"I was just telling my mom about this community and trying to explain the concept of a 'community' on LJ as she gave me a skeptical look. She asked whose community it was and I told her it was 'a couple of people. I don't know them. It's a public community, anyone can join.' She said, 'That's nice. Some communities are exclusive. Yours is open and affirming.'" - aki

And that might be the nicest thing anyone's ever said about us. But now, you've made us feel all guilty about being mean to people here. Can we be open, affirming, & vicious?

"OMGWTFBBQ! I can't think of any good answers to any of these. Nobody likes you and your mothers dress you funny. Arrrgh." - muzzyfeverlint

Whatever. Enough debating Quiz niceties; let's get on to some answers.

1. Who is playing in the Rose Bowl this year?

"What is The Rose Bowl? You really should have universally-friendly questions here... especially to start off with." - allieg

(That's probably true, allieg, but it's the end of the year, and I only have a few days left to get my mean on, and there you have it. I'll be nicer next year. -CV)

(He's lying. He won't be nicer ever. -AL&FR)

"I had a rose bowl once. It was all covered in tissue paper and somebody I'd previously had a good opinion of gave it to me for Christmas. It was full of chocolate, though -- that was good. After it was empty, we used it as a football for a while." - 3jane

(A very SHORT while. -AL)

"The Rose Bowl? What's that, some kind of flower garden? what plays in a flower garden?" - nihilistbear

"Rose Bowl? I know nothing about no stinking bowl of roses. Pansy pointy roses. I just insulted a rose by calling it another flower. Poor pansies, they have such a bad rap. What the hell does a pansy look like anyways? Jazz hands? Oh, I lost the question there." - nei_the_noodle

"The birds and the bees. Bees like to play in roses, right?" - kaptainsarcasm

"Football players. This is a football game, isn't it?" - linguafranca

(Your knowledge of at least that basic fact put you ahead of some of your fellow Quizlings, who knew not what sport the Rose Bowl concerns. -AL)

"Why would anyone care about any sport that isn't hockey?" - tarpo

(TONSIL hockey, man -FR)

"I'm privately ranting about the NHL lockout and can't concentrate." - silent_r_infork

"Rose Bowl....that's baseball, innit?" - stagemanager

"Well, no matter who's playing, GO SOX! WOOOOOOOOOOO!" - aki

(Lots of people didn't even really get the "sports" connection at all. -AL)

"I think Rose Red and Snow White are playing in the Rose bowl this year. I'd put my money on Rose red.. it's her bowl isn't it? And, this year, the bowl will be filled with mud, and Rose Red and Snow White will be wearing only what their mothers gave them!.." - wyldirishtric

(-1 for sexual fantasies involving fairy tale characters. Somehow, that's just wrong. -CV)

(Shut up and give me back my Ariel doll -FR)

"I think that it should involve sumo - sized wrestling fairies. With flowers in their hair. Yeah." - flysparrowfly

(.... -FR)

(Hang in there, FR. You get used to the gibberish after a while. -AL)

"I can tell you who's not playing in the Rose Bowl this year -- Janet Jackson's boob! It's the Superbowl or nothing, man! And no sharing screen time with that other boob, Justin Timberlake!" - mlewys

"you'd think a football game would have a manly name like the Hoover Rumble or something." uninhibitedmuse

"After playing 'Rose Parade: The Drinking Game' (drink every time a float uses decorative straw, drink when the marching band's out of step, drink if a horse relieves itself on camera) I'm in no condition to watch football." - sskipstress

(Or do anything other than pump your stomach, I imagine. -AL)

"Ethyl Merman and Bernadette Peters." - jmspencer

(Someone's been watching a bit too much Bad TV here. -CV)

(The question was about college football, OK? -AL)

Fuck it, I'm going to use this question to bitch about the lack of a playoff in college football." - portkey

"UPenn and Harvard. Since Harvard sucks, Penn will win. Hurray! Free shirts for all! (I'm sorry. I can't suck up to Cornell...my Fighting Quaker loyalty prevents me. *hugs Ben Franklin tight*)" - prettypinkkitty

(I will take this opportunity to point out that FIGHTING QUAKERS has got to be the most ridiculous mascot ever. FIGHTING QUAKERS. Think about it. -AL)

