> [@Enginerd](#): > > IQ1: Are you hellbent on killing a small yellow boy? > IQ2: Did you encourage over-privileged East Bay kids to take a holiday in Cambodia? > IQ3: Are you a cantankerous pitcher who once told his catcher “the only thing you know about pitching is that it’s hard to hit”? These were Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons, Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra, and Hall of fame pitcher Bob Gibson (who’s a real person and therefore not your guy). DQ: (since you sort of gave this away) Are you an athlete? I’ll reserve the two other DQs for now. **etv** , can you compile the DQ answers the way other people have during the game? I think some things may have gotten lost in **Wargamer’s** list (he’s listed as fictional, for example, but your answers implied this without explicitly stating it). It’s generally better to have the person who knows the answers to that job, and it would be a big help to the rest of us. Thanks! ---

Right on Bert. Basil Liddell-Hart was a British inter-war theorist who championed the “Indeirect Approach” to warfare, attacking your opponent where he was weakesgt or did not expect you. And James Bond often irritated ‘M’ and ‘Q’ during his missions for Her Majesty. I’ll hold off until the pending DQ is answered. ---
