Guess the Name!

Okay, this is very simple: You describe a famous person - author, artist, socialite, musician, whatever - and the next Doper has to guess/find out who it is.

Example:
Doper1: She’s tall and thin and blonde, likes little dogs, comes from a prominent family and has made a fortune with her cute-dumb-blonde image.
Doper2: Paris Hilton!

Okay? Good. I’ll start:

She was very short and thin, and half Jewish. She had big green eyes and dark hair. She wrote many poems and short stories, but no novels. She is often quoted as well as misquoted. She drank scotch whisky and smoked Chesterfield cigarettes. She was very smart but couldn’t cook.
Who is it?

(No one? Come on, it is too easy!)

Dorothy Parker

Next up:

The only Master Blaster. A swaggering colossus who wore a cap.
The fastest ton up, the best over one day, one of the 5 best ever.
A Carribbean captain of the highest standard.

Who is it?

Brainy chap - contributing Editor to the Wall Street Journal and aspiring politician. Recently retired from a world-class career (he started it at 6 and was already being talked about abroad aged 9 :eek: )

Correct! And did I mention I wuv the Tonstant Weader?

I think glee’s got me beat; I just don’t get it.

Everyone can feel free to contribute; this might get a little chaotic, but teh Amber likes it!:slight_smile: There really are no rules except for “describe someone famous and make everyone guess who it is” and maybe “drive dopers less geeky than you crazy”.:wink:
Making a right guess or finding out who someone is, is good, yet you don’t have to in order to be allowed to make another quiz.

Mmmkay? Good.

He’s a talented guitarist, and rather short for a Finnish man. Likes Yves Rocher kajal but has nothing to do with emo. Was born in ashes of molten hatred on international feng shui awareness day. Likes American muscle cars. Has cute bunny teeth.

You know who it is!
