Botticelli 2009!

Do I carry a what now ?! suspiciously Is that what you kids call it these days ? Take a direct question :slight_smile:

Haha, Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods.

Okay, DQ: Are you European?

I am not European.

Did you meditate longer than most people would probably advise?

I am not the Dalai Lama (OK, so I’m stumped :). Take a DQ)

Daruma, the legendary father of Zen Buddhism who, according to one legend, meditated for so long that his limbs atrophied and fell off. :eek:

Are you Asian?

That’s a … disturbing image :slight_smile:

I am not Asian

Did you propose any massive sphere-like structures?

I am not Freeman Dyson, but I’ll readily admit he’s got one of the greatest names evah.

Are you the boss? Ay-oh, oh-ay! :wink:

I’m not Tony Danza :slight_smile:

Are you a sunglass wearing football player who’s had is best years behind him?

(and sedoa, I was thinking about Francesco Totti)

(precision needed for research purposes : real football (i.e. soccer) or pansy-ass American football ?)

The real proper kind we play in Europe.

And another for you:

Are you a former no. 1 tennis player?

I am not Björn Borg. I’ll have to get back to you on the first one :slight_smile:

EDIT : Gah ! Was thinking B instead of D. Take a DQ.

Where’s the D in Björn Borg?

Oh, damn, I have actually heard of him.

Sassin frassin ferigners and yer sassin frassin kickball. :wink:

ETA: And thanks for joining in WormTheRed, I was in dire need of some manly Nordic assistance. :slight_smile:

The worst thing is I took a few seconds deciding between Björn Borg and Boris Becker, before thinking “waitaminnit, isn’t WormTheRed from one of the Nordic countries ? Borg it is” :smack:

I give up on the footballer too. Whosit ?

Why, yes; I’m multinordic* :slight_smile:

I was thinking of Lindsay Davenport and Edgar Davids

DQ:s Are you non-fictional and are you alive?

IQ: Were you a rebel without a cause?
IQ. Are you a blind superhero?
IQ: Have you won the Champions League with two different clubs?

And sedoa, most glad to help and most grateful for yours as we seem to split our expertise pretty well :wink:

*As in hailing from one of them and having lived in most of them

Okay, I’ll toss in another one:

Did you become a multinational pop star after changing your name?
