On the fourth track of the 2003 album Dear Catastrophe Waitress, Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch poses a question to a professional athlete: “Are you straight or are you gay?” It’s a question the athlete himself had addressed publicly in a 2002 press conference. Name the athlete.

Name the film *character* who is loosely based on Bobby Gene Plump. Among Plump’s lesser-known achievements was winning team MVP twice at Butler University.

The most common name for a game that typically involves duct tape and large bottles of malt liquor contains an allusion to what 1990 film? (Note: Your answer should be the film, not the game.)
