Singdown Category: Songs by Michael Jackson
Toss-Ups:
 
1. These two villains of Spider-Man were always the most confusing to me. They basically
looked the same, acted in the same sociopathic way, were extremely evil, and pretty
much had the same name. For QTP, name these bad guys, at least one of whom had a habit
of blowing things up with pumpkins.
 
_Green Goblin_ and _Hobgoblin_
2. Modern sports includes relocating teams, it's a fact of life.  Money hungry owners shaft the

40,000 empty seats in, for ten points, the stadium of what NFL team, scheduled for relocation to
Nashville in 1998.

5. During the Atlanta Olympics, the 200 meter/400 meter gold medal double was much discussed.

However, he was not the first person to do it, or even the first person to accomplish the feat on
that particular evening.  For ten points, name the French female who accomplished the tail end of
her double gold performance amid much less media attention.
Marie-Jose _Perec_
6. Here's an idea, I'm gonna start up a magazine. I'm basically rip off MAD, but hire
worse writers, and artists devoid of talent. Best of all, we're going to hit the height of
popularity in the Mid-nineteen eighties. For ten points give me the name of the magazine,
where we have a blond, slacker janitor, instead of Alfred E Newman. 
_Cracked_
  
7. After a promising 1994 World Cup, the U.S. was looking for a trip to the second round of the

accomplished this feat?

_Jem_ and the Holograms
10. In September, Paul Molitor became the 21st person to achieve 3,000 career hits.  He was the
5th person to do it this decade, so the fans are used to this feat.  However, Molitor was the first
man to get his 3,000th base hit, for ten points, with what kind of base hit?
_Triple_
11. This movie and TV personality pre-empted a scandal a few years ago by coming clean about a
28 month federal prison stay at the dawn of the 80's after he was convicted for selling cocaine. 
For ten points, name this former drug dealer turned jolly Christmas hero and TV tool man.
Tim _Allen_
 
12. The walk of shame, dunce's corner, brainstorm, and the cylinder of shush are all part of a new

sci-fi flick starring Sam Jones, Timothy Dalton, Topol, Brian Blessed, and Max Von Sydow?
_Flash Gordon_
16. "Pop culture has turned the brain into the body's new appendix - no real function, and it could
quite possibly blow up and kill you.  As organs go, you just don't need your brain anymore".  This
incredibly well-timed quote was brought to you from a 1996 book by an author who has an
opinion and could be wrong.  For ten points, name the Emmy award winning host and author of
The Rants.
_Dennis Miller_
17. When one of the premier bands of the 80's took a hiatus in the middle of their glory years,
three of its members recorded under another name and managed a couple of hit singles.  The
original band reformed, and the success of the trio was all but forgotten.  The band was Duran
