I'm still dealing with the aftershocks of the move, so there hasn't been much time to update the ol' blog. As things normalize expect a greater frequency of more interesting posts.
It's shaping up something like the image at left.
Blaming the Workers 
With the baseball playoffs ended we're back to a pretty normal quiz schedule.
As always, I am not making this crap up.

No longer a Comcast customer, I haven't had call for many Comcast Sucks posts of late. This news item, however, is of interest.
... which is in reality precisely one douchebag named Andrew Weilgus. Long-time blog readers might recall this particular turd from this post or this one, in which we learned that Andy W. makes a series of farcical and questionably legal claims to other quizmasters in an attempt to extract money from them in exchange for, in effect, nothing."Sorry i'm not advertising competing games, many people have been confused thinking you were working for us and have relayed their disappointment when they found out it was not NTA. Good luck with your en devours."
I seriously doubt that any one person at any time has ever even noticed that a quiz was or wasn't affililiated with the NTA, let alone "many" people, and the idea that this spelling- and grammar-challenged douche is writing better quizzes than most of us is laughable.Of particular amusement to me is the pseudo-French phrase en devours, no doubt intended to mean the English word endeavours. There isn't a French word "devours." This from the man who writes a far superior quiz to the rest of us according to his website!
Not content with this display of ignorance, Andy W., clearly worried that someone is doing a better job of running quizzes than him in his own backyard, sent a second email attempting to threaten Michael with ruin and entice him with fictional employment via the NTA:
Exhibit the Second:
"We cant work with you on Laguna because we have a no compete in that town but if you wanted to consider switching to our game for the Fridays show i could talk to you about taking a role with us and training you as an alternate in the region, you would have to not use the game in brigantine though. I can tell you since we ve been running quizzo since 2000 down here we've seen a ton of independent games come and go because they can't offer the level of game we can nor can they match the nation wide tournament aspect of our game which includes our nation finals in atlantic city. Depending on what you were getting from Fridays i'd be willing to discuss a deal."
Michael is effectively telling Andy to stuff it through ignoring him, as is appropriate. I doubt that Andrew with his shaky grasp both of the English language and reality could "train" a working stage magician and actually bright fellow on how to do a better quiz than he does now. "Nation finals" ? Not "National Finals"? I've taught many an ESL student who knew better than that.
Let the quizmaster and quiz player beware; this is how the "NTA"/ Andrew Weilgus, with no legal right to even the name quizzo and as a relative latecomer to the quiz biz, does business. A "no-compete" for quizzo? Seriously?! That's like having a no-compete for darts or pool... or beer.
Incidentally I recently re-cleaned up the Wikipedia entry for Quizzo, which frequently morphs into a semi-literate, inappropriate series of ads for various quizzes in the rules section if we let it. I keep having to repost a link at the bottom of the entry in the more appropriate Links section to this site, which is the only link serially removed, likely by Andrew, who has done so in the past. This fucktard is clearly so insecure in his ability to do this job that he needs to attempt to ham-fistedly censor and threaten anyone else doing it within 100 miles.
Keep in mind that any rescheduled World Series games owing to weather or what have you can alter this at any time. Currently the Phillies are scheduled to beat the Yankees on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Obviously at the moment the Phinest would be those hard-hitting Phillies. Aside from this, my (try to follow the social chain here...) fiancee's best friend's sister, who is from here and married a guy in Northern Ireland, has opened Philly's Phinest sandwich shop in Omagh, Northern Ireland.
Keep in mind that any rescheduled games owing to weather or what have you can alter this at any time.
Dependent upon how well the Phils do, what time MLB in its infinite wisdom schedules Phillies games to the maximum inconvenience of Phillies fans, and the weather, the quizzes will or won't happen.
And this clown wins the fuckin' Nobel Peace Prize?
After you give these things to Henry Kissinger, Rabin and Arafat, Woordow Wilson and Teddy "Shoot the Swarthy Spaniard in the Gut" Roosevelt, parody lies bleeding.
