Other characters added to this show during its run include the cook Mr. Gaines, the hard-working Kim Reese, who worked for Mr. Gaines, and Freddie Brooks, who was passionate about the environment. The first season featured Maggie Lauten, who was quickly written off, though gym teacher Walter Oakes and Ron Johnson were lasting figures.

ANSWER: A Different World 2. This man holds his team’s record for rushing yards in a game, 234, which he set in a 2000 game in which he also set the record for most rushing yards in a game at Three Rivers Stadium. The pick that was used to acquire this player was acquired by trading quarterback Rob Johnson. This player currently holds the record for the most rushing yards in a bowl game for the Florida Gators, set in the 1998 Citrus Bowl against Penn State. He rushed for 1,202 yards this past season despite splitting carries with Maurice Jones-Drew. FTP, name this running back who made his first Pro Bowl in 2008, a player for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This is the first word in the name of a group which had a hit with “Info Freako” from the album Liquidizer, and which had a bigger hit with a song about a “woman on the radio” who “talks about revolution / When it’s already passed her by.” This is the first word in the name of a group formed by Jim and William Reid which had hits with “Reverence,” “Sugar Ray,” and “Sometimes Always.” FTP, identify this word which is followed by “lizard,” “Jones,” as well as “and Mary Chain” in the names of several rock groups, and which in some traditions designates the savior of humanity. ANSWER: Jesus (accept The Jesus Lizard before “Liquidizer” is mentioned) 4. After this took place, Harold Deal became a local celebrity in Missouri for wearing shorts all year. Playwright Odon von Horvath had a profound fear of this happening to him, and it indirectly caused his death, while it directly killed Congressman Samuel Avis, Thai ruler Magrai the Great, and physicist Georg Wilhelm Richmann, who was studying it at the time. Virginia park ranger Roy Sullivan is in the Guinness Book of Records because this happened to him seven times. More recently, an occurrence of this killed the man whose pitch broke Sammy Sosa’s corked bat, Geremi Gonzalez. FTP, identify this unlikely circumstance, most likely to happen during a thunderstorm. ANSWER: being struck by lightning (accept equivalents) 5. His son of the same name often works as “Huck,” a nickname taken from one of the recurring characters in his works. That character is the son of a grocer and flies in a World War I-style plane with Rudolf von Flugel. Other characters created by him include the firefighting pigs Smokey, Sparky and Snozzle, a cocker spaniel named Sergeant Murphy, and the affable Lowly Worm. All these characters populate his Busytown, a city used as settings for such works as “What People Do All Day” and “Things That Go.” FTP, name this children’s book author whose works were made into a Nickelodeon animated series called “The Busy World” of him.

They had the worst road record in NBA history in the 1990-1991 season, going an abysmal 1-40. The most recent time this team had the number one overall pick they selected “Never Nervous” Pervis Ellison in the 1989 draft. Their most recent playoff appearance was in 2005, when they lost to the Sonics, the same year they traded a player for a package including Corliss Williamson. Current coach Reggie Theus played for them in the ‘80s. FTP name this team that plays in ARCO Arena, a California-based franchise. ANSWER: Sacramento Kings (accept either; accept Rochester Royals before “1990”) 7. In his book Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality, John Boswell asserted that this film marked the first public use of the word “gay” in the United States outside of pornographic fiction. That happened in a scene in which the main character explained that he had “gone gay” upon being discovered in a dress. It featured Virginia Walker as Alice Swallow, the main male character’s fiancee, and Walter Catlett as Constable Slocum, who arrests several characters. The male protagonist wants to impress Mrs. Ransom, who may donate money to his museum, while Susan Vance turns out to be Mrs. Ransom’s niece. Featuring a missing intercostal clavicle bone from a brontosaurus and a leopard, FTP, name this film starring Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, a screwball comedy with an educational title. ANSWER: Bringing Up Baby 8.

