No, and I don’t know who you mean. Ask a DQ.

DQ: Are you a writer?

Hmmm let’s see, did Kurt Vonnegut create you?

Yes.

No, and I don’t know who you mean.

Separated by 30 years, did James Caan and Sean Maher both “sing your praises”?

No, and I don’t know who Brian’s Song was about.

Brian’s Song was about Brian Picollo. I’ll cede my direct question to the next poster–I’m ok at the "stump the game master " part, but I can never think of a good question to ask.

Are you currently a starting pitcher for the Dodgers?

No, and I don’t know who you mean.

Brad Penny

DQ: Are you primarily considerd a writer of fiction?

Did you murder Kevin Bacon and all his friends on screen?

I wouldn’t say primarily a writer of fiction.

No, and I don’t know who you mean (I can’t think of any BP actors other than Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton)

Did you keep a pet dragon named Spot under the stairs of your house?

That’s fair enough. Some authors mix it up pretty well.

In the original “Friday the 13th,” Jason wasn’t the killer. The killer was his mother, played by Betsy Palmer.

Did you live/work in the British Isles?
