Were reports of your defeat greatly exaggerated? Are you the protagonist of some Beverly Cleary novels? Did you gain fame for singing about air globules in alcoholic beverages? ---

**Worm**! I had given up all hope for the game! Once again, you are the wind beneath my wings. 😉 Here goes: Did you paint a picture of Venus rising? Did you inspire the Romans to drink? Are you a cartoon animal forever transformed by an evil genius who wanted to make you lead his evil army? ---

I was going for **[Crash Bandicoot](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_characters_of_Crash_Bandicoot#Crash_Bandicoot)**, but I’ll leave it to your discretion as to whether I get a DQ or not for that. Do you vie with another sailor for the affection of a certain alliteratively named girl? Do you really, really like a certain brand of corn chips enough to steal them? Are you halfway there? ---

Did you commission unique guns for famous people ? Are you a jazz pianist & singer ? Do you bend it like yourself ? Does your tombstone famously reads “Pals” ? ---

Are you so glad that you had time together to “laugh and sing a song?” Did Ricky never let you be in the show? Are you the patron of eloquence, beauty, music and all with a flowing aspect? Do the inhabitants of a provincial French town all agree that you’re nothing like the rest of them, yes different from the rest of them? Does your husband eat really big sandwiches and work for a short-tempered and short-statured old curmudgeon? ---

Who the crap is **Warren Bell**? I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but, I was going for **Carol Burnett** , who ended her variety show with the song: > [@](#): > > I’m so glad we had this time together > Just to have a laugh and sing a song > Seems we just got started and before you know it > Comes the time we have to say, ‘So long.’ **Lucille Ball** , whose character **Lucy Ricardo** always pestered her husband, Ricky, to let her be in his nightclub act. This was cruel, but, **[Benzaiten](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaiten)** is another of the Seven Gods of Fortune. **Belle** , from Beauty and the Beast. Re: [The opening song](http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q3A1D_rhMQ). 🙂 Loves me some Disney songs. Okay, my DQs: Were you European? Were you the leader of a country? Were you alive in the 20th century?