(No shit. What is that? Battle oatmeal? -FR)

"Michigan (Ya! GO BLUE!!!) vs. some stupid western team that's gonna lose. heheheheh." - miwseshat
"The University of Texas, where I'm currently going. Hook em' horns. Obviously they are playing somebody else, but that isn't important, they are just a mere formality." - mcclintock

(And in today's LJDQ Deathmatch Arena, miwseshat vs. mcclintock! -CV)

Correct Answer: University of Michigan vs. University of Texas

"A bunch of overpaid, steroid-chugging criminals" - lots42

(Wrong, and yet so very correct. Full credit. -CV)


2. Currently, it is the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese calendar. When is Chinese New Year this year, and what will it be the year of?

"Monkeys!! I like monkeys. Monkeys are funny" - marasca

(Yes. Yes they are. -CV)

"January 20th, and we get another four years of the Monkey." - beautyid

"April 1 begins the year of the Spanked Monkey." - krick

(I imagine that some people out there won't be waiting until April 1st. -AL)

(Shut up and give me back my Belle doll -FR)

(Some of you offered credit to a variety of other living creatures...)

"it will begin the Year of the Amoeba. Just because the amoeba cannot evolve, does not mean it is not special." - katiemariie
"it is the year of the Penguin. What? Penguins need love too!" - ellenneithernor

"Year of the Tsunami, apparently." - temima

(Let's hope not. One tsunami was more than enough, kthx. -AL)

"February 9th, Year of the Kentucky Fried Rooster" - conjurdude

"Next year is the Year of the Cock. ... I mean rooster. I totally meant rooster. _{Damn you, Freud.}" - vanbrosia

"The Year of the Rooster. But Year of the Cock is better. It sounds like there should be half-priced dildo sales all year." - whiski_sour

"February 9th is the first day of the new Chinese year. It's the year of the Rooster, the year Yiyou...and it's year 4702." - turgidnothings

(Sniff... sniff... ahhh, yes, the heady scent of a websearcher! For your crimes you must write "I promise not to use the intarweb to answer the LJDQ anymore" a thousand times. In Chinese characters. -CV)

(Web cheating - don't do it. Breaking the only rule we made for this Quiz makes the mods mad. -AL)

"The year of the... dagnabit. Dragon and Rabbit were both not too long ago. I'll say the year of the Rooster. It goes by 12s, right? And I'm a Rooster. So. Yeah. If it's not the Rooster than it's obviously the year of the Duck-Billed Platypus." - cloakedstoat

(Full credit, marsupials -FR)

"No idea, apparently I'm born in the year of the Rooster, according to the placemat at the chinese restaurant." - lynbug

(And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine example of the word 'irony'. -CV)

(Guess it's gonna be YOUR YEAR, lynbug! Make the most of it! -AL)

Correct Answer: The Year Of The Rooster, starting 9 February 2005


3. What exactly does 'auld lang syne' mean?

"is this more latin? YOU DID LATIN ETC TWO WEEKS OR SO AGO. GET OVER THE LATIN DAMMIT." - lucency

(It's far more obscure than Latin. -AL)

"I know a man. His name is Lang
And he has a neon sign
And Mr. Lang is very old
So they call it Old Lang's Sign" - jmspencer
"The sign in question said 'Free Whiskey'." - whiski_sour

"I think it means 'Old Lang Sang', and Old Lang is a relative of K.D. Lang who is very old and likes to sing." - kaptainsarcasm

"I drank what?" - jennnlee

"Thank god this year is over." - goat003

"I'm not sure, but I love Jesus. You can't fault me for lovin' Jesus, so I automatically get this question right. It's the Lovin' Jesus Daily Quiz, beeyotches." - silent_r_infork

(Hmmm... I think only one out of three LJDQ mods loves Jesus, so we're going to have to go with a big old -1 for you. -CV&FR)

"Old Gang Sign....wessssssssssst siiiiiiiiiiiiide!" - thinksheknowsya

"Lois Lane shows signs of aging with long boobies?" - wyldirishtric

(Now that's just plain mean. -CV)

