IQ 1: Did you have a 10K bounty on your head?
IQ 2: “I love you, you love me; We’re a happy family”
IQ 3: Were you seen at the sawmill the day you jumped to your death?

3

I’m not Brett Favre
2 DQs

4

Barney, the much reviled dinosaur
Billy Joe McAllister, of the song “Ode to Billy Joe”

DQ 1: Are you male?
DQ 2: Are you currently living?

5

I’m a living man.

BTW,“I hate you, you hate me, we’ll kill Barney happily, no more purple dinosaur.” :wink:

6

IQ1: Are you George Peppard’s most famous role?

IQ2: Are you a (retired) Canadian Figure skater?

IQ3: Did one of your greatest hits express your optimism through being unable to locate large feline predators?

7

I always heard it as, “I hate you, you hate me, we’re a dysfunctional family; then a shot rang out and Barney hit the floor–no more purple dinosaur.”

Okay, some IQs:

IQ1: Were you an Irish king who has a traditional piece of music (a march) named for him?
IQ2: Are you a Simpsons character with large feet and an unfortunate habit of stepping on every rake in the vicinity?
IQ3: Did you direct such films as Carrie and Phantom of the Paradise?

8

I’m not from the A-Team
Not Chris Bowman
DQ

Spoons: 3 DQs

9

IQ1 was looking for Brian Boru (and the piece of music is called “Brian Boru’s March”). IQ2 was looking for Sideshow Bob, and IQ3 was looking for Brian De Palma.

DQ: First name start with B?
DQ: American?
DQ: Known for achievements in the arts?

10

I had quite forgotten about the A-Team; George Peppard’s character there was John ‘Hannibal’ Smith - no ‘B’. I was after ‘Banacek’, from the early 70s.

I’m afraid Chris Bowman is American, not Canadian. I was after Brian Boitano.

One of **Bruce Cockburn’s ** biggest hits was ‘Wonderin’ Where the Lions Are’.

So - I’ll wait until Spoons’ three DQs are answered, as we asked exactly the same things…
Previous DQs -
1: Male.
2: Living. (Which I assume means you are not fictional.)

11

Ministre- I’m 99.9% sure you reversed the nationalities of youer Brians.

I’m a living American male, involved in the arts whose 1st name begins “B”.

12

And you posed the question well. I was able to figure it out, but it took me a while. When it clicked, it clicked. Good question!

Let’s summarize:

  1. Male
  2. Living
  3. American
  4. Involved in the arts
  5. First name begins “B”
13

etv78 - you are absolutely right! Brian Orser is the Canadian Brian, Brian Boitano is the American Brian.

I withdraw my DQ, and am now wearing a paper bag over my head.

IQ1: Are you one in a family of brothers, married to the daughter of famous musicians?
IQ2: Are you the Gramps to a well known multi-cultural brood of kids?
