Missouri-Rolla, October , 2002

Packet #10

Questions by UTC (Charlie Steinhice, Sarah Pross, John Kilby, Nikki Poarch, and Jonathan Wilson) and Stephen Taylor

Toss-ups

1. A camp in Arizona for HIV-positive children shares its two-word name not only with a restaurant in EuroDisney’s Adventureland, but also with the catamaran where former NBA center Bison Dele and two others met their deaths while sailing off Tahiti. No worries, indeed. For ten points, give this phrase, title of one of 3 Oscar-nominated songs from The Lion King, which in loose translation from Swahili means “no worries.”

_Hakuna Matata_

2. Beginning in 1958 he played for Negro League teams in Birmingham and Memphis before tryouts with the expansion Angels and Mets, where he got a spring training double off Warren Spahn. On bus rides in the minors, he sang and played a guitar he’d bought at Sears as a teenager. A few years later, he cut a two-song demo tape in Nashville which wound up in the hands of Chet Atkins; one of those songs became his first hit, “The Snakes Crawl at Night.” Other hits include “Is Anybody Going to San Antone?”, “Burgers and Fries,” “Crystal Chandeliers,” and “Kiss an Angel Good Morning.” For ten points, name this singer, country’s preeminent African-American artist.

Charley _Pride_

3. Both Hubert de Givenchy and Edith Head got costume design credits for this film, one of the few by Blake Edwards that included neither Julie Andrews nor Peter Sellers. This movie’s star character made her money going out on dates (and no, she was not a prostitute). A naïve woman who carries messages to and from Sing Sing, she falls in love with an aspiring writer. For ten points, name this film adaptation of a Truman Capote novel, starring Audrey Hepburn.

_Breakfast at Tiffany’s_

4. It bears the warning label “May cause abdominal distension – consult a physician.” It is 80,000 times more effective than its typical competitor, but it was superseded by an improved version with the equivalent of 2.5 million bowl’s worth of fiber. For ten points, name this cereal, featured in a pyramid atop which sat Phil Hartman in a classic Saturday Night Live commercial.

_Colon Blow_ (be lenient and accept “Super Colon Blow” before “improved version”)

5. In 1992 they passed up Troy Vincent, Chester McGlockton, and Alonzo Spellman to take David Klingler in the first round.  In 1994, with the #1 overall pick, instead of Marshall Faulk, they opted for a defensive lineman -- and it wasn't Bryant Young or Sam Adams, it was Dan "Big Daddy" Wilkinson.  With the overall #1 again in 1995, instead of Tony Boselli, Warren Sapp, or Steve McNair, they went with the fragile Ki-Jana Carter. And perhaps the worst was 1999, when they passed up Edgerrin James, Ricky Williams, Torry Holt, David Boston, Daunte Culpeper, and Jevon Kearse to select Akili Smith. For ten points, name this hapless NFL franchise, off to their 6th 0-4 start in the last 12 seasons.

Cincinnati Bengals (accept either part; accept and applaud if they answer “Bungles”)

6. She now gets to deal with an abrasive coworker, Elaine Duchamps (played by Lorraine Toussaint.) She still has the support of Woody, her detective friend. But she’s still a long way from Boston in L.A., where she’s come in hopes of finding the person who murdered her mother. For ten points, name this forensics expert, played by Jill Hennessy in an NBC series.

_Jordan_ or Jordan _Cavanagh_

7. Their record label was called Some Bizarre, and they looked it, to be sure – David Ball looked like a bouncer hired to protect the diminutive, effeminate, bondage-gear-clad Marc Almond. In retrospect critics praise their songwriting, which yielded such songs as “Bedsitter,” “Torch,” “where the Heart Is, and “Say Hello Wave Goodbye.” But they’d be forgotten save for their cover of a minor hit song for Gloria Jones. For ten points, name the British duo who drilled a hole in our brains with their 1981 version of “Tainted Love.”

_Soft Cell_

8. Rob McGregor in a TV series based on “The Man from Snowy River.” Errol Flynn in Flynn. Major Mark Biggs in Rules of Engagement. Adam Whiteley (AKA Felicia Jollygoodfellow) in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. And Detective Lieutenant Edmund Exley in L.A. Confidential. For ten points, name the actor who played all these characters, as well as Leonard Shelby in Memento.

Guy _Pearce_

9. It first drew popular notice as the source of the epigraphs for the novels Winter Moon, Sole Survivor, Mr. Murder, The Bad Place, and several others by a popular author. Many fans were disappointed to find out it was purely a literary convention, but after years of requests, last year said author published a book of his poetry, including those epigrams, under this title. For ten points, name this first and probably last book of poetry by Dean Koontz.

The _Book of Counted Sorrows_

10. Although she’d played in a few events from 1987-89, the WPVA named her Rookie of the Year in 1991. She was WPVA MVP in 1995 and 1996 despite changing between partners Nancy Reno, Karolyn Kirby, and Lisa Arce. She and Reno were the U.S.’s top Olympic qualifiers in beach volleyball in 1996 but finished a disappointing 5th. For a while in 1999 she teamed with Gabrielle Reece, but it was with Misty May that she placed 5th (again) in the 2000 Olympics. FTP name this athlete, the all-time leading money winner in U.S. women’s volleyball.