"My whole life, I have never known what this song means. I mean, 'should old acquaintance be forgot.' Does that mean we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we do happen to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we forgot them -- maybe you're just supposed to remember you forgot them or something -- anyway, it's about old friends." - mlewys

(+1, When Harry Met Sally. -CV)

(On second thought, -1. That movie was lame-ass. -CV)

"Math is whack." - punch_drunk

(Spoken like a true Quizling. -CV)

"It's actually a medieval mathematical term meaning 8 natural log sine. Its equivilent is 0.036285134549452746622147302667677. (you can check it yourself on a calculator.)" - theworryrock

(I think it's also an old Gaelic phrase meaning Geek Of The Week, Lose One Point, Drink Up. -CV)

"It's actually a Scottish-based word scramble: 'U SLAY ENGLAND.' " - diimortales

"Get y'ur hands off'a my Guiness!" - akiyasan

"'Au' comes from the Latin for gold. 'LD' is obviously a reference to Learning Disabilites. 'Lang,' I'm sure you know, comes from the same root as 'language' and therefore means 'tongue.' And syne stems from a misspelling of sine, as in the mathematical quantity measuring the height of an angle on the unit circle, which comes from the latin word for 'fold.' So put it all together, and you get 'Gold Learning Disabled Tongue Fold.' It is therefore a very old reference to rich people who couldn't make taco shapes with their tongues." - cassandralupos

(And this week's LJDQ gruyere Award For Logic Renunciation goes to... cassandralupos! -CV)

(Dude, I'm so confused. -AL)

Correct Answer: "Old Long Ago"

"Who cares? We're all drunk when we're singing it, anyway." - abstruse_soul

"Hey, wait a minute. Wasn't this part of a past LJDQ? The 'Old' themed one? (Note that this doesn't mean I actually remember the answer; I'm just pointing out the repitition.)" - jelymo

(OK, so we've asked a question sort of like this before. We're not professional Quiz mods, you know. Sometimes we run out of original ideas & do a little question recycling. -AL)


4. In what classic science-fiction novel does the protagonist spend most of his time in the year 802,701?

"In the year 2525, if man is still alive... err... Gees, I can never remember lyrics past the first verse, so I don't know." - aki

"I'm sorry, I just don't read science fiction. I was turned off of it by that book by the same guy who wrote 'Tarzan' and is incredibly sexist. It was called The Princess of Mars and it freaking sucked." - kaptainsarcasm

(Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote Tarzan and A Princess of Mars. Science-fiction was different back then. -CV)

("Different", meaning "sucktastic". -AL)

"I know it's not by Jules Verne, but Jules Verne had some crappy books as well." - dracothelizard

(True. If he'd written this book, it might be something like...)

"Around the World in Approximately 292,294,555 Days" - turgidnothings

"I don't know but I'd like to read that! Most science fiction books only predict a future hundreds or a thousand year from now. I can't even imagine what things'd be like in 800,000 years from now." - punch_drunk

(It's not so hot. The future is full of hippies and goths. How bland. Right, mcclintock? -CV)

"Kinda like Californians and Mole New Yorkers." - mcclintock

(I'm sayin', bro! -CV)

"802, 701? That's not a year. That's one number shy of a booty call. Jeez. Remember when 1984 was the distant future?" - whiski_sour

"I know this! With the Morlocks and their gritty eating and the Elois and their blond bouncing around going 'yay! sun! omg!' Woo" - wyldirishtric

"Eloi vs. Morlocks! Who will survive! ...Well, the Morlocks I guess, but we won't tell the tourists, okay?" - drewbeartx

"Time Bandits." - miwseshat

"The War of the Invisible Time Machines." - kassandra05

(Effectively summing up all of H.G. Wells' major works in one sleek efficient title. Well-done. -CV)

"Ahh 802,701... the time when all the people wore skimpy clothes and spent all their times having orgies. Hey, that sounds like my life! Except not so much, dammit. I need more orgies." - kittenbabe

Correct Answer: The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells

"Made into a crappy movie, and then remade into a crappy movie. What are the odds?" - princesskraehe


5. The twelve days of Christmas end on January 6th, known as Three Kings Day. What were the names of the three kings in question?

