge blowout at the Bards. The Young, the Old, and the Restless, blew out Philly Hardcore, 106-79. Defending Champs Dork Sided finished with a 55.

On to the Bards, where we saw a memorable meltdown. The Sofa Kingdom and the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion entered the final round tied at 58. On the weekly double, the question was asked, "Before the Titanic sank, the White Star Line was going to name it's sister ship this, which sounds like Titanic." The Narcotizers got it right (Gigantic). The Kingdom had Gigantic written down, but in a brief fit of insanity, changed it to Titanic II. Their defense: they had been drinking at the Phils game. (Best answer to that question, though, came from Hitler Wore a Spam Shirt, who guessed "Super Titanic".

The Jams headed into the final round down four to Nottingham Hill, but blew past them in the final frame to notch a 110-89 win. It is their 4th win in a row. A bounty next week? Certainly a possibility.

Things were a lot tighter at the Black Sheep. Duane's World kept their heads above water during the rap round, and was still within 8 points of Catdog after three rounds. In the final round, they made their move, and edged a CatDog team still anxious for their first win, 90-88.

A MAGMA-less field at the Good Dog, and Fat Kid 6 too full advantage of it to come away with a 90-81 win over Fun Rocket. Team F****** Awesome put fought the good fight, and finished in 3rd with 79.

A emotional night at the Bards, as long time Satan's Minions member Diane would be taking the field for the final time before moving to DC. The Minions entered the final round down three to the Kingdom, but fought on and came away with a 111-104 win. My Pubic Hair is an Exact Replica of Tom Selleck's Moustache finished with 82.

Another thriller at O'Neals, as for the 2nd straight week, four teams finished within a question of a win. Dork Sided made their way to the top of the heap, edging the Young the Old and The Restless, 92-91. Philly Hardcore scored 90, and the Team to Beat in the NL East scored 88. The highlight of the show, of course, was my mom hosting round number two.

Another week, another win for the Kingdom, who cruised at the Bards on Tuesday. They blew out the field, knocking out Narcotizing Dysfunktion, 108-87.

No surprise at the Vous, either, as the Jams blasted past the competition to finish with 110 points and the win. 1022 finished 2nd with 102.

The River of Rocks proved that they can win regardless of venue, as the Rendezvous semi-regulars edged the Satan's Minions at the Black Sheep, 111-108. Both teams only missed 3 questions, but the Minions missed the double question about Anna Nicole and the Rocks got it (question to follow on toughest Qs of the week).

A major MAGMA choke at the Good Dog. After three rounds, it was all but rapped up. They had a 9 point lead over Swiss Misters Little Sister and a 12 point lead over 3 1/2 Armenians, starring Steve O., going into the final round. But the wheels came off (possibly distracted by the green sweater?) and they finished 3rd with an 82. 3 1/2 Armenians took the title with a 90-88 win over the Swiss Misters.

A near upset at the Bards that would have been one for the ages. Johnny Utah's Bulge in Stone Washed Jeans Resurrected Christ came one word away from defeating the Kingdom. But on the final question, "In the movie the Pink Panther, what was the Pink Panther?", they wrote "A Diamond Thief." Had they just wrote diamond, they would have walked away with an improbable come from behind victory. Instead Sofa escaped with a 102-99 win.

This Midwest chain, which opened in 1967 by the man it's named after, is credited with inventing St. Louis style pizza.

We begin on Tuesday at O'Neals, which was the site of a thriller, as four teams finished within a question of the lead. The Young the Old and the Restless held off Badger Tsunami in the end, 99-97. Philly Hardcore finished with 96, and Dork Sided with 94.

Things were a little tight at the Bards as well, as the Sofa Kingdom erased a 7 point deficit going into the final round to edge Narkotizing Dysfunktion, 100-95. The Western Omelette finished 3rd with 92.

No close calls at the Vous on Wednesday, as a Jams team at full strength blew away the competition with an impressive 111. 1022 finished 2nd with 101.

