THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: RHYMES WITH “BEWARE”
On-air questions: Today is March 15, otherwise known as the ides of March. In the Roman calendar, the ides were one of the three principal days of each month and essentially fell one day before the middle of the month. They may be more familiar because of a line in Act 1 Scene 2 of Julius Caesar, during which a soothsayer says to Caesar “beware the ides of March” and then later something bad happens, I think? Anyway, the only thing you need to beware tonight are the answers, in which the last word will rhyme with the word “beware”.
1. What word appears in the title of eight of the nine films in a horror movie franchise that began in 1984 and continued through 2010, along with other words such as Revenge, Child, and Dream?
2. While a September 1996 concert by Sarah McLachlan and Paula Cole used the name, what title is more familiarly associated with a series of tours between 1997 and 1999 starring McLachlan and dozens of other women singers and women-led bands?
3. Which character’s name derives not from a pun on puppeteer Frank Oz’s name but is rather a tribute to a Muppet workshop employee named Frank Fazakas, who originally created the character’s ear-wiggling effects?
