Longhorn Trivia Revisited

Seven weeks ago, Saxtor, Andrew, and I went and checked out a trivia night at a local bar. (Groundbreaking coverage can be seen here.) Since then, it has been a weekly tradition. The teams are always in flux with whoever happens to be around that particular week, but the fun is always the same. In the 7 weeks, my team has scored 3 first places, 1 second, and 3 fourths. (If it wasn't for the pesky music round, I contend many of those fourths would have been more like seconds or thirds.) Not a bad average considering there are often between 12 and 15 teams competing.

Anyway, to share the joy, as it were, I thought I'd post the visual identification round from this week. How many of can you solve? (Team Discovery Channel* scored an 8. Hark!) For answers, hover: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Might want to re-check your answer on #1.
Also, may it be noted that this week, The Flying Hellfish got 2nd place. I have to say I was pretty impressed with Team Discovery Channel's 4th place finish. See, if you are the worst team in the music round, you get a bonus prize of the CD full of the songs that you couldn't identify. Team Discovery Channel won this particular CD* and still managed to pull off 4th place. Impressive, I say.

agree with saxtor for number 1, you're close but not quite there. this is coming from a one time collector and coloring book lover.

You have to forgive Wren for his incorrect "answer" to picture #1. I was, in fact, the only one on our team that knew the answer (Chris took one look, turned to me and said Hummel, and leaned back waiting for me to shower him with praise at his awesomeness.) I will say, however, that that one answer was my main contribution to TDC.
