And that’s twenty. Following SOP, those who were awarded DQs for this game (Prof P, Knowed Out and Elendil’s Heir) may each ask one final DQ phrased as “Are you Firstname Lastname?”

I shall return…

Having absolutely no good idea whatsoever,

DQ: Are you Rin Tin Tin?

No.

Hmm. Still stumped. Lemme think…

I concede. I’m totally drawing a blank.

Oh, what the hell.

Are you Randolph Scott?

No.

I am aviator, polar explorer and Medal of Honor recipient Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, Jr.

And when Prof P asked if I had an uncommon first name, I had to resist the temptation to answer “Well, not every Tom, Dick or Harry has a name like mine, but some of them do…”

OK, SCAdian! Good choice.

Yes, definitely. Well played.

Shall we try Y?

Y not?

  1. Did you create the comic strip Blondie?
  2. Did you sue Hanna-Barbera over a character’s name?
  3. Did you “Yust Go Nuts At Christmas”?

Already can’t think of that many Y names…

IQ1: Are you a New Age musician from Greece?
IQ2: Are you a stand-up comic from Russia?
IQ3: Are you the first American League player to hit over 400 home runs?

I seriously considered being Chic Young, but decided to go with another person - which is good, because it would be downright embarrassing to lose the game on the very first IQ…
