[QUOTE=Darryl Lict]  
Are you a former Dodger Rookie of the Year “5 tool player” who turned out to be a bit of a tool?  
[/QUOTE]

Answer to DQ: No, I’m not a sports figure

I’m also not:

Reggie Mantle (Archie’s rival) or Rocky Marciano (undefeated heavyweight champ) or Reggie Miller (Spike Lee’s enemy).

That was **Rey Mysterio** ; a character with physical move mimicking powers uses one of his signature moves on a crook after seeing it once.

Direct question: are you male?

Indirect question: Are you a USGS employee with a strange interest in Amazonian flatulence?  
[/QUOTE]

Yes, I am male.

But I don’t know anything about Amazon farts. Ask another DQ\>

That would be Randy Marsh, Stan’s dad on _South Park_ (in a recent episode, he showed an interest in Brazilian fart porn :D).

Are you alive? (Acknowledging that “no” could either mean you are dead or you are fictional, as I believe the previous game asserted.)

Indirect question: Are you the first major claim to fame for Willard Scott?
