Thread Games
141

IQ1: Did Father McKenzie preside over your funeral?
IQ2: Have you been good, evil, dead, a zombie, a nursemaid to a mutant throughout your career?
IQ3: Are you a famous environmental activist?

142

IQ1: Uh, you’re not Isildur’s dad, are you? Just checking.
IQ2: Are you a villain frequently depicted stroking a white cat?
IQ3: Are you awfully fond of your rubber duckie?

143

I’m not Eddie Rickenbacker. Dunno who the next two are; take two DQs.

Dunno the first; I’m not Elijah or Ezekiel.

I’m not Eleanor Rigby, but dunno the second or third. You get two DQs, too.

Heh. No, I’m not Elendil the Tall. Neither am I Dr. Evil nor Ernie.

144

Edward “Eddie” Rickenbacker is right.
Edward “Mick” Mannock.
Edward “Butch” O’Hare.

DQs:
Real?
American?

145

Elektra and Erin Brockovich
DQs:

146

IQs:

Is your cousin Marilyn considered the unattractive one in the family?
Did you preach about sinners in the hands of an angry God?
Are you currently sixth in line for the throne of the UK?

147

Eric Clapton, who was one of The Band’s many special guests. He had his guitar strap on wrong - when the guitar came out of the strap, Robbie Robertson had to take a solo while Eric manhandled his guitar back on. Look at about :45 in this clip.

Correct about Elijah - the other one is Enoch, the father of Methuselah. Genesis states that he ‘walked with God and was no more’, which has been taken to mean that he was bodily lifted into heaven. This led to much prophetic writing that claimed to be derived from Enoch.

DQs:

Does your last name begin with ‘E’?

I’ll reserve my other DQ for a while…

148

Dunno about the first, I’m not John Edwards (the early preacher or the recent candidate), and I’m not Prince Edward.

E.

  1. Not real
  2. Nationality indeterminate
  3. Male
  4. Not known for contributions to the arts
  5. First name starts with “E”

Question 2 is tricky, but I can’t definitively say whether he is or isn’t American.

Cashing in my DQ from post # 147 -

Did you first appear in a work of printed literature, be it a novel, play, poem, short story or comic book?

150

IQ1: Were you a lousy ski jumper at the 1988 Winter Olympics?

IQ2: Did you write The Loved One, among other works?

IQ3: Were you once married to Valerie Bertinelli?

151

Actually, the preacher was Jonathan Edwards.

Eddie Munster’s cousin Marilyn was considered unattractive by the rest of the family because she didn’t meet their standards of “normal.”
Prince Edward is number seven; number six is his niece (Andrew’s daughter), Princess Eugenie of York.

DQs after I get home from work…
