Round 2

13 players this time!


1. On March 5, 1963 a legendary country singer (best known for her songs "Crazy" & "Sweet Dreams") was killed in a plane crash with three other passengers. Name one of the 4.

For 10 points:
No one.

For 5 points:
Patsy Cline(2), 'Hawkshaw' Hawkins(3), Ramsey (Randy) Hughes(4), 'Cowboy' Lloyd Copas(4).

A short and tough life for Patsy but she left behind a lot.

2. An actor who played a real U.S. President that served in the 20th Century in a Feature Film (no TV projects). Please give the movie title, too.

For 10 points:
Jon Voight as Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Pearl Harbor, Gary Sinise as Harry S. Truman in Truman, Timothy Watters as Bill Clinton in Life Or Something Like It, Robert Beer as Dwight David Eisenhower in My Science Project, Harry Carey Jr. as Eisenhower in The Long Gray Line, Robert Beer as Eisenhower in The Right Stuff, Ed Flanders as Truman in MacArthur, Brian Keith as Theodore Roosevelt in The Wind And The Lion, Ralph Bellamy as FDR in Sunrise At Campobello.

For 5 points:
Bruce Greenwood as John F. Kennedy in Thirteen Days(2).

Two disallowed: James Madison served in the 19th century so the actor who played him once (Burgess Meredith) was not right. And I couldn't find Jon Voight in the cast listing of Airforce One at all.


3. An original member of the 80's Canadian band "Men Without Hats".

This question eventually got even me confused. Three brothers began the band and some others joined in before they finally had their studio debut album. I accepted anything associated with "Men Without Hats" eventually. The websites re: them are wildly vague.

For 10 points:
Colin Doroschuk, Mitsou Langevin.

For 5 points:
John Gurin(2), Jeremy Arrobas(2), Stefan Doroschuk(2), Ivan Doroschuk(3).

Two answers not accepted: Roman Martyn (couldn't make the connection there) and Ivan Miscala (but that one I understood as the search engine listed it strangely - it was actually Paul Miscala). Open to corrections on this.

The band was basically a one-hit wonder with their 1982 hit "The Safety Dance".


4. A male character in Shakespeare's play The Tempest.

For 10 points:
Ariel (even though one film adaptation presented him as a girl, the original play didn't).

For 5 points:
Gonzalo(2), Sebastian(3), Alonso(3), Caliban(4).

Several others.


5. Pick something, anything, with strings!

10 points to all!
Marionette puppets, Tennis racquet, Piano, Guqin (Chinese zither), Mandolin, Any deal negotiated with grandchildren , Lute, Bananas, Lyre, "Chinese Sticks" (magic trick), Bales of hay, Relationships, Mangoes.

The Winners List!

ElfTwinkle & gemini19 - 40 points!

ozzz2002, cinnamOn, ren33, Polaris101, Mugaboo - 35 points!

bracklaman, littlewoman2, Ballykissangel, Santana2002, LeoDaVinci - 30 points!

marley - 25 points!

Nice to see new faces and a great job to all!

Points to our two winners!

Yay! My second ever point... It's a proud moment for me.
