[Edgar from the Malto meal commercials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S_z8cPPi3Q) 3. Baltimore Ravens named after Edgar Allen Poe’s poem. Sorry about the inadvertent Poe duplicate with De\_La\_Rue. Ironically this was a last minute entry to replace a different DQ that I had mistakenly thought overlapped a different of De\_La-Rue DQ. **DQ1: From Film, TV or Theater?** **DQ2: Male?** **Reserve 1DQ.** PS: Did anyone else first read De\_La\_Rue’s DQ as “kicked in **the** ‘I am the Walrus’” and assumed that “I am the Walrus” was an unusual euphemism for crotch? No? Just me I guess. ---
