Also, my last’s still open: > [@](#): > > I have a laundry list of phychological ‘issues’ - ranging from ADD to pyromania. My parents have a lively sex life despite my father’s physical infirmities. I suspect one of my brothers may be gay. The other definitely is not. My younger sister is the ‘normal’ one in the family. Relatively speaking, that is. (And with my relatives…) I was actually happy when my father lost his health insurance. Also, my mom’s a drunk, and the cat has a pack a day habit. ---

I’m still unaccounted for. If you haven’t guessed me by now, you haven’t seen the movie. To recap: [ul] [li]I need to get this briefcase for this girl. First, I had to get this obnoxious kid off the team, but now I’ve been betrayed by the computer geek. I could really use the money from this heist, tho; so I’m gonna get it.[/li] [li]I may or may not be military. In fact, I may or may not be a whole lot of different things. I did go through interrogation once. They finally broke me with a grasshopper. What’s a grasshopper, you ask? Well, it’s two parts gin, one part brandy, one part creme de menthe…[/li] [li]I’m an American, but I am working with an ex-KGB (who fucked us), an Irish girl, an American who’s a good driver, a frenchman (who turns out to be alright), and a wanker who claims to be ex-SAS. I ambushed him with a cup of coffee; got him off the team team before he could get me killed.[/li] [li] **New Info:** The first first thing they taught me was whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt. Who taught me that? I don’t remember - that’s the second thing they taught me.[/li][/ul] …(answer)… I am Sam, from _Ronin_. It’s a really good action flick. Go rent it; you won’t be disappointed. 5.) I am a master assassin. My arch-enemy never even uses a gun, but I can never kill him. It’s personal now. I had to kidnap him and call a truce once so that he could help me rescue my daughter… ---

Wow. Lots of clues, no answers. > [@tdn](#): > > Even though I’m named for a food, I’m not fat, really. Praise the Lord! It’s OK to read the spoiler, it’s part of the clue. Another hint: Me and my new boyfriend haven’t sinned. We wouldn’t do anything Pete Rose wouldn’t do. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > Are you THE Duncan McCloud? Nope. He’s a fighter, but I wouldn’t call him an assassin. I’ll post another persona. Which will actually be a clue for #5. There will be a trend between this new one, #5, and an old one. 6.) I’m a little bit off-the-wall (or off my rocker), but I always mean well. I can fly anything from a helicopter to a jet-plane. I work with a small group (we’re all men) who solve problems for people. If you can afford us. ---
