"You Can Leave Your Hat On"

So here's a picture quiz for you all to work on for a few days. All hats. More specifically, all men's hats. You will find no pillbox or sun bonnet here. I chose 20, some are easy, some are hard. Between all of you, I bet you can get them all.





1.) As you can see, this hat plays an important part of the uniform of a number of military units of Great Britain.












2.) Once a common hat style among proper gentlemen, now only the rare few can rock this hat.

















3.) There's often a small container of these near the entrance to Synagogue.
















4.) Traditional headware all over the middle east, and often seen on old men in little tiny cars as well.

















5.) Sherlock Holmes hat is not the answer.




















6.) This is Buster Keaton. He became associated with this style of hat, and in fact, used to make his own.















7.) Most often seen on Barbershop quartets, and at political conventions, this hat used to be very popular in America.


















8.) A very common hat style. You saw Harrison Ford in at least two different ones this past weekend.















9.) It's got a couple of different names. Mxy is quite fond of them.



















10.) Very French military. This picture is from Casablanca.


















11.) Scottish, Irish, or just plain going for that outlandish golfer look. The Pom pom on top is not strictly necessary, but it really does make a great conversation starter.













12.) Yes yes, I call them Smokey the Bear hats too. Also, Drill Instructor hats. But what is it really called?



















13.) Ear flaps go up, ear flaps go down, ear flaps go up, ear flaps go down.

In Soviet Russia you cover hat's ears.















14.) The top of this hat is flat. Also, this one is a little large. Clint Eastwood wears a nontraditional one in The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Traditional ones are made of straw.

























15.) Sort of like the golfing hat above, but with a brim. Also, a button instead of a Pom Pom









16.) Well? Anybody know what it's called? I'm putting money on Dave knowing.














17.) The Military of many nations wear these, but I'm partial to the kind this man is wearing.




















18.) Yes, but what kind specifically. Don't just tell me baseball cap.












19.) Alright, another one I had to look up. Here's a hint: it's French.














20.) Dr. Livingstone I presume?

"Brother Can You Spare a Dime"


I've just finished the Studs Terkel book on the Depression I mentioned earlier. This period of American history has greatly changed the modern American landscape, from welfare to civil rights; but this is not that type of blog. This is the kind of blog that doesn't give up on the idea of posting quizzes!

1.) The picture to the right is one of the most iconic in the milieu of Depression era photography. Tell me who took it, or what it's called, or how old the woman in the picture is.


2.) "Black Tuesday" is considered the start of the Great Depression. What was the day, month and year?

3.) FDR is the President most associated with the Depression, but what President was in the hot seat when it started?

4.) The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are all independent agencies of the United States Government . Two of them were founded during the Depression. Which two?

5.) Two amendments to the Constitution were passed during the Depression, the 20th and 21st. What did they do?

6.) The 22nd amendment set term limits for President of the United States. Before this time, all former Presidents had followed the tradition of George Washington and only held two terms in office. FDR broke this tradition and was elected to how many terms?

7.) The first Academy Awards after the Depression hit was the 2nd Academy Awards in April of 1930. Cedric Gibbons won for Best Art Direction. What did he do for the Academy in 1928, well before the first awards show?

8.) The 12th Academy Awards was held in February of 1940 for films of 1939. Gone with the Wind was a major winner. The event was the first to have the rights sold to be filmed, when the stars found out, they all showed up in very formal gowns and jewelry; a trend that continues today. Mr. Smith goes to Washington opened in October, and was in line to win almost everything, but Gone with the Wind opened in December and swept up. Creative teams still release "Oscar Worthy" films in December. Another tradition started on this night. A 36 year old English born comedian hosted for the first time. He hosted 18 times in total from 1940 to 1978. Name that comedian.

