The Breakin’ Big Hair Brawl – Round 6 – Results Edition
[Editor's Note - The Leaderboard is below and MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM FOR A LITTLE SURPRISE!!!]
We have three ties in the top 6 so I am really hoping today is the day that someone stumbles. Otherwise, we hit the Bonus Round. Yup, as I a mentioned the other day, I have a contingency plan designed to break this log jam apart should we reach the end of this day all knotted up.
Alas, that’s a matter for a different day.
So, here’s the drill. You have until 7:00 a.m. EST Saturday morning, January 17th to get me your answers. The answers can be sent to theedzone@gmail.com or via private message on Facebook. Results will be up tomorrow morning.
Should we reach a tie – I will post the Bonus Round starting on Monday morning. That said – make sure you tune in tomorrow as I have a little surprise for you. I want to post it over the weekend due to the fact that two of our contestants are expecting a child any day now so their world is about to get a lot less trivial and lot more real. (Good Luck Chris and Melissa).
And with that said…

OMG Eddie that is the funniest photoshopped picture yet. Who knew pink was your color?
Ed
Fri Jan 16, 2009 8:52 am
Well, I am Pretty in Pink.

I am a little uncomfortable that you were able to find an Ed picture that gazes so longingly into his partners eyes…PLEASE tell me you were looking at Andi, ( or I will accept Sean) in the original!
Alissa
Fri Jan 16, 2009 9:44 am
Ed! I love this picture! I’m so jealous
that you get to be there with Jake Ryan
Chris
Fri Jan 16, 2009 10:24 am
I have to honest. At first glance I thought it was Ed and Sean! Too Funny.
Ed
Fri Jan 16, 2009 10:29 am
When this contest is over, I’ll post the original picture that I pulled the head from and then you’ll all know the secret of who I was gazing at.
I’m just glad Jake dumped Caroline for me.
Sean

Ah… Bromance is in the air.
Sean
Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:00 pm
Okay, that took quicker than I thought, but I just figured out where that Ed head came from and thank gawd he wasn’t looking at me!

WTF? You promised superimposing a particular word on the arcade machine….I have been decieved!!!!

Fri Jan 16, 2009 7:19 pm
seriously. could these questions be any more testosterone-centric? All I asked for was a question about legwarmers or mall chain stores like Rave and Chess King and I get like 10 ahhnold movies. Hateful! And yes, I’m bitter.

i’m with leigh on that. Contest-wide I have to say the ones i have had any exposure to, I knew. Any of the others i never laid eyes on or heard of and were pure guesses (CHUD?)…and never was an arnold movie buff. I am such a spoil sport, I hate losing
Thanks for the fun, Ed! I found myself looking forward to ‘game days’

my apologies for too many emoticons – ewww!
Sean
Fri Jan 16, 2009 8:34 pm
@Ed: Leigh and Stacy have a point. Maybe for the next one you can consult with Andi (since she doesn’t play) for some questions to balance out the scale a bit more. Or not. This is what is what goes on in your Ed after all…

Thanks for havin our backs, Sean. I’m not sweatin it, anymore…. i stopped crying hours ago. My hair and eyelashes will grow back, too. i’ve stopped mumbling “it’s just a game” over and over again. Now singing “Hakuna Matata” as part of my rehab therapy
Ed

Sorry – Leigh doesn’t have a leg to stand on. I just checked her answers for this last round. She didn’t miss many and of the ones she did, one is definitely girly. She did ace all the supposed guy questions though.
But I am just playing with the DNA I was dealt. Is it my fault that I am a boiling cauldron of Y chromosomes?

Just a few stats to back me up.
I went Round by Round to pick out the overy male-centric questions. Here’s my tally. The rest I would consider female centric or universal. That said, I’ve seen more than my fair share of chick flicks in this lifetime (Dirty Dancing, mytsic Pizza, Steel Magnolias) and could answer most any question about those flicks you throw at me, so I think asking women to sit down for a spell and enjoy an action movie (or at the very least suffer through a trivia question about one) is fair play.
Here’s my list of overt male-centric questions.
Round 1
4, 9, 10, 12 (4)
Round 2
3 (1)
Round 3
4 (1)
Round 4
5, 9, 11 (3)
Round 5
4, 7 (2)
Round 6
3, 4, 7, 12 (4)
15 questions out of 84. I think that’s a fair ratio and remember, at the end of the day, I’M A DUDE!!!

except in that picture

SOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE to perfect FINALLY!!
I can’t believe I got Mork and Mindy wrong….Boulder/Denver…c’mon, it’s like looking in a mirror!
Ed

Touche Juice.
Ed

@Quick Note – I don’t have everyone in this video. Just those I had digital pics of. But I applaud everyone for going the full mile. I hope you had fun!!!
Juice
Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:20 am
Kudos on the video….though my son watched the video and proclaimed “Thats Ed!!! (Excited)… Why is he wearing a dress??? (Quizzically)
Ed
Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:27 am
@Juice – Won’t be the last time you have to have that conversation.
Joe
Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:52 am
Thanks for doing this contest Ed – it was much fun! I can’t believe the inane crap that I have stored in my head – I guess that’s what I get for living a ‘drug-free life’ – those extra brain cells weren’t killed off and could store stuff like “Gary Gnu”, “The Fat Boys” and “Small Wonder”.
Joe
Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:53 am
and btw: since you wrote these questions – I can’t believe the inane crap that YOU have stored in YOUR head!!!
Joe
Sat Jan 17, 2009 10:02 am
Also the fact that I didn’t have a life in the 80′s also helps
Alex
Sat Jan 17, 2009 12:17 pm
I’ve been robbed of a point! I got #8 correct!!!
Sean
Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:08 pm
@Juice: Cam is an observant boy indeed! Ed is probably right, not the last time and you’ll probably have to have some about why he’s just wearing boxers, because that seems to happen a lot too.
Sean
Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:10 pm
As for those that wanted to know where that Ed Head came from, he has used it in a few posts here, but most notably his first.
Thankfully, he’s not gazing at me, but I did take the photo.
Ed
Sat Jan 17, 2009 2:20 pm
@Alex – That’s been rectified. You moved up a slot too. Sorry for the error.
Dan
Sat Jan 17, 2009 7:21 pm
Ed – That was a blast..thanks again..

My best round yet. Oh well, I didn’t come in last like I thought I would. It has been fun. Can’t wait for the next one.
