PLEASE NOTE:
BECAUSE I HADN'T REALIZED THERE WAS A TRIVIA CONTEST THIS FRIDAY TO SATURDAY NIGHTS, THE COLLECTIVE TRIVIA QUIZ WILL BE EXTENDED AN EXTRA WEEK. YOU HAVE UNTIL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH TO GET YOUR ANSWERS IN!
Good Luck!
The Rules of the Game:
• You can use any resource to find your answers. I seem to remember they used to have these things called “books”, but I might have them confused with Victrolas.
• Points are scored on a pari-mutuel basis. Each question is worth 100 points, divided by the number of correct answers for that question.
• Do not post your answers here to the comment section of this blog! People will steal your answers (and more than likely laugh at you; I know I will). EMAIL your answers to me at vigilante407@gmail.com. Please make sure you number your answers correctly to correspond with the questions. Also, please send all your answers together in one email! Otherwise, only the answers in the first email I get will count.
• The contest will end in seven days (one week) at 11:59pm on Saturday, September 18th, 2010.
• And please remember that only you can prevent Forrest Tucker!

4. What company uses the somewhat suggestive logo printed below on some of its products?
5. This classic 80’s video follows the adventures of the lead singer of the band on the way to a concert. Instead of riding inside the car with the others, the singer is made to travel in a crate in the trunk. Soon after they start off for that night’s venue, the crate falls out of the trunk. It is hit by a car, lands on a skateboard, splashes in a pool, and lands on a teeter-totter before, miraculously, the crate crashes through the ceiling of the concert hall. The band itself has a cult status and was known for all the members adopting the same last name. What is the name of this rock video?
6. The menace in this movie is as big as a battleship, flies four times the speed of sound and can’t be hurt by atomic weapons. According to the poster for this movie, from what year does this winged monster come from? Naturally, this particular blurb had pretty much nothing to with the actual film.
7. I’m sure most folks have read at least a couple Little Golden Books when they were kids. I know I remember the first one I ever read (which, incidentally, was the first book I ever read) because it was based on one of my first favorite TV shows. After Jonathan Zero and Loonie (his pet Lazoon) helped get the ship they were passengers on off Venus (and getting bags of precious stones to be used to set up a Space School for Earth boys and girls), a big parade was held in their honor. What was the name of the cookie treat that Jonathan and Zoonie munched on while they sat atop the spaceship that led the parade?
8. What motion picture is featured in the screen shot below?
