[identity profile] chaosvizier.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] ljdq


Happy Monday to everyone! It's a big week here, thanks to the hundreds of new people who have stopped by to check out the community and even take a chance at playing the quiz. You are all welcome, and thanks for playing!

Before we start, let's give a big birthday shoutout to one of my closest friends, [livejournal.com profile] angledge, co-founder of the [livejournal.com profile] ljdq and super-brainchild behind its conception. Without her this community would not be here today. She is, unfortunately, incapacitated by her job at this time, but she'll be back.

Still, the quiz must go on. So, on we go!



1. What actor played Sam's holographic guide on "Quantum Leap"?

"OMGWTFCYLON!" - 10 colonials. Don't worry; we'll get you too.

"Doctor Wellington Yueh" - 6 of you

(+1 to all of you, Dune. -B)

"That's Dean Stockwell. Although he was infinitely creepier as Dr. Huey in Dune. Or maybe I'm confusing him with Huey Lewis and the News..." - [livejournal.com profile] al_rants

(...except you. -CV)

"It wasn't the Doctor from Star Trek Voyager, was it? I like that guy." - [livejournal.com profile] orgdotnews and many more

(Nope. Al wasn't that snooty. -B)

"Dean Stockwell. Even though I was twelve, I could still see the faint slash vibes hovering around Sam and Al." - [livejournal.com profile] miladygrey

"Yoda. All other guides are posers." - [livejournal.com profile] butterflyhickup

"One of the Baldwins. Had't've been." - [livejournal.com profile] tikuko

"If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal. I can call you Betty, and Betty when you call me, you can call me Al. Call me Al!" - [livejournal.com profile] rosefox8, [livejournal.com profile] germankitty

(+1, Paul Simon. -B)

"His pornographic guide was Ron Jeremy." - [livejournal.com profile] dhud98
"Considering I haven't seen Quantum Leap, I'm just going to say what 'Sam's holographic guide' makes me think of and say Jensen Ackles. Though holographic guide right now is sounding kind of pornographic." - [livejournal.com profile] lightmy_muse

(Oh yes, and a -1 to all of you who read that as 'homographic' guide. Not because I have anything against the LGBT community (not to be confused with the LJDQ community), but because you all have dirty, dirty minds. -B)

"You know, the fact that I know this answer weirds me out entirely. I mean, not only did I actually watch Quantum Leap as a kid, but I actually had my first sex dream about Dean Stockwell. Not Scott Backula, like other prepubescent girlie sci-fi freaks, nooo, Dean Stockwell for me. TMI? I'm new to this quizzing thing. How much is too much?" - [livejournal.com profile] celtic_cookie

"Ru Paul, also gave cross dressing advice during the episodes where Sam leaped into a woman's body." - [livejournal.com profile] chelanaudrah

"I call shenanigans. Gollum guided Sam, yes, but he was neither holographic nor Quantum of Solace. Although Daniel Craig hiking up Mount Doom leads to many wonderfully filthy jokes. Mmm." - [livejournal.com profile] speckled_llama

"I didn't know he had a name, but it has to be that guy that sits in between me and my boyfriend on the 'Haunted Mansion' ride. 'Don't close your eyes and don't try to hide' is damn right." - [livejournal.com profile] notaclue911

"Arnold J. Rimmer. He plays all holograms, even the doctor from the annoying Star Trek spinoff whose easily forgetable name I've forgotten." - [livejournal.com profile] thepikey, bitybastardbits.insanejournal.com, [livejournal.com profile] rivetkitten

(+1, Red Dwarf -B)

"Sorry, but I have a selective reading ability. You say "holographic", and the only thing I can think of is this." - [livejournal.com profile] gladdecease, [livejournal.com profile] phrench_phried
"Obi-Wan Kenobi, in full transparent sparkly-mode." - [livejournal.com profile] alabaster_demon

"Whats the deal with Scott Bakula. The guy … managed to make Star Trek boring." - [livejournal.com profile] tarpo

"I mean really. Is there anyone in Hollywood not named Gutenberg that is less a celeb?" - [livejournal.com profile] tarpo

(Scott Bakula can totally kick Steve Gutenberg's ass. -B)

(Scott Bakula is a weenie. That's right. I said it. -CV HATE. -LL&B)

If you use wikipedia or look it up inna book...I'll kill ya'.

"Lock, Stock, and Snatch (sounds like a weekend with my ex-wife)" - [livejournal.com profile] david_deacon

And that's the way it goes. The (ever-tenuous) theme this week was "stock", because nothing says theme like semi-topical events. Ironically, the Guy Ritchie/Madonna thing happened after we posted this quiz. That was not our fault. Sting's presence... well, ok, that might have been our fault. No dirty hippies were harmed in the making of this quiz, unfortunately. I'll try better next time.

Thanks again to all the new players and watchers; hope you enjoyed this week's offering, and of course we encourage you to stick around and play some more! Also, pimp the quiz out to your f-lists if you like it. Word of mouth is the way!

And extra thanks to our long-term guest moderator [livejournal.com profile] lovellama and our short-term guest moderator [livejournal.com profile] buzz! More special guest mods to come!

Rock On!

AL&CV&LL&B

One day, I will come up with genuinely funny answers.

Until that day, I should really just work on my spelling.

"I would invest in the cure for those poor emo kids who put on pants too tight and now cannot get out. Poor bastards might not ever get laid." - axfxn

(Do we actually want them to get laid and reproduce? Really? -CV)


Actually I would wonder about her wanting to give them The Cure. That seems like more punishment than the tight pants.

I say his victory was only temporary. Streisand will be back, and stronger than ever before.

Thank you, AL, for the LJDQ, not being a Flyers fan, and for not killing me for any of my puns. :P

Not even if he's right? After all,Enterprise made this dyed-in-the-wool Star Trek fan give up after season 1 ...

(Scott Bakula can totally kick Steve Gutenberg's ass. -B)

(Scott Bakula is a weenie. That's right. I said it. -CV HATE. -LL&B)

Just make sure it doesn't end up on Digg. Cause that would be weird.

(I like the dino touch in yours. ;)

Call Bakula a weenie all you want, that doesn't change the fact he can and will make Gutenberg HIS BITCH!

When in doubt, mix web comics with Joss Whedon. You cannot go wrong in that situation.
