Its been a (too) long time coming, but here we go.
Back in November of 2008 I started this trivia question game. The winner(s) receive credit for free fish. Im going to revisit the first six months of questions to close out the 2009 year with big free for all. While I was going to revisit each previous months installment of trivia, Ive changed my mind for a couple reasons. One reason deals with the ever present time constraint when it comes to the organization of these contests. Another good reason may very well be that enough was enough and Id like to move on to the next question please.
As much as Id like to see participants post their answers directly on this thread, we cannot play in just that way. Its virtually impossible not to cheat from the previously posted answers. In response to that dilemma, Ive asked that your answers be sent either by PM or via direct email to me at bigguapote1@verizon.net
Heres the deal each of the below questions is worth $50.00 of credit for free fish. Thats a total of $300.00 of free fish going out this time around! I would like to see multiple winners receive free fish, so there can be up to 6 winners in this End of 2009 contest. You will need to provide the most correct answers to any one of the below questions. Participants are permitted one and only one submission for their answer(s), so please make it good the first time! You may choose to compete in any or all of the six contests, but an individual contestant is allowed to win no more than two categories. That could be up to $100.00 of free fish possible per individual. The first replies received with the most correct answers will result in a win for each of the below questions. Winners of previous months contests are encouraged to participate and may win again in this grande finale. The contest begins immediately and the cut off for submissions will be at 12 AM midnight EST (thats 9 PM for you left coast dudes) on Sunday the 28th. Good luck!
I began with a question referencing an origin for the name of my business, Tangled Up In Cichlids. Here is a link to that question http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193785
For those of you that did not know, Bob Dylans song Tangled Up In Blue was the inspiration for my business name.
Question One for this entry will revisit Bob Dylans blues. More specifically, Im asking participants to list all the Dylan tunes recorded that contain the word blue. By the way, the below images have nothing to do with the answers.
December of 2008 contained a where in the world is this? set of photos. Here is a link to that question. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199235
Instead of just one place (the country of Iceland as in the case of December 2008 question), I am including photos Ive taken from several locations around the world in this go around.
For Question Two, please try to correctly identify as many of these photos as possible. You may refer to a proper name of the actual subject in the photo, or in some cases, the name of the city that is most applicable. I took some of these pictures many years ago and seriously do need your help figuring out where in the world I was when I took them!

On January 1st, 2009, I threw a three part trivia question out there. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=202317
It was entertaining to read each of your replies and comments. So there was the possibility of going in three different directions on this revisit to original questions. There could be some dog breed guessing or trivia, or maybe Uruguay collection trivia or questions, or maybe, I dont know-whats the record of how many live Rhineloricarids can one hold in ones mouth and not choke?! If that sounds odd, I invite you to please read the original thread for this particular months contest (pasted above).
Im leaning toward some canine breed identification by way of photos.
Part of this original question pertained to my Karelian Bear Dog named Corina.
The Karelian Bear Dog is definitely a primitive breed of dog. Personally, I am very interested in the more ancestral, primitive type breeds. I asked Corina if she was aware of other primitive dog breeds and this was pretty much her response.
If you google for primitive breeds, you may come across a list of the some breeds that are considered to be the most primitive or ancestral as per DNA tests. I cannot disagree with the findings, but after doing some of my own research, I was able to come up with many other similarly primitive, very interesting breeds. I cannot say that many of these breeds were represented at the recently held annual Westminster Dog Show in NYC , but I did see a few of them. Im still waiting for the day when I see a Bear Dog there!
Question 3 is then to try and identify as many of these primitive dog breeds as possible.

In February of 2009, I was focusing on a music related theme. In particular, I was looking for some Grateful Dead nostalgia with a little treasure hunt for a photo. That all happened here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221679
So speaking of my favorite band, lets get to the questions. Question 4 of this thread will require that you try to find answers to each of the following questions.
#1 At what venue did the Grateful Dead play the most shows?
#2 What is the name of their longest song played in concert and just how long was that song?
#3 How long was their longest concert? How many tunes did they play at this particularly marathon-like gig? What was the date and venue of said gig?
#4 Can you please tell me the names of the members in the 1973 ensemble of the Grateful Dead?
#5 How about the names of the members in the 2009 version of the Dead?
#6 Anybody know why the members of the Dead are wearing tuxedos and bow ties at this gig? What is the significance of this show (where is it and what is the significance of the event)?
#7 Not entirely unrelated to the previous question - can anyone name the tune the Dead performed with Tipper Gore (yep-remember Tipper?) playing drums on the 2nd night of their 2009 spring tour?
In March of 2009, I posted an assortment of feline photos to identify. Some were cartoon cats, some were actual species of wild cats, and there was one animated Hollywood cat named Salem. I cant think of any more relevant cartoon cats, but there are plenty more wild cats to check out.
Question 5 will then be to please identify as many of these wild cats as possible.

In April of 2009, I wrote a short story based on two characters from an old tune performed by a band by the name of Cream. Below is a link to the story.
http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=239356
As the song goes, Pressed Rat and Warthog have closed down their shop. They didnt want to twas all they had got. Selling atonal apples, amplified heat, and Pressed Rats collection of dog legs and feet. The twist on this little tale was this I peppered the story line with actual lyrics fron Beatles tunes. Participants had to read through the story and recognize the interjected statements that could be heard as sung by the Fab Four.
There will be no more short stories for now, anyway. However, I wanted to revisit something Beatles in this segment. Im sure the Rock Band games edition of Beatles Rock Band is not news to most of you.
Question 6 Just for fun (and free fish, of course), I will post images that appear in the Beatles Rock Band game during the time when specific songs are performed. Your mission, should you accept it, will be to identify the song that corresponds or would be playing when each of the below images may appear in the game.
