Questions mostly by Clint Higginbotham, with James Schroeder, Chuck Pearson, & your genial quizmaster

1. This company’s mission statement is “Passionately devoted to moving you- easily, efficiently, intelligently, simply.” Its advertising tagline? “Simply moving.” Its research and development aims? “Creating versatile, agile, short-range devices that utilize the patented dynamic stabilization technology and advanced alternative-power systems.” Its main product has never been the most successful – when tendency to tip back and throw off the rider forced a recall, only 23,500 had to be called in. But it's famous because of the publicity blitz that surrounded its development, once code-named “Ginger.” FTP, what company produces Dean Kamen's “personal transporter” invention?

Answer: Segway

2. His first name is Hector. While he never visited Captain Matthew Webb, he did visit Captain Clift upon his successful swim of the English Channel, proclaiming him to be from Dover - because "haven't you heard of the white Clifts of Dover?" He also visited Robin Hood, Johann Gutenberg, Lucrezia Borgia, Ludwig van Beethoven, Christopher Columbus, Florence Nightingale, General George Armstrong Custer, and William Tell - after which he proclaimed Tell's bad eyesight to be the prototypical eye disorder Television.

FTP, who is this glasses-and-bow-tie wearing dog, a regular feature on Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show?

Answer: Mr. Peabody

3.  (Sh/CS) He’s scheduled for a nine-week stint on Broadway this fall as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, following prior work for Disney as the singing voice of Captain Shang in Mulan. His disastrous Broadway debut was a 1982 revival of George M. Cohan’s Little Johnny Jones that closed after one night, but he did tour successfully in the title role of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.  He resurfaced in 1989 with the hit single “Soldier of Love”, years after his first US number one hit, a 1971 cover of “Go Away Little Girl,” and his first UK number one, “Puppy Love.” FTP name this American entertainer, most famous for his duets with sister Marie? 

Answer: Donny Osmond 

4. Jonathan Buckert and Ellen Morrison were champions of this sport's televised high school tournament - played on March 25th, but broadcast on April 22nd. The tournament was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, concurrently with the branded professional "world championship" - that was won by Doug Kent, who defeated Chris Barnes in the final. If you're still listening to this tossup, then you agree that this is a sport woefully lacking in star power - not that the likes of Mark Roth, Earl Anthony, Walter Ray Williams, Jr., and Parker Bohn III were ever superstars. FTP, what is this sport, whose major professional competitions are found on the Denny's PBA Tour?

Answer: Bowling (accept "Denny's All-American High School Championship" on early buzz, and mock the player's television watching habits)

5.  She claims that the name of her band, The AM Project, is derived from her initials, although it doesn't match her full legal name.  Her performance at age nine in When a Man Loves a Woman was met with critical praise, which quickly launched her to starring roles opposite a seal and Whoopi Goldberg in, respectively, Andre and Corrina, Corrina.  FTP, name this actress who had no major feature film work between her role in 1995's Waterworld and 2004's Napoleon Dynamite, where she portrays the college-bound Deb? 

Answer: Tina Majorino 

 

6. His lyrical observations from his breakthrough album include "Put some Henny up in your cup, your problems will start to drown/But soon as your buzz leaves, then problems come back around" from the track "Rain" and "Police think they can see me lean/I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen/When you see me ride by they can see the glean/And my shine on the deck and the TV screen" from his breakthrough hit. Born Hakeem Seriki, this Houston rapper recorded collaborations with Paul Wall that were released independently as Get Ya Mind Correct in 2002 and Controversy Sells in 2005, but the major-label release The Sound Of Revenge is the one that went platinum. FTP, what self-proclaimed "King Koopa" hit it big with Krayzie Bone by complaining about the police were trying to catch him "ridin' dirty"?

Answer: Chamillionaire

7. The Creative Cooking School of Las Vegas offers six differing historical theories on the origin of this product. A 2006 NPR report celebrated its 250th birthday, accepting the theory that it originated in a port on the island of Minorca, as part of the Duc de Richelieu’s victory feast after he captured it from the British in 1756. Others insist that its name derives from the old French word for egg yolk, logical since it can be simply made by whisking egg yolk while adding vegetable oil slowly, perhaps with a bit of mustard or lemon juice added to aid in the mixing. However, most people buy, FTP, what edible emulsion first prepared commercially in the U.S. at the New York deli of Richard Hellman?

