Botticelli - October 2024

Okay – I’m confused. (It’s been a long day…)

All DQs have been asked and answered – please ask your “Firstname Lastname” DQs by 0700 Eastern Wednesday morning.

Discourse is also confused, it seems. Searches (both by Ctrl-F and by using the magnifying glass) tell me that #132 is the last post in this thread to include any of the words “slow”, “moving” or “vehicle”.

Kay, Kaye, Kate, Katie…

Well, I have an idea.

Can I take a guess?

kitap, you can have my DQ guess, but I think we’ve past the cutoff time.

Aargh. Obviously my brain decided to take yesterday off.

“… by 0700 Eastern Thursday morning.”

You were awarded at least one DQ in the course of this game,so you have an “Are you Firstname Lastname” DQ to use, as long as you do so in the next eighteen-and-a-bit hours.

Are you Karen Ann Quinlan?

That’s a good guess.

Karen was the only name I could think of that you might not realize is a form of Katherine.

Yes! I am Karen Ann Quinlan, known for having spent a year in a coma and then, after being disconnected from the ventilator, continuing to breathe on my own for nine more years before finally dying.

All yours, kitap – I had it, you got it!

Woot!
