Heh, I was gunning for Lee Harvey Oswald, didn’t expect Oliver Stone And the other two were Norman Osborn (a.k.a. Green Goblin) and Daniel “Oz” Osbourne of Buffy fame.
DQs :
Are you an artist ?
Are you American ?
IQs :
Are you a one-eyed ornery old bastard who keeps a pair of crows as pets ?
Do you watch the ships roll in, then watch them roll away again ?
Did you save the lives of many Jews during WW2 ?
Sorry about the delay – I lost my Internet connection Friday afternoon and couldn’t get on line again until yesterday, when I had to catch up on what I had let accumulate during the weekend.
Anyway…
Worm: I did not get my fame from politics, though I was tangentially involved in that field.
I’m not Odin. Johnny Q: I’m neither Laurence Olivier (who gave the advice to Dustin Hoffman, as I recall) nor J. Robert Oppenheimer. Kobal2: I’m not an artist, but I am American.
I’m still not Odin (Question #1). I’m also neither Otis Redding (#2) nor Oskar Schindler (#3).

Just because I didn’t answer with the Irish gangster you had in mind doesn’t mean I was wrong. Al Capone’s competitors did include Myles O’Donnell. So I’ll answer one DQ by saying that I was truly a legitimate businessman, although I did face legal action at least once in my life.
And since I don’t know the self-deprecating piano player, I’ll add that I am not of Irish descent as far as I can recall. Hey, you forget stuff when you’re alive – why would that change once you’re dead? Worm: I’m not Oleg Deripaska, who is (by many accounts) Russia’s richest man.
I am neither Orville Wright nor Orville Redenbacher.
