Digest for rec.games.trivia@googlegroups.com - 16 updates in 5 topics

msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 04 10:09PM -0500

These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-23,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
 
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days (from the first posting).
 
All questions were written by members of MI5, and are used here by
permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped
and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
 
 
* Game 10, Round 9 - Entertainment - Child Stars Who Made Good
 
Earlier this season we did bad marriages and relationships and badly
behaving athletes, and we all know about the child stars who became
train wrecks later in life. So for contrast, here's a round about
child stars who turned out pretty well. In each case, name them.
 
1. At 13, this Welsh-born actor played the starring role in "Empire
of the Sun". As an adult, he has played an "American Psycho"
and an "American Hustle"r, a super-skinny "Machinist", and Moses.
His stepmother is Gloria Steinem.
 
2. As a 5-year-old, this actor was kicked off "Romper Room" for
being too disruptive. At 16, he was cast as a homeless boy on
the sitcom "Growing Pains". As an adult, he has played Romeo,
Howard Hughes, and J. Edgar Hoover.
 
3. At 12, this actress played Bette Midler's character as a
young girl in "Beaches". In real life, she has a doctorate in
neuroscience, and now on TV she plays a dowdy neurobiologist
pining for an oddball theoretical physicist.
 
4. As a teen, this actor starred as "Doogie Howser M.D." As an
adult, he played Barney Stinson on TV, Hedwig on Broadway,
and a fictionalized version of himself with Harold and Kumar.
He was the host of the 2015 Oscars.
 
5. At 11 this actress starred in "Road to Avonlea". As an adult,
she has continued acting and has directed two movies, "Away
from Her" and "Take This Waltz", and a documentary, "Stories
We Tell", about her mother's affair with her biological father.
 
6. At 12, this actor appeared as an orphan boy adopted by the
Ingalls family on "Little House on the Prairie". As an adult,
he appeared in "Arrested Development", and in the movies "Juno"
and "Couples Retreat". Canadian content: he is married to
Paul Anka's daughter.
 
7. At 12, this actor starred alongside Hugh Grant in "About a Boy".
As an adult, he has played a romantic zombie in "Warm Bodies",
"Jack the Giant Slayer", and Beast in a couple of X-Men movies.
Until August 2014, he was Jennifer Lawrence's boyfriend.
 
8. At 14, this actor played Gordie in "Stand By Me", and later he
played Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
He now appears occasionally as Sheldon's nemesis on "The Big
Bang Theory".
 
9. This actress debuted at age 9 in the movie "North" and came to
prominence at 13 in "The Horse Whisperer". As an adult, she has
played a servant in Vermeer's household, a neglected young wife
in Tokyo, and an alien seductress preying on men in Scotland.
She is the only woman to be twice named "Esquire" magazine's
"Sexiest Woman Alive".

Depends on the cereal. In the case of Lucky Charms, I think the answer
would be in the affirmative.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #342 (GOLQ342)
 
Welcome to Golden Oldies Lyric Quiz #342 (GOLQ-342), which contains
a multitude of big hits as well as a few stumpers. Twenty-six of the
twenty-seven songs share a common attribute. The one song that does
not share the attribute gives a clue to the attribute. Recognizing
the attribute may help solve the stumpers. Have fun!

Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #342
Recordings #01-25 were from 1958 through 1969
Due 5:00 p.m. EDT (GMT-4), Friday, July 31, 2015

Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all the things that you want me to
#01)
 
Though I know
You're the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I'll keep waiting
#02)
 
(Oh no) Don't you tell me
My baby's just a playboy
#03)
 
Well, I believed she really loved me
But now at last I see
I was the king of fools
#04)
 
One thing you'll know for sure
I won't be the one to fall in love with someone new
I'll love you 'til I die
#05)
 
Anytime my little world seems blue
I just have to look at you
#06)
 
You ain't reaching me no how, no way
No time 'til doomsday
I can't hear you no more
#07)
 
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy, I don't need to do more
#08)
 
I asked to see her next week and she told me I could
#09)
 
I'll never forget you for what you've done
I'll never turn my back on you for anyone
#10)
 
I'm not supposed to be alone with you
#11)
 
A chug a chug a motion
Like a railroad train, now
#12)
 
You know that once upon a time
I didn't need you so
It would have been so easy then
For me to turn and go
#13)
 
Wanting to feel
To know what is real
Living is a, is a lie
#14)
 
I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I stay
#15)
 
He can stay away too long
And then come back like nothing's wrong
I'm a fool, and no one knows it better than the one I love
#16)
 
Don't miss a party, don't miss the dance
Go on a date if you get the chance
Give him your hand and I'll understand
That's how it should be
#17)
 
Only with every little step I make
Only with every little beat of my heart
And every single minute I'm awake
#18)
 
Now you know me
You know how proud I am
What I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say
#19)
 
That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world, but I'll work hard for you, girl
#20)
 
There was a night when
You held me tight and
You said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me
#21)
 
I tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die (bye, bye, baby)
If you say so long (bye, bye, baby)
If this is goodbye (bye, bye, baby)
#22)
 
I am but a fool
Darling, I love you
Though you treat me cruel
#23)
 
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
#24)
 
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
#25)
 
------------
Tie-Breakers
------------
 
I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're blue
I love you when you're mad at me
So how can I get tired of you
#T1)
 
We met one night
It was love at first sight
Then you asked me to dance
I knew at the start
You'd stolen my heart
The beginning of romance
#T2)