An old favorite pulled off the win at the Black Sheep, as the WTF defeated Trying is the First Step Towards Failure, 97-90. They did so despite only playing with two players, the Big Bopper and Eisenstein. It was a huge win for this team, which won it's first JGT quizzo match way back in 2003. The Satan's Minions went down hard in the "1997: The Year in Music" Round and finsihed with an 85.

Bounty time at the Good Dog on Thursday. The Axis of Evil Knieval came before 7 p.m., and couldn't sit down because the place was already packed. But the Sofa Kingdom made it on time and edged MAGMA, 93-92, to take home the gift certificate and the extra $20.

Good thing for them that Axis wasn't allowed in the door. Taking out their frustration at the Bards, the Evil Knievals put on a clinic, knocking off Speak Up Johnny 110-104. The Western Omelette finished 3rd with 92.

Last week saw upsets galore, but this was not to be the week of the Cinderella. We start at O'Neals, where the Young, the Old and the Restless resumed their winning ways with an 84-76 win over Shake and Bake. No surprise at the Bards, either, as the Sofa Kingdom held off the newly reformed Western Omelette, 99-86. The Kingdom was perfect through three, but missed three in the final round. The Omelette was one of quizzoes most vaunted franchises in 2004 and 2005.

At the Rendezous, the Jams came back after their rare loss last week to cruise past 1022, 102-85. Meanwhile, in a cruel twist of fate, Trust Us We Know, a week after pulling off the upset with an incredible score of 114, finished in last with a measly 61. The River of Rocks, who usually give the Jams a run for their money, could only muster up 75 points.

Another week, another winner at Black Sheep, which seems to have the most parity of any of the bars. Viggo the Carpathian was perfect through three, and in the end held off the Satan's Minions, 109-95. The Crotch Angels finished third. Duane's World continued a recent slump, finishing with a 72. Rumors of a major shake-up have everyone on the team a little rattled.

With the Axis of Evil KNieval pulling a disappearing act the past few months, MAGMA is having a hard time finding fierce competition at the Good Dog. They cruised to a 98-84 win over the DaVinci Choad. It marked the 5th straght time they've won with JGT hosting. There are rumors of a bounty next week.

FInally, we end with a little deja vu all over again. The Sofa Kingdom only missed two questions to skate to a 113-104 win over the Western Omelette.

We start on Monday, when Chip and I made our (mildy) glorious comeback at the Khyber. We move to Tuesday, where the Young, the Old and the Restless got knocked off by Smart Teammate (with Steve O. on the drums), 92-89. Move to the Bards, where we saw another upset. The Narcotyzing Dysfunktion knocked off the Kingdom, 106-100.

Upset week continued at a packed Vous on Wednesday as Trust Us We Know aced the final round to knock of the Jams, 114-109. It was their first win that I can recall since last April. The Jams only missed one question in the final round (Tikal was an important ceremonial center of what civilization? The answer: Mayans.), but still couldn't pull off the win.

A new team won at the Black Sheep as well. Not Good Enough for the Grown Up Table was plenty good enough, blowing out the Satan's MInions, 112-94. Duane's World had a devastating off week, coming in next to last with a 73. Also on Wednesday, we talked about hipster fights.

Things returned to normal on Thursday, as MAGMA cruised at Good Dog and The Sofa Kingdom won big at the Bards. Both teams dedicated their wins to Pat Robertson (above) , since it was his birthday. MAGMA defeated Heather Mills Prosthetic Leg, 94-78, while the Kingdom blew by the Hurtin' Bombs, 94-85.

Flew back in on Sunday, then went and played quizzo at Dark Horse on Monday and suffered a painful defeat. Finally got back into the swing of things on Tuesday at O'Neals, where the Young, the Old and the Restless shredded the competition, scoring 100 while the Number of Hula Chicks I Lei'd Last Week Is 74, finishing 2nd.

Can you answer the 5 toughest questions of the week? Read on.

