[GAME] Botticelli Oct 2014

Okay, so I didn’t wait until tomorrow…

That was quick.***** Big and dumb as a man can come, but stronger than a country hoss, I am indeed pool-shootin’ son of a gun Big Jim Walker.

So in your opinion, who’s the protagonist of that song - Jim, or Slim?

  • Though I really am surprised it took this long to figure it out…

Slim’s the protagonist, just check the lyrics.

Good morning! I am X!

But the title indicates that Jim’s the protagonist…
IQ1: Did you lead the ten thousand?
IQ2: Are you the Spanish-born bandleader I would have used for this round? :slight_smile:
IQ3: Were you the main character in a film that shared its title with a Dylan song?

I am not Xerxes I.
I am not Xavier Cugat.
Take a DQ for #3.

You have a point. Looking at the lyrics, I am forced to admit that Jim is indeed the protagonist, whose comeuppance is the burden of the story.

As my wife said, a strong case could be made for either of them.

Xenophon.
Correct.
Xavier Quinn (The Mighty Quinn).
For a change of pace:
DQ1: Fictional?
DQ2: Female?
IQ1: Were you one of the first members of the Society of Jesus?
IQ2: Do you run an unusual school in Westchester County?
IQ3: Were you a student at Sunnydale High?

This round shouldn’t take long.

IQ1: Were you the leader of China after Mao Zedong?
IQ2: Are you an African-American Muslim minister aka El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz?
IQ3: Are you a warrior princess played by Lucy Lawless?

DQs:

  1. Real
  2. Male

I am not St. Francis Xavier.
I am not Prof. Charles Xavier.
I am not Xander Harris.

Take a DQ for #1.
I am not Malcolm X.
I am not Xena, Warrior Princess.

Rules question: Is it permitted to ask an IQ about someone who’s previously been the answer to an IQ for the current letter (though, presumably, worded differently?)

Ah, the joy of X.

IQ1: Did you write an advice column in a magazine?
IQ2: Are you the code name of a Canadian secret agent?
IQ3: Did you invade the Earth millions of years ago?

Nope. No repeats of guessing individuals in the same round. Which, given the short list of X, is a very good question to ask.

Take DQs for #1 and #3. I am not Weapon X.

IQ) Did Lynn Regrave play you, in the movie version of your scandalous autobiography?

IQ2) Despite being an AThenian, did your histories idealize the militaristic oligarchy of Sparta?

IQ3) Were you TIme magazine’s Man of the Year in 1978?

Take DQs for 1 and 3. Xenophon has already been guessed, and I am not him.

Xaviera Hollander wrote ***The Happy Hooker; ***. Lynn Regrave played her in a movie

Chinese premier Deng Xiaoping was Time Man of the Year in 1978.
