TOSSUPS – TRANSVERSE AXIS OF EVIL RC COLA CLASSIC 2002 – UT-CHATTANOOGA

Questions by T.A. of E. with special guest stars James Washick and Hanson, Brock, & Shaun of Simon Fraser U.


1. Its debut episode was the highest-rated show in Korean TV history, and presumably, it wasn’t so Koreans could pick up additional tips on jukebox repair or motorcycle-riding tricks. Rather, the Korean audience was intrigued by the show’s scandalous name. You see, American producers of the show failed to realize the name of the show’s male titular character was actually Korean slang for the male.....ahem... member. FTP, name this spinoff of “Happy Days” starring Erin Moran as Howard and Marian Cunningham’s daughter and Scott Baio as...well.. a guy a Korean-American might be tempted to call “Dick.”

Answer: “Joanie Loves Chachi”
2. Born in New York City on November 29, 1918, and a 1941 graduate of Smith College, she was working on a production of Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” when she met her eventual husband, actor Hugh Franklin. She said of her most famous book, “It's based on Einstein's theory of relativity and Planck's quantum theory. It's good, solid science, but also it's good, solid theology.” She later penned three sequels to that book, including, “A Wind in the Door,” “A Swiftly Tilting Planet,” and “Many Waters.” FTP, name this author of “A Wrinkle in Time.”

Answer: Madeleine L’Engle


3. When CNN ranked the top 10 films by this film’s director, this movie was not among them. You won’t find this flick on the American Film Institute’s list of Top 100 films of all time, although its director scores four other top-100 movies. But it made a lasting impression, thanks perhaps more to memorable supporting performances by George Sanders and Judith Anderson than the work of leads Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine. FTP name this 1940 adaptation of a Daphne DuMaurier novel, the only Alfred Hitchcock movie ever to capture Best Picture Oscar.

Answer: Rebecca


4. Before her musical career came to an abrupt and tragic end in 1997 when she died at the age of 45 from a cerebral edema, she had virtually run the gamut of musical genres, from pop to country to children’s music. Her final album, 1994's “Sleep Baby Sleep” was a collection of lullabies featuring such guest artists as Linda Ronstadt and Graham Nash. In the mid-80s, she took a stab at a country music career, recording the album “Say When,” which produced a hit duet with Steve Wariner, “That’s How You Know When Love’s Right.” FTP, name this vocalist who burst onto the music scene in 1978 with a top-ten cover of Neil Young’s “Lotta Love.”

Answer: Nicolette Larson


5. If the powers that be had done it RIGHT, you would have seen St. Louis vs. Cincinnati in the NLCS and Milwaukee vs. Oakland in the ALCS. Instead, baseball fans got a quirky playoff system that included a team that finished third in its division while eliminating the team with the best record in baseball (Cincinnati) from even making the playoffs. Indeed, neither Cincinnati nor St. Louis qualified for the oddball playoff field. The ultimate NL and World Series champ, Los Angeles, finished behind Cincinnati, and the ultimate AL champion, the New York Yankees, finished behind both Milwaukee and Baltimore. FTP, name this strike-marred year in baseball, which featured the first World Series between a pair of teams neither of which really won their division.

FTP, name this George Clooney film, directed by Stephen Soderbergh and based upon a Stanislaw Lem novel.

7. You can buy one of these on Ebay for anywhere from a penny (plus shipping and handling) to in excess of 100 dollars, depending on whether yours comes with supplies and/or other goodies, such as an authentic “Property of Broward County Florida” tag. These items were, excluding David Boies, Ted Olsen and the Supreme Courts of Florida and the U.S., the primary figures in the 2000 Presidential Election Controversy in Florida. FTP give the trade name of these punch-card-based, chad-producing voting machines which Florida is abandoning after the fiasco of Election 2000.

Answer: Votamatic

8. One of the daughters went on to front a still-obscure pop-punk band. The other daughter took a shot at being fictional rock-star in a dreadful 80s flick featuring Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts. Dad surfaced as a gun-toting redneck opposite Reba McEntire in one of Kevin Bacon’s lesser cinematic vehicles. And the son turned from being a being a brown-nosing politician to being... a brown-nosing politician, at least until he was replaced by some guy named Charlie. The lead singer of Jaded, the star of “Satisfaction,” the co-star of “Tremors,” and the former star of “Spin City” all share one line on their resumes.
