Super happy fun blog contest! Enter by 11/30

I'm proud to annouce the Murrain of Swains super happy fun blog contest for 2005. The first three correct entries submitted to the blog's email address by 11/30/05 can win one of the following:
-first prize: choice of either a custom Murrain of Swains hoodie (featuring Martin with his lute) OR a custom calendar of show photos (your choice of 12 from my collection) OR a Murrain of Swains t-shirt
-second prize: whatever the first prize person doesn't claim
-third prize: one of the above unclaimed prizes

To enter, just answer the following questions correctly and quickly (for ease of use, cut and paste into your email):
  • Question the first: Who was the first person to 'show me [his] neck tattoo'? [as a result of my shirt]
  • 2: Who was the first 'victim' of Murrain of Swains ridiculous bass player interview tactic?
  • 3: What (or who) does every band need? [looking for one specific thing that I wrote about: "every band needs a ______ "]
  • 4: With whom did I dream of shopping for taco salad ingredients?
  • 5: Who inspired the ultimate creation of my stalker wall? [he was the first person on it - not Abe Lincoln]
  • 6: Who received a review score of 2/5 for 'massive use of hair product'?
  • 7: What was the first 'thing I thought I would never do twice' that I did twice this year?
  • 8: Who was homecoming king in high school?
  • 9: Who wears clothing with their own band's name on it? [pants]
  • 10: What is probably in my bloodstream right now? (inorganic, legal substances, people)
Super happy fun bonus internet scavenger hunt type question which would result in a super happy fun bonus prize if answered correctly (hint: links to what you need to read are on the blog already): Name one way that both those in the hardcore scene and emo scene gain cred/points [I'm looking for one specific thing that's sort-of blog related...]

I don't actually know any of the answers, and this is technically the first time I've ever read your blog, but I know bloggers like comments, and you're nice enough to post comments on my friend Matt's blog, so I will take a stab at your contest:

1) This is clearly a trick question, as no one needs special permission to see a neck tattoo!

2) Another trick question! The answer is Kevin Moore from Dream Theater -- a keyboardist and not a bass player at all!

3) A hot chick in some capacity, although bass player is the most common, I think.

4) Vicente Fox, el presidente of Mexico.

5) Your stalker. Too easy!

6) Jesus, how many of these are there? Let's say...Scott Ian (the product was in his goatee, ironically)

7) Forgive me, Lord, for the dirty thoughts I've had while considering this question.

8) Is this related to question 7?

9) Every band!

10) Hmm. This one probably has to be something like caffeine or nicotine or ibuprofen or something along those lines, I'm guessing.

Bonus: Vanity-published haiku poetry on the internet.

Oooh, good guesses. It's actually quite a lot of reading to find all the answers (the Google search tool is only semi-useful for this, I've found).
I will have to put a photo of Vicente Fox over my bed to see if I dream of him (as opposed to Jamie from 3 Inches of Blood).
