ljdq"Okay I'll bite, What is HPG Homicidal Penguin-Gremlins? Happy Paper Gnus? Hot Porny Giants?" -
![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
nirobyI guess the last one is the closest guess. HPG is AL's girlfriend,
hotpantsgalore. Originally from Texas, she's a Dallas Cowboys fan, & she punched AL in the head for writing Question 1. Saddle up, & let's get on with this cowboy-themed quiz!
1. What American football team is sometimes (mistakenly) called "America's Team"?
"C'mon now, how many Matt Stone/Trey Parker jokes are you expecting here?" -
miz_anneliese(We expected a lot, & got.... two. -AL)
"The name of the American football team known as 'America’s Team'?!? 'The Tautologies,' you’d think." -
captainsblog"*only watches football if I know it'll get me some from the boy later*" -
jessicamariek"I was born during a football game and my father told my mother to hold off labor until the kickoff of the 49er game. Doctor said he caught me like a Roman Gabriel pass. Perhaps this is WHY I don't like football." -
fantom07"I suppose this is an appropriate time to say that the Mexicans should have won in 1845, which would mean a better U.S. government today." -
drbear"Dallas Cowboys. Despite the name, they don't play ball in chaps and stetsons" -
germankitty"
" - sskipstress"And their favorite cheerleader, Debbie! Go Debbie, Go!" -
antinomic(+1, subtle 70's porn reference. -AL)
"Them Cowboys aren't America's Team...But the reality show where they select the cheerleaders is America's Entertainment, just because its fun to watch them tell 100 pound waifs that they are too fat and WATCH THEM CRY!" -
rhiannonjk(+1, schadenfreude. -CV)
"It's funny how you can HATE the Dallas Cowboys with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns, but be more than okay with their cheerleaders. I feel like they must be the result of some white slavery ring the NFL is running. " -

mark_laura"I hate Dallas. I cannot fully express the extent of my hatred for the Cowboys. I hate the city, I hate the team, I hate it all. HATE. And I'm from Texas." -
voided_space"Five'll get you ten
angledge wrote the 'mistakenly' part of the question, if not the whole thing; no one loathes like Philadelfans, and no one is more loathed by Eagles devotees than the Dallas Cowboys." - scifantasy(You're damn right I wrote this question. A +1 to the dozen or more Eagles fans who answered in kind. -AL)
(In the interest of fair & balanced Quizmastering, AL was prepared to quote any pro-Dallas answers that were submitted. So here it is - the ONLY pro-Dallas answer we got:)
"Back off my 'Pokes, fellas. In NM, here, we have a 'They needed killin'' law." -
therealchonCorrect Answer: the Dallas Cowboys.
2. What 1980 film starring John Travolta tells the love-hate story of Bud and Sissy?
"Uhhhh.... I plead ignorance, based on the fact that I was -1 when this movie came out. " -
nakedblueninja(Denied, & have a -50 for trying to play the forbidden Age Card. –CV&AL&LL)
"With the Hairspray remake, I found myself imagining how Travolta's other movies would have been different had he played a large woman. My brain broke somewhere around Pulp Fiction." -
filmbuff"I stopped reading the question when I saw John Travolta. I was afraid of catching body thetans." -
buzz"I’d tell you, but Xenu said I’d have to kill you..." -
smeddley"Welcome Back, Hubbard, where a screaming lunatic in a wheelchair yells at kids all day about how alien spirits make you do bad things. And something about nuking a volcano and shit. " -
lots42"Did you know they have Scientology in France? They call Xenu 'le Xenu Royalle'" -
angrysunbird"Was Sissy Spacek an alcoholic? Because this question would be way funnier if she was. 'No, I don't love you anymore, Bud!' 'That's just because you've tried my tastier brother, Bud-Light, haven't you? Baby, come back!' John Travolta has the talent of a can of beer, anyways, so it would be perfect." -
coolteamblt"I have no idea, but my mental radio is now torn between 'Jack and Diane' and 'You're the One That I Want.' I'm not sure how. Such is the power of the LJDQ." -
kamalloy"Oh, it's one of those Cowboy movies. After a while, American, Rhinestone and Rump-Riding just all merge together into a spangly-star orgy in my brain." -
deza"Urban Cowboy - the film that gave rise to the concept that riding a mechanical bull was cool." -
spotts1701"I was 9 when my grandparents took me to see it. Good as time as ever to see Travolta in a cowboy hat beating his wife." -
drmutant"I saw that movie for the first time when I was about seven. I'm surprised I can carry on a decent relationship to this day." -
elbiesee"My husband, a native of Houston, used to hang out at the bar that was filmed at in the 80s, Gilly's. John Travolta's Texican/Brooklyn accent in the movie makes him laff. Debra Winger is a Jew from Cleveland by way of California and sounds like it. Apparently, a dialect coach wasn't in the budget." -
ginalinCorrect Answer: Urban Cowboy.
