Botticelli, Round 15

Thread Games
101

I’m not a Stanley Cup champion (James Link) or a Dodgers up-and-comer (James Loney).

102

Are you a prominent newscaster who is a bus enthusiast?

103

I followed up Jerry Lucas with John Lucas.

DQ: Are you “not of this earth” (i.e. from another planet, whether fictional or real)?

IQ: From 1983 to '89, did you celebrate Mother’s Day far more often than once a year?

104

Jacques Lemaire has won Stanley Cups as a player, GM, and coach?

Jean-Baptiste Lully, one of the great Baroque composers, used to pound on the floor with a big club, to keep the beat as he was conducting the royal orchestra. Once, while doing so, he stabbed himself in the foot with the club, it developed gangrene, and he died.

My two direct questions:

  1. Do you come from someplace other than Earth?

  2. Have you appeared in multiple books by the same author?

105

Psst, isn’t that the same question Sternvogel asked in the previous post?

106

Yes it is, so I’ll cheat and ask another question, confident that Elendil will never, ever notice.

DQ: Were you yourself killed in a book or story?

107

astorian, Lully was already asked in post 55 and answered in post 59. As I understand the rules of Botticelli, you can’t use the same person again by rephrasing the question. And although I always notice cheating, :wink: , I’ll answer one of your DQs.

Darryl, no, I’m not bus enthusiast Joan Lunden.

115

Wow, there are two newscasters who are bus enthusiasts? Mine was Jim Lehrer.

IQ: Are you a pretentious groveling twit parodied marvelously by Will Ferrell?

116

And Joan Lunden (whose bus devotion I was unaware of, if it indeed exists) was the answer to my overlooked question about Mother’s Day, which was the name of a show she hosted from 1983 to '89.

IQ: Did you write on civil government?

117

I’m not a carbolic acid pioneer (Joseph Lister), pretentious groveling twit (James Lipton), or writer on civil government (John Locke).

astorian, you’ve stumped me on the Emmy winner. Ask a DQ.

118
