IQ1: I’m not Rigoletto.
I should remember Blazing Saddles better, but it’s been too long … .
And as for the last one, I’m stumped. Please take two DQs.
I’m baffled by all of these. Take three DQs.
IQ1: Are you a singing brakeman?
IQ2: Were “your” royal children actually fathered by your wife’s brother?
IQ3: Did you learn the hard way to say “yes” when someone asks if you’re a god?
Absolutely right on Rigoletto.
Cleavon Little as the sheriff says “You’d do it for Randolph Scott.” The townspeople take off their hats and say ‘Randolph Scott’ in an awed whisper, then they all stand and sing ‘Ran-do-olph Sco-o-o-tt’ like the ‘amen’ at the end of a hymn. Surely it must be on YouTube somewhere…
Ah, and Sonny Rollins - one of his early 1950s albums as bandleader was titled ‘Saxophone Colossus’; the name has stuck, with good reason. He is still playing, and will turn 82 this September.
So, then -
DQ1: Were you born after 1900?
DQ2: Is ‘B’ the initial of your last name?
No idea on the first two.
IQ3: I’m not Ray (can’t remember his last name) from Ghostbusters.
Take two DQs.
Prince Rainier’s soon-to-be-wife Grace Kelly came to Monaco in 1956 aboard the SS Constitution, which many years later I sailed on during a Hawaii cruise.
Roderick, Lord Blaine, was injured in the Niven and Pournelle sf novel The Mote in God’s Eye.
Edmund Randolph was the first AG, and also the second SecState.
R.
- real
- male
IQ: Did you used to run guns to the Rebels?
IQ: Did you used to run guns to the rebels?
IQ: Even though you should have been charged with Larceny from Kevin Costner, did you escape getting charged with scene stealing back in the 90s?
Yes, I was born after 1900, and no, my last name does not start with B.
- Real
- Male
- Born after 1900
- Last name does not start with B
Good Lord. I don’t know any of these.
Le Ministre and Elendil’s Heir, thanks for clearing up those “B” leftovers. I had to :smack: on a couple of them; if I had only taken more time to think, I might have had a couple. Oh well.
Some IQs for the R game:
IQ1: Are you a movie critic who once took a turn in a film about a transsexual?
IQ2: Were you a bigwig in sports programming at ABC?
IQ3: Did you play a parimutuel teller in a 1989 film about a guy who couldn’t lose at the horse races?
Umm, that’s because I’m an idiot and was still thinking it was “B” instead of “R”.
:smack:
BTW, the B answers were Bruce Weber - recently fired from U. of Illinois, Neils Bohr - who told Albert Einstein to not tell God that he couldn’t play dice with the Universe, , and Bill Halsey, US vice admiral who said on December 8, 1941 that once he got through, Japanese would only be spoken in Hell.)

I’m guessing that #1 is Roger Ebert, who I am not.
The other two – take two DQs.
Right on Ghostbuster Ray Stantz. The other two were Jimmie Rodgers and Robert Baratheon (from Game of Thrones).
DQs:
5. Are you alive?
6. Are you American?
- Real
- Male
- Born after 1900
- Last name does not start with B
- Alive
- Not American
Actually, no; and to the best of my knowledge, while Ebert did appear in a few films, none dealt with transsexuality. The person I was looking for was movie critic Rex Reed, who had a role in Myra Breckinridge.
The bigwig in sports programming at ABC was Roone Arledge.
The parimutuel teller was played by Robbie Coltrane, and the film was Let it Ride. Coltrane may be better known nowadays as Rubeus Hagrid, in the Harry Potter films.
I’ll take two for now, and wait for your go-ahead on the one involving Rex Reed:
-
Does your last name start with R?
-
Are you from an English-speaking country?
Some more IQs:
-
Do you not smoke it no more because you’re tired of waking up on the floor?
-
Did you play a character who only watches radar while drinking coffee?
-
Are you said to have a thousand voices in your repertoire?
Ha … I confused Myra Breckinridge with Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
- Real
- Male
- Born after 1900
- Last name does not start with B
- Alive
- Not American
- Last name does not start with R
- From an English-speaking country
But all this is moot because I am indeed Ringo Starr!
Well done!
Nice job Spoons!
(my three IQs, by the way, in case anyone was wondering:
IQ: Did you used to run guns to the Rebels? A: Rhett Butler
IQ: Did you used to run guns to the rebels? A: Rick Blaine (Casablanca)
IQ: Even though you should have been charged with Larceny from Kevin Costner, did you escape getting charged with scene stealing back in the 90s? A: Alan Rickman
Sorry about skipping yours … I was posting in a chain and didn’t notice that your guesses had slipped in.
Woo-hoo! I’ll be back in a bit with another letter–I do have to get some work done today.
As for my other IQs:
The character who drinks coffee while watching radar is Darth Helmet, played by Rick Moranis in Spaceballs.
The man of a thousand voices is impressionist Rich Little.
Shit, piss and industrial waste, what a fwcking time to make a typo like that!!! AAAUGH!!!

R, Le Fou de l’au-delà, R.