3. Lyrics time! According to this Bon Jovi song, the singer is a what?
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
"You know, that's funny because I've seen a millions faces and I've rocked them all, too." -
angelchicken"He's in the Whistling Monkey Cowboy Band!" -
thepikey(+1, Baby Blues. –LL)
"I would think that riding a steel horse would give saddle sores to even the most hardened of cowboys." -
jrho"Jon Bon Jovi was in Pay it Forward with Haley Joel Osment, who was in Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks, who was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon." -
umbralcorax"This song is excellent for pole-dancing. I always made a ton of money off this one." -
deza"I have no shame for knowing the lyrics to that song. My shame comes from other things." -
whiski_sour"He's A Cowboy With Really Big Hair. (Three members of my immediate family can sing 'Livin' On a Prayer' in the correct octave at the falsetto part. We are very heavily from New Jersey.)" -
pennyverse"I'm a hair band... on the turnpike I ride..." -
faeriedragonCorrect Answer: He's a cowboy, wanted dead or alive.
4. What is the name of the Japanese anime series that followed four bounty hunters through space?
"Anime = boobs. And knowing the theme, the answer must be... Cowboobs! Which would be udders, and that’s an udderly ridiculous answer..." -
smeddley"PANTY SHOTS. Screw the 'real' name, that's what it is. That's what 74 percent of all Japanese Anime is. You think they could show a bra or two but NOOO." -
lots42(OK, I don't watch any anime, so I'm confused. Is it about boobs, or panties? -AL)
"Teletubbies In Space! (In space, no one can hear you go tinky-winky.)" -
stagemanager"I was trying to think of a clever way to express how stupid anime is, and failed." -
smokedgalss7429(That's 'cause it isn't. –LL)
"It must be Spaceballs, although I do not remember the Japanese bit." -
antinomic"I don’t know enough about Japanese anime, but there’s a classic Chinese film from the Han dynasty titled Greedo Shot First. " -
captainsblog"Sorry, but the only cartoons I get to watch these days are Dora and Diego. " -
sitandwait(I feel your pain. -LL)
"Cowboy Hentai HappY Happy Fun Time Show! " -
writersblock_va"Cowboy Bebop! Yay, slutty space-girls! " -
allie_the_neko"I’ve never quite figured out why they call them cowboys and what it actually all has to do with bebop. I wouldn’t picture bounty hunters in space with a title like that; I picture Charlie Parker riding backwards on a mustang playing sax." -
unwritten_dirge"Cowboy Bebop Shoo-bop Sha Walla Walla Ding Dong" -
unleashedfreakCorrect Answer: Cowboy Bebop.
5. What figure from Texas legend supposedly colored the Painted Desert, rode a cyclone, and used a rattlesnake as a whip?