9.) Right in the middle of the Depression, music styles underwent a shift that we ignore today. Before 1935, the popular music was called jazz, but modern musicians call it "sweet jazz": Irving Berlin, Rogers and Hart, Ray Noble, Johnny Mercer, and Cole Porter. As the Depression continued, what was called "race music" started to blend with the "sweet jazz" and we get Swing Music. Swing was controversial (as all good music is) as it crossed racial lines, and poverty lines. Benny Goodman popularized the style that continued to dominate popular music into the 40s and 50s. Count Basie and Duke Ellington were major influences on the Swing era. What instruments did the Count, the Duke, and Goodman play in their respective bands?

10.) John Steinbeck was a prominent writer during the Depression and beyond. He wrote at least three novels during the Depression that were about the Depression. Everyone remembers Grapes of Wrath. Name one of the others.

11.) One of America's favorite books: To Kill A Mockingbird is set during the Depression. It all takes place in the fictional town of Maycomb. What State is Maycomb in?

12.) "As Maine goes, so goes the nation" was a political phrase that meant that Maine was a Bellwether of the nation's political state of mind. The voted for Governor, and Congressional delegation in September, and for many years, had accurately predicted who was going to win the Presidential Election. In 1936 they elected Republicans across the state, and Republican presidential candidate Alf Landon was exuberant. Two months later however, FDR proved victorious at the polls, and Landon only took 2 states and 8 electoral college votes, against Roosevelt's 46 and 523. A Democratic strategist flipped the phrase on its ear after his candidates stunning victory. What was the new phrase?

"This Note's for You"


Let's talk product placement. In movies, in music, it has been around for all of our lives, so I decided what could be better than to devote a quiz to it?

1.) Everybody knows that E.T. ate Reese's Pieces candy, but what beer did he drink?

2.) Name a company closely associated with the Tom Hanks film Castaway.

3) Name the product mentioned during prayer in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

4.) The first season of The Flintstones was sponsored by what cigarette company?

5.) In the movie Evolution (It's about an alien species that imagine this evolves) David Duchovny, Julieanne Moore, Orlando Jones, and Seann William Scott take on the invading horde with what hair care product?

6.) Not counting the car... name at least three prominently displayed products in the Back to the Future trilogy.

7.) What company won the Franchise Wars in Demolition Man?

8.) It's February 1989 and Madonna was about to release the video to "Like a Prayer" What drink company payed her 5 million dollars to star in a commercial that was pulled from the airwaves almost before it aired?

9.) What make and model is a "Little Deuce Coupe" that the Beach Boys sing about?

10.) Minority Report included eye scanning advertising that spoke to you; directly. Name a company that addressed Tom Cruise's character.

11.) What kind of shoe does Will Smith wear in I, Robot?

12.) What kind of car is K.I.T.T. ?

13.) What Brand of Pizza do the Turtles eat in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie?

14.) What brand of computer helped save the world in Independence Day?

15.) And finally... What movie was essentially an hour and a half long commercial for Nintendo, specifically Super Mario Brothers 3?

Did I miss any of your favorites? Let me know!

"Heigh-Ho"


Alright, well, I thought I'd go back to my classic grab bag and post a little quiz.

The topic of the quiz shall be Disney animated feature films made before I was born. Only the full length animated films in the Disney Cannon from 1937 until my birth. As I am a fan of the music and the movies, questions will include music from the films, plot elements of the films, that sort of thing. Don't expect questions on directors names or production notes. Have a good time!

1.) In Cinderella, what is a dream...?

2.) Pongo was the first Dalmatian in 101 Dalmatians. What job did his "pet" Roger Radcliffe do for a living.

3.) "...he can call me Flower, if he wants to." So says this little Skunk in what film?

4.) In The Aristocats, why does everybody want to be a cat?

5.) The song "Some Day my Prince will Come" has become a jazz standard, covered by Buddy Rich, Miles Davis, etc. What film does it come from?

6.) In the video game series Kingdom Hearts, based on the Final Fantasy and Disney worlds, one of the Big Bads is the evil witch from Sleeping Beauty. What is her name?

7.) In Robin Hood, what does Oo-De-Lally mean?

8.) What type of dog is Lady in Lady and the Tramp?

