Bastards out of California
(Oz Pathare, Richard Mason, Mariabeth Swiatek, Patrick Friel)
Get on the Bus Trash Tossups
1. It's so obvious! His real name is ValJoe, and he won the 1996
National Championships, spelling his nickname with a cute little "i."
Long-time partner Kristi Yamaguchi dumped him to go to the 1992
Olympics solo -- no reprise of "The Cutting Edge" there. In recent
performances, he carried a rainbow flag and stripped to his underwear
from a sailor suit during a Village People medley. For ten points,
name this figure skater who played himself on "Will and Grace," where
he was known as "the gay one."
answer: Rudy (Rudi) _Galindo_
2. Val Kilmer plays "the Mentor," who generally appears to counsel
Clarence in the bathroom, and who bears a suspicious resemblance to
Elvis, with whom Clarence would have sex, if he HAD to have sex with a
guy. After falling in love with Alabama, Clarence kills her pimp,
but by stealing a suitcase full of cocaine, brings the Mafia after
them both. For 10 points--identify this movie with Christian Slater
and Patricia Arquette, a script that Quentin Tarantino sold in order
to finance ~Reservoir Dogs.~
answer: _True Romance_
3. Top scorers include Gilbert Dionne, Steve Maltais, and Brian
Wiseman. Perhaps one of their teams will capture the Turner Cup, won
last year by the Chicago Wolves. Other teams include the Cincinnati
Cyclones and the Utah Grizzlies. Of the 16 teams in the league, only
the Manitoba Moose hail from outside of the US, making the league's
name a little strange. FTP, name this league, home of the Orlando
Solar Bears and Long Beach Ice Dogs, one of America's finest
second-tier hockey leagues.
answer: _International Hockey League_ or _IHL_
4. It's phone number 718 498 ten-43. Ask for Janice. It has the
"best in men's clothing" and it's in Brooklyn. This is what we're led
to believe by track 14, on an album of the same name. Other tracks on
the album include "5-Piece Chicken Dinner," "The Sounds of Science,"
"Johnny Ryall," and "Shadrach." For ten points, identify this
sample-heavy 1989 album recorded by the Beastie Boys.
answer: _Paul's Boutique_
5. In the game of seduction, there is only one rule: never fall in
love. So goes the pitch for this movie, an update of an classic
French novel twice adapted in the 1980s. The connection is made
painfully obvious by the male lead's name of Valmont. The plot
revolves around a bet: if a certain virgin cannot be bedded, Kathryn
wins a Porsche; if she can, Sebastian wins Kathryn. For ten points,
name this film, opening this weekend, starring Reese Witherspoon,
Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe.
answer: _Cruel Intentions_
6. While this show ran from 1986 to 1995, only its top star remained
on board, with others coming and going. Longtime costars included
Julie Sommars as Julie March and Clarence Gilyard Jr. as Conrad
McMasters. Other costars included Linda Purl as Charlene and Michael
Durrell as the DA, not to mention the natural costar Don Knotts as Les
Calhoun. FTP, name this long-running crime show, beloved by old
people worldwide, starring Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock.
answer: _Matlock_
7. He was played on TV by Danny Wells, while John Leguizamo took on
the role in the film. He is often depicted as being a bit taller than
his brother, and he has a penchant for dressing in green, while his
brother prefers red. He was introduced to the public several years
after his brother, and given the name by which they are collectively
known, he can never attain the same status of his brother. FTP,
identify this pizza maker and underappreciated Mario Brother.
answer: _Luigi_
8. In the Mabinogion, it was a peace offering by Bran and Branwen to
the Irish king Matholwch, but when war eventually broke out anyway,
the Irish used it to replenish their armies. Efnisien destroyed it by
feigning death and being thrown into it alive. For 10
points--identify this zombie-creating item of Welsh mythology, the
title object of a 1985 Disney movie and a children's fantasy novel by
Lloyd Alexander.
answer: _The Black Cauldron_ (accept just _cauldron_ before "title")
9. Elena dumped Blair when he kissed Tara. Ben made the swim
team. Javier and his boyfriend moved to Pamplona. Julie interned at
Carol's firm hoping she was her birth mother. A truck ran over Todd
Mulcahey while he courted the title character, who recently got naked
in the art studio with Eli, while her boyfriend and R.A. Noel was
getting it on with ex-girlfriend Hanna. For ten points, these events
occurred on what WB series starring Scott Foley and Keri Russell?
answer: _Felicity_
10. Okay, so you've got a car. Okay, so you're Brad Pitt. Okay, so
you're a rocket scientist. Okay, so what do you think you are, Elvis
or something? You may have the brains, the looks, and the moves, but
you may not have the necessary "touch" for the difficult task of
winning over Shania Twain in--for 10 points--what song from the album
~Come on Over~?
answer: _That Don't Impress Me Much_
11. She recently donated 50% of the profits of her teen cosmetics
line, designed by her daughter Bianca, to Teens Against Addiction.