Answer: Mayonnaise

8.  In an episode of The Simpsons, Homer is confronted by a group of college students who claim to have memorized the whole movie, though they only spout one of the more cliche lines.  Kitana’s animality in the Mortal Kombat series is a clear reference to it, and the Black Templars from Warhammer 40,000 have access to a weapon which must be accompanied by very specific, arduously long prayer before using to ensure its accuracy.  FTP, name this film, responsible for numerous pop culture references ranging from Bond’s comment to Q, “she only has a flesh wound,” in Die Another Day, and Warcraft III’s knights click-response, “I never say Ni!” 

Answer: Monty Python and the Holy Grail 

 

9. (CS) This was the given first name of early NASCAR pioneer 'Speedy' Thompson and former NBA standout 'Butch' Lee, as well as Lee’s coach at Marquette. One with the surname Williams won the 1990 Butkus Award while playing for Colorado and went on to win two Super Bowl rings on the Broncos’ defense. It’s what the “A” stands for in A.G. Spaulding, but there seem to be very few currently active athletes with this name other than Saints middle linebacker Fincher. These men all share, FTP, what given name whose low profile in sports is countered by one of Hollywood's most famous profiles, that of a director named Hitchcock?

Answer: Alfred [grudgingly prompt on “Al” if it’s said after “Marquette” but before “Spaulding”]

10.  A 2005 miniseries reveals him to be a direct descendant of a notorious Russian Orthodox priest, although this may just be a retcon to account for his name.  His brother, thought dead from a rocket accident, was in fact alive, and had become a sort of messiah for the Morlocks and a nemesis of the X-Men.  In the alternate Ultimate universe, he is portrayed as homosexual and has a short-lived relationship with the Canadian mutant Northstar, which contrasts with his traditional relationship with Kitty Pryde, Meggan, and Rogue to name a few.  FTP, this describes which mutant, who posses the ability to transform his entire body into a malleable but almost infinitely resilient “organic steel?”  

Answer: Colossus 

11. He originally appears as an 8th-grader in a series chronicling the class of Carrie Bliss; as early as the second episode of that series, we see a note intercepted by Miss Bliss that would serve as the first evidence of the unrequited crush on Lisa that would form a large part of his character. When "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" was canceled in 1989, he, Lisa, and two other original characters were recycled onto its more successful successor, and he even survived its biggest overhaul, returning after only a year in college to to Bayside as Mr. Belding's assistant. FTP, what is the nickname of Zack's trusty sidekick Samuel Powers, Dustin Diamond's gawky nerd from Saved By The Bell?

Answer: Screech (accept "Samuel Powers" on early buzz, but glare at them)

12. Created by Brendan Eich of Netscape, it’s now licensed by Sun Microsystems, and doesn’t bear much resemblance to its namesake language.  Both use syntax derived from C, but this one bears much more in common with the Self language.  Most known for its use in web-based applications, one of the most common examples of its usage is opening pop ups with control over the size and position of the new window, as well as hiding or showing the menus and toolbars.  FTP, what programming language, originally referred to as Mocha, is not to be confused with the Java programming language? 

Answer: JavaScript 

13.  Starting his acting career at age 10 with 1984's Billions for Boris, he is often compared to Lost in Space’s Bill Mumy due to their striking physical similarities.  His earliest notable movie roles include Woody Allen’s Radio Days and alongside Alyson Hannigan in My Stepmother is an Alien.  An avid toy collector, he has written for the magazine Toyfare and is noted for his collection of M.A.S.K. figurines.  Although he was thirty at the time, his boyish appearance allowed him to play the teenage Mitch Miller on That 70’s Show.  FTP, name this actor, currently known for his show Robot Chicken and his roles in all three Austin Powers movies as Scott Evil. 

Answer: Seth Green 

14. As of this writing, a decision has not yet been reached about its creators, although final testimony was heard in the first week of 2007, the culmination of a law suit filed in 1994 by David Wall against Scott Abbot and Chris Haney, the credited creators.  Its spinoffs included TV versions hosted by Rory McGrath in the U.K. and Wink Martindale in the U.S. The most recent incarnations are “Totally Onscreen” DVD versions, a long way from the versions manufactured in part by Northern Plastics of Elroy, Wisconsin.  FTP what board game, owned currently by Hasbro under the Parker Brothers name, has six colored pie pieces each representing a different category of questions? 

Answer: Trivial Pursuit 

15. (Sh/CS) Between 1952, when the band name changed from the Saddlemen to reflect their move away from country, and the leader’s death in 1981, this band had included more than 100 members.  When shady management left them with huge tax liens, they moved to Mexico and found success there with “Florida Twist” and their cover of “Land of a Thousand Dances.”  They peaked in popularity in the US in the mid-50’s with songs like “See You Later, Alligator,” and “Shake, Rattle and Roll.”  FTP, name this band, ultimately squared with the IRS thanks to a decade of royalties from the song “Rock Around the Clock.” 

