Saturday Solutions - Funny Animal Quizzing
Sorry we're late. Centurylink works very hard to live down to its reputation around here. (They got the contract to provide phone and internet after Qwest got destroyed by the federal government for refusing to comply with illegal demands for customer information. So you can figure how much we expect Centurylink to give the barest shit about us.) If regular posts don't appear, it's due to a continuing gross lack competence or care on the part of Centurylink. Never do business with them if you can avoid it. It's been years of crappy connections because they don't want to upgrade or repair their gear.

Saturday Monster Solutions
Dealing with my own monsters this weekend, so keeping this quick. Here's the answers to yesterday's Great Movie Monster Fun Quiz -
What's that? You don't recognize the scene from Star Wars shown in #7?
Maybe you should be listening to TC in the comments to the quiz, eh? He informs us that the scene comes from the "other" version of Mysterious Island. I'm disinclined to argue.

Running a bit late, so here's the answers right quick:
Kudos to TC for his soutions. While not quite complete, those he answered were all correct, sometimes more correct than the quiz's "official answers"
 |
| Seriously? "The Apes"? He may have dwelt among "The Apes," but he was raised by Kala. (Bonus points to TC for noting the specific tribe as well) |
 |
| While Sheena was most notably labelled "Queen Of The Jungle", was she the only one? The Phantom's "Bad" ring left only a Skull mark - no crossbones. (There was also a "Good" ring to mark those under his protection with 4 'P' swords making a cross) |

Quick answers to yesterday's Quick Quiz -
1>
From Larry Elmore, a name all old school D&D fans should recognize, comes Gidget Meets The Squirrel Dogs From Outer Space.
2>
The man tormented by the whispers is Doc Mason from John Findley's tolerably awesome Tex Arcana, a tale of which i've been a fan long enough that back in the '80s, before going full time into the artwork the electronics technicians with which i worked were called the Techs Arcana ("We're so good, we're magic").
3>
The might of Marveldom assembled was gathered to end the threat of... the F.F.'s mailman...?
I told you there was something odd about Willie Lumpkin.

Saturday Solutions - Epic Fail Edition
The bestest thing about yesterday's Trekki quiz was the artwork on the banner, so let's run that again!
Here are the "Official Answers" that ran with the quiz in Marvel's Pizzazz magazine -
Ummm - yeeee-ah...
Let's take it by the numbers, shall we?
1. Mr. Spock plays the Vulcan Lute, which does look like a small harp. And it is sometimes called a Vulcan Lyre or a Vulcan Harp. We'll give it a half point for correctness. (minus a half point since he can also wiggle his ears)
2. - 4. Answers lie within acceptable parameters, and remind us that we are reading a Marvel magazine.
5. Arell Blanton's Lt. Dickerson was the "Chief Security Guard" for one episode - The Savage Curtain - and never seen again. All ranking personnel wearing red who weren't a part of the Engineering staff would be classified as "Security officer aboard the Enterprise."
6. I would have said "Trouble" which doesn't make their answer incorrect.
7... 8...
9! Well, apparently there was an un-aired scene where Bruce Hyde got carried away as Kevin Riley when he usurped Kirk's captaincy. It seems he must have swiped Montgomery Scott's nickname, too.
Obviously, it didn't stick. As i recall, they called him "Kathleen" in the mess hall for quite a while. (Kevin, not Bruce. Bruce was/is cool.)
10. Yup.
11. Okay... Maybe this guy actually does know his Trek and he's just playing with us?
See, Zarabeth was a woman played by the lovely Mariette Hartley. And the answer "the only meat Spock ever ate" was likely a technically correct answer at that point in his life. We weren't privy to the specifics of their coupling on 1960's TV to fully confirm one way or another, but it seems logical given the parameters of the situation.
13. The name of the High Priestess of Yonada was Natira, not Matiza. And Yonada was an asteroid ship, not a world.
14. The Horta was the creature appearing in the episode Devil In The Dark. The first aired episode was The Man Trap, featuring a shape shifting salt vampire named Nancy.
15. Well, at least they knew the Horta was just protecting her eggs.
17. The Hyena, of course, was Leena.
18. "Medical Check-Up" Is that the new euphemism for an uncontrolled mating rut? Y'know - like Shatner's title for that episode... "What Makes Salmon Run?"
21. Jeffrey Hunter played Captain Chrisopher Pike in the first pilot - the officer who handed over command to Captain Kirk at the beginning of his tour on the Enterprise. William Shatner was, indeed, the only actor play James T. Kirk on film, both live action and animated. (On vinyl record is another matter. And this quiz was last century, before the reboot with the punk kid version of Kirk)
22. "A Villain? Oh! You wound me, Sir! I BLEED that a Noble Rogue such as myself might be branded a villain by a cruel and unjust governance!"
23. There are six pads on the transporter platform and six is the maximum recommended safe transport, but we did see that number exceeded on at least one occasion. (And shouldn't the hanger and storage facilities on board the Enterprise have a cargo transporter? (Your Honor, we call Speculation - Irrelevant to the answer. (Agreed. Move along.)))
24. I would have said "Half Human." That's what they told him when he was growing up.
26. Seriously? A total non-aggression pact forcibly imposed upon both stellar empires and maintained by highly evolved outside parties because Kirk and Kor lose their shit every time they meet, and all they're going to do is mention who signed it? The description could have been Glorious.
*sigh*
The rest is close enough. I'm too depressed to go on.
But!
We do have a Bonus Saturday Solution!!
An answer to yesterday's Matinee query* as to the nature of Micro-Face. No, i don't mean an answer to why the poor sap was hobbled with the name Micro-Face, and why there was no talking badger or something to harass him for it. I mean, to what did the name refer?
As it turns out, he did not have a shrunken face on a normal sized skull, like Little Face. But he did not have tasers from his face, just like Taser-Face. However, the name Micro-Face is derived from the Micro Mask our hero, Tom Wood, developed.
No, it's not a very small mask. It has "Micro" tools built into it. Like Microscope, Microphone, Micro... ears?
Okay. But still...
Micro-Face?

Saturday Solutions - Marvel Xword Trip
I usually wind up creating new images for the answers to most puzzles of this nature, but i liked the original enough to just try to clean it up to a usable level. The reason being that nice logo they plopped into the Hulk's space -
This week's puzzle came to us from the very first issue of F.O.O.M., back in 1973.
My apologies for not providing time frame for the puzzle yesterday when you were working on it.
