Thanks to all those who participated in the TV Challenge, Max and Caishe both got all 20 of them. Unbelievable! Even my couch potato sister Che didn’t get that many!
Here are the answers for those who are interested.
1)When The Funk Hits the Fan
2)Republican

14)Alderman/woman (I also accepted city council)
15)Jaleesa’s Breast Milk
16)Stan
17)Mayday
18)Penguins
19)14 (this was the toughest question, because when the show actually started he was 16, but in the newspaper clips they show at the beginning they say he actually finished med school at age 14…I accepted both though)
20)She’s shot by her father’s hitmen at an intersection when they mistake her for him (poor Noxeema girl!!!!)
So anyway I was challenged on Soul City to do a movie challenge since “real men” watch movies. You may remember the last movie challenge, which got me REALLY angry when someone posted the answers in the comments after I went through great pains to request that the answers be e-mailed!
At any rate, the same rules as yesterday apply! I switched the format up from the last time, instead of telling me who said the quote you have to answer some question about the plot/details of the movie. Bon Chance! (some of these questions contain spoilers if you haven’t seen the movies, be warned)
1) In Jackie Brown, what does Jackie put under the beach towels in lieu of money in the bag intended for Ordell?
2) In Kill Bill, Vol. 1 what is the name of the car that the Bride obtained from “Buck who likes to fuck”?
3) In Apocolypse Now what song is played over the loud speakers of the helicopters when Kilgore’s (Robert Duvall) troop flies overhead in a raid?
4) In Baby Boy what does Sweetpea say he’s going to start referring to women as instead of bitches?
5) In Halfbaked, what does Kenny do for a living before he’s thrown in jail for feeding Buttercup (Butterstuff…Butternuts) the diabetic horse and killing him?
6) In Goodfellas, what field does Henry tell Karyn that he’s in when they first start dating?
7) In There’s Something About Mary, what does Tucker (the dude with the crutches) really do for a living?
In Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, how does Ferris turn off the stereo playing the loud sleeping noises at the end of the movie when his parents are about to come into his room?
9) In A Nightmare on Elm Street, what part of Nancy’s body is burned when she falls asleep in class?
10) In House Party, what movie does Pops rent for he and Kid to watch?
11) In Pulp Fiction, what did Antoine “Tony Rocky Horror” Rocamora supposedly do according to Jules to warrant being thrown out of a window?
12) In Boyz In The Hood, what crime is young Doughboy arrested for at the beginning of the movie?
13) In Mo’ Better Blues, what sport does Giant like betting on that gets him (and Bleek) beat up?
14) In Jungle Fever, what does Gator tell his mother when she asks what happened to the TV?

I fully expect Geoff to get every single one of these. They are actually too easy! At any rate, mail the answers to me at calvin@killacal.net!
Answers tomorrow, and bonus points if you can tell me what the subtitle (electric boogaloo) is a reference to!
By the way check out the new link on the side, Bomani Jones. He’s a writer who was at CAU at the same time as I was attending Morehouse. His quiz bowl team bested us the first year I played Honda and went on to win the national title.

Argh! You had questions on shows that were popular in the 80s…when I was a kid. I thought I did pretty good considering.
And forget this movie challenge…I’d be lucky to get one right.
You suck.
