Thursday night at the Stranger-sponsored Gong Show, we were treated to two hours of the most extraordinary and strange talent our freaky town had to offer. "They come out at night!" exclaimed one of the delighted judges.

One of our favorite moments: when Slog commenter Fnarf got up to perform his special talented: sticking as many quarters as he could into his nose. The final number was 14. He proclaimed it a world record, and though we haven't verified that, it was pretty impressive (in a horrifying way).
