Well, I’m stuck. I still can’t think of the name of the sheriff in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’, only that he was played by Jackie Gleason. There was also the ‘Walking Tall’ series of films, but that character was Buford something or other - no ‘P’. I was hoping that Agent Coulson might have appeared in something filmed pre-1980, but that was a shot in the dark. I’d happily pass my remaining DQ on to anyone who can use it. I’m beat, fair and square. ---

Same here. I’ve got a couple of DQs outstanding–they’re available to anyone who wants them. ---

Buford T. Pusser? I can’t be making that up, can I? Anyway, that’s a ‘P’ for a last name. What the fuck, I’ll give it a shot… DQ: Is your first name Peter (or one of its derivatives like ‘Pete’…)? ---

Is there a Monday where Eastern Daylight Time and Eastern Standard Time combine in Ohio? 🙂 Hoping we can get the November thread started before it’s December! 😃 ---

**Le Ministre** had an additional guess, so I didn’t end this round on Monday. But now I will. I was thinking of “Popeye” Doyle, antihero of the two _French Connection_ movies, and the role that put Gene Hackman on the Hollywood map: [Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye_Doyle) Thanks for playing!

Well played, sir!! I remember that iconic image of the drug dealer being shot in the back while running up the steps, yet I had no inkling that was who you were after. In other words, a perfect Botticelli loss for me… I must find what solace I may in the fact that I actually managed to get you on two poets, Strider. Onward!! ---

Thanks. I’d just seen _The French Connection_ for the first time a few weeks ago. It wasn’t his given name, but everyone called him “Popeye.” I don’t think his given name was even used in the movies. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/late-october-2012-botticelli/638026.md?page=11)
