Time Out For Trivia rears its ugly head again

5. Fred Astaire?

Nautica is correct on #4 for the original 'Willard' movie. If you're talking about the 2003 movie, THAT rat was 'Socrates'.

Edit: Wasn't Mickey's dancing modeled after Charlie Chaplain?

I think Hawk Flies is getting outclassed in his own trivia thread. I'm gonna work on some questions of my own...

according to my sources socrates was the name of the rat anyway but Ill give credit where its due..

both Mickey inspirations are incorrect

There were Two rats in 'Willard', Socrates and Ben. Socrates was Willard's friend, and Ben was the evil leader of the rats. Ben, of course, was the one who got a sequel named after him.

1 is Oh, My!
2 is correct by chewbacca, I just overlooked it
5 was Buddy Ebsen
and 10 was 5

Here's some to try your luck at.

Category - Band Names. All band names in the form of "______ and the _____". I fill in the first _______, you provide the second.
Easy, right?

A) Gladys Knight

B) KC

C) Katrina

D) George Thorogood

E) John Cafferty

F) Kenny Rogers

G) Frank Zappa

H) Dion

I) Southside Johnny

J) Murph

K) Hootie

L) Diana Ross

M) Frankie Vallie

A few more:

N) Bob Seger

O) Tom Petty

P) Prince

Q) Josie

R) Kaptain Kool

S) Frank Marino

T) Neil Young

A,B,C,D,E,G,K,L,M are correct. Would've also accepted "Delaware Destroyers" for Thorogood.

Note: "T" technically doesn't fit since there is no "the" in the title. Same reason I didn't put up Paul McCartney and Wings originally.

F) Kenny Rogers and the First Edition

H) Dion and the Belmonts

I) Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

J) Murph and the Murphtones

N) Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

O) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

P) Prince and the Revolution

Q) Josie and the Pussycats

R) Kaptain Kool and the Kongs

S) Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush

T) Neil Young and Crazy Horse



U) Jason

F, H, I are correct.
J is incorrect

chuck gets half a point for Ozzie but we still need the other one
nautiica and chuck gets half a point for LaRussa and it only counts as wins by managers
chuck gets another half a point on number 10 for Merlin Olson
4 is also correct
5 is also correct
so we still need half of number 1 and half of number 3

U) Jason and the Argonauts

You're right.

It's Murph and the Magic Tones.

When I answered this morning, I had "Magic Tones" in my head, but "Murph Tones" is what my fingers typed.

Jason and the Scorchers (Jason and the Nashville Scorchers would also be correct).


They were the first alt-country kind of band that I liked in the late 80s.

a couple more bands...

V) Joan Jett
W) Billy Vera

V) Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
W) Billy Vera and the Beaters