We began the week by showing True Romance at the Troc. The show opened with a very special Love Connection, as Chip Chantry was looking for love. Asronaut Lisa Nowak tried to snag Chip, but when she found out that another contestant was dating her astronaut lover, she flew into a rage and sprayed her with Mace. Next up, sexy bartender Mariann was up for grabs. It looked for a second that a terrorist was going to win her hand, but his "Death to America!" screams infuriated the Abe Lincoln impersonator who was trying to win her devotion. The terrorist looked like he had beaten the Lincoln impersonator with the sleeper hold, but the crowds chants of "USA! USA!" stirred something deep within the Lincoln impersonator and he came back and beat up the terrorist and won Mariann's hand. In other words, it was a pretty damn funny show.

On to quizzo. Another week, another blowout at O'Neals, as the Young the Old and the Restless won easily again, crushing Philly Hardcore. I am hereby announcing that there will be a $25 bounty on YOR's head next week, the first time they have ever been honored with the Bounty Bowl designation.

Wow, what a week it was. It started on Saturday, with the best Quizzo Bowl yet. In fact, it was so much fun, I'm thinking of a possible Summer Slam event. Whattya you guys think? Anyways, here's the final wrap up: Here are photos, here are the final scores, and here's the final write up. Oh, and the now infamous Flashdance video. I know of at least one ex who sent a copy of the video to all of her friends and wrote, "Yes, it's gotten so bad that I actually dated this guy for a little while."

We move to Monday night, with Beetle Juice on the big screen. I was expecting nobody to be there the day after the Super Bowl, but we actually got a decent crowd of about 60 or so. Chip and I decided to do a little charades instead of the Wheel, which was fun. The movie itself, well, I gotta admit, it is my 2nd least favorite Tim Burton film. (Mars Attacks is by far my least favorite Tim Burton film.) I get a little bored when he goes off the deep end.

We start on Monday, with the showing of The Shining. I thought the Wheel was going to be a disaster, since people attending a horror movie usually aren't in the best frame of mind to laugh out loud. But the crowd dug it. The best game was probably "Snowy Labyrinth of Death," in which a woman had to make her way out a labyrinth that consisted of three boxes before she froze to death. She did. The movie was awesome. At one point, I wandered downstairs and watched it by myself in the main ballroom for a few minutes, with an empty old bar behind me. Creepy.

Tuesday saw a blowout at O'Neals, as Dork Sided cruised to a 107-91 win over the Young the Old and the Restless. The Dorks only missed one question in the final two rounds, acing the popular "Wacky TV Neighbors Round". (The only question they missed, "What team did the Bears beat 73-0 in the 1940 championship game?" The answer is the Redskins. Early in that game, with the Bears only up 7-0, a Redskin receiver dropped a pass in the end zone. After the game, Redskin QB Sammy Baugh was asked if that play had made a major difference in the game. He said, "Yeah, that would have made it 73-7.")

It was a wild and wacky week on the quizzo front, as several of the Big Guns fell silent. A tough time to do it too, as all of these teams are desperately hoping to build some momentum going into QB3. But we begin with Snakes on a Plane. It was a huge crowd, and the Wheel of Terrific went great. With my co-host Chip Chantry off winning some contest, I got a lot of help from local comedian Pat House and the lovely Ginger. We played all new games, including "Cakes Ain't the Same", "Grapes In a 'Cane", and "Sweeptstakes to Claim". Then it was time for the movie, of which I watched a total of 30 seconds (those 30 seconds being the makeout scene in the bathroom. What can I say, I'm 31 going on 14.) But I'm scared of snakes and not really excited about flying, so I just spent the rest of the night at the bar. After that, Ginger and I grabbed late night grub at the House of Chen. And it is here that I must rat out the lovely Ginger. I saw Philadelphia's Beer Lass drink a Budweiser.

We got it started on Monday with Jackass 2 at the Trocadero. The Wheel of Terrific was, well, a disaster. And therein lies the beauty of the Wheel. It is usually either a laugh riot or a really awkward 15 minutes, which is almost as fun, b/c when it starts going downhill Chip and I just get more obnoxious to amuse ourselves. The games were mostly the same as games that have killed in the past. But there were a lot of hipsters there, and laughing out loud is expressly prohibited in the hipster handbook. The awkward silence was especially pronounced during "Horny Robot Jenga". This monday we'll be showing Snakes on a Plane.