(First off, the completely wrong ideas:)

"Elvis, Aragorn, and Stephen" - beautyid
"Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail" - jmspencer
"Elvis, Sting, and Nat." - miwseshat
"Chico, Harpo, and Groucho." - katiemariie
"Jack Daniel, Jim Beam, and Johnny Walker." - princesskraehe, mlewys
"Larry, Moe and Curly." - uninhibitedmuse, d4b, wyldirishtric
"Larry King, Don King, and Burger King" - whiski_sour
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego" - More of you than we would have expected
"George Clooney, Ice Cube, and Mark Wahlberg" - marasca, thinksheknowsya, kassandra05, lolafae, ajmcoqui
"Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman." - lots42
"Snap, Crackle, Pop" - turgidnothings (and no, you were the only one)
"Peter Paul and Mary" - lynbug

"King of Spades, King of Diamonds and King of Aces. The King of Hearts would've been there but he was too busy putting the smooth moves on that hot little Queen of Diamonds." - limegreen_sloth

"... the three wax kings are Prime Minister Tony Blair, The Duke of Edinburgh and US President George Bush:

Yeah, I want some of what they were smoking." - jamoche

"Actually, they were Queens. The texts were later redacted under the order of Pope Gregory the VII, because they thought that future generations might take issue with the fact that Baby Jesus was visited by three Persians in drag when he was only 12 days old. They definitely didn't make him cry." - flysparrowfly

"Gold, Frankenscence, and Myrrh. Oh, wait, that's what they brought. How is it a three-year-old knows what they brought to the baby Jesus, but they don't know their names? Oh, man, the commercialism of Christmas started REALLY early!" - twilight_angel

"Questions on Biblical/Christian kings two weeks in a row? Damn you and your oppressive Christianity! Keep it up, and I'm so going jihad on your asses." - b7cy

(In accordance with the new internet-usage guidelines issued by the US Department of Education, all quizzes will now include Christian material presented on an equal footing with scientific principles such as evolution & stem-cell research. -AL)

(Next, one out of three:)

"Balthazar, erm.... Ernest, uh, ...and BOB!!!" - seolta

"Balthazar, Bob, and Sir-Not-Appearing-In-This-Film." - kokopellinelli

"The only one I know is Balthazar" - drewbeartx

"The kings were...hmmm. Balthazar, Eliathazar, and...Mr. Miyagi(-azar?). Not many people know that Mr. Miyagi was the third king. He brought the gift of 'wax on, wax off' and taught the Baby Jesus mad karate skills, in the traditions brought by his ancestor to Okinawa. This explains Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter." - prettypinkkitty

(Now, two out of three:)

"Balthazaar, Melchior, and the other guy." - lotusbiosm

"I'm sure one also had the nickname of Balthazor and although Melchit? No, that can't be right." - verdandiweaves

(Well, ok, 1.5 out of three for her. -CV)

"Melchior, Balthazar, and D'Artagnan." - diimortales

"Casper, Balthazar, and Francisco." - cassandralupos

"Melchior, Balthazar, and... uh.
'King Number 3: What's the weirdest place you've ever made whoopie?'
'You mean, like, fucking?'" - linguafranca

(+1 for that wacky segue into The Dating Game. -AL)

"How many Larry, Moe, and Curly answers did you get? Or for that matter, Huey, Dewey, and Louie? Fools. We all know the answer is Balthazar, Casper, and The Other One." - jennnlee

(And finally...)

"this is rediculous. the NAMES of the KINGS? are the mentioned in ANY christmas song at all? lord no, they're just the 'three kings of bethlaham' sucks to be them. i wonder how many non-religion majors will get this. i bet a quarter on none." - lucency

(Dear lucency: You owe us one (1) quarter. - AL&CV&FR)

(You know, angledge told me, when I chose this question, "Hans, NOBODY is going to know that." And I replied, "We have some anime fans in here; they'll know the answer." And so I present to you...)

