Botticelli Game #35

I’m stumped on the Canadian astronaut, the baseball player and the philanderer killed by a jealous husband.

Kid A gets two DQ’s.

Biffy gets one.

Matty Groves was killed by Lord Donald, Arlen, Arnold, or Bernard, depending on which version of the ballad you know.

Are you a character on a television series?

Have you ever called a cop “sugartits”?

Marcus Giles (Played with his brother Brian in San Diego)
Marc Garneau (Astronaut)

Sigh. I’m almost as bad with the current NHL as with British cricket players.

Ask a DQ

Marian Gaborik of the Minnesota Wild.

Are you a female German biathlete?

Sigh… tell you what: from now on, just write “Foreign athlete” and ask a DQ

Seriously, I couldn’t name ANY biathletes of either gender from ANY country. Ask your DQ

Did you play a hero who defended against Graboids, Shriekers, and Ass-Blasters?

Not Michael “Tremors” Gross (I loved the original movie… was less fond of sequels and TV series)

Heh.

Foreign athlete.
Foreign athlete.
Foreign athlete.
Foreign athlete.
Foreign athlete.

Five DQs! :smiley:

Naw, I wouldn’t do that to you. But it was Martina “Molly” Glagow.

DQ: Are you best known for appearing in a TV show?

Hmmm… the answer is PROBABLY yes. I’m not being evasive. If you knew who I’m thinking of, you’d probably agree that most people know him as a TV character. But that’s not all he is.

When people make fun of the armed forces of France, are you one of the people they have in mind?

Hmm… I enjoy a good French-bashing joke as much as the next guy, but I can’t think of many truly cowardly or disgraceful French military officers (save for the collaborators, like Petain).

Ask a DQ.

I was thinking of Maurice Gamelin, and, to be fair, his problem wasn’t “coward”, but “too old (and not just in age) for the job”.

DQ: Were you a character used in sketches as part of a program, rather than as the sole focus?

IQ: Were you a television quizmaster and the provost of a major university at the same time?