The New Year started with a bit of a whimper. I left Virginia sunsets like the one above to roll into Philly on Sunday, just in time to make it down to the Eagles game. It was fun, though they replaced their starters so it was sort of an exhibition. After the game, I was exhausted (sort of like Britney on New Years), so I headed home and was in bed by 10:30 p.m. I've never been that big on New Year's Eve anyway. I was pumped for the Mummers on New Year's day, but that was a washout, so I just watched a lot of football instead.

Enough about me, let's talk about quizzo. We got the New Year started on Tuesday at a surprisingly full O'Neals. January 2nd is usually the slowest day of the year, but you wouldn't have known it on 3rd and South. Dork Sided cruised into the New Year with an impressive performance, finishing with a 107 and edging Saddam's Last Dance by a single point..

Now, I usually start the Week in Review with coverage of Movie Monday. But when Christmas Miracles occur, they get paragraph one treatment. Quizzo at the Rendezvous seemed like the usual quizzo at the Rendezvous. The Jams held a 12 point lead going into the final round. But they missed the special holiday edition of the 12 point weekly double, and two other teams got it, giving us our first ever three way tie in quizzo history (89-89-89). The first question of overtime was, "What year is on the screen at the start of the Christmas in Hollis video?" Perennial sixth place finishers Leftover Crack and the Jams got it right with 1987. The Merry Jolly Consumers guessed 1984 and were eliminated. Next question: "In what year was 'It's a Wonderful Life' released?" The teams both got it correct, 1946. Triple overtime. "In what year was the George C. Scott Christmas Carol released?" The Jams guessed 1971 and Crack guessed 1983. The correct answer was 1984, and we had one of the biggest upsets in quizzo history! God Bless Us, Every One!

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.

Continue reading to see the winners this week, the toughest questions of the week, and whether or not your team makes the bold print.

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,.

We turned it up to 11 on Monday of this week, and it stayed one higher all week long. Spinal Tap played on Monday, and though I would have liked to have seen a few more of you who voted for it, I understand that it was the Monday after Thanksgiving, so I'm gonna let this one slide. We still had a good crowd, and they seemed to enjoy Wheel of Terrific games such as Big Bottom and Lick My Love Pump. I'm telling you guys, you've got to check out the Wheel. You all would love it.

Check to see if your team made the bold print, read about controversy on Tuesday, a major upset on Wednesday, and a bounty bowl, after the jump.

Let's plow through this so I can get outside and enjoy this beautiful day. On Monday, we saw Strangers With Candy after a Wheel of Terrific that witnessed one of our funniest games yet, the $100,000 pyramid. I'm not going to explain it, b/c you might get a chance to see it again this week at Spinal Tap. But trust me, it's damn funny. It was the first time I had seen Strangers with Candy, which was actually a really fun movie.

On Tuesday, there were no surprises, as the Young the Old and the Restless won at O'Neals and the Sofa Kingdom continued their dominance at the Bards with a 102. Three members of Team MAGMA played at the Bards, finishing second. Will we see a new rivalry form? Only time will tell.

The JAMS were noticeably absent from the Locust Rendezvous, as the River of Rocks won with a score of 97. The Black Sheep was the scene of a shootout, as old timers the WTF came away with a 108-105 win over Satan's World, a superteam of the Minions and Duane's World.