"Casper, Melchior, and Balthasar. Thank you, Neon Genesis Evangelion! I wonder how many other anime freaks will get this." - vanbrosia
"Balthazar, Casper and Melchior, and I know this because of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Yes, more anime references." - kaptainsarcasm
"It's sad that I know this because in Neon Genesis Evangelion they named the computers after the three wise men. Melchior, Gaspar, Balthazar" - mcclintock

(OK, I was wrong. I don't watch anime, so I had no idea they were such a bottomless fount of trivia knowledge. -AL)

"Ever notice the Bible is all about things coming in threes? Ok, seriously, it's Caspar, Melchar (sp?) and Balthazar." - conjurdude

"Melchior and Balthazar
Went upon a journey,
Went upon a journey,
Melchior and Balthazar
Went upon a journey far with king Kaspar.

When they came to Bethlehem,
They were very hungry.
Oh so very hungry.
When they came to Bethlehem,
They were just as hungry as they could be.

I'd share the other verses, but I can't remember them. And now I'm really worried about what it was they ate when they got to Bethlehem." - sskipstress

(Fortunately they did not get so hungry that they ate the Baby Jesus. That could have had profound repercussions... -CV)

Correct Answer: Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar

6. What is your New Year's Resolution?

"To remember last years resolution." - nekoama

(Well, that's one place to start. -AL)

"My New Year's Resolution is to have more sex this year than I had in the past three years combined." - sskipstress

(Funny, I say that every year. -CV)

(And you always FAIL! -FR)

"To spend endless amounts of time with Betty. Some folk say that Betty is my better half. Some folk say she is my heart and soul. Some folk say that she is the legs upon which I stand. Some folk say she is just my iPod. To each thier own. I folk say she is the best thing that ever happened to me. I folk say she is my iPod. I LOVE YOU, BETTY!!" - kaptainsarcasm

"I resolve to watch fewer teen melodramas." - katiemariie

(A lot of people need to make this resolution. OC watchers, I'm talking to you. -CV)

(*surreptitiously changing the channel* Uh, YEAH. -AL)

"This year I resolve to not kill members of my family in a bloody rampage for stealing the tv remote or playing the same song repeatedly." - meandstuff

(Playing the same song repeatedly is considered justifiable cause in 29 states now. -CV)

"My resolution in '04 was "No whores in '04", so in keeping with rhyming resolutions, "No talkin' jive in '05". I have a year to figure out something other than "dicks" for 2006." - silent_r_infork

"If I just resolve now to 'gain weight', I’ll have a better chance of achieving my resolution." - notpunk

"To study harder, to get out more, to be nicer, to control my temper, and to get a date from Angelina Jolie. All of those resolutions have the same chance of actually working!" - twilight_angel

"'I resolved to quit hiding my feelings so much! From now on, the world's gonna know exactly what I think of it!'
'Yes, you've certainly been the model of self-resraint and understatement up until now.'
'Well no more. And I've also resolved not to put up with sarcastic tigers.'
'If I see any, I'll tell them.'" - jacesan
"'I told dad that I wrote up some New Year resolutions. He said he was glad I was taking interest in some self-improvement. Then I said the resolutions weren't for ME, they were for HIM. That's why we're outside now.'
'I wondered what the rush, was.'" - vanbrosia

(+1 to each of you, Calvin and Hobbes. -CV)

"Stop procrastinating on LJ. Oops... too late." - ellenneithernor

"learning to say NO, and spending more time in bed!!" - seolta

(I think these two might counteract each other... -CV)

"Get caught up on my New Year's Resolutions for the past six years or so. No, I mean it this time." - cassandralupos

(Hey, there's no time like the present. Except maybe next year; that's a pretty good time. -CV)

"1152 x 864. It's a damn good resolution." - theworryrock

"More sex. More literature. More fun stripy socks!" - 3jane

Correct Answer: "To play LJDQ every week, even if I don't know the answers or can't come up with something clever" - froggie_girlkel

RIGHT ON, froggie_girlkel. We applaud you. And we wish all of you, wherever you are, a Happy New Year & a kickass start to 2005. Drink safely & take lots of photos! In fact, carrying on with last week's offer of +50 points for a photo, here's another: +50 points for any photos submitted that show drunken Quizlings. Remember to identify who's who in the photo!

Rock on,

AL&FR&CV.

[mlewys.livejournal.com]

I broke even. I can sleep now.

