At this late stage may I still join to make IQ’s? and DQ’s if earned?

242

It’s OK with me if it’s OK with the other players.

243

Certainly! Welcome to the game!

244

Well, thanks all. How about IQs:

  1. Are you the personification of the USA?

  2. Did you perform with any family members?

  3. Did you perform with an English school boys uniform on?

I read most of the thread but yet happily apologize for any repeats.

245

Yes, I am Angus Young! He is the guitarist for AC/DC. Origin questions were hard to answer, as he was born in Scotland, and his family moved to Australia when he was 5, so he would really identify as Australian.

Here’s a video of Who Made Who, where a bunch of AC/DC fans dress as him and do his dance moves.

Congrats MonkeyMensch! You get the next round with Z, then we’ll go back to free form.

246

Good job, Monkey! I’m not a follower of AC/DC myself, so I wouldn’t have come up with him.

247

May I defer to another doper who’s been in the game until I get my Boticelli cap back on? It’s been years… Volunteers? I’m happy to join in but have serious gearing up to do. Thanks…

Actually, being “technically British” was a clue since he was born in Scotland which is occasionally forgotten as being part of Great Britain.

248

Nor am I a fan but I got an involuntary life time’s worth of the group from college roommates.

249

And I’m OK to grab the reins too, if no-one else is up for it…

250

I can go ahead right now with a solvable one so we can either make it to 1)‘A’ or freestyle, or 2)March. Fire away! Shoot, with 'Z’s the DQs ought to pile up in a hurry anyway…

251

Good job, MM, and welcome to the game!
