yes, that was a typo. Now let’s head back to the world of sports, since I want some more DQ.s 😃 Are you a Russian top tennis player? Did you win the Australian Open in 2008? ---

Too late - \*\*Wash \*\*correctly guessed that I was David Duchovny, who played both FBI Agent Fox “Spooky” Mulder on the X-Files and DEA agent Denise/Dennis Bryson on Twin Peaks. Or maybe it was a shot in the dark but I couldn’t find any other guy who fit the bill :). So, congrats Wash ! ---

So, congrats Wash ! Can we call it an educated shot in the dark? Duchovny popped into my head as an actor mostly famous for TV roles, but I was really just hoping you weren’t a Twin Peaks fan and Den(n)is(e) would help me to a DQ. Either way, huzzah, I think this is the first time I’ve won a game on the Straight Dope! 😃 However, I’m a little too busy to start off a game, so someone else feel free to take my turn. ---

Gah. I thought about him first, but didn’t think he’d show up in any high school history book. History is… older, y’know ? History’s when they didn’t have rock’n roll. Anything after that is just the past 😛 I even looked up the guy who blew the trumpets of Jericho 'cuz that seemed more like it :smack: ---
