You guys always have the intellectual better of me, but I’ll dip my toe back in for a few games.

  1. Did you bring shame upon your family and yourself thanks to unspecified goings on with a goat?
  2. Were you continually foiled in your Sisyphean quest to capture a bird?

Dinah, of course! :smack:

Welcome back, Dead Cat! You know you’re always welcome here. Not Aberforth Dumbledore, dunno, and dunno (someone from Caddyshack, maybe?)

D.

  1. real
25

Dumbledore junior indeed, and perhaps you have heard of Dick Dastardly? :slight_smile: Also, Dean Martin.

27

Correct with Sir Derek. Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter never quite got that knighthood, but Sir David Jason did.

Sorry, will try to be less UK-centric going forward (I figured Only Fools and Horses was probably pretty popular in the US, though).

31

My last go for the day. The poker player I was going for was Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson, but I realised too late that the question is formulated incorrectly - I should have included “back to back” (Johnny Moss won in 1970, 1971, and 1974, but I don’t count 1970 as it was decided by vote rather than being a poker tournament as we know it today). So scratch that one. The other was Dolly Parton - Dolly x3!

It was indeed a triple Dennis but for the first two I was thinking of Dennis Hopper in Speed (Dennis Weaver was in *Duel *but played the driver of the car rather than the psycho in the truck) and Dennis the Menace (Dennis Lehane was born in 1965 so doesn’t meet the criteria). If Dennis Weaver was in something else that fits the first question I’ll happily yield on that one. Rodman is correct.

  1. Did you take a famous voyage on the Beagle?
