These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-29,
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 to the newsgroup in a single followup,
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.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe 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 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 10, Round 7 - Entertainment - Real Names of Musicians
We describe a band or musician using people's real names. You give
the band's name or the artist's stage name, as applicable.
1. Gary Lee Weinrib and Aleksandar Zivojinovic are two members of
which world-famous Canadian rock trio?
2. Chaim Witz, Stanley Harvey Eisen, George Peter John Criscuola,
and Paul Daniel Frehley were the founding members of which
famous American band?
3. An original cast member of "The Phantom of the Opera" stage
musical, Michael Dumble-Smith also played "Hero" in the movie
version of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum".
4. Singer, songwriter, actress, and cultural icon Édith Giovana
Gassion's stage name comes from the colloquial French term
for sparrow.
5. Alecia Beth Moore took her stage name from a character in the
film "Reservoir Dogs".
6. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta found her stage name in a
song by Queen.
7. Eleanora Fagan was nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and
musical partner Lester Young.
8. Singer, songwriter, and actor Walden Robert Perciville Cassotto
was married to actress Sandra Dee in 1960. He died young at
age 37.
9. Rapper Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. was discovered by Dr. Dre
and has sold over 30,000,000 albums world wide.
10. Canadian musician, singer-songwriter, and painter Roberta Joan
Anderson began her career singing in nightclubs in Western
Canada and busking in the streets of Toronto.
* Game 10, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - Online Acronyms
OMG! LOL! WTF? Here's a round on Internet shorthand, the
truncated 21st-century version of the English language. No texting
your teens for help here. We give you the acronym and a clue,
you tell us what it stands for in text-speak.
1. AFAIK -- a qualifier.
2. OTOH -- an equivocation.
3. TTYL -- a sign-off.
4. IDK -- an admission.
5. NOYB -- a somewhat rude response to a query.
6. 4YEO -- a limited response.
7. ROTFLMAO -- You wrote something really funny.
8. IMHO -- A modest qualifier.
9. YOLO -- We're getting philosophical here.
10. SMH -- an expression of exasperation.
