Love! Love love love love love! If you want to, you can blame this theme on angledge, who is all crushed out on her new girlfriend. Or you can blame chaosvizier, who is also in a happy relationship at this time. If you like, you can blame chlaal, but she's more wrapped up in motherly love right now & that really doesn't affect any of you. In any case, our theme was love & hoo boy, was it unsubtle. It could only have been LESS subtle if your Quizmasters had dressed up as adorable little cherubs, firing Arrows of Love at you all across the Intarweb.

Yecch, that thought is appalling. Here are the Answer in lieu of the brain bleach you really need.

1. In which Aerosmith song can one live it up when one is going down?

"Am I the only one who sings that song when alone in an elevator? Somehow, I doubt it." - cjtremlett

"Cheney's got a gun." - uncut_diamond, elbiesee

(Ooooh, clever & political & timely! I'm even willing to overlook the pun. Good show! -AL)

"I dunno, the prospect of going down on a member of Aerosmith hardly qualifies as 'living it up' in my book, unless the Dude Looks Like a Lady. More like Crazy, mainly because I figure that they're so Jaded, their Sweet Emotions unable to be expressed due to the Bacon Biscuit Blues. Besides, Falling In Love (is hard on the knees)..." - tall_man

"For Christmas when I was 14, my parents bought Aerosmith tickets so I went to the show with them and my brother. This is when I discovered that cool parents means Awkward Moments. They got drunk and started making out. Right there. In public. And they left 'to get more drinks' when 'Love in an Elevator' started and my head exploded." - morganashkevron

(You ... don't happen to have a sibling who's 15 years younger than you, do you? -AL)

"I've never actually had love in an elevator, so I'd like to extend an open invitation to a LJDQette to rid me of this vertical virginity." - fizrep

(I'm telling your girlfriend. -AL)

"Steven Tyler scares the living daylights out of me. So does Mick Jagger, come to think of it. I guess scraggle-faced big-lipped classic rockers should be added to my list of phobias." - babybokal

(You & me both. - AL)

"Workin' like a dog on an answer (WHOA)
Workin' on the Daily Quiz (WHOA, YEAH)
Bein' right and bein' funny (WHOA)
Looks easier than it is (WHOA, YEAH)

Gotta get my answer right
It's a test that I've got to pass
If I don't get quoted by Monday night
Then kiss my sassafrass!" - peaseblossom03

"What the hell is a 'sassafrass', anyway?" - the_zaniak

(Sassafrass is a kind of tree. But in this song, it's a sneaky way to say "ass" on the radio without bringing the FCC down on your head. -AL)

"I grew up in Marshfield, MA, home of Steven Tyler. One year he went to the community christmas house on the fairgrounds with his son, and the little old man working there thought he had come in to take a donation. He's really small and gross looking. And felt up my stepsister's pregnant belly last summer. She was starstruck. I've seen him buy toilet paper, I wasn't impressed." - sporkninja

"Bit of advice kids--don't ever actually do this unless you know damn well that the elevator is NOT going anywhere. There are few things more embarrassing than having the doors pried open to reveal your in flagrante selves to the entire dorm. The firemen rescuing us were amused, though. One of them had a camera." - deza

"Love in One of Those Beamer Things from Star Trek" - jrho

Correct Answer: "Love in An Elevator".

"Aaaaaaah it's stuck in my head noooooowwwwww" - profsparky

2. Name the actress and the movie:
"The reign of Christian terror is over. We're going back to our roots. We are porn again."

"Hahahaha! I wish!" - nunshavingfun

(Somehow, your username makes your answer ten times funnier. -AL)

"I like the idea of being Porn Again." - azure_dragon, sporkninja

"I once had a huge porn collection but I was forced to give it up... but hallelujah, praise Hugh Heffner, I have seen the light, I have come back to Porn!!! Say Amen with me brothers and sisters... mostly the sisters though." - pheltzer

"Cate Blanchett, upon viewing LOTR slashfic on the net." - rickybuchanan

"How Porn Got Its Groove Back." - scifantasy

"Well, with the clues of 'porn' and 'love', I'm going to guess Linda Lovelace for the actress, Then the 'we are porn again' reminds me of 'we are borg', so I'm thinking the movie is something like 'Star Trek, Deep Throat Nine.'" - miss_katelynne

(Once again, the use of logic gets a Quizling nowhere. -AL)

"Good grief. WTF does Larry Flynt have to do with love? I've had stories published in Hustler before--trust me, there is no love involved. Bondage, underage sex, dominance issues but no love." - deza

(It's a two-part answer. The first part of the answer ties directly to the theme. The porn reference was just an added bonus, y'know? -AL)

"Did she really say Porn again? Did someone misspell that? Does it involve the pornographic bible? Can I watch the movie?" - mshenzi

(Yes, no, no, sure what else is Netflix for? -AL)

"Whenever it's the end of a long night out and my hair is a little wild and my lipstick and eye make-up is a bit disheveled and smeared I call it my Courtney Love look. I don't know if she is the answer to this question, but it seemed like a good a time as any to share." - angelchicken

Correct Answer: Courtney Love in The People vs. Larry Flynt.

"L! is for the way you'll lose to me!

I say, as a woman, you really don't have to put yourselves through the wringer. I'm sure I speak for most, if not all, women when I say we'd be perfectly happy with changing February 14th to 'Chocolate and Cunnilingus Day'.
