And that’s 20! The Prof, EH, KO, and Tim get “Firstname Lastname” DQs. Let’s say 2200 (that’s 10 pm for you civilians) Eastern on Wednesday…
Are you “Pretty Boy” Floyd (the title being “Public Enemy #1”)?
Yes! I am Charles Arthur Floyd, commonly known as “Pretty Boy” Floyd. I was named Public Enemy #1 after the death of John Dillinger on 22 Jul 1934, and held the title until I was killed by police three months later.
I thought you might have the answer when you asked about being a criminal.
Well done, EH!
Thanks! As it happens, Floyd was killed not far from my hometown of East Liverpool, Ohio. I knew people who’d seen his body brought into town for embalming and then displayed to gawking townsfolk.
