May I ask that you specify which IQs you’re answering, **knoodler** , if you’re not answering every one? Previous IQs: Did you lose the Battle of Fredericksburg? - Gen. Ambrose Burnside Were you a Reconstruction-era Governor of Mississippi? - Adelbert Ames Were you one of the leaders of Organia? - Ayelborne, in _ST:TOS_ “Errand of Mercy” Wow, Discourse actually knew the correct spelling of Ayelborne (I thought there was a “u” in there)! DQs: More like a country song? A good guy? Song won a Grammy? IQs: You were a fictional military officer. Did your daughter’s first name start with the same letter as yours? Were you that daughter? Were you a badass female cartoon character who got her own poorly-reviewed movie? ---
