> [@etv78](#): > > **Pacifist** -Jack Kemp is dead. My DQ: Did you hit a HR after Tommy Lasorda walked the guy in front of you, despite the fact you were killing the Dodgers?.. I think you may have deprived **Pacifist** of a DQ by revealing the answer; our longstanding practice has been to let players reveal their own answers. And as **MissTake** showed by her answer, that DQ is really more of an IQ. > [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > …I’ll reserve my third DQ to see if he’s an athlete. > > IQs: > > Did you warn that a particular woman might “get her tit caught in a wringer”? > Did you insist that you and your colleagues live and dine together to encourage a better team spirit? > Did you most famously play a long-suffering dad and a bluff admiral? Correct as to John Mitchell, talking about Kay Graham, publisher of the _Washington Post_. John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States, saw to this. John Amos played the dad in _Good Times_ and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in _The West Wing_. DQs: Are you now or have you been in sports broadcasting? Are you commonly thought of as being from east of the Miss. River? Is your wife famous in her own right? IQs: Were you from Indiana and engaged to a guy named Mark? Were you an underwear model married to a famous singer? Of your two sons, was one responsible in dealing with your papers, but the other very careless? ---

Capt. Kathryn Janeway of _Star Trek: Voyager_. Jill Goodacre of Victoria’s Secret fame, married to Harry Connick Jr. J.S. Bach divided his papers among two of his sons. We now have only about half as his music as we might otherwise. Would you update the answered DQ list, please? ---

> [@Wargamer](#): > > IQ1. Did you model underwear between starts? > > IQ2. Were you referred to by your team’s manager as a born liar? > > IQ3. Did you serve as a Swede’s foil during several Fortnights? 1. Jim Palmer, starting pitcheer for the Baltimore Orioles and underwear model. 2. Reggie Jackson. When asked by the media about Jackson and team owner George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin said one was a born liar and the other was convicted. 3. John McEnroe, who famously battled Bjorn Borg over several Wimbledon fortnights. DQ: Did you compete in a team sport during your athletic career? DQ: Do you currently broadcast the sport in which you competed? I will reserve my third DQ until these two are answered. ---
