Better yet,
IQ: Did you sing of an ill-fated love in El Paso?
I would give you another DQ, but:
Yes, I am multiple Grammy winner* and Country Music Hall of Fame member Marty Robbins.
- Best Country & Western Recording 1961, El Paso
Best Country Song 1971, My Woman, My Woman, My Wife
Hall of Fame Award 1998, El Paso
Well done, Prof. Pepperwinkle! Looking forward to the next round!
Thanks. The 1st one was Merle Haggard.
And now, I am Z.
Should have thought of Merle Haggard - there’s an amusing clip on YouTube (or at least there used to be) of him doing an impression of Marty, with Marty watching. The expression on his face is priceless.
Anyhoo…
IQ1: Are you Don Diego de la Vega?
IQ2: Were you filming in Texas 50 years ago?
IQ3: Did you speak thusly?
I am not El Zorro.
I am not Zapruder.
Take a DQ for #3.
I have a feeling this one will be brief.
IQ1: Are you an animated children’s character who would often declare that it’s “time for bed”?
IQ2: Are you the ancient patriarch for whom the character is named?
IQ3: Was a statue of you one of the seven wonders of the world?
I’m guessing at Zechariah (who I am not) for #2, but take a DQ for #1 in any case.
I’m not Zeus.
1 was Zebedee from the Magic Roundabout
2 was the original Zebedee, about whom I know nothing but the name
3 was Zeus, as you said.
IQ: Did you make your exorbitant contract worth it by winning a World Series game?
Take a DQ.
That was Barry Zito of the SF Giants (he signed a 7/126 contract and was a bust)
DQ: Real?
DQs:
- Real
IQ: Did you get your start playing in the Mayfair Club?
IQ1: Did you strike a policeman “not hard enough”?
IQ2: Did you headbutt an opposing footballer in the chest?
IQ3: Did you die after eating contaminated cherries and milk?
DQs - feel free to disregard if you believe my identification of Zebedee as a patriarch was misleading.
DQ1: Are you male?
DQ2: Are you currently alive?
Take a DQ.
I’m not Zachary Taylor (#3). Take 2 more DQs.
DQs:
- Real
- Male
- Dead
1: Then you are not Zsa-zsa Gabor.
2: Then you are not Zinedine Zidane.
3: As you said, Zachary Taylor.
That was poker player Steve Zolotow
DQ: American?