9.) What movie sees an anthropomorphous fox sing "Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)?

10.) In The Sword and the Stone, Merlin and Mad Madame Mim engage in a wizards duel. At the climax of the battle, Mim turns into a giant purple dragon. How does Merlin defeat her?

11.) What is Dumbo's mother named?

12.) Wendy, John and Michael from Peter Pan... what is their last name?

13.) Who is present at the Unbirthday Party in Alice in Wonderland?

14.) The Beatles were the inspiration for the sound and appearance of the four vultures in this film?

Well that's it. There were 7 films that were "package films" made up of shorter subjects, and there were 6 films that had a blend of animation and live action that were released before I was born, but those are going to have to be for another time!

"The Boys of Summer"


Late October, and baseball once again rests on the minds of men and women across the country. The Red Socks have once again snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to win the American League Pennant, while in Colorado, the Rockies have a perfect post season on their hands.

I like Baseball. I do not love Baseball, but I like it. I do not follow a particular team. When pressed, I do profess to enjoying the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Mets, and the Cardinals. I also enjoy watching certain teams loose, like the Blue Jays, the Orioles, and the Angels. Once the Yankees were out this year, I wanted the Sox to go out as well, but it looks like they might have the grit to go up against the grenade tossing "David" of Colorado, for you must admit, the Boston Red Sox are the Goliath in this example.

Most of what I like about baseball are the traditions, the chants, the superstitions, and what not, so in that vein, I present a little baseball quiz for you all.

1. The Boys of Summer is a phrase that is many sports writers use to encompass all ball players. But a book by that name focuses on what team?

2. What park is the home of the Green Monster?

3. The 1919 World Series will go down in history as "The Black Sox Scandal" where 8 members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of throwing the series. What was the other team in the series?

4. Which President threw out the first ceremonial first pitch? Hint: it was at a Senators game.

5. What team's ballpark was home to Roseanne's infamous rendition of the Star Spangled Banner?

6. The 2002 film The Rookie, starring Dennis Quaid is based on the true story of Jim Morris, who at 35 years old, played in his rookie season for what team?

7. An easy one for fans from my neck of the woods: Where did the Washington Nationals play before they moved here?

8. What state has the most MLB teams, how many teams is that, and what league has the majority of those teams?

9. Match the well known player with the team he his best known for playing for.
------A.Ty Cobb----------1.New York Yankees
------B. Pete Rose--------2.Atlanta Braves
------C.Hank Aaron-------3. Detroit Tigers
------D.Yogi Berra---------4.Boston Red Sox
------E.Ted Williams-------5.Cincinnati Reds

10. OK, we're talkin' baseball... Who are/were Willy, Mickey and the Duke?

11. Not strictly a baseball question, but... what ball park did the Beatles play their last concert at? It was in 1966.

12. In 1962, the otherwise unremarkable Harry Chiti entered baseball history when he was traded for a "player to be named later". Who was that player?

13. The Cleavland Indians team is the focus of the first two Major League films. What major league team, and their minor league affiliate the South Carolina Buzz are the focus of Major League: Back to the Minors?

14. What team has picked up the nickname "The Twinkies"

15. Name any of "Mighty Casey"'s teammates on "The Mudville Nine"

"Don't Lose My Number"


Maren posted a quiz that really took me out of my safe zone and I loved it. I did not under any circumstances win, but I learned a bunch and had a good time. My father sent me a quiz as a spreadsheet last week that I really enjoyed wrapping my brain around. It claimed (as many online quizzes do) to be associated with MENSA, but to the best of my limited research, actually has nothing to do with it at all.

Still, it was fun, and since I'm going to be gone all weekend again, (Suffolk Peanut Festival for those keeping track) I thought I'd leave you with another hard one, but not for the usual reasons.

I do have a tendency to post quizzes about pop culture, this is because I tend to think of it as non exclusionary. If I did a quiz on theater terms, role playing tropes, or my girlfriend, I would be excluding people. But if I talk about movies, TV and music... well, lets face it, if you have an internet connection you have sufficient exposure to pop culture to guess.

