In 2003 Ringo was touring with his All Starr Band, performing such classic Beatle tunes as "With a Little Help from My Friends" and "Yellow Submarine" (among many other less-famous songs).

Answer: pant

Our poor dog gets "hot spots" on her skin in the summertime. To stop her from chewing herself raw, we have to put an "E-collar" on her. The "E" stands for Elizabeth, in honor of the ruffs with which Queen Elizabeth the First adorned her royal neck.

10. Use the first nine answers to answer the following: Which TV show premiered in the summer of 2003?

Answer: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Here's how the first nine answers relate: CARSON Kressley is the show's clothing specialist. STRAIT (straight) guys receive make-overs on the show. The five gay stars are known as the FAB 5. Carson doesn't call trousers "pants"--instead he refers to this article of clothing as "pant," singular: "This is a casual yet sophisticated PANT." TED Allen is the show's expert on cuisine. THOM (pronounced Tom) Filicia is the show's interior design "doctor." Kyan DOUGLAS teaches straight guys how to use personal care products properly and guides them through tanning salons, skin care spas, and life-changing haircutting and styling revolutions. QUEER is the first word in the show's title. Culture counselor Jai Rodriguez is a professional singer and DANCER who appeared in "Rent" and other Broadway and off-Broadway shows.