On Thursday I came home, ate lots of turkey, and hung out with my peoples. On Friday I played in an alumni basketball game at my old school and didn't exactly shower myself with glory. I also realized just how pathetically out of shape I am, as some 24 year old hot shot on the team decided we should play man to man defense and a run and gun offense. About two minutes in, my tongue swoll up to about 4 times its normal size, restricting my breathing and leaving me gasping futiley for air. Meanwhile my legs began to wobble underneath me, causing at least some concern that I would simply callapse to the floor. Unlike most basketball games, scoring was not my main goal. Simply remaining upright for five straight minutes was a feat in and of itself, and after that time, I staggered off the court, proud that I had not humiliated myself completely. It wasn't until the fourth quarter that I would humiliate myself completely, as I blew three layups and airballed a three pointer (I told everybody that it was partially blocked, but no-one believed me) and we lost by 4. It was an ill fated return, like Jordan coming back to the Wizards, and the rest of the team whispered amongst themselves about how they would have won if it wasn't for me. I cried myself to sleep that night.

On Saturday, I saw my first ever girlfried, Mara. She broke my heart when I was 15, and I stayed up all night crying. We were together for over a month and a half, and it still ranks as one of my longest and most fruitful relationships. Anyway, she is now pregnant, causing me to finally come to grips with the fact that it's over between us and I need to move on. Well, that about wraps it up. I'll see you at the Troc manana for Spinal Tap. Hope you all had a great holiday!

It started on Monday, with the Wheel of Terrific and Half Baked at the Troc. It was a very special Wheel, as the lovely Ginger filled in for Chip. The crowd was great, and went wild when we played "Stoner Price is Right" and "Who's the Dealer?" Another game that was a big hit was "Beer or Crap", as a lucky contestant picked the right box and went home with a beer instead of a Barbara Mandrell album.

The action continued on Tuesday, as at a charity gig at O'Neals on Tuesday night, a team called Flirting for the Cause blew the biggest 4th round lead in quizzo history, 18 points, to lose to 5 Infidels and a Heathen. (above)

Click Below to see if your team made the bold type, and to read the latest quizzo rumors.

The week began with Rocky Horror at the Troc on Monday. We had a great crowd for the Wheel of Terrific, and they were treated to games such as "Jenga of the Undead" and "The Reverend Ted Experience", in which a contestant had to speak out about the abomination of gay marriage, then get a massage from a gay prostitute. Of course, they were also treated to sexy bartender Marianne (above) and a Rocky Horror troupe performing the movie onstage.

Click below to read about this week's major upsets and best team names.

It all started on Monday (as so many weeks do) with a showing of Teen Witch at the Trocadero. Now, in case you are wondering who listens to the Preston and Steve Show, it is apparently women who just love Teen Witch. I suspect that they wouldn't do very well at quizzo. No offense, of course. But anyway, I told you there were gonna be a ton of women at this thing, and I was right. The Wheel of Terrific was pretty terrific, though Preston and Steve didn't seem real interested and just announced that we were doing "some quizzo thing" upstairs. I hate to say it, but it's true: Chip and I are a hell of a lot funnier than Preston and Steve. But they are obviously a lot more popular among the Teen Witch crowd. The highlight of the Wheel was when an unsuspecting contestant ate an apple filled with razor blades, though things did get a little bloody.

The 4th Annual Halloween Spooktacular began on Tuesday, as the Embarrasmintz returned to the winners circle at O'Neals with a 103-82 win over Johnny's Wig is Atrocious. A team consisting of two women was called I Hope I don't See Johnny in the Mirror tonight. (Congrats to O'Neals, btw, who not only won for best sports bar, but who also celebrated their 27th anniversary on Thursday). At the Bards, it was the Table of the Damned who earned a 95-86 win over the Dysfunktion, helped along by four points they earned by dressing up. Wednesday saw a blowout, and a huge upset.

History was made at JGT quizzo this week, as something remarkable happened on Thursday night. But the week started with a blowout on Tuesday. Palestra Jon and Skippy joined forces and the Three Amigos won in one of the biggest blowouts in quizzo history, 102-69, over the defending champs The Embarrasments. Scores were low at the Bards, as teams struggled with the "Mysteries of the Unknown" Round. The Sofa Kingdom changed their weekly double answer and got it right, winning 90-82 over Kenny Rogers Has Poo on His Hand. Scores would rise, drastically, on Wednesday, as one team flirted with a perfect game.
