John Lowther
New York City, NY
college student

John wants to dye his hair back. He dyed part of it red because he was Columbia in a Rocky Horror-themed party and he got lots of interesting looks in the subway. Meredith can't believe that anyone in NYC gives him a second look. He had eyeliner on.

John knows that L. Ron Hubbard is Scientology, but wouldn't warrant that he was a calypso singer; New Age, maybe, or electronica. He'd love to take a risk on this but he has absolutely no idea. It hurts him so much in his heart but he has to walk.

I think that bright red hair dye messed up his brain cells!1.  easy.2. easy.  I could not believe that low percentage of the audience with the right answer!  3. ATA. It's a movie quote. The audience might recognize the movie.4. I guessed the right answer, but up there I might use JTQ 1.

I dunno why I remember this one so clearly. Maybe it's because it was discussed so much here.
