Botticelli #37

JM. Shoot.

Did you break on through to the other side in July of 1971?

Were you the third person holding your job to die on the Fourth of July?

I’m not Jim Morrison or James Madison, I think.

ETA: Doh! Should have gone with James Monroe. DQ for Fretful Porpentine.

Did you play the Beaver?

Not Jerry Mathers, but would never have got that without looking it up just now, so take a DQ. Logging off now, back in 14 hours or so!

DQ: Are you male?

IQ: Did you start learning Greek at the age of three?

Are you a major Watergate scandal figure?

(What’s DQ and IQ here?)

Were you killed in your bathtub?

Leaffan: I assume the abbreviations mean “direct question’” and “indirect question,” a guesser being allowed to ask a direct question if the chooser can’t think of someone matching the guesser’s guess.

IQ - Indirect question. You have to ask a vaguely worded question about a historical figure with the initials chosen (in this case JM). If the answer stumps the player, then you may ask a Direct Question - a Yes or No question ‘Are you alive?’ ‘Are you a man?’ etc. etc.

Did you write a Tony-winning play about a high school basketball team?

Did you raise a breed of horses named after you, in Vermont?

Were you the first manager to win pennants in both the American and National Leagues?

Did you run unsuccessfully for Congress in Bucks County?

Were the last years of your life affected by a much younger female hanger-on?

Were you most praised for work you did because Chris Schenkel needed some sleep?

Did you ask Jim Lovell if he’d ever masturbated in space, and Ted Williams if he’d ever farted in a catcher’s face?

I am male.

I thought you may have got me there with a fact about my person I did not know about, but it seems you’re referring to John Stuart Mill, and I’m not him. However, take another DQ as I looked it up.
