[Note: a flying disc, preferably not Whammo, is necessary for Bonus #7]

[Also note: this is not your everyday packet…please read through to be ready for some surprises]

1. The creators of South Park weren’t kidding, although they got the cities incorrect, and one of them is a single word while the other has a space, and sadly, one of them folded from their league in 1996. It must have been that extra ten yards. For ten points, give the name of the current Saskatchewan and former Ottawa Canadian Football League teams, which apparently haven’t signed Teddy Roosevelt up for action yet.

Answer: Roughriders

2. Jim Breuer plays the annoying older-brother, Glen, who often interrupts Azreal and Circe’s show. It is a typical high-school production, with the two hosts and any guests pretending to be scary, although they can’t escape their goody-two-shoes past, including Sarah Michelle Geller’s “talent” show performance of Ace of Base’s “The Sign”. For ten points, name this Saturday Night Live skit, pseudo-broadcast on Sunshine State Cable Access, Channel 33.

Answer: Goth Talk

3. “Always one more…you’re never satisfied. It’s never one-for-all with you, it’s only one-for-me” makes up part of the chorus that Sammy Hagar sings on this track from his first album with Van Halen. The lyrics fit the title, as the song, the title-track, is a 4-digit number which is pronounced correctly as two numbers, one of which is 2% bigger than the other. For ten points, name the Van Halen album which features “Dreams” and “Love Walks In”, which mathies will recognize as 206 times 25.

Answer: 5150

4. They are found at call number 808.8 in the Maricopa County Library. My apologies to Mr. Hillegass, but I was so lazy that I wouldn’t even read the sections on themes and motifs, didn’t even glance at the section with extra questions, and even skimmed the commentary sections of these “Keys to the Classics”. For ten points, name this high school lifesaver, which has little to do with messers Huxtable and Claven, save the name.

Answer: Cliff’s Notes

5. Doris has worked at the diner since she was seventeen, and wants to see Paris before she dies. Debbie and Fred are supposed to be getting married, but Debbie is having second thoughts. Bill has been a waiter since he left Penn State three years ago, paints toy soldiers, and is gay. Gus wishes he would have stayed in the Navy, while Nancy works in a dress shop and makes noises like a chipmunk when she gets really excited. And Phil Connors is stuck with them in Punxsutawney in, for ten points, what Andie McDowell and Bill Murray movie with a rodent in the title?

Answer: Groundhog Day (try not to accept “Groundhog’s Day”…it’s just not the title)

6. He was traded from the Chicago Blackhawks for Stephane Beauregard, a player who is currently languishing in the minor leagues, although he had a brief stint with Washington this past year. Beauregard’s career is rather unimpressive: no Vezina trophies, no Hart trophies, no gold medals…heck, he didn’t even get to ring the bell at the stock market this past year. For ten points, name the player the Buffalo Sabres received for Stephane Beauregard, in a trade reminiscent of Manhattan Island for 24 bucks worth of beads.

Answer: Dominik Hasek

7. Dr. Pinsky is a busy man. In addition to being a Board Certified internist and addictionalogist, he is the father of triplets and maintains a California-based medical practice. Oh, and he co-hosts a wildly popular radio call-in show, now broadcast on television as well. For ten points, name this program, which Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky host.

Answer: Loveline

8. This actor is all over the place. In a famous role, he betrayed his friend, and then helped rescue him, all while going after his friend’s girl! The guy must have two faces, although he was replaced by Tommy Lee Jones for *that* particular role. Without his psychic friends, he’d be out of luck. It sure is a good thing that Colt 45 works every time for him. For ten points, name this guy who played a space pirate from the Star Wars Trilogy.

Answer: Billy Dee Williams

9. Sorry, Phil Knight, but they most certainly CAN’T. Collect royalties, that is. That’s because they didn’t ask permission to use an Andrew Loog Oldham sample…and because the Stones have a crafty lawyer. Still, hundreds of millions of worldwide viewers on January 25th of this past year couldn’t hurt, royalties or not. For ten points, name this band, whose most famous song was used by Nike in their Super Bowl commercial that proclaimed “I Can”.

Answer: The Verve (prompt on “Bittersweet Symphony”)

10. Her name’s Gidget, and she’s quite the spokeswoman. She’s not very tall, speaks with a raspy male voice, and is cute…if you’re into that sort of thing. And lately, she’s been battling Godzilla with her stick-and-box trap. For ten points, name Gidget’s employers, who have hired the canine to stump for their newest creation, the Gordita.

Answer: Taco Bell (prompt on Gordita, and don’t accept PepsiCo, or whoever owns Taco Bell, on general principle)

11. An excommunicated member of the Order of St. Dumas, this young man used to wield a flaming sword and spout such quotable lines as "Know that men call you 'liar'!" I wouldn't like to meet this guy in a dark alley, especially after the way he filled in for Bruce Wayne. For 10 points, name the current bearer of the mantle of Azrael.

