Is the rule you have to have earned a DQ before you can ask a Firstname Lastname Q? This one went by so fast I didn’t get a chance to ask any IQs. (Stupid work)

193

:woman_shrugging:t3: No idea, but I say go for it.

194

No objection, but yes, that is the rule.

Previous IQs:

Did you lose at Fredericksburg in 1862? - Yes, Ambrose Burnside
Did you lose at Chattanooga in 1864? - Braxton Bragg
Were you the only Jewish person in the Confederate Cabinet? - Judah P. Benjamin

Two DQs reserved.

Lemme see… the bad guy in a horror (not sf) movie released 1990-2000, first name B, and dies in the movie. Hmm. I don’t know my Nineties horror movies all that well.

195

Agreed, it’s the rule, but go for it.

Suggestions for DQs:

  1. Are you the main antagonist?
  2. From one in a series of horror films?
  3. Ordinary first name?

Thanks everyone.

Are you Billy Loomis, one of the two people wearing the Ghostface mask in the original Scream?

If you haven’t seen the films, each movie has a different killer or set of killers wearing the mask (at least in the first three, which is all I’ve seen)

198

Yes! I am Billy Loomis!

The head ‘baddun’ from the original Scream movie!

Congratulations @ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness

199

Good one**, Chock!**

I was thinkin’ Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.

200

Congrats, Chock!

Same here (though he appeared in the novel first, and there’s the question of how to interpret “first name begins with B, last name doesn’t, ordinary first name”–is “Bill” the first name? Is “Buffalo” the first name? Is Gumb the last name?). Anyway, it’s now a moot point (congrats again).