Holly _McPeak_

11. Taking their band name from a surname of Muhammad, the founders of this group met as children when their parents took them to protests against American military bases. In 1997 they released their first single “Switch Stance,” and opened for Prodigy and the Fugees the same year. Recently, they have become the first band to write and record a rap song completely in Icelandic. FTP, name this band whose latest album Jinx contains the single “Stick ‘Em Up.”

_Quarashi_

12. There’s a little witch in every woman. Gillian uses hers to get men; Sally ignores hers to keep her family. Sally and Gillian’s aunts never tried to deny theirs. For ten points, name this 1998 Warner Brothers film starring Aidan Quinn, Stockard Channing, Diane Wiest, Sandra Bullock, and Nicole Kidman.

_Practical Magic_

13. Although they made the playoffs 15 times, they made their last appearance in the NBA Finals in 1954-55, defeating the Pistons for their only championship. Notable figures included owner Danny Biasone, who introduced the shot clock; Hall of Fame coaches Al Cervi and Alex Hannum; and Hall of Fame players Hal Greer and Dolph Schayes, both of whom were with the team in 1963 when it was sold to become the Philadelphia 76ers. For ten points, name this early NBA franchise.

_Syracuse Nationals_

14. Monty Bane is the “shivering man.” Hefty veteran Conchata Ferrell plays Martha, and Armand Assante is Mr. Smooth. And while an IRS agent may seem to be an unlikely hero, that’s the occupation of Jim Prufrock, played by Derek Cecil. For ten points, name this series, created by Sean Bailey and Ben Affleck, which promises that even cancellation would not stop its promised million-dollar payout after the 13th episode.

_Push, Nevada_

15. It was the title track of a 1986 album that also featured the songs “Fast, Fierce and Funny,” “Back and Forth, “Candy,” and “She’s Mine.” It took a risk by insulting “DJ’s who think you’re fly,” adding, “If there's music we can use it, we're free to dance / We don't have the time for psychological romance.” But its signature line was “Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care.” For ten points, name this classic dance hit in which Cameo answered their own question, “What’s the word?”

_Word Up_

16. It was founded in 1905; a few years later founder Jessie Williams moved it to an l1-acre site out of town. By the time Edna Milton bought it in the early ‘50’s, it was widely known by a nickname acquired during the Depression by letting customers pay for services in farm goods. It flourished under the protection of Sheriff T.J. Flournoy until 1973, when Houston consumer affairs reporter Marvin Zindler’s week-long exposé forced actions to close it. For ten points, name this commercial establishment, immortalized in the ZZ Top song “La Grange” and a Tony-winning 1978 Broadway musical.

the _Chicken Ranch_, or the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

17. For some reason, reruns of this show can now be seen on the Hallmark Channel. In the first season, it featured a larger group of girls including Nancy, Sue Ann, and Molly (played by a young Molly Ringwald). Subsequent seasons narrowed the focus to four girls at Eastland and their mentor, Mrs. Garrett. Viewers watched as Natalie, Jo, Blair, and Tootie battled all the worst things that can happen to a schoolgirl. For ten points, name this spin-off of Diff’rent Strokes that aired from 1979 to 1988.

The _Facts of Life_

18. It was only the 2nd feature film directed by the little-known E. Elias Merhige. Supporting players include English transvestite comedian Eddie Izzard as Gustav von Wangenheim and Cary Elwes as Fritz Arno Wagner. While the nominal star was John Malkovich as legendary director F.W. Murnau, more acclaim went to the portrayal of Max Schreck. FTP name this 2000 film, centered on the making of the silent classic Nosferatu, which earned a Best Supporting Oscar nomination for Willem Dafoe.

_Shadow of the Vampire_

19. When you first arrive there, you work for Asuka, and later for her brother Kenji, who owns a casino. You meet and later work for a corrupt cop in a park bathroom.

For ten points, name the second island in Grand Theft Auto III.

_Staunton Island_

20. He’s not a Bell, a Boone, or even a Hairston, but he’s also the grandson of a fellow major leaguer, Bert Griffith. He’s not a Finley, but this summer divorce proceedings began with his wife, actress Michelle Johnson, whom you may remember as the teenager Michael Caine shagged in Blame It on Rio. Thanks to the Cardinals, this chrome-domed third baseman is not going to get a chance to win a second straight World Series ring. For ten points, name this slugger, whose best seasons were with the Giants but who just finished his fifth season with the Diamondbacks.

_Matt Williams_ Prompt on Williams [do you have any idea how many major leaguers are named Williams?]

21. It was first used in its current context on September 19, 1982 by Scott Fahlman, an IBM researcher in the field of artificial intelligence. This innovation has since inspired keyboard users to create many other “emoticons.” For ten points, name this sideways symbol, made up of a colon, hyphen, and a right parenthesis that means “I'm only joking.”
