Botticelli -- June 2020

Does that include or exclude the 3 IQs I asked before you stated this?

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Exclude, PP, because I answered those.

@De_La_Rue

IQs:
1. Given that a character in it is based on you, is The Idle Warriors in a way the only book about you written before the event you’re associated with?
2. Was a joke around 1920s Hollywood “Don’t step on it—it might be” you?
3. Did you play Khadijah on Living Single?

Dunno, not Lon Chaney, and not Martin Lawrence.

No more IQs, please.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

IQ: From an HBO series?

Somethin’ screwy’s goin’ on here. I post answers and they don’t show up. Ah, well.

Correct on Laocoon.
#2 was Lugh, from Celtic mythology.
Correct on Lem.

I don’t watch that much HBO.

[SCAdian]

I watch veeeery little TV of any kind.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon EST tomorrow.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

DQ: Are you Lee Sizemore from Westworld?

[De_La_Rue]

Are you Lenny Belardo, AKA Pope Pius XIII from The Young Pope?

[SCAdian]

Pass.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

@De_La_Rue

Are you Lenny Belardo, AKA Pope Pius XIII from The Young Pope?

Dingdingding! Yes, I am indeed

Lenny Belardo

Played by Jude Law in an Emmy-nominated role.

The Young Pope

Good job, DLR!

Please start a new thread for July.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Well done, DLR! I’ve heard of The Young Pope but haven’t watched it.

[SCAdian]

Never heard of it.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

It’s worth a look, as is its sequel series, The New Pope. Funny, quirky, sometimes rather surreal, with a great cast and high production values.

[De_La_Rue]

I was thrown off a bit by answer 12 (“created, in part, by an English author or authors”), but went for Lenny anyway. Is that a reference to Jude Law’s being English?