But I went back over some of those quizzes and realised "wow, these are 'ef-ing' hard". And mostly because they are obscure. So the quiz below is hard, (at least I found it a challenge to get them all right [full disclosure I never did figure out three of them, I had to ask for the answer] though many of them came to me within minutes of starting, others took days to gestate in my head) but the knowledge is not too obscure. The version I took had 33 questions, and is in fact part one of 4 I found online later. I have trimmed it down to 28 because quite frankly, some of them were lame, and others are not true depending on your faith.

Here are a couple of tips, I've "spoiler tagged" them, just highlight if you want a little leg up.

A. Ignore the letters. Focus on the number.

B. Forget the number, focus on the letters.

C. Say it out loud. Again. Again. See?

So here we go. The first one I've solved for you as an example

0. 24 H in a D 24 Hours in a Day

1. 26 L of the A

2. 7 D of the W

3. 7 W of the W

4. 12 S of the Z

5. 52 C in a D (WJs)

6. 13 S in the USF

7. 18 H on a G C

8. 5 T on a F

9. 90 D in a R A

10. 3 B M ( S H T R)

11. 32 is the T in D F at which W F

12. 15 P on a R T

13. 3 W on a T

14. 11 P on a F (S) T

15. 12 M in a Y

16. 8 T on an O

17. 29 D in F on a L Y

18. 365 D in a Y

19. 13 L in a B D

20. 52 W in a Y

21. 9 L of a C

22. 60 M in a H

23. 23 P of C in the HB

24. 64 S on a C B

25. 9 P in S A

26. 6 B to an O in C

27. 1000 Y in a M

28. 15 M on a D M C

Like I said, my Dad sent this one to me, and he liked it, and I liked it, so I figure, you'll like it. Warning: this is not an "American" test, nor is it a "British" test. It is an international test in English. Have a good time, I'll be back with answers after the weekend.

"Rare Old Mountain Dew"

Just a few pictures that my cailin deas took of the grounds during the wine tasting this weekend.


Cool rolling hills we wished we had brought a blanket to sit on.


Our cheese and wine break.


The vineyards.


Good view of the hills to the North East


Last picture of our trip to the winery.


Alright, I'm going to put up the answers to the last quiz tonight or tomorrow, so tell your friends and family to get their guesses in! I thought maybe you all could use some help. Two of the quotes are in movies staring Julie Andrews. Two of the quotes come from animated films. Eight of the quotes come from films that have sequels. Only one of the guesses so far is wrong.

"Rocket Queen"

There are movies that you have watched time and time again. Movies that you would swear you could quote every line of, right along with it. But could you really? What if someone gave you a line completely out of context? I'm sure we all could do "Anybody want a peanut?" or "As you wish!" But how many of us can do "I'm not saying I'd like to build a summer home here, but the trees are actually quite lovely"?

OK,that one was a little easy with the build up from the other quotes, but you see what I mean. So here is the idea. Quotes from some of the biggest and best movies of all time. The chances that you have seen these movies is very high, but do you remember them all? Let me give an example. The quote that gave me the idea for this is "It rains because you're sad baby." Remember it? It's from Men in Black 2. I'm not including it in the quiz because it is not a well known enough movie. I mean, it was big, but it wasn't HUGE. The movies these quotes come from are HUGE. Either enormous blockbusters, or movies that touched our national conscience or both.

Oh yeah, and bonus points for the title of the post. It's a song I picked special for someone who hasn't posted here in a long time. Someone who just may get Dutch-balled if she doesn't play.

1. I like rich people. I like the way they live. I like the way I live when I'm with them.

2. We're all going to die and they're never going to give me my license!

3. I can do anything, I'm the chief of police.

4. Angel, ha! She's a female! And all females is poison! They're full of wicked wiles!

5. That's a pie crust promise. Easily made, easily broken.

6. Her dream had come true. She was a folk singer.

7. Kids, we're gonna have to eat this cake by ourselves. Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again.

8. I don't want to play the gender card right now. You want to play a card, let's play the "let's not die" card.

9. Do you know why the number two hundred is so vitally descriptive to both you and me? It's your weight and my I.Q.

10.When you grow up, your heart dies.

