[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir]

**Sternvogel** … you got me. Ask your DQ.  
[/QUOTE]

Jerry Lucas played basketball for the Ohio State Buckeyes, San Francisco Warriors, and New York Knick(erbocker)s. He also gained fame as [a memory expert,](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lucas) able to perform such feats as recalling and repeating the names of all members of a studio audience.

DQ: Are you from Asia?

IQ: Are three of your great loves basketball, tennis, and cocaine?

I’m not a bad Apple album guy (Jackie Lomax), a Bolivian-born violinist (Jaime Laredo) or a killer organ soloist (Jon Lord).

**astorian** , you stumped me with two questions (Team America spoof, “Hey Schoolgirl”). Ask two DQs.

Likewise **Freudian** re: “Arli$$” and “Death Trap,” **Darryl** for huge hot testicles, :dubious: and **Sternvogel** for basketball, tennis and cocaine. Ask your DQs, please.

“Team America” spoofed Jonathan Larson’s “Rent” (with a musical called “Lease”).

Simon and Garfunkel’s first hit was “Hey Schoolgirl,” an Everly Brothers style song that they released under the aliases Tom Graph and Jerry Landis (Tom & Jerry)

My direct questions:

1. Was the book or story you first appeared in written within the past 50 years?

2. Have you ever killed another sentient being?
