Super Happy Fun Contest Winner

Well, hot dog, we have weiner! Death Metal Roze is the 1st prize winner, though she has yet to choose her prize. Since everyone else claimed it was too hard, I declare commenter Evan the runner-up.

Yes, it was hard and some of the questions could have been trick questions (though I honestly didn't intend them to be). Here are the answers, links, and text:

1 Who was the first person to 'show me [his] neck tattoo'? [as a result of my shirt]
Matt from Most Precious Blood (he has birds on his neck - yes, I think they're swallows)

(I even wore my 'neck tattoo' shirt since their bass player was the first person to actually show me his neck tattoos as a result of the shirt).

2 Who was the first 'victim' of Murrain of Swains ridiculous bass player interview tactic?
Bill from Verbal

And now it's time for a new segment I like to call "Several Questions with the Bass Player" - so here is the gist of my interview with Bill from Verbal.

3 What (or who) does every band need? [looking for one specific thing that I wrote about: "every band needs a ______ "]
OK this one was pretty tough, and could really be just about anything, plus I edited this entry a couple times since I first wrote it. Here's the quote:

I think every band needs a friend to play in a kiddie pool filled with chocolate pudding or start a mosh pit.

4 With whom did I dream of shopping for taco salad ingredients?
DMR actually guessed Claudio (and I did once dream of car shopping with Claudio) but here's the correct answer:

Extra special bonus round question for Joe S of 3 - what kind of tortillas are your favorite (wholewheat, those red or green ones, etc.)?
Joe: green
{MoS: if you must know the reasoning here, I had a dream about shopping for taco salad ingredients with JS...deeper meaning? WTF? TMI?}

5 Who inspired the ultimate creation of my stalker wall? [he was the first person on it - not Abe Lincoln]
Brandon from Fear Before the March of Flames. That pic is still up - he's just so cute!

Brandon is indeed cuter than I had remembered...I think he must be quite the ladies man. I may have to actually start the 'stalker wall' to which I keep referring.

6 Who received a review score of 2/5 for 'massive use of hair product'?

Darkest Hour: 4.447/5
other bands (collective): 3.6294/5
stupid annoying kids who make fun of everything (why did you spend money on this?): -5
idiotic scenesters: 2/5 for their massive use of hair 'product'

7 What was the first 'thing I thought I would never do twice' that I did twice this year?
It was see Def Leppard - I saw them in ATL and at Live 8 in Philly

So I'm back in Jordan...this is the second thing I never thought I'd do twice this year (the other being Def Leppard, of course).

8 Who was homecoming king in high school?
Marc from Bear vs Shark

Other:
-Poker
-Rifts
-Rolling a 20-sided die to see if Nickelback is Derek's Rift's character's favorite band (intentional shout-out? )
-some girl with a pierced upper arm (WTF?)
-Hot&Spicy Cheez-Its
-big ups to Ms. E and Mr. S
-Marc was homecoming king?

9 Who wears clothing with their own band's name on it? [pants]
Peter from The Haunted has a bunch of band names on his pants - one of which is his own band's. [Some other bands do this too, but I thought this was the weirdest example]

Is it OK to have your own band's name on your pants?

10 What is probably in my bloodstream right now? (inorganic, legal substances, people)
This one was hard and could have multiple interpretations, but this is what I was looking for:

Overall, awesome show. I think I need to cut back on the glitter products for a while though. I've been wearing Urban Decay Heavy Metal eyeliners all week and last night I got a big snarf of my shimmery coconut spray by accident when I was getting dressed. I've probably got glitter in my bloodstream at this point.

DMR even made an attempt at the bonus round:
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...]

DMR said:

Make fun of other people on your blog through something like
"fashion victim of the week" like they do on the "how to dress hardcore
page"

I will accept this answer. What I was really getting at was making up band names to raise your street cred (hardcore) or give youself emo scene points

Thanks for playing!