11.I want him manning a radar tower in Alaska by the end of the day. Just mail him his clothes.

12.Wonderful girl! Either I'm going to kill her or I'm beginning to like her.

13. Both hands on the wheel, Mr. Jones, I'm a very nervous passenger.

14.This is the cleanest and nicest police car I've ever been in my life. This thing is nicer than my apartment.

15. Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

"You're So Vain"



The above song is one of those music trivia nut Meccas. Tons of articles have been written on the subject of just who Carly Simon is singing about and annoying voiced Weasel must bring it up every time he plays the song. But there are lots of songs where we know exactly who the singer was talking about. Well, I do anyway. How about you? Name the person[s] the song is about.


1. Don Mcelan's "American Pie" (Three People)

2. The original version of Sir Elton John's "Candle in the Wind".

3. Bob Dylan's protest song "Hurricane".

4. The Commodores hit song "The Nightshift" (Two People).

5. Stevie Wonder's jazz/pop fusion song "Isn't She Lovely".

6. R.E.M. hit "Man on the Moon"

7. "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2 (just the last verse really)

8. Roberta Flack and later the Fugees had big hits, but originally Lori Lieberman sang "Killing me Softly With his Song" based on a poem she wrote about this performer.

9. Derek and the Dominoes "Layla".

10. "Don't Speak" by No Doubt.

11. Joan Baez "Diamonds and Rust".

12. "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchel.

13. Anita Carter first sang "Ring of Fire" but you probably know the Johnny Cash version. (OK, this one is tricky and may not count)

14. Puff Daddy had a lot of help putting together the song "I'll be Missing You".

15. Tori Amos' song "Jackie's Strength"

Bonus : Alaniss Morissette and Carly Simon have both written songs about someone and not publicly revealed the name of the person the song is about. "You Oughta Know" and of course the title of this post. So who are some of the front runners for these mystery men?

"A Quick One While He's Away"


I have thrown out my back and am on some good pain killers. I am currently kneeling in from of my computer at work because I can't sit. I have lots to blog about, but am in no frame of mind to do so.

So I offer a brief respite from the working day. Try this excellent civics quiz. It will make your gears grind, but you'll feel better by the end of it I bet. I did. The table on how college freshmen and seniors did on this test is very interesting.

I got 48 out of 60 correct for 80%. A C+ or B- at best, but in comparison to the college kids who just finished taking it, I am a freakin' genius and I know you will be too.

More later, I promise, but for now, just keep my back in your prayers.

9. Describe what happened when somebody sneezed on top of spaghetti.

10. Why does that poor boy Tom Dooley hang down his head and cry?

11. She'll be coming round the mountain sure enough, but what are we going to feed her?

13. Where would one find snakes big as garden rakes?

14. What color grow the rushes?

15. A jolly swagman camped by a billabong under a coolibah tree. He passed the time by singing Waltzing Matilda. What was he watching and waiting for?

16. What did Molly Malone cry as she wheeled her wheel barrow down the streets of Dublin?

17. I'm getting mighty parched writing all these questions. So where would I look for Whiskey?

18. When did the Cat come back?

19. Name three things to do with a drunken sailor.

20. What is hiding in a beautiful bunch of ripe bananas?

"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

I started a post with this title last week. I was going to talk about this song and how it is my favorite song on my favorite Beatles album. But I realized that beyond the rather well known trivia that God played the guitar solo, I had very little else to fill out the post. So the title floated around in my head for a while. Bolstered by a conversation with Dave about Balloons and a Decision Tree, I decided to do a bit of a trivia quiz. Enjoy.

All you have to do is name the instrument. A little bit of trivia on the instrument wouldn't be out of order, but that's just bonus points. I decided on all string instruments this time. I may do another one later.