Answer: Bill Haley & His (or The) Comets, both responses required – prompt as needed

16. The 3rd edition saw the addition of Reflex, Fortitude, and Will saves, Feats, and a reversal of the armor class system.  Edition 3.5 was launched in 2003 to continuing success, despite being over 30 years old and seeing numerous controversies about suicide and witchcraft.  Vin Diesel is an avid player, and may even have one of his favorite characters tattooed on his arm, a Drow witch-hunter.  FTP, name this game, in which the Dungeon Master doesn't have levels. 

Answer: Dungeons and Dragons, D&D 

17. The basement of their office building is filled with cockroaches, but that doesn't stop one of their eight managers from shoving Milton the collator and his desk down there.  Simultaneously, three disgruntled employees decide to infect the accounting system with a virus that shaves the fraction of a cent that's left over after interest equations and put them into a private bank account.  Corporate accounting takes notice when the program inadvertently saps $305,326.13, but fortunately for the thieving employees, Milton finally snaps and burns the building down.  This describes, FTP, which company with employees like Milton Waddams, Peter Gibbons, and Bill Lumbergh that is often in direct competition with the similarly-named Intertrode? 

Answer: Initech 

18. The 1988 return of its football program contributes to this school's 41 varsity sports, one of the largest programs in NCAA athletics. That team competes in the New England Football Conference, and has been coached by Dwight Smith ever since its revival after an 88-year hiatus. It may be surprising that he's kept his job, with only 5 winning seasons in 19, but the Beavers have certain academic constraints. FTP, name this school whose most famous football moment is likely a certain balloon that appeared in a hack of the 1982 Harvard-Yale game.

Answer: Massachusetts Institute of Technology

19. In The Terminal, Officer Torres silently agrees to marry Enrique with one of these.  According to its creator, it's based on the Hebrew letter Shin as it is used in the Priestly Blessing.  Hiro Nakamura from Heroes frequently utilizes one, and Stephen Colbert apparently thinks it's a gang sign.  It's often preceded by a phrase, “Peace and long life,” that is turned around once the gesture is given.  Now allegedly facilitated by the use of Aleve, FTP, what nearly ubiquitous gesture was created by Leonard Nimoy for the first episode of the second season of Star Trek? 

Answer: Vulcan Salute; accept equivalents, or gesture itself (V-shaped gap between middle & ring finger)

20.  In this video, we see bowling, mayonnaise, a Napoleon Dynamite T-shirt, a Vulcan Salute, Trivial Pursuit, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, X-Men comics, Seth Green and his toy collection, Kirk and Picard, Mr. Peabody and Screech on Alfred’s MySpace page, Donny Osmond, am I still going?  I guess I should just say, FTP, name the song inspired by Chamillionaire where Alfred extols the difficulties of fitting in when you’re just too… 

Answer: White and Nerdy 

21.  Its most commonly used in the transmission of television signals and modern mobile phones, but is slowly being beaten out by digital signals.   The primary advantage is its relatively short wavelength, which is useful in reducing the size of both receiving and transmitting equipment, but it benefits less from attenuation than the lower bands, which therefore reduces the clarity of the signal over long distances.  The first television station to operate on this frequency was KC2XAK of Bridgeport, Connecticut, but the most famous may be Channel 62 owned by George Newman.  FTP, this describes what electromagnetic frequency with a range from from 300 MHz to 3 GHz? 

Answer: UHF 

22. The 1965 model of this automobile sold over one million units, the current record for any car in the United States.  Cheech Marin drove a 1964 one in Up in Smoke, and provided the voice of a fictional car based on a 1959 lowrider model in Cars.  A red one was featured in 1998’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but is often confused for a Capri.  This describes, FTP, which car, manufactured by GM for Chevrolet, that is also featured on the cover Weird Al Yankovic’s Straight Outta Lynwood?

Answer: Chevrolet Impala 

23. Alumni include Chris Thorburn  and Geoff Platt, both of whom went on to play in the NHL.  One of three US teams to play in the Ontario Hockey league, their mascot is a bald eagle named “Sammy Spirit,” but that's not the one you know.  They held a poll on their website during the 2006-2007 season that allowed fans to choose the name of their secondary mascot for the season, subsequently naming it “Steagle Cobeagle the Eagle.” FTP, name the team that won Stephen Colbert's bet with the mayor of Oshawa, Ontario to make March 20, the mayor's birthday, the official Stephen Colbert Day in Oshawa.
