I was going to point out that you’ve already used one of EH’s DQs, but I double checked and you do still have three reserved. Are you sure you want to use that as one of them?

Sorry about the delay. This weather is killing me – I had to go take a nap.

Surprised you didn’t want to use your other DQs, and that divemaster didn’t want to use the remaining one from EH, in case you were wrong, but…  
Yes, I am **D** yan Cannon.

I did come in to post a DQ, but when I saw the guess, I figured that had to be it.

IQs for Q:

IQ1: Were you an All-Star relief pitcher with a distinctive delivery style?  
IQ2: Were you a highly-quotable flamboyant British raconteur who had a long-running one-man stage show?  
IQ3: Were you a member of Tom Cruise’s IMF team in Mission Impossible III?
