And so the second week of Trivia Tuesday comes to a close. 27 minds stepped up to plate, with only 11 accurately besting the Before and After challenge.
- A Macedonian conqueror who threw great parties in the 1920’s? Alexander the Great Gatsby
- Anything that can go wrong will - and it will be a Gerard Butler movie. Murphy’s Law Abiding Citizen
- A conversation with a nocturnal creature in a band spending saturday and sunday with a dead guy? Interview with a Vampire Weekend at Burnie’s
Fate (and what I mean here is random.org) would have it that Emily aka INTERROBANGIN would emerge victorious. No surprises there. It’s a well known fact that she was born in a pool of gasoline on a piece of rusty scrap metal. I’ve seen INTERROBANGIN jump through barbed wire into a vat of hot tar. She’s indestructable. She’s also, you know, interrobanging, so she’s constantly questioning life with great excitement and enthusiasm which, I think, makes for a excellent Trivia Tuesday day victor.
EMILY? Which substandard prize would you like? The Magic cards, sure to impress any potential suitors, or the Snapple lip balm that will unchap your lips and make them taste like tea? No clue. Either prize is worth well over $0.50 USD and in these tough economic times something something something.

Week 3: We had 4 very valiant efforts (and one smart-ass response, I’m looking at you IrishMexi) in the responses to the Black & White movie images, but in the end the thunder was broughten by one true trivia master…One 100% perfect score to in the darkness bind us.
Even if deuce45 hadn’t been Clockwork Oranged into seeing every one of these movies and countless others since he was knee-high to a grasshopper, an experimental procedure to upload Netflix’s entire catalogue into his brain has made him more movie-knowledge now, than man. This trivia challenge was an easy home run for him, and we tip our collective hat to the man and the smarts at his fingertips.
Hey deuce45, is your keyboard dusty? Do you want to scare your cat away from chewing on your power cords? Why don’t you use the can of Dust-Off that’s on its way to being on its way to you to blast those problems away?!
* The use of compressed air cans to get an Allison from Intervention-like high is not advocated by Trivia Tuesday or any of its affiliates.

4 people rolled up on this map challenge like a gang of geography thugs and each of them straight ROCKED IT. (Sorry this is late, I went to see Jay-Z last night, you understand, right?)
Four people with the cartographic skills to pay the mapping bills. But there can be only one Highlander and it’s i’thaphithin.
HEEEERE WE ARE. BORN TO BE KINGS. WE’RE THE PRINCES OF THE UNIVERRRRSE.
So i’thaphithin, is it true that the only way to end you is a beheading? Yeah… I don’t really know anything else about the Highlander canon. Something something McCloud Clan?
Also, hit us up and let us know where to send your Vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading cards (worth hundreds of pennies) and the surprise vintage map. Unfortunately it will not be a map of Middle Earth.

Oh boy. You guys. This was bad. 5 measely entrants. Only TWO reached the 3-correct song mark. Even after the mad easified Chours Version.
Megwhyte goes home victorious this week.
The common thread between the songs was that they were all Billboard #1 Hits this week in the past.
1. Stutter (Remix) - Joe ft. Mystical: 2001
2. Informer - Snow: 1993
3. Centerfold - J. Geils Band: 1982
4. One Bad Apple - The Osmonds: 1971 (Blame Matt for this one. I didn’t want to use it.)
5. Hey Baby - Bruce Channel: 1962
I KNOW Y’ALL KNOW THESE SONGS.
Meg got #2, 3 and 4. So Meg wins. I’m sure she’s making the same face that she is in that stunning avatar.
Also BryanBoova got three right. Hooray or something.
Meg, your prize is two DVDs from a collection of DVDs that the video store didn’t want to buy back. YOUR EXCITEMENT IS PALPABLE. We’ll send you the list tonight.
Y’all, I have to go. You made me sad this week. Next time the question will be: This is a picture of an apple. What color is it?

The Answers, or: We Will Not Rest Until These Plots Are Actually Made Into Movies:
- A folk rock icon (played by multiple actors) unscrupulously builds an oil drilling empire to raise money to participate in an underground full-contact martial arts tournament: I’m Not There Will Be Bloodsport
- A political assassination is shown from multiple angles, including the view of an undercover cop from California who is infiltrating a gang of surfers who may or may not be contestants in an 80s dance contest: Vantage Point Breakin’ (we also accepted Vantage Point Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo)
- A guy helps some chimps who are being used in military experiments to harness their mutant powers and return to the government facility where they were held on a mission of revenge, but on the way their plane is hijacked by Al Quaeda terrorists: Project X-Men 2: X-Men United 93 (we accepted all iterations of the X2 title that included the “United” part — of course, you had to include that to make the United 93 thing work)
Congratulations, fagtasticvoyage! You are victorious, chosen randomly from the 9 people who got all parts of each answer correct. Your movie mash-up mastery has won you a copy of the Necronomicon of autobiographies by pregnant men: Labor of Love: The Story of One Man’s Extraordinary Pregnancy. We here at Trivia Tuesday have not read it, but only because we’re bitter that our own pregnant man autobiography was rejected by every major publisher.
Send us your mailing info and then fasten your emotional seatbelt, because “heartwarming” doesn’t even begin to describe the effect this book maybe probably has on the reader.
Further info about the pregnant man book can be found at the enigmatically-URL’ed www.pregnantmanbook.com.

Looks like things are popping over in Portland. MercuryPDX claims victory with 4.5 correct responses.
- An oarsman who’s not as quick as the rest. SLOWER ROWER
- A ridge in Miley’s brain. CYRUS GYRUS
- A tasty tidbit of shark fin. DORSAL MORSEL
- A rule of thumb for stimulated light emission. LASER RAZOR
- What you get when a greek playwright dabbles in experimental music. ARISTOPHANES’ CACOPHONIES
Some of the answers were flat out hilarious and creative - someone dropped “Slowpoke row-stroke” for number 1 which is just brilliant. “Aeschylus Mess-chylus” - cute.
But those last two…yeah, they were kinda hard right? Mercury PDX slayed all questions but #4. Didn’t get the razor part. But nevertheless, as one of the only people to conquer question five, he demonstrated exactly why he is the best candidate for receipt of two Magic the Gathering starter packs. I’m gonna go ahead and search Meetup.com for Magic get togethers over in the PDX, I know there are plenty bearded bros who are still trading away. And by the way, you are a Planeswalker. I think that is good? Yeah, it’s bad ass. “A planeswalker is a mage with the ability to travel to different planes of existence.” All I can picture right now is lightening striking everywhere and guitar riffs blasting.

Androogenous laying it down 100% correct style. A handful of people got close. One person I suspect of cheating. One person actually admitted to cheating. Some people… didn’t read properly, because they only responded with locations. No matter, Androo and one other person got them all right and then Androo beat the other person in an underground arm wrestling match, rendering his opponent’s arm useless and palsied, so the title belongs to he. Soak it in, Androogenous. Because soon enough the brother of your victim will appear out of nowhere, seeking revenge in a no holds barred cage match and well, trivia knowledge ain’t gonna help you then.
So what do you get for such vast knowledge of statues? Well I woke up and looked around my room and found this awesome set of Aqua Teen Hunger Force memorabilia. A cup. I mean, super useful, right? And a luggage tag shaped like Carl. Actually I kinda want to keep that. OK FINE. Take it.