Soon after, as a result of a car accident, her lung and aorta were
pierced by a piece of wire and her face grossly disfigured, making it
unlikely that she will return to her post as host of WRCW's Pine
Valley-based hit talk show, 'The Cutting Edge.' For ten points, name
this former supermodel played by All My Children star Susan Lucci.
answer: _Erica Kane_
12. After a 1991 auto accident that instantly killed passenger
defenseman Kirile Tasarov, Russian doctors were bribed with $25,000
and a Chevrolet Caprice to diagnose him with permanent brain damage,
whereupon he was released from the Red Army and went to Detroit for
"treatment." Sometimes obscured by other members of the Russian Five,
what left wing--for 10 points--has repeatedly shone in playoff scoring
for the Red Wings?
answer: Vyacheslav (Slava) _Kozlov_ (do not accept Viktor Kozlov)
13. The Joy of Cooking suggests you feed it on milk and cereal for ten
days, then kill it and boil it unskinned until the hair is easily
scraped off. Parboil, roast, and serve with turnip greens. Less
fancy recipes suggest you scare it, hit it over the head, marinate in
soy sauce (or radiator coolant, if you live in Kentucky), and cook
over burning tires for added flavor. For ten points, drive around in
your truck for a while and you're sure to nab at least one of what
North American marsupial?
answer: o_possum_
14. While questioning people in an underworld bar, he breaks a man's
fingers one by one, then leaves the human cockroaches to their heroin
and their child pornography. He hides in a refrigerator to jump out
at a suspect. When the police come for him he sets one on fire with a
can of hairspray and shoots another with a grappling gun. In prison
he electrocutes one of the Big Figure's henchmen, then kills the Big
Figure, each time using only a toilet. For 10 points--identify this
brutally inventive vigilante superhero from Alan Moore's ~Watchmen~,
whose mask is a shifting blotchy pattern of black and white, into
which you may read whatever meaning you choose.
answer: _Rorschach_
15. Hey ladies! Have you ever had a man go away for business and come
back with a tan? If not, here's another example of how another
brother can trample -- ruin your life, sleep with your wife; and
there's the girl who, when her boyfriend asks if he was the first,
says "Yo, why do you guys always ask that?" For ten points, these
scenarios, along with an incident at the crib involving drinking cocoa
on a bearskin rug, constitute what set of thought-provoking events,
according to a 1991 C&C Music Factory hit?
answer: _Things that Make You Go Hmmm..._
16. The stars of silent films such as "Little Neddy Goes to War," they
were fired by producer Harry Flugleman and forced to seek work elsewhere.
For one hundred thousand pesos, they flew a Tuppin 601, crashed a birthday
party with a plethora of pinatas and sewed like the wind to save the village
of Santa Poco from the evil El Guapo. For ten points, name this trio
whose members Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms and Ned Nederlander, starred in
another silent film, "Amigos, Amigos, Amigos."
answer: The _Three Amigos_
17. Jenna Stannis was a smuggler. Olag Gan was a murderer. Vila
Restal was a thief. Kerr Avon was a computer criminal. Roj was a
political prisoner. They were all headed for the penal colony on
Cygnus Alpha, but they escaped and hooked up with Cally, a telepathic
resistance fighter, and a computer called Zen, and waged war on the
evil Federation with their spaceship ~Liberator~. For 10
points--identify this title septuplet of a 1978-1981 BBC science
fiction show.
answer: _Blake's Seven_
18. This website's top 40 includes Wassily Leontief, Naomi Mitchison,
Sara Delaney, Jerry Quarry, Doug Wickenheiser, King Hussein, Dusty

three thousand dollar Celebrity Dead Pool contest, entered by
predicting those most likely to die in 1999?
answer: _stiffs.com_ (prompt on early "Dead Pool")
19. The fast way involves ammonia and the explosive ethyl ether, but
it's safer just to mix two parts hydrochloride with one part baking
soda in twenty milliliters of water. Heat gently until precipitates
form and you hear a characteristic noise. Dry the precipitate under a
heat lamp for twenty-four hours and you have what street drug, not to
be confused with pecan pie?
answer: _crack_ cocaine (also accept _freebase_)
(Moderator note: after this final tossup, do not read the next bonus