This man released an album in 2000 in which he performed with Eric Clapton on songs such as “Marry You” and “Help the Poor.” The latter song also appeared on this man’s 1964 album Live at the Regal along with classic covers such as “Every Day I Have the Blues.” FTP, name this blues artist famous for songs such as his cover of Roy Hawkins’ “The Thrill is Gone” and for playing a guitar named Lucille. ANSWER: B.B. King 9. This man has only one career Olympic goal, which he got in 2006, and he only had one assist in 2002 when he won a gold medal. He has been a cover athlete for two different video games, including the 2003 edition of NHL Hitz. He was the second overall pick of the NHL draft by the Whalers, and after two seasons he was traded for Brendan Shanahan to the team with which he spent most of his career. This man came to his current team after his wife, Lauren, supposedly demanded he be traded as she didn’t like Edmonton. FTP, name this man who had the most points of his career in 2000, the year he won the Hart Trophy, a defenseman for the Anaheim Ducks. ANSWER: Chris Pronger 10. In one installment of this, two characters were discussing whether setting up a TiVo is like “taking candy from a baby,” at which point Stewie from Family Guy mysteriously appeared holding a candy cane. In another installment, one character pretended to be a “Talking Charlie Brown” lamp, a claim he substantiated by saying “Hulloo, Snoopee dog.” Yet another installment saw a character writing a letter to the World Wildlife Fund, and ended with him adding a postscript asking that the Fund “keel Bob too.” That character, Larry, is often seen campaigning to “END ZEEBA LIFE.” It also features the often-confused Pig and the cynical Rat. FTP, identify this comic strip created by Stephan Pastis whose name comes from the Gospels. ANSWER: Pearls Before Swine 11. A special “Competition Cartridge” of this game was released for Blockbuster and features time limits and the elimination of world maps. World three of this game, Vine Valley, contains such levels as Tree Top Town and Clam City, as well as an airline run by one of the protagonist’s relatives. Some of the enemies in this game are the crocodilian Klaptrap and Klump, and two bosses appear in this game twice, Gnawty and Necky. An extra life can be gained by collecting the four letters that make up the protagonist’s surname in each level. The protagonist frees allies such as Engarde and Rambi in his quest to defeat King K. Rool. FTP, name this SNES platformer featuring the title character and his sidekick Diddy. ANSWER: Donkey Kong Country 12. This baseball player was the first member of the Creighton University Hall of Fame, although he attended the school on a basketball scholarship. Teammate Tim McCarver said of this man, “He’s the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. He always pitches when the other team doesn’t score any runs.” He has only one no-hitter, coming in 1971 against the Pirates, while he has two World Series titles, won in 1964 and 1967; he also won the World Series MVP award in each series. In his greatest season, 1968, he had 13 shutouts and a 1.12 ERA, winning the NL Cy Young and MVP. FTP, name this pitcher who compiled 251 wins playing for the Cardinals from 1959 to 1975. ANSWER: Bob Gibson 13. He played “The King,” while Grace Jones played his queen, in a 2001 TV miniseries entitled Shaka Zulu: The Citadel which starred David Hasselhoff as Mungo Prentice. The role that made him famous was originally offered to Horst Buchholz and Alain Delon, while his more recent roles include Sheik Riyadh in Hidalgo and the narrator in 10,000 B.C. He is known as a worldwide authority on contract bridge, though he recently quit writing his syndicated daily column on the game.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

  • Dark Night of the Soul
    Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse - Dark Night Of The Soul Uncut has reviewed plenty of obscure albums in its time but this may be a first: an album that doesn’t officially exist. As a result of some undisclosed contractual snafu, EMI put the mockers on Dark Night Of The Soul just as it was being readied for release. Undeterred, Danger Mouse pressed ahead anyway, offering Dark Night… as a limited edition photo book featuring David Lynch ’s “visual narrative” for the project, accompanied by a blank, recordable CD and the not-so-cryptic instruction to “use it as you will”. Though careful not to say as much, Danger Mouse was essentially encouraging us to bootleg his own LP, which by this point had mysteriously surfaced on file-sharing networks. Danger Mouse has form in this area, of course. The Grey Album , his inventive mash-up of Jay-Z and The Beatles , also aroused the wrath of EMI, who held the rights to The White Album . It made his reputation, if not his fortune, so he knows the value of peer-to-peer propaganda. On the other hand, Danger Mouse’s clever feint here may just have succeeded in adding a layer of intrigue to a project which, despite its impressive cast list, is not as fascinating as its creators probably hoped. Take Gorillaz ’s Demon Days, substitute Sparklehorse ’s Mark Linkous for Damon Albarn , and David Lynch ’s murky snapshots of sinister smalltown America for Jamie Hewlett ’s anarchic cartoons, and you’ve got the basic idea of Dark Night… There are some big-name cameos – Iggy Pop , Frank Black , a surprisingly compelling Suzanne Vega – but it’s questionable whether a collaborative free-for-all was the best way to approach a concept album about loss of faith; dark nights of the soul, by their very nature, usually demand to be suffered in isolation.

  • Where Is Queer? Migration Experiences of Sexual Minority International Students in Toronto
    WHERE IS QUEER? MIGRATION EXPERIENCES OF SEXUAL MINORITY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN TORONTO by TREVOR CORKUM A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Leadership, Higher, and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto @ Copyright by Trevor Corkum 2015 ii WHERE IS QUEER? MIGRATION EXPERIENCES OF SEXUAL MINORITY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN TORONTO MASTER OF ARTS, 2015 TREVOR CORKUM Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto Abstract This qualitative study uses queer standpoint and queer oral history methods to examine the migration experiences of nine globally mobile LGBTQ international students currently studying or recently graduated from post-secondary institutions within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and southern Ontario. I employ Lionel Cantú’s queer materialist paradigm to interrogate the ways in which queer international students are subject to and disciplined by dominant relations of ruling within specific educational and queer sites of citizenship. In particular, I attend to the ways in which intersections of race, gender, class, language, and other identity markers mediate experiences of home and belonging in both physical and virtual worlds within these citizenship spaces, and how these students engage in forms of “border-crossing” to consciously re-articulate or redeploy aspects of their identity in order to strategically negotiate particular regimes of power and privilege. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank the students and alumni who agreed to be interviewed for this project. Your stories and life experiences guided me through the project. You candid responses, openness, and humour made the research so richly rewarding.
