First, the obligatory game of "Guess That Theme!"

"I think the theme is sex. But I might just be lonely..." - _lucy_

"The only theme I can find is Ang. But that really doesn't mean anything... Unless its someone's name...?" - naturalredhead

(It's SOMEONE's name, all right. -AL)

"Things that start with Ang??? Do they all end in Chaos?" - doomgirl

(Yes indeed, Ang is in fact the theme of the week. angledge, in particular. It's her birthday! Well, it was, two days ago. But it warranted a good theme. Good enough to confuse most of you, apparently. You all thought angels. How little you know about her... -CV)

"Wonder if angledge would like an angelfish for her birthday. If she isn't much of an angler, she can get one at the pet store." - sskipstress

(You know what I want for my birthday from you all? Comments in my personal LJ. I am a complete comments whore, & a few dozen comments would make my week. -AL)


1. Name the song and band!
“I still love you, baby
Ev’rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain’t a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby, dry your eyes”

"As I've done my homework on the LJDQ (aka procrastinated from housework by reading the answers to past quizzes), I feel confident in guessing these lyrics are from Some Song With A Variation of Angie/Angela In Its Title, that undoubtedly topped the charts in whatever year it was released, by The Police. As I've long been acquainted with bitter irony, I also feel confident that my guess is not, in fact, correct." - serrico

(Quarter credit for title. +1, researching old quizzes. +10%, Sting. +10%, guessing that your guess was a wrong guess. Total score: 1.5125. Not a bad start. -CV)

(You're going to make this your first comment of the Answers? Dude, all the numbers are just going to confuse them again. -AL)

"Probably Sting, but I'll guess:
" - djdysfunction

"Isn't that a Gwar song?" - fizrep

"'Baby I know I slept with your slutty best friend, but it just shows how much I love you!' by 'nihilistbear's ex who now sings soprano may he rot in a special hell along with my slutty best friend'" - nihilistbear

(+1, extreme bitterness. -AL)

"Angel Eyes' by Lying Bastard Who's About to Break her Heart" - marasca

(I see you know nihilistbear's ex. -CV)

"That has to be 'The song your parents always played in the car on long trips and you wished to god they'd turn it off because, inevitably, it would get stuck in your head for the entire vacation.'" - purple_roses

(I don't know, my parents used to play Willie Nelson & Patsy Cline in the car. Oh yeah, & Kenny Rogers. No wonder I hate cars so much. -AL)

"I don't know the name of this song. And I don't really want to know. They used 'ain't' so it's probably some country western song. And that just ain't right." - dancingsaracen

(Like I already told all y'all, there ain't no bias at the LJDQ 'bout regional accents. So shut up & git back t'Quizzin'. -AL)

"'Don't Believe Everything I Say' by Pathological Liar" - spacenut3737

"Green Day, American Idiot. Because guys are poos. And so are girls. They're all poos. On the other hand, casual sex between friends can be *great* stress relief." - sasscat

(This is a completely wrong answer, but one that contains helpful advice. -AL)

"It's obviously George Michael or Elton John. Or a duet between George Michael and Elton John." - _lucy_

(I don't remember either one of them being part of this band. In fact, they are kind of the anti-band for the Correct Answer band. -AL)

"It sounds cheesy, so I'll guess Hootie and the Blowfish." - jacesan

"Hey, no fair asking a question that no one under the age of 16 can answer. *g*" - ktnb

(If I'm old, everyone's being old with me. Fair is fair. -AL)

"Probably some band from the seventies with long hair and awful mustaches." - pisica

"I can sing it. I think." - yueni

(LJ Phone Posts - a new venue for karaoke? I think so! -AL)

"I have no idea, but if you look everywhere and see eyes.. You're probably on that island with all the pretty people that crashed in the airplane." - jacy_

(Polar bears? Polar bears? Come on now.
-CV)

"'Angie Baby' Helen Reddy, ca 1970-something. (No? Well, it fits with the theme, so I declare it's correct. So there.)" - stagemanager

(-5, attempting to usurp moderators' power to judge between Right and Wrong. -AL)

"This happens when your favorite pair of docs slowly deteriorate and you come to the realization that you will finally have to buy a new pair after 14 years and, unfortunately, 8-eyelet green docs are not easy to find in the general public." - the_headhunter

(My Docs are dissolving after only TWO years. A word to describe how I feel about this is ANGRY. -AL)

"My angledge is a Centerfold." - crostfingrs

"Angy by teh rolling0rz st0norz!!1!" - abstruse_soul

"Angie – The Rolling Stones. Most likely written about his daughter, Angela (born in 1972). Though it would be very cool if it was written about angledge." - m31andy

(And what if his daughter & angledge were one & the same person? How cool would THAT be? It would be very cool. Because if Mick Jagger were my dad, I'd be all sorts of rich & famous. -AL)

(And you'd have some big fucked up lips. -CV)

Correct Answer: "Angie" by The Rolling Stones

"Its Angie by the Rolling Stones, but honestly you haven't heard this song until you've heard Tori Amos do it." - richcsigs

"'Angie', by the Stones. Damn you, I had to Google that." - kleenexwoman

(Naughty naughty, using teh g00gle. You are sentenced to 12 hours of listening to Rolling Stones music sung by Hanson. -CV)

(Web Cheating: don't do it. It's basically our only rule. -AL)

"That feeling you get immediately before and after a test when you look down at the page and go 'Uh. What in the hell is a hypergeometric probability distribution?' and 'Was I even supposed to know how to pronounce that thing?'" - yueni

(Math tests rarely grade on pronunciation, but somehow I imagine that isn't a comfort to most of our number-phobic Quizlings. -AL)

"constipation." - jacesan
"Incontinence." - purple_roses

(This just goes to show that everyone's depression can have different root causes. -AL)

"Parenthood?" - portkey

(Thankfully, neither moderator can comment with personal knowledge on whether "parenthood" is an acceptable synonym for the Correct Answer. -AL)

"American election" - verdandiweaves

"Who cares what it is called, we just know mr. Zoloft blob fixes it.

