| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jan 30 11:25PM -0600 (The previous set -- Rounds 4 and 6 -- remains open as I post this. I'll close it in 17 hours or so, give or take.) These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2003-03-10, and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2020-06-23 companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)". I did not write these rounds. * Game 8, Round 7 - Canadiana - Songs, Poems, and Poets 1. Recite *any one line* from the *French* version of "O Canada". The lines vary from 6 to about 10 syllables in French. (In the original game, the question continued: "We'll tell you when you can stop. In fact, we may insist on it.") 2. Name *any one* of the following: the author of the French words to "O Canada", the composer of the music, or the author of the English words commonly used before a revised version was made official. You don't have to say which one you're identifying. 3. Who wrote and performed "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy"? 4. Gilles Vigneault, in his song "Mon Pays", says that his country is not a country -- it's something else. What is it? 5. What patriotic song by Alexander Muir was published in 1868? 6. Name the BC-born writer who """is""" Canada's parliamentary poet laureate. He """has taught""" at Concordia and Simon Fraser U., and written fiction and a history of British Columbia. His poetry anthologies include "Blonds on Bikes". 7. What traditional folk song tells of a young sailor being taken off to the wars, singing "for it's early in the morning and I'm far, far away"? 8. Name the singer who wrote and performed the love song describing a scene in a bar, whose lyrics include: In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada Oh Canada With your face sketched on it 9. Who wrote and performed, with a chorus of kids, the Centennial theme song "Ca-Na-Da"? 10. A song by Robbie Robertson of The Band and a poem with a Canadian theme by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow share the same name, and it's a woman's name. What is this name? * Game 8, Round 8 - Entertainment - Take a Number Given the actor, the year, and a quote, name the movie -- which in each case will have *at least one number in the title*. If you want to show off, you can give the characters' names as well, but no points will be awarded (or deducted) for this. 1. Douglas Rain (1968): "It can only be attributed to human error." 2. Lily Tomlin (1980): "I am your employee and as such I expect to be treated with a little dignity and a little respect." 3. Jack Nicholson (1970): "I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee." 4. Tom Selleck (1987): "I'm an architect, for Christ's sake. I build 50-story skyscrapers, I assemble cities of the future. I can certainly put together a goddamn diaper." 5. Molly Ringwald (1984): "I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek!" 6. Glenn Close (2000): "The last time I underestimated a puppy, I ended up in the pokey!" 7. Clark Gable (1934): "Any guy that'd fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined." 8. Henry Fonda (1957): "It's not easy to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first. We're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide in 5 minutes. Supposing we're wrong." 9. Nick Nolte (1982): "Class isn't something you buy. Look at you; you've got on a $500 suit and you're still a low-life." 10. Marilyn Monroe (1955): "When it gets hot like this, you know what I do? I keep my undies in the icebox!" -- Mark Brader | "If communication becomes impossible, it is expected that Toronto | both parties will... notify the other that communication msb@vex.net | has become impossible..." --memo to university staff My text in this article is in the public domain. |
