Are you incorrectly credited as having installed the first bathtub in a famous edifice? Did you gain fame for acting the part of a drunk? Did hilarity ensue when you opened your closet? ---

I am not HRH, The Crown Prince of Denmark and Count of Monpezat, Frederik. I hear “DA” and all I can think is Law & Order. But Jack McCoy doesn’t fit the bill. Have a DQ. > [@Sternvogel](#): > > Are you incorrectly credited as having installed the first bathtub in a famous edifice? > > Did you gain fame for acting the part of a drunk? > > Did hilarity ensue when you opened your closet? I am not Prez Fillmore (leave the poor guy alone, historians are just struggling desperately to credit him with _anything_) 😉 I know this will be a :smack: take a DQ. This one, too. ---

I was hoping to get you with the crown prince, but at least Fatman (from the 80.s epic Jake and the Fatman) stood me by 🙂 DQ: Are you wealthy?

No, I am not wealthy. And a big :smack: for Fatman. I do, however, know my Nordic royalty. 🙂 Take another DQ. I’m drawing a blank. 😕 ---

Always watched it with grandma! 🙂 No, I premiered prior to 1970. No, I am not… Frenchy McFrenchsong. I can’t think of any French singer/songwriters with an F. ☹ > [@Johnny\_Q](#): > > Do you live in a VAN by the RIVER? > > Did you have your twin brother committed so you could steal his wife? No, I am not motivational speaker Matt Foley. Drawing a blank on the twin brother bit, though. ---

Murder She Wrote was great, back in the days. Just like Jake and the Fatman and that other show with two beach bums and their nerdy friend who had a robot. What was the name of that show??? As for the singer, you’re not [Francis Cabrel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Cabrel). Though I do believe your name would’ve been better as Frenchy DuFrenchsong 🙂 DQ: Did you premiere prior to 1950? (working on the time scale here) IQ: Did you sing in a very high pitch, due to a lack of certain things? ---

So you’re not Farley Flavors from Shock Treatment. DQ: Are you more popular in America than in other parts of the world? IQ: Do you have a wide stance? ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > As for the singer, you’re not [Francis Cabrel](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Cabrel). Though I do believe your name would’ve been better as Frenchy DuFrenchsong 🙂 Oh, how I wish he wasn’t French… No, scratch that. I wish he would shut the fuck up. If he did, he could be French all he wants 😛 I still don’t have a darn clue who you might be, seo. That’s one long distance personna you’ve found yourself, there. Lesseee… Are you “played” by Samuel L. Jackson in a comic book ? Are you a pizza delivery man who got cryofrozen and thawed a thousand years later ? Was your name stamped on nearly every American stagecoach ? ---

[Foster Brooks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_Brooks) portrayed a “lovable lush” on many TV shows during the 1970’s. [Fibber McGee’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibber_McGee#The_Closet) closet was known to fans of old-time radio. DQs: Did your character live in the southern United States? Were you played by a man who is now dead? IQ: Did you have a thing going with Juanita down at the diner? Yes, all these are asked with the same guy in mind… ---

I knew that one so damn hard it hurts. My grandmother even referred to the hallway closet as the “Fibber McGee” because of how cluttered it was. I would like to thank everybody for all their questions, but **Sternvogel** has hit the nail on the head for I am, in fact, Mayberry’s Deputy Sheriff **Barney Fife**. “Nip it! Nip it in the bud!” 😃 ---

Popular supporting character from the extremely popular 60s US sitcom, [The Andy Griffith Show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Andy_Griffith_Show). The show was played outside of the US in North and South America as well as in Europe, albeit it wasn’t nearly as big a hit as it was Stateside. [Here](http://www.tvland.com/fullepisodes/andygriffith/index.jhtml?episodeId=15142) is a classic Barney Fife episode. 🙂 ---
