Late October 2012 Botticelli

Thread Games
101

I’ll rephrase the first; Lois Wilson is not who I was thinking of.
Willa Cather.
Washington Irving, allegedly shown to George Washington on a New York City street.

DQs:

Born since 1950?
Last name starts with W?

By Botticelli custom, we’re agreed that “alive” means “real,” right?

IQs:

After your second husband died, did you burn all but a few letters from your long correspondence with him?
Was arguably your best-known movie filmed in a very cold, abandoned hotel?
Were you will to accept a demotion for your character if he could have a long, dramatic monologue?

102

IQ1: Are you a sculpted figure with a thing for Wensleydale cheese?
IQ2: Did Mr. Drummond take in you and your little brother?
IQ3: Is your painting “Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1” better known by the identity of your relative that it depicts?

103

My last IQ should be:

104

Psst… I think you missed some IQs in post #87…

105
  1. Is Lyle Waggoner, who was replaced by Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett Show. Conway is the voice of Barnacles Boy
  2. Will.I.am

DQ1: Are you involved in the Arts as usually defined in this game?

Will pend second DQ

106

DQ1: Are you an athlete?
DQ2: Are you a politician?

The receiver is Wes Welker, BTW.

107

On your last question, I’m understanding “alive” to mean “not dead.”

As for the DQs:

Born before 1950
Last name starts with W

Summary for W:

  1. Male
  2. Alive (i.e. not dead)
  3. American
  4. Born before 1950
  5. Last name starts with W

I’ll get to the others later today–just on a break right now.

108

IQ1: Were you the title character of a series of books devoted to finding you?

IQ2: Did you portray a “very clean” grandfather?

IQ3: When your former bandmates reunited without you using the your former band’s name, did you disparage them as being “like George and Ringo getting together and calling themselves the Beatles”?

109

Headygoodness:Your 1st IQ was already answered. :wink:

I’m not Wayne of Wayne’s World, or Healey Willan (sp?). No idea about “Beautiful Dreamers”–DQ for you.

111

Okay, you’ve got me on the wife who burned letters. No idea on the hotel (all I can think involving hotels that are close to the criteria are Stanley Kubrick for The Shining and Alfred Hitchcock for Psycho); or the demoted character. Three DQs.