Quizlings that only know their American mythos from Disney: 7
Quizlings who think it's Chuck Norris: hell of a lot
"Only Steve Irwin could have ever gotten away with using a rattlesnake as a whip." -
nakedblueninja"
hotpantsgalore." - fizrep"What kind of cowboy rides a cyclone? I can't imagine the cattle owners would like their beef showing up quite so tenderized." -
anonymisty"There are only two things that come from Texas. One is cattle. The other appears to like to whip it good . . ." -
uncut_diamond(+1, Full Metal Jacket. -A
"He can smell a Pig from a mile away. No. Wait. That was that other cowboy. " -
karmaschild"George Bush, who has also supposedly done great things both internationally and in the United States. Sadly, more people believe this legend than the legend of Pecos Bill." -
unwritten_dirge"Pecos Bill. I love that Disney cartoon based on it, especially the bit about his horse Widowmaker being jealous of his girlfriend. Only Disney can get away with insinuations of bestiality and no one cares!" -
ginalin"Good ol' Pecos Bill. He was fun until Slewfoot Sue got hold of him. I mean, she rode a catfish, how lame is that?" -
miladygrey"Not to be mistaken with his cheaper half brother, Pesos Bill" -
slave_to_animeCorrect Answer: Pecos Bill.
"Ppphbt. If he's from Texas, he's probably lying about it. (Said the native Oklahoman.)" -
elbiesee6. Whose range are you ridin'?
Quizlings who seem to know our mothers a little too well: 2
"I have no idea what this question even means." -
b_hulsmans"Oooh, are you flirting with me,
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
ljdq? Let me go slip into something more...comfortable..." - agirlwithavoice"I'm gonna get me one uh them free-range chickens to ride." -
sskipstress"Whoa there, pardner! I don't go spreadin' gossip about my range ridin' habits; this here prairie is smaller than you think." -
squeegibo"In just over a month I'll saddle up and head for the Black Rock Desert in remote Nevada, where I will have many an adventure searching for booze, wimmen, and dirty breaks. I am a post-modern cowboy, and on a glow-in-the-dark huffy I ride. Yee-haw!" -
thepikey(Ah yes, Burning Man season is upon us again.... -AL)
"I'm single, so thanks for reminding me what I'm missing." -
killabee886"Damn you, LJDQ, for reminding me of how very single I am! What, Valentines day isn't enough for you? You gotta rub it in a little more. Huh. Actually, that rubbing is probably the most action I've seen in months. Cheers!" -
karamschild(Happy to oblige. –CV&AL&LL)
"Range? I don't need no stinkin range." -
antinomic"I'm ridin' the Glens! Glenlivet and Glenmorangie!" -
blindgeoff(+2, single malts. -AL)
"I don't mind, as long as I get to wear leather chaps!" -
drbear"Why
drbear's, of course...*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*" - tweeti(We'll let you two work that out between yourselves... -CV&AL&LL)
"I'm the lonesome cowboy, just lookin' for a place to bed down." -
spotts1701"I consider myself a data wrangler." -
drmutant"I will just try to be good and sit here and not make any of the obvious jokes about riding anyone!" -
jigawattica(Why? –LL)
"I'm not too picky after enough gin and Dr. Pepper, or Grand Marnier and Diet Coke." -
coolteambltCorrect Answer: "No one's. I'm saving myself for
chaosvizier." - chlaalHaving been rendered speechless by that last answer, we finish here. Tomorrow: more Quiz.
Rock on,

Silly Jessica, you are female, the boy is male. You can get some from him at any time you want.
To AL: They have the bouncy boobs but what they -show- are the panties. All panties, all the time. The boobs are more covered up then a wussy American in a sunshower.
Of course, if you read the manage, it's the boobs. "Hey, we just helped some people we barely know clean their entire fucking house and we aren't getting paid shit! Let's get naked in the spa!"
I mean, I like boobs as much as the next guy but COME ON.
To Dirge: The main character on Cowboy Bebop acts recklessly and LOVES jazz. That's part of why I like the show. The
pantieslove he has for jazz. How cool is that?no subject
Date: 2007-07-30 12:37 pm (UTC)And the house cleaning plot? So, so very true. AOI something or other was the title. It was one of those 'harem' books but only half the girls are batshit insane.
