Right. And note that UM changed the word "principal" in my question (the correct usage) to "principle" (the incorrect usage). Anyone can take my general.

Howdy yall! BraveHat This is desperate for an update but by the looks of it some of you hve been busy over labor day too. I went camping down in Brown County IN and had a blast despite the rain and lack of internet. First off I will not be accepting Pee-Wee Herman as Pee-Wee is a noun (IMO) not an adjective. There are still any generals to be asked so lets get cracking on those. And lastly stop asking stumpers I know that I know but I don't know,....ya know. =)




I am not Poncho. (spelling???)
I am not Mary Poppins.



Stumpers:
Are you a forer racecar driver, now involved in buying Saturn? (jesternl)
Are you Ferris Bueller's girlfriend? (Dread Pirate Weasley)
Are you the potato-filled noodle? (Courk)
Were you the Basset for Weather Report? (Quailman)





Generals:
1 to Cordy
1 to Jack Ian
2 to rm
1 to Courk
1 to Poisonium
1 to Zag
1 to Lepton
1 to jesternl




Info:
Are you male? Yes
Are you alive? Yes
Are you an American? No

What he said. It's difficult impossible to ask generals that narrow it down when you don't know the answers to the last general question(s).

Another stumper: Did you run unsuccessfully for President of the United States several times in the 70s and 80s (and I think maybe 90s)?

OK, I've received UM's PM, and there are two questions I'd have answered differently.

Are you an American? Yes
Are you known for being in the entertainment industry? Yes


Your mileage may vary of course.

Hmm. Sort of American, and sort of entertainment. Well, I actually already used the general I had, but I probably wouldn't have asked that if the entertainment question had been answered differently, so I'll just take a freebie.

General: Were you born in another country but now reside in the U.S.?

As Maradona is considered by some to be the 2nd greatest soccer player of all time, this almost has to be Pele (with one of those accent things over the second e, don't know the ascii for it off-hand).
