Since we’re past the noon cutoff for DQs, I’ll ask my last: Are you MONGO from _Blazing Saddles_? Though the Waco Kid did say something like “Mongo ain’t really a Who; he’s more of a What.” ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > # Mongo > > from _Blazing Saddles,_ and [only pawn in game of life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bctYe13iePI). Never heard of him. IQ1: Did you play Weena in _The Time Machine_ (1960)? IQ2: Did you play Barbara Gordon? IQ3: Did you play the housewife at 1313 Mockingbird Lane? ---

YQs: 1. Speaking of Mel Brooks movies, were you Maid Marian in _Robin Hood: Men in Tights_? 2. Did you direct _Poor Things_? 3. Did you observe “I didn’t say everything I said”? ---

Good guess on Mongo! SunUp only pawn in game of Botticelli. IQs: 1. Did you play Dr. Righteous in a short film from 1983? 2. Did you front the heavy metal band Rising Force? 3. Did you play a secret agent assigned to protect an unexpected asset in _Chuck_? ---

Never saw the movie. 1. Are you played by Shia LeBoeuf in **Holes**? 2. Did Eartha Kitt voice you in **The Emperor’s New Groove**? 3. Did Colleen Camp play you in **Clue**? ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > IQ1: Did you play Weena in _The Time Machine_ (1960)? > IQ2: Did you play Barbara Gordon? > IQ3: Did you play the housewife at 1313 Mockingbird Lane? I thought of all three of these, but went with #3 instead of Yvette Mimieux or Yvonne Craig. I am # Yvonne DeCarlo! Take it away, **SCA**! I had thought of using Ye Wenjie, from _The Three-Body Problem_ (Hugo Award winning novel and hit Netflix series). Would anyone else have known of her? ---

Would anyone else have known of her? Damn, that was quick! Good one on Yvonne De Carlo and Mongo! @Prof.Pepperwinkle, I’ve heard of _The Three-Body Problem_, but I haven’t yet read it - I’m trying to get more familiar with Chinese sci-fi; I just finished up Kuang’s _Babel_ last week. So I wouldn’t have gotten Ye Wenjie. Good catch, @SCAdian! (And you and @kitap really need to see _Blazing Saddles…)_ ---
