> [@AppallingGael](#): > > No, I am not Sennacherib II-C, inclusive? I was actually thinking of **Sargon** (and there’s at least one other S-monarch in the annals of Assyria). Sargon II was Sennacherib’s father. (Was there a Sennacherib II? I’m not sure, but I thought Sennie was too close to the end to have had any other Assyrian monarchs take his name.) Should I get a DQ? I leave it to you… ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > IQ: Did you once call your future boss a gorilla and refuse to work with him? Well, Charlie Sheen called his costar a troll, but I know of no Sheenian gorilla remark. It was Edwin Stanton, a bigshot lawyer who once refused to work on a big case with some backwoods hick named Abraham Lincoln, and then years later served as his Secretary of War. DQ: Real? IQ: Was your lovely daughter named Elanor? ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > IQ: Did you advise people to “avoid fried meats which angry up the blood”? This was one of pitcher Satchel Paige’s rules for living – the list is worth looking up if you’re not familiar with it. DQ: Are you currently alive? IQ: Are you a baseball player who got his nickname because he never stuck with any team for too long? ---

I am not currently alive. “Shuttle” rings a bell for the nickname part, but in any case I can’t come up with the player, so ask another DQ.. 1. Male 2. Real 3. Dead ---

1. The sportswriter/commentator who has a celebrity chef brother is Skip Bayless (his brother is Southwestern cuisine guru Rick Bayless). 2. The man who wrote a gossip column called “Little Old New York” was Ed Sullivan. 3. Pete Sinfield wrote bizarre, sci-fi/fantasy themed lyrics for King Crimson’s 15 minute songs… and now writes pop lyrics for 3 minute songs like “Think Twice” by Celine Dion. DQ1: Are you American? DQ2: Does your last name start with “S”? DQ3: Are you remembered for work in “the arts”?