- deinemuse

"Wow, pre-date and post-date feelings in one word!" - spacenut3737

(One magical happy word. -CV)

"As in, 'My teenage angst has a body count.'" - crostfingrs

(Funny, I wouldn't have picked you as a From First to Last fan. -AL)

"Angelic. Well, that's the feeling I get anytime I try to be angelic, anyway." - calankh

"Catwoman" - sennical

"I dunno, but I bet it's hard to pronounce. I probably can't spell it either." - whiski_sour

3. Who was the white-clad one-eyed agent who gave assignments to String and Dom in “Airwolf”?

(Bonus question: Who's the guy who did not foresee the legions of penis jokes that this question would generate? Answer: chaosvizier, of course.)

"Insert obvious penis joke here." - richcigs

(Oh, they did. Believe me. -CV)

"The One-Eyed Monster?" - _lucy_

"For a second I thought this was a Sting question, and I was lining up hilarious retorts in my mind. Then I realized it wasn't. Damn!" - xgreenjudasx

"Odin? Torak? Polyphemos? Number Two?" - fyreflyblue

(Two gods, one cyclops, and a sidekick villain from Austin Powers movies. One of these things is not like the other. -CV)

"WTF is Airwolf? Part of that stupid AirBud movie franchise? I didn't realize he had cousins who also play sports." - jelymo

"I'm guessing Airwolf is a TV show?" - calankh

"'Airwolf'?!? Is that the silly helicopter show that Jan-Michael-I'm-too-cool-for-just-two-names-and-one-of-those-is-a-girl's-name-Vincent used to be in?" - jacesan

"
He has a glass black eye." - deinemuse

(WTF is up with that swirling pastel background? Is this a hippie ghost or something? -AL)

"The description makes me think of the KKK, which is probably not the answer." - sennical

"What immediately comes to mind is hot hot hot (and deadly, hence hot) Darryl Hannah in that little nurse's uniform in Kill Bill, but I don't think that has anything to with Airwolf..." - marasca

"Airwolf? Holy shit. I think I watched Airwolf once. That was the one with Jan Michael Vincent right? I saw him in a really cheesy movie called 'Defiance' that my mom loved for some reason. Bad movie. Probably about as bad as Airwolf. Thanks for dusting off that memory. I'll keep my eyes open next week for some cool 'Remington Steel' or 'Hart to Hart' questions." - djdysfunction

Correct Answer: Michael Archangel

"*snort* You're assuming that I watched the show for anything other than lusting after Jan Michael Vincent." - the_headhunter

(For those of you who had no clue what was happening in this question, Airwolf was a TV show that ran from 1984 to 1986. It was like Knight Rider with a badass helicoptor, instead of a talking car. -AL)



4. One of Hollywood’s craziest leading hotties, name the actress who recently divorced Billy Bob Thornton.

(How many quizlings would like to have sex with Angelina Jolie, should have been the question. -CV)

" - the_headhunter

(Very nice. +1. -CV)

"I watched Girl Interrupted the other night...whew...girlfriend is a freeeeeak." - bummerfly

"Pulmonary edima. See? The theme is sex." - _lucy_

(WARNING: sex with _lucy_ is apparently bad for your heart. -AL)

(Make it an arcane lecture on cardiology just to complete their disappointment. -AL)

"Angina, not to be confused with Vagina." - marasca

(Usually they're distinguishable. -AL)

"Angina. A Queen’s heart pain is therefore Regina’s angina and I’m so not going down the route of working out what vagina’s angina means – not when I’m obviously watching too much CSI." - m31andy

"Jewish guilt." - stagemanager

"now I am obsessed with the thought of those little balloonie things that they stick into your arteries to push all of the globbies out of the way so that your blood can move again.

"We're not on speaking terms. Haven't been since that unfortunate incident back in '97." - whiski_sour

"Usually I let the two bitch-fight and listen to whoever wins. After all, violent combat is the best form of argument." -vanbrosia

(That's the same method CV & I use to settle differences of opinion here at the LJDQ. Sucks for me that he's a karate instructor. -AL)

"Depends on which one gets stuck in traffic." - sennical

"Depends on which one is going to be more fun." - naturalredhead

(-1 to each of you for situationally dependent morality. Go sit on the bus next to fizrep over there. -AL)

"I tend to listen to my chocolate angel." - richcsigs

"nothing that 'angel'a ever says..." - mshenzi

(You are either rabidly anti-consumerist or suffering from an extremely funny typo. -AL)

"I listen to whichever angel is buying my drinks that night." - sskipstress

"Well, Smurfistopheles here on the left has such better style. I think I'll have to go with the bad boy in red here.
" - dougygyro

This week's geeks just weren't geeky enough. Just didn't cut the mustard. Substandard. Below the mean. Or, in language everone undersands, "sux0r". I'm sure they'll do better next week.

And the language was pretty tame. Even the Grand Master of Profanity, djdysfunction, was on good behavior this round. Most uncanny.

[marasca.livejournal.com]

What the fuck are you talking about, you feces eating mother fucker?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Too fucking late for your application this round, fucktard! Better luck next fucking time!

[fizrep.livejournal.com]

Re: so glad you asked