[roadparty.livejournal.com]

I think the Calvin and Hobbes answers should get at least a +5. But then again, what do I know? I slept through this week, apparently.

ahhh *quoted contentment*

"April 1 begins the year of the Spanked Monkey." - krick

Spank the Monkey! (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/spankmonkey.shtml)

Happy NY all.

Forty-Two!

[muzzyfeverlint.livejournal.com]

Does the quizling HAVE to be drunk? I'm underage. Then again, my age implies that I'm constantly drunk, or behave as such, regardless of whether I've actually ingested alcohol. Will a picture of a quizling being stupid while pretending to be inebriated suffice?

Re: Forty-Two!

[kassandra05.livejournal.com]

Ummmm, do you have permission to use that icon? It was my understanding that it was specifically made for a friend of mine. It wasn't supposed to be for public consumption.

good point - I forget how YOUNG some of you are

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Does the quizling HAVE to be drunk? I'm underage.

No, you don't have to be drunk. You just have to be having a good time on New Year's.

[gnomeprincess.livejournal.com]

Correct Answer: "To play LJDQ every week, even if I don't know the answers or can't come up with something clever"

See, I should have done that. But I was sooooo not feeling funny or clever. And when I submit I search for my name. And knowing I wouldn't make it if I submitted would mean the crushing disappointment of being so terribly unfunny as to not make it on LJDQ, which has become my lifes mission. Someday, somehow, I will gather enough people together in a group near my computer to come up with quotable answers for every question. For now I just have my kitties.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

And there's nothing wrong with kitties. They are soft and cuddly, and tasty treats to boot. But they're generally unhelpful at providing good quiz answers. We recommend relying on your inherent greatness. Much better than kittens.

(I will take this opportunity to point out that FIGHTING QUAKERS has got to be the most ridiculous mascot ever. FIGHTING QUAKERS. Think about it. -AL)

(No shit. What is that? Battle oatmeal? -FR)

Well, technically our mascot is Ben Franklin, who was our first ambassador to France, as well as a badass pimp (http://www.barracudamagazine.com/ben-franklin.htm). And I maintain that it's better than the Dartmouth Big Green. That makes me think of an advancing tide of algae, which, while very photosynthetic, is not quite that threatening.

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

"When word got out in Paris that Franklin had a weakness for pretty ladies, everywhere he went, mademoiselles presented themselves to have their neck kissed by the noble savage."

Hey, the man WAS pimp. Ben had it goin on fo reezy.

[gruyere.livejournal.com]

...I have an award named for me?

Sweet.

[angledge.livejournal.com]

Your renunciation of logic so perfectly captured the LJDQ ideal, it had to be commemerated with an award.

[turgidnothings.livejournal.com]

Does it count as web cheating if I had looked it up last week and had been spitting it at my friends since then, thereby memorizing it?

*sigh*

[angledge.livejournal.com]

A rules lawyer. No, it doesn't count. Go in peace.

"Around the World in Approximately 292,294,555 Days" - turgidnothings

that made me laugh. nice :)

[turgidnothings.livejournal.com]

:) Danke.

[aki.livejournal.com]

My mom got quoted. Beat that.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

We have a quizling and their mother quizling too? Wow... I guess now we can start using the slogan "LJDQ- Wholesome fun for the whole family!"

Fuck, I hate international keyboards and their crazy positioning of punctuation.

[krick.livejournal.com]

"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego" - More of you than we would have expected

I'd guess it has something to do with the fact that there's a catchy Beastie Boys track with lyrics involving Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego on the "Paul's Boutique" album (which happens to be their best album IMHO).

Or maybe people spent a lot of time at Vacation Bible School or something.

[lotusbiosm.livejournal.com]

See, my knowledge of them is due to VeggieTales, so that's Rack, Shack, and Benny. And the chocolate bunny.
"The bunny, the bunny, whoa I love the bunny."

OK, I'm done.

"I think that it should involve sumo - sized wrestling fairies. With flowers in their hair. Yeah." - flysparrowfly

Sparrow, doll, you should have told me that before the New Year's party; I could have seen what could be arranged. :-)


"More sex. More literature. More fun stripy socks!" - 3jane

I got so many pairs of socks for Christmas...each sock was individually wrapped. So many socks! *dies of sock happiness*

I also started off my new year by turning down sex. I feel this is a bad sign.
