CELEBRITY "PHIL" IN THE BLANK
1. Of all the Gibb Brothers, the artist DREW BARRYMORE often than he sketched Maurice. About one in six entrants got all five correct. Number one turned out to be the easiest, number five was the most difficult, and number two was surprisingly tricky. Although they weren't the answers we were looking for, entrants who wrote CASSIUS CLAY ("cash as clay") for number two and JIMMY STEWART for number five (those ice cream toppings ARE both tiny and cylindrical, not to mention delicious) can consider those guesses clever enough. Extra credit to Matt Morris who answered all five correctly and responded with a quiz of his own, which the Brain Exploder hasn't had time to work on, but may (or may not) be featured at some future date. - - - - THE FIRST FIVE TO REPLY WITH PERFECT SCORES AND THE RECIPIENTS OF A MCSWEENEY'S BOOK: Kiberius Spark

- - - - THE JACK BLAIR PUN MAN SHOW: 1. Of all the Gibb Brothers, the artist CAMERON DIAZ [camera['d] Andy as (often [as]] he sketched Maurice. 2. "I can pay you in bricks or you can take your STONE, PHILLIPS."
3. Sign held on street median by down-on-his-luck metalworker: "WILL SHAKESPEARE (making threatening "stabbing" gestures) for food."
4. "You can either snag a petal, snatch a bud, (or) ROB BECCA'S ROMAINE STAMEN for your pressed flower collection."
5. "Pots of SHAFT BROTH ARE (Shaft, brother!) made by boiling small cylinders with thine vegetables." - - - - RANDALL NOTTINGHAM, BETWEEN THIS AND WILL WELD, WHAT IS IT WITH YOU PEOPLE FROM MASSACHUSETTS? 2. Red Auerbach — famous Boston Celtics coach. This is probably not the answer you had in mind, but hear me out: Red Hour Recordings is a small studio in Columbus, Ohio. Therefore, a "Red Hour" could be a CD of music they recorded, which would make "I can pay you in bricks or you can take your Red Hour back" a perfectly plausible thing for an unemployed mason to say to a friend who suggested he buy the CD. - - - - FINALLY, A PARTIAL LIST OF OTHER GUESSES RECEIVED, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: V. I. Lenin
