Your Big Weekend Semi-Quizo Update

A quick little infodump to ease you into the weekend:

The finals of the Dark Horse Quizo Tournament of Champions are, of course, this coming Monday night in the restaurant. The teams competing for the top prize of a significant sum of money are Das Boot, Oprah's Book Club, Alias Pseudonym Undercover, Rod Torfelsen's Armada, and Filipino Grigio. There will also be a bunch of other stuff given away - check the website and scroll down to the original rules post to see just what. I expect funtastic things.

Secondly, tomorrow night (aka "Saturday") is quizmaster extraordinaire Johnny Goodtimes' Quizzo [sic] Bowl IV. It's at the Blue Horizon on Broad Street, which I can say at the very least is a great place to watch boxing. I also expect it to be a great time and am mildly displeased that I'm not going to be there.

The Dark Horse is sending a juiced-up squad of players selected from a bunch of our own teams - seriously, they asked me for steroids - appropriately named the Dark Horse All-Stars. I don't know if their team is full yet - I believe at last count they had 6 of the required 8 - but if you want to find out I recommend e-mailing Dr. Dan at danieltnevin@yahoo.com. At this point I know they have folks from Das Boot, Oprah's and Alias, so this is already a high-powered team. They're like the Avengers, though I believe they still might need a Hank Pym. Ask Dan.

If you want to cheer them on or even enter your own upstart team, hit up JGT himself at johnnygoodtimes@hotmail.com or head for his site, aptly named www.johnnygoodtimes.com, and get yourself some tickets.

I expect a full report on the action come Monday.

As always, should you or any members of your Quizo team completely choke the Dark Horse will disavow any knowledge of your supposed trivia skills.

This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Dan.
