The Collective Trivia Quiz Does Dallas!



POSTED ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 26th, 2010



First of all, here are last week's Top 3 Finishers:



In THIRD PLACE with 157 points, BILL KIEL!



In SECOND PLACE with 203 points, MALCOLM BONDON!



And in FIRST PLACE with 257 points, TERRY WIEGERT!



Congratulations to the folks on our podium, and thanks to everyone who played!

I'd also like to congratulate the winners of Saturday's Trivia Unplugged contest, Rebel Rousers. They're a conglomeration of the Collective and the nigh-legendary CNOF. A great way to start off the Trivia Season proper! Good job, folks!




And now, the starting line-up for your Milkwaukee Brewers, and The Rules of the Game:

  • You can use any resource to find your answers: Google, Wikipedia, books, magazines, crystal balls, bribes ... it's all good to me. Especially the bribes bit.

  • 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 laugh at you. 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.)

  • You do not have to answer ALL the questions to enter. Feel free to answer as many as you know or just guess. You never know when you'll pull the proverbial flying monkey out yer butt and get it right!

  • The contest will end in seven days (one week) at 11:59pm on Saturday October 2nd, 2010.

  • And please remember that only you can prevent Forrest Tucker!


And here's this week's quiz:




  1. The morning after that lowdown sidewinder Black Pete robbed the Gower Gulch Bank, he calmly sang a song while making breakfast. What song did he sing?

  2. What was the name of the seedy establishment that was owned by big screen character Henry Gutterman?

  3. Yogi Bear has a good friend who lives in the very small town of Hobo Corners. What is Yogi's friend's name?

  4. What is the first and last name of the hoopy frood in the photograph below?










  5. What animated character's motto was "hero work done cheap – all credit cards accepted"?

  6. What is the name of the character represented by the action figure in the photograph below?









  7. What did humorist and actor Robert Benchley describe (in a quote from a book) as "the finely pulverized product resulting from the calcination to incipient fusion of an intimate mixture of properly proportioned argillaeceous and calcareous materials and to which no addition greater than 3 percent has been made subsequent to calcination"?

  8. The Tubes have had a long career in show business. In fact, they once even appeared on a fictional television show broadcast by a fictional television network. What was the name of the song that they performed on that fictional TV show?

  9. What is the name of the fictional ruler of Celesteville, which was named after the ruler's beloved wife?

  10. Y'know, I've heard that the lunatic is in my hall, but the picture below is part of a poster for a popular motion picture. What is the title of that film?






    Good luck to everyone this week! Take care and have fun!
