DQ: Are you Jesus Quintana from The Big Lebowski ?

I am not.

Well, The Big Lebowski fits the rest of the parameters. Are you Jackie Treehorn?

Dingdingding!

Yes, I am indeed

Jackie Treehorn

a porn kingpin not to be trifled with, played by Ben Gazzara in my favorite Coen Bros. movie, The Big Lebowski.

Well done, DLR!

Great job, DLR!

Bravo!

(I’ve never heard of either of those guys.)

/slaps head

I was thinking of Jesus from The Big Lebowski; I never thought of Jackie Treehorn.

That was a great pull, DLR! And great pick, E_H!

Yeah, Jesus was my guess as well, but since everything matched up I thought I might as well think of other Lebowski characters.

OK:

I am B.
