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 Mon... Continue reading »
The Breakin’ Big Hair Brawl – Round 5 – Results Edition
[UPDATE: The answers have been appended to the questions below. At the very bottom you'll find the current Leaderboard. Round 6 (the final round) Questions will be up Friday January 16th 2009 - by 8:00 a.m. EST]
Here we are at Round 5 and we have a number of traffic jams at the top, with 7 of the top 8 contestants tangled in a tie. With so many people playing, I drew up a contingency plan. If we should have a tie following the end of Round 6, for anyone in the top 3 slots, I’ll post a special playoff round of 5 Questions. And we’ll proceed in that fashion (Playoff Rounds of 5 Questions) until we have three clear-cut winners.
Let’s hope it never comes to that.
Now, I wanted to spotlight an incorrect answer I received in Round 3 simply because it made me laugh so much, I almos... Continue reading »
The Breakin’ Big Hair Brawl – Round 4 – Results Edition
[UPDATE: The answers have been appended to the questions below. At the very bottom you'll find the current Leaderboard. Round 5 Questions will be up Wednesday January 14th 2009 - by 8:00 a.m. EST]
One of the perks of this gig is reading some of the crazy answers I get sent. In Round 1, when I asked what “Conjunction Junction’s” function was, about 1/4 of you thought we were taking the MCAS and gave me textbook definitions of what a conjunction does. We’re not taking the college boards people, I just want to know if you’ve seen Back to School.
Last round brought out the best batch of inanity. In response to my Breakin 2 inquiry into that flick’s classic subtitle, several of you had erased Electric Boogaloo from your memory banks (an act I thought imposs... Continue reading »

[UPDATE: The answers have been appended to the questions below. At the very bottom you'll find the current Leaderboard. Round 4 Questions will be up Monday January 12th 2009 - by 8:00 a.m. EST]
We’re getting a little separation at the top, but not much. I really think this contest (almost a week old) is still anyone’s game. Once you put the finishing touches on today’s submission, I’ll give you the weekend off and then we’ll be back on Monday for the Back 9. I would advise that you hit up Netflix and rent every teen sex comedy released between 1982 and 1986. You’re really gonna’ want to bone up on Porky’s. Or maybe not.
And as I spy my current queue, I see that C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D. and Killer Klownz from Outer Space suddenly hav... Continue reading »

I know – you’re not here to listen to me babble. You’ve come for 80′s trivia and the last thing you need is a trademark Ed Humphries rambling manifesto to kick-start your day. Well, too bad. The questions are below – just aching for you to find them, but first you have to wade through this sea of drivel. Hey, my name’s on the site so I demand the spotlight.
First off, I’ve got to throw a heaping helping of mad props your way. This marks the 3rd trivia contest I’ve run in the last year or so. The first Ho Ho Ho Throwdown was ru... Continue reading »

Here we are… Round 1 of The Breakin’ Big Hair Brawl. Many of you participated in the Ho Ho Ho Throwdown so you should know the rules but just in case all that egg nog fried your brain or you’re new to the game, here goes.
First, the contest is open to anyone.
Every other business day, starting today, I will post a round of 14 Eighties-themed Pop Culture trivia questions. Anyone who wants to participate can send their answers to me (don’t post them on the site) at theedzone@gmail.com. All answers must be received by 6:00 a.m. EST the following day. I will th...

The Breakin’ Big Hair Brawl – 80′s Trivia Contest
In a bid to provide further fodder to those of you who claim I have way too much time on my hands, I am back with another quasi-quiz show to help while away these nasty winter months. Before you go calling DSS, please note that I concoct these things after the house has been turned down for the evening, the kids are in bed and the rest of you are nestled snug on your couch traipsing through The Hills or pining over Bromance. Yeah yeah, I doth protest too much.
Anyway, starting next Monday – January 5, 2008 – we will launch a new trivia contest on these pages, similar in structure to The Ho Ho Ho Throwdown that I’ve run the past couple of Decembers. Where that focused on Holiday Pop Culture Trivia, this new contest aims squarely at Eighties Pop Culture (movies, TV, music). Most ... Continue reading »
