Answer: Living Dead

In the 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead" a group of people hide from zombies in a farmhouse. The movie also features a sequel, "Dawn of the Living Dead" and a 1990 remake of the original. I have never seen these movies. I am too squeamish, so I am waiting for the children's pop up version.

Answer: Little Giant

Nicknamed the "Little Giant" because of his short stature, but giant presence, Stephen Arnold Douglas (1813-1861) was a U.S. Representative and Senator who served the state of Illinois. He is famous for a series of debates against Abraham Lincoln for the Senate in Illinois in 1858. Douglas defeated Lincoln in that race, but two years later he was nominated for President and once again debated Lincoln.

This time Lincoln won. Douglas died of typhoid a year later.

Answer: He crash landed

Jeff Bridges starred in "Starman" as an alien whose spaceship crash lands in the United States. He arrives at a farm where he takes on the appearance of a woman's dead husband to enlist her help so that he can rendezvous with the mother ship. The movie also starred Karen Allen and Charles Martin Smith. (From the IMDB - although I have seen the movie more than five times.)

Answer: Head butt

A major penalty is a foul in which the offender must sit in the penalty box for five minutes. Common examples include fighting and boarding. If a player attempts to head butt he is charged with a double minor and has to serve four minutes. However, if a player actually head butts an opposing player, it is a major penalty. And if the player is injured, then the player receives a major penalty and a game-misconduct and must leave the ice. High sticking, which is hitting an opposing player with your stick held up high, is a minor penalty that results in two minutes for the player who committed the foul. If the opposing player is injured, then the player committing the foul serves four minutes in the penalty box. Hooking is when a player uses his shaft to impede another player's progress. Hooking is also a minor penalty worth two minutes. Roughing occurs when players go at each other and push and shove and punch, but leave the gloves on.

It is a minor penalty where the offender has to serve two minutes.

Answer: Oxymorons

ONCE AGAIN, I have lead you to the finish and I am TERRIBLY PLEASED, for you see, the clues or in this case the answers are all OXYMORONS, most of which can be found on the net through a search engine. OXYMORONS are a figure of speech that consists of two words, that seem to have opposite meaning, but are used together.

The most common examples include JUMBO SHRIMP, PRETTY UGLY, AND GUEST HOST. A second form of OXYMORON is the humorous or sarcastic type in which it is the humorous context of the two words used together that makes it an oxymoron. Examples of this type include MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, MARITAL BLISS, and AIRLINE FOOD.

Many people enjoy playing a game in which they make up sarcastic oxymoron. NOW THEN, the examples from this quiz are (1) RECORDED LIVE (2) ACT NATURALLY (3) GOOD GRIEF (4) LIVING DEAD (5) HOLY WAR or Civil War (6) LITTLE GIANT (7) CRASH LANDED or CRASH LANDING (8) HEAD BUTT or if you please, you can use BUTT HEAD (9) The answers in question 9 fall under the humorous or sarcastic oxymorons.

They are all of the possible answers which are "TRUE LIES", A PERFECT WORLD"' AND "STORM WARNING" (an oxymoron better understood if you live in Texas). Well I gotta go, parting is such sweet sorrow.
