> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Do you have a fresh cousin from Philadelphia? > Is your Uncle a lawyer? > Do you like Tom Jones? The first is, I suppose, from _The Fresh Prince of Bel Air_, and the third is the girl from _Tom Jones_, but I don’t know any of their names. Take three DQs (the last of this round). C. 1.

Well, it seems that **Morgenstern** has earned some DQs but not asked them yet, so I’ll continue with some IQs. IQ1: Are you a slack-jawed yokel, some of whose children are named Rumor, Scout, and International Harvester? IQ2: Were you the youngest one in curls? IQ3: Did you mysteriously disappear, never to be heard of again, from a sitcom that took place in late-50s/early-60s Milwaukee? ---

The other two were Carlton “Pudge” Fisk and Papa John Creach. Unfortunately, I’m fresh out of DQ ideas - anybody else is welcome to use them. ---