" "Heroes" "




Today we play a little "Ancient Heroes Jeopardy" So make sure you put your answers in the form of a question!

1. He slew the Bull of Heaven and then tore off its hindquarters to threaten an overly amorous goddess.

2. He defeated the Gorgon Medusa by viewing her only by her reflection on his shield.

3. He killed the dragon Fafnir and bathed in its blood, making him invulnerable except for one spot that was covered by a leaf.

4. He wrestled with a mysterious being until daybreak, and then took the name "One who has struggled with God"

5. He killed the fire breathing Aillen to claim his birthright.

6. She joined the Army disguised as a man.

7. She was a legendary warrior and instructor who trained the hero CĂșchulainn

8. He was a blacksmith who, after loosing 18 of his sons to a foreign ruler, led a revolt to free his people.

9. He lifted a mountain to find a healing herb, and later, assumed his five faced form to blow out five magic lamps at the same time and free his friend.

10. He roped the sun with his sister's hair so that it would slow down; thus with the days longer, his mother's cloth would dry better.

Let's face it, I had to look many of these up. I expect most of you to have to do it as well. If you know more than half without looking them up (spelling does not count) then you really should think about teaching at University. And no, even though the picture is of Hercules/Heracles, he is not one of the answers.

"Thou Shalt Always Kill"


Watch this. Watch it now.



You should probably watch it again to make sure you got it all. For those of you not hooked on Brit-coms, the accent might take a little time. Go ahead, we'll wait.





Okay. Sure, some of you have seen this before and I hate you for not sharing it with me. Those of you who watched it for the first time and didn't quite get it, don't feel bad. It's mocking Brit youth culture, but I think most of it works for US youth culture as well. Here is the link to the lyrics. And here is a link to the Wikipedia article that doesn't really have to much new to add.

My favorite parts are the reminder that no matter how much I love the Beatles, they are, as the man says, "Just a Band" (Plus wicked sweet Dylan reference in the video) And the reminder that guns bitches and bling were never part of the four elements.

Oh yeah, anone who can, without looking it up, tell me who all the people "thou shalt not take the names of _____ in vain" are wins a cookie.

And anyone who can name me a song by each of the artists mentioned in the "Just a Band" section wins a place in my heart I was saving for marriage.

;-)

"Perfect Crime"

Updated
Some background before the quotes.

As some of you may have noticed, I like me some themes. Every post has had a song title as the subject, and I like to think that the song has had something to do with the post. I've referenced the Beatles the Beach Boys and Bowie, as well as other artists that do not start with B. The above quote is Guns and Roses, way to go Moheggie. The picture is from The Great Train Robbery.

My friend Mark and I run a game. It is a crime themed game where our friends play the part of criminals trying to pull various heists. For those of you unfamiliar with the role playing games, it is something like Oceans 11 meets Dungeons and Dragons. Anyway, we send out emails every few weeks to remind the players what is going on and whose turn it is to bring the Mountain Dew. As the subject to each of these emails I have sent out I included a quote from a film in the crime genre. Some of these will be hard, some easy.

I sent the first 12 of these out as a contest for my players, and I would be remiss if I did not mention that Rick Davis won that contest. And while I have you here, let me also congratulate Chris and Orin. I mentioned Chris in this post. I still can't say exactly what he's doing in Atlanta, but now its both of them and I am still very jealous. Players Pat and Ash recently moved closer so we hope to see them a whole lot more. Lauren just got a new job, Chris and Kate are gearing up for Pennsic, Bobby has already got his tickets for Transformers, and if anybody sees Ted, tell him we miss him! On to the quotes!

1. “So, what does a man with thirty-five million dollars' worth of gold do at night? Watches his big-ass TV.” The Italian Job (2003 remake)

2. “Ten oughta do it, don't you think? You think we need one more? You think we need one more. All right, we'll get one more.” Ocean's Eleven (2001 remake)

3. “Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station.” The Ususal Suspects

4. “What color are their hands now?” The Great Muppet Caper
