Previous IQs: Were you told not to use a phone that you had every right to use? - John F. Kennedy, as a very young-looking legislator, was once told by a U.S. Capitol Police officer, “Those phones are for Congressmen, son.” Were you Don Henley’s longtime sweetie, to whom he dedicated his first solo album? - Actress Maren Jensen, best known as Athena in the original _Battlestar Galactica_: [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--0qciebqgpU/ThzZtD-7wyI/AAAAAAAAPTw/ovVdfWjIZk0/s1600/MarenJensen\_Athena-3\_100.jpg](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--0qciebqgpU/ThzZtD-7wyI/AAAAAAAAPTw/ovVdfWjIZk0/s1600/MarenJensen_Athena-3_100.jpg) Did you once serve under a commanding officer named Garrovick? - James T. Kirk, when he was aboard the USS _Farragut_. DQs: Born north of the Mason-Dixon Line? Died since 1950? Would you have to see his performance to fully appreciate it? IQs: Were you a small reptile who was a singer’s chum? Did a dog and a cat look at you and do nothing to help when you got in trouble? Did JFK always particularly appreciate your memos? ---

EH- You may want to change your 1st DQ, its converse was already asked. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > DQs: > > Born north of the Mason-Dixon Line? > Died since 1950? > Would you have to see his performance to fully appreciate it? As **etv** pointed out, your DQ1 has already been asked and answered. Ask another. Died since 1950. Your DQ3 puzzles me. The short answer, I suppose, is “yes,” and we can go with that for now; but if you’d like to rephrase for clarity, I can give you a more definite answer. Summary for J: 1. Real. 2. Male. 3. Not living. 4. American. 5. Last name does not start with J. 6. In the Arts. 7. Not from east of the Mississippi. 8. In the performing arts. 9. Not from south of the Mason-Dixon line. 10. Died since 1950. 11. Yes, you would you have to see his performance to fully appreciate it. > [@](#): > > IQs: > > Were you a small reptile who was a singer’s chum? > Did a dog and a cat look at you and do nothing to help when you got in trouble? > Did JFK always particularly appreciate your memos? Three DQs. I know we’ve had the JFK one recently, but I just cannot remember the person in question. ---

Unsure on both, so DQs if I’m wrong. Jimmy Stewart. Correct on Johnny Cash (“Tennessee Flat Top Box” - I actually prefer his daughter Roseann’s version). Correct on Johnny Horton (“North to Alaska”). DQ1: Known for work in movies/TV? DQ2: Died after 2000? One DQ reserved. IQ1: Did you, your daughter, your mother-in-law and a cousin move to California? IQ2: Are you that cousin?
