"AAAH!!! I GOT A THEME, I GOT A THEME!!! WOOOT WOOOT!" - Stephanie la Francofille
*sniff* It's amazing to watch our new Quizlings grow up so fast, learning the ways of the mods. This week we went with the incredibly clever theme of "June", to remind people of the month at least. Pandemic time is weird.
1. What actress is best known for her maternal roles, playing a mother on both Lassie and Lost in Space?
"June Cleaver." - 5 of you
"Her perennial sex complaint was Ward was a little hard on the beaver last night." - Deza
"She could talk to both the animals and the alien carrots because she also spoke Jive." -captainsblog
(+1, Airplane. -AL)
"Aren't all actresses over 35 known as 'the mother'?" -b_hulsmans
(+1 for truth, -1 for that truth being the existence of endemic misogyny. -EW)
"Bess Truman." - Otto P
"Is it Dame Judi Dench? I feel like it's Dame Judi Dench." - Jake
"Richard Roundtree, AKA Shaft. He's one bad mother. Which is why the dog and the robot had to do so much parenting." -theatomicfruitbat
"I can't remember her name, but those are both MILF porn vids." - Stevo Darkly
(And you don't wanna know WHAT "Timmy is trapped in the well" is a euphemism for ... -EW)
"Someone who can play a dog's mother & an astronaut? Is there anything Parker Posey can't do??" -waitingman
"Now I'm imagining a crossover where Lassie is the mother on Lost in Space. I would definitely watch that show." -crystalcazzie
Correct Answer: June Lockhart.
2. What common name for several varieties of scarab beetle is also the title of a song by the B-52s?
"Love Shack" - oh so many of you
"Rock Lobster" - the rest of you
"Whammy Kiss" - Otto P, daring to step away from the crowd
"Hot Pants Explosion" -waitingman, but the +1 goes to the B52s for writing a song with that title
"Glove Slap" - Jonathan B
(+1, The Simpsons. -EW)
"Why they call them B-52s when 'Stratofortress' is so much cooler, I'll never understand." -bending_sickle
"I can't remember if it's John, Paul, George, or Ringo" -opensprit
(George was rhino beetle. Ringo was a waterbug. Paul was a weevil. John was an earwig. -CV)
"With a name like June Bug you assume they're going to be cute little ladybird-type things, but instead you get giant monstrosities that fly at your face like a drunken cockroach." -crystalcazzie
Correct Answer: June Bug.
3. Fun with movie quotes! What 1993 film includes this exchange?
"You don't like raisins?"
"Not really."
"Why?"
"They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen."
"The Stepford Wives (well, that got dark in a hurry)" -digitaldiscipline
"John Landis's immortal The California Raisin Brothers- 'We're getting the box back together!'" -captainsblog
(I'm glad this film never happened. -EW)
"Raisins are zombie grapes." - Deza
"I also suspect CV likes them for exactly this reason." - Kirsten the Chump
"If you're going to ruin a grape at least make something good with it, like wine." -crystalcazzie
"Sounds like something from 'Pulp Fiction,' but there aren't enough 'motherfuckers' in the quote." -b7cy
"Jumanji" - ANONYMOUS
(Led astray by the theme, I suspect. -CV)
"Ah the only movie to star Jonny Depp and not have him be the crazy person for once." -b_hulsmans
(.....debatable. -AL)
"What's Stealing Gilbert Grape's Life?" -seekingferret

4. What capital city briefly changed its name to UNO for April Fool's Day in 2016?
"Dos" -opensprit, shirenomad
"Rickrolljavik." -captainsblog
"Seattle?" - Heather
(Fraiser Crane never would have stood for such downmarket nonsense. -EW)
"'Cripple Mr. Onion' would have had a better ring to it" -waitingman
(Onion ... ring? +1, we see what you did there. -AL)
"The Quad Cities. Draw four." -digitaldiscipline
"Saint Paul, because it wanted to show Minneapolis that it was number one of the twin cities." - Jonathan B
(GIVE THIS QUIZLING ONE THOUSAND POINTS FOR MAXIMUM CORRECTNESS. -EW)
(Whoa, calm down there Minnesota. -AL&CV)
"INO" - Stevo Darkly
(I know you know, but you still have to answer the question. -CV)
"'Do you know what the capital of Alaska is?' 'Juneau.' 'Yes, I do. I'm asking if you know.'" -crystalcazzie
(Talk to Stevo Darkly, he was just bragging that he knows. -CV)

"The tonic tree" -shirenomad
"Raspberries. The true connoisseur can tell if the distiller waggled his fingers in his ears as he blew them." - Jonathan B
"When I visited Amsterdam I learnt a lot about the use of juniper berries in jenever and gin and the difference between the two. Then I drank a lot of jenever and forgot it all." -crystalcazzie
"Jupiter berries. They're called that because of the big red spots heavy gin drinkers get on their noses." -theatomicfruitbat
"The 'Donovan Conifer,' later becoming the title of one of the earwormiest songs of all time that rhyme with my wife's maiden name" -captainsblog
"the Juniper berry; Which we belgians use to make Jenever, which is like gin but way better, but only we are allowed to call it Jenever; it's better because we can put the flavoring in the booze and not spend our valuable time mixing a cocktail to get some flavor ( you *have* to try Cactus Jenever, and Cuberdon Jenever). Belgium might be famous for its beers, but they ain't got nothing on our Jenevers" -b_hulsmans
