DO WE OWE YOU A PRIZE?
I have a whole assload of prizes on my desk at work that need to sent out. It’s really kind of shameful how out of hand I let this prize situation become.
If you’ve won Trivia Tuesday and have not received your prize, send us a message with you address and what prize you’re supposed to be getting so you can reap the rewards of your superior knowledge.

Don’t blame me. Blame the random nature of the universe. teeripp won just a scant two weeks ago, but he was one of three people to rock a 100% on this week’s trivia and chosen was the champion via the always unbiased Random.org.
Let’s get down to business: the answers. I really wanted to throw DK Jr. Math in here but was told that no one knew that game.

OKAY. SO.
There was a little bit of confusion. So, we’re gonna have a little redo, here. A Mulligan, if you will. If you answered already, re-answer since question one has changed.
Answers go here.
1. What do the blue countries have in common?
[Embiggen]
2. These are the only countries that host an certain kind of competition annually. What is it?
3. And what about the red states?...
REDO
There were a lot of questions regarding one of the maps. So instead of trying to drop hints, we’re just going to do a redo and replace question one. New trivia up soon.
If you already answered, answer again.

It's All In the Eyes
Today have a super creepy task for you: Identify these famous people just by looking deep into their eyes. Name as many as you can. Answers go here.
It was slightly creepy compiling pics this week - some people have eyes that just aren’t meant to be looked directly at. SHUDDER.
For the prize this week, hows about a nice Yahtzee Game Pen (I have no idea what it is,...

A four-way tie! The winner, after a scientific randomization, is slackmo! Here are the answers:
The theme, that I believe was named by everyone who answered, should be evident from each of the titles: ANIMALS! Mammals, reptiles, insects, fish, Robin Williams…Almost every base covered.
Bravo to the four people who got 8 correct out of 9, and named the theme…But congratulations...

Before And After: We Read Stuff
At least one portion of today’s Before & Afters will contain some literary reference - a book, an author, a genre, a…something else that has to do with literature.
A psychedelic, transcendental jam band at a New England boarding school?
A British poet with a penchant for $1,000/hr hookers?
The Beatles first hit about artificial pets?

Celebrity Sound Bytes
I am a self-proclaimed expert at identifying celebrity voice work for commercials. So I was going to test your knowledge of those but it’s too easy to cheat. So I spent my entire morning not doing my work and searching for clips of celebrities talking. We have ten. Name as many as you can.
Now, since these clips are longer than the 1 second blips you get for Name That Tune, making a long...

From a few all-correcties this week, a coin-toss has revealed the winner to be ekbewildered! I’m not even sure how the DVD covers got shredded in the first place, but thanks for bailing us out of this jam, ekbewildered. We owe you one*.
The full covers:

Hollywood Squares: More DVD Covers
We did it again…We accidentally put some of our DVD covers in a paper shredder. Could you be a dear and help us remember the titles so we can put them back on the shelf correctly alphabetically? If they’re not properly categorized, I get a twitch.
This week’s prize is a copy of the movie Event Horizon on DVD!
Event Horizon was directed by someone with “Paul”...

We kicked your asses this week! No perfect responses and not one person guessed the first “I”. As fate would have it, Abbyjean, last weeks winner, recognized 10 out of 12 of the logos and is the outright winner. Which is cool because I don’t have to make another graphic. Just reuse that one. Excellent.
Full logos are below. I do want to mention one thing: Multiple people...

Raga Mans
Ten RAGA MANS, I mean, ANAGRAMS can be found below. The answer to each clue is an anagram of one word in the clue. So like, if I said “People groan when I sit down to play this.” you would say Organ (groan). Get it? Good. Answer.
For heartburn these are a must.
I’m sated after eating too many of these.
For me, this type measure is just fine.

Find the Common Thread
There are sets of things here. And for each set, tell us the common thread. Be specific, but not assholishly specific. Don’t say “they are all actors” (too vague), but don’t go too far and say “actors with 3 vowels in their first name.” -_-
Just to be clear here, we are looking for THREE answers. We were gonna have the common threads have their OWN common...

Maps, Maps, Maps Map-Map-Maps. Everybody.
Queen Victoria and her love for all things cartographical has supplied us with today’s geography bee.
Three maps. What do the selected countries/cities have in common? To be clear - there is a common factor for EACH MAP. Therefore you shall supply three answers (or as many as you can out of the three). Don’t be a smart ass and say “They all have countries on them”, because...
