No, I am not Roger Maris.
No, I am not Ricky Martin.
No, I am not an American (neither north, central nor south).
Are you a New York folksinger?
No, I am not Rod MacDonald.
Less than six hours of sleep, ten and a half hour day, five hours commute. I’m going to have to bow out for a while. Can I give my DQ to someone else to use? (That wasn’t the DQ! 
)
I suppose. Or you could wait until this evening (I will not be on line much today).
Were you a photographer specializing in homosexual imagery?
Or perhaps you’re a founding member of a band named for a winged creature?
No, I am not Robert Mapplethorpe.
No, I am not Randy Meisner.
Did you climb Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen?
Bingo! (I did this twice - once solo.) I am in fact Reinhold Messner.
I figured that “roughly analogous to scuba diving” might describe mountaineering, so I first thought of “that Seven Years in Tibet guy”, only to discover he was Heinrich Harrer. I knew there was a “Reinhart Meisner” or something like that, so I Googled a few names of that sort until I discovered that Reinhold Messner was the man’s true identity.
Okay, I’ll be here until about 6:30 EDT tonight. My initials are PC.
Good work. His accomplishments are legendary - I doubt there’s anyone else who’s a strong candidate for “greatest mountaineer in history.” His solo, no-oxygen climb of Mt. Everest definitely falls into the category “Just because he did it doesn’t mean it’s possible.”
For another game, you should start another thread.
After discovering he is not American I also thought of mountain climbers. But I didn’t have a chance to look for him. Well played, Sternvogel!
I know Sternvogel has been around today - I saw him post elsewhere - bt I don’t see a round 8 thread. Should we set it up for him?