Answer: John Paul Valley (prompt on Azreal)

12. In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. This leads into, for ten points, what long-running NBC crime and punishment drama, which has had about as many cast changes as your average convenience store over the past eight years?

Answer: Law & Order

13. Dudley Stokes, Devon Harris, Michael White, and Samuel Clayton spent a few weeks in 1987, running on a flat paved area on an army base, in hopes of leaving Kingston for their ultimate goal, a trip to Calgary in 1988 and a chance at international glory. For ten points, name the team that was comprised of these four men, the story of which is chronicled in the John Candy film “Cool Runnings”.

Answer: Jamaican Bobsled team

14. Never before has such a sick blend of seemingly incompatible ingredients caused such a cult following; Yeast extract, salt, mineral salt, malt extract, natural coloring, vegetable extract, and three B-complex additives. Think it’s disgusting? Don’t tell that to any Australians. For ten points, name this Kraft-brand “food”, which is to Australia as peanut butter is the U.S., and which is the sandwich mentioned in Men at Work’s “Down Under”.

Answer: Vegemite

15. I’m no preacher man, but I know the actual translation’s quite a bit shorter: “I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful punishments. Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay my vengeance on them”. Also, according to the Old Testament, immediately following this reading, nobody pops a cap in anyone. For ten points, name this favorite passage of Jules Winfield, a protagonist in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

Answer: Ezekiel 25:17

16. One thing’s fur sure: Les Claypool either couldn’t decide or isn’t telling who the real owner is. This is because, in one of his songs, he pronounces the owner’s name like that of Naomi’s daughter and Ashley’s sister, while in the title, he spells it like the former Ms. Horowitz. For ten points, name the featured pachyderm, who may actually be a porcupine, and who “smells like seven layers”, according to the song.

Answer: Winona’s Big Brown Beaver (Note: if “South Park theme” (or something relating to it) is answered before the *, “power” points are given, or rather taken away (total of -10), with the player sternly instructed that Les Claypool, one of the world’s premier bass players, is more than a theme-song performer) :-)

17. He allegedly turned down a midwestern university’s attempt at recruiting him because they added the letter “P” to the front of his name. This offended him more than you know. He settled on a Big Ten school, which made a Citrus Bowl appearance after the 1997 season, in which he did not appear. This is because he had taken a suit from an agent, making him ineligible for college football. So, he went pro, picked #5 in the draft. For ten points, name this former Penn State running-back, a Chicago Bears draft pick.

Answer: Curtis Enis

18. He’s gone from one of the few people who could play the video game Tempest on-the-job to a prophet, as a few years back, he told his agent he wanted to act in a cop drama. And now? He gets to drop trow for money on ABC. For ten points, name this man who, no matter how many Lonesome Dove episodes he was in, will always be remembered for Silver Spoons, and who will be seeing Bobby Simone’s French-Portuguese ass out the door on NYPD Blue in the upcoming season.

Answer: Rick(y) Schroeder

19. He was expelled from MIT, not for posing in Playgirl, as the man who played him did, but for streaking. Thankfully, with his invention, he could jump back in time and put some clothes on, which technically would mean he wouldn't have been expelled and wouldn't have his Quantum Accelerator in the first place. Oh boy. For ten points, name this character, played by Scott Bakula, whom, with Al and Ziggy's help, tried to change the past on Quantum Leap.

Answer: Dr. Sam Beckett

20. This Boston-area band can’t seem to shake its hometown sound. But none of the other Boston bands ever got their song played at the end of Melrose Place. Kay Hanley, the band’s only female, is on the lead vocals for most of the songs, save the speed-reading part from their biggest hit. And can you blame her? [say next part in quotes VERY fast] “The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky above could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the...”. For ten points, name the band, most noted for their biggest album “Aurora Gory Alice”, and their poppy hit “Here and Now”.

Answer: Letters to Cleo

21. It might have been cool at the time, but seeing Cass Elliott guest-star on any cartoon series these days makes me cringe. To think Hanna & Barbara might have even had to use Casey Kasem’s immense pull to bring her in. For ten points, name this cartoon series, whose psychedelic motifs are scary enough, with or without Big Mama Cass.

Answer: Scooby Doo

22. In 1997, this baseball player, who patrols the outfield of the Kingdome, became the first player in 27 years to hit 40 home runs in three consecutive years, much to Mr. Costanza’s chagrin. And whom did the Yankees get? Ken Phelps? For ten points, name this bald outfielder nicknamed “Bone”, whose cannon for an arm and super-charged bat have made him extremely popular, although he spent two months on the DL earlier this year because of his hard-nosed play.

Answer: Jay Buhner
