Dear JGT,

You are more than welcome for whatever minor help I provided. I am just glad that my meager talents were up to the task.

Your humble servant,

I'm sensing a 50/50 round: Shipwreck or pirate attack.

Technically, a machete is a small sword, not a large knife.

How can I know anything about the 2000's when I'm stuck in 1987?

The Westbury was indeed full of uber-nerds, and any that weren't there were in The UA for the Harry Potter quiz a little earlier.

I'm starting to feel like the Pied Piper of Geekdom. If terrorists had struck The Ugly American and The Westbury last night, Philly would be measurably dumber today (but probably measurably cooler as well).

Re Harry Potter: The quiz is Monday, December 13 at 7:30 PM, not 8 PM. I worked out all the details with the owner of The Ugly American last night, and info will be posted on my FB page at the rise of the New Moon. (for the astronomically challenged, here's a site that will help - http://www.universetoday.co....

I'll also re-post the info right here on the JGT site first thing Monday morning.

Sorry to disappoint you Bob, but the aliens aren't here for health care. They're here for Amercan Idol and Krispy Kreme donuts, which they consider the greatest accomplishments of our civilization. Frankly, I'm beginning to wonder just how advanced they really are.

Today's Two Minutes' Hate: Political Correctness (Holiday Version) Reason: Taking offense at the the WAY someone makes an effort to be nice is insane. You can wish me a Happy/Merry/Peaceful/Joyous (insert holiday of your choice) and not only will I smile and say, "Thank you, and the same to you and you family," but I'll actually mean it. And I pretty much despise organized religion in any form. But ANY other response to an honest expression of goodwill makes you a small-minded, hateful jerk.

If you are that offended by the WORDS someone uses to celebrate a holiday, I suggest you need to grow up and get a life and start worrying about things that really matter.

That said, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I truly hope you have a prosperous, healthy, and happy New Year.

International? Isn't that dismissive of our off-world friends at Area 51? The first adjective should be "Universal".

Sleepiness? Hey, we moved the quiz a half-hour ealier just so you could be home in time for a bubble bath before bed. Do you want a post-quiz tuck-in service as well?

Of course there is. I started it.

Sorry to be the one to tell you, JGT, but you are not a "badass" at anything, unless you mean it in the sense that Richard Simmons is a "badass" at aerobics.

If I play the Friday night quiz at The Ugly American and it's not "very special", ther's gonna be trouble. Big time.

Re: Tree Fo’ Fo’: JGT Unveils His 2010 Phillies Rap

mikeminion — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 19:00:02 -0000

Now that the best the Phillies can do is to win in 5, you have to change the title. May I suggest, "Tree Fi' Fo' Fum (I smell the blood of Giant/Yankee scum)"? Turning a legendary giant's catchphrase around just seems appropriate.

You know your rap career is going nowhere when you're the only one who actually thinks you have a rap career.

Never hate yourself for being right. Besides, how is JGT ever going to learn if we don't teach him? It took years to get him housebroken, is it any surprise that grammar is still an issue?

Next up, the mutiplication table and long divsion.

No matter how many times you put it in writing, this is not the August Invitational. Call it the Fall Invitational and maybe you'll stop getting confused.
