Undercover Monkicelli

[Undercover Monk]

I am not Pink???

I will not be accepting frebies for the entertainment question because I don not consider his field falling under entertainment, but I can see how you could argue it is. The American substitute is OK, because there is a very strong argument he is American. However I will answer you question Zag by using one of Courks offered generals. Oh and if someone will confirm the Seinfeld question I will give another general.


I was born in another country but now reside in the states.


Did you run unsuccessfully for President of the United States several times in the 70s and 80s? (Quialman)
Are you Ferris Bueller's girlfriend? (Dread Pirate Weasley)
Were you the Basset for Weather Report? (Quailman)
Are you now, or have you ever been a member of Led Zepplin (Quailman)
Did you lend your name to a style of debate and to a branch of positivism in the philosophy of science? (Lepton)

[Quailman]

You may drop the stumper about Weather Report's bass player. It's been there long enough. His name is Jaco Pastorius.

[Cordelia]

G: Ethnically, would you be considered Caucasian?

Were you a prominent Roman prefect, primarily remembered for your judgment against a self-styled king regarded as undermining Roman authority?

[Undercover Monk]

I am not Pontius Pilate

I am caucasion


I will add this to a real update later but there you go.

[ralphmerridew]

If that was targeted at me, Pink wasn't my intended answer; I have no idea who she is.

[L'lanmal]

Appropriate members of Led Zepplin include Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.

I have a general?
G: Have you had at least one book published in your name? (That is, as author)

[MatthewV]

Are you the name the PADIA icons once spelled?

[L'lanmal]

S: Did you give us Hope, on the second try?

[Duke Gnome]

G: Have you had at least one book published in your name? (That is, as author) Yes

Are you male? Yes
Are you alive? Yes
Are you an American? No (UM) Yes (DG)

[Jack_Ian]

Since I still have a general...
G: Are you Asian?

[Quailman]

That would certianly narrow it, since the person is caucasian. It was omitted from the recent list, but it's a few posts back.

I still have this stumper outstanding: Did you run unsuccessfully for President of the United States several times in the 70s and 80s? (Quialman), but I have a general, so

General: Are you famous for something you do regularly (versus a one-shot, 15 minutes of fame sort of thing)?

Stumper: Did you portray Inigo Montoya, who seeks to avenge the death of his slain father?

[Dread Pirate Westley]

[Quailman]

L'lanmal offered up Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for the Led Zeppelin members, and I used the general from that.

Patkin is close enough. It's Mandy Patinkin. I saw a few minutes of Yentl the other day while channel surfing. He's in that as well.

Stumper: Did you do one-handed pushups on the stage at the award ceremony when you won an Oscar?

[ralphmerridew]

I said that my generals were up for grabs for anybody who wanted one.

[Lepton*]

I'll take a general from ralphmerridew:
Are you best known for being an author of novels or non-fiction books?

And since I am waiting for someone to correctly answer my stumper...
Stumper: Did you write Gravity's Rainbow?

[Duke Gnome]

I am not Asian.
I do either write novels or non fiction.

G: Are you Asian? No

[Jack_Ian]

Stumper: Are you the author of the Discworld series?

[Lepton*]

We're look at a "P" author who has immigrated to the USA or something like that. Duke Gnome, would you be willing to hijack this and do the stumpers too so that we can finish this off?

[MatthewV]

Did you create System's Twilight?

[ralphmerridew]

It doesn't matter since nobody got the answer I intended, either, but I meant Parker Posey, star of the movie "Party Girl".

[Undercover Monk]

I am not Terri Pratchet??? (spelling)

[Zag]

Hey! Look who's back.

BTW, I don't have a general left. I used it and no one removed it from the list.

[MatthewV]

[side note: I only earned one general, I have none left after asking this one]

General: Do you have more than 10 books published in your name?

[Undercover Monk]

Yes I have more than 10 books published in my name

Did men drown horses for your favor?

[Scurra]

Did you write Gravity’s Rainbow? (Lepton) - That's Thomas Pynchon.

[Pigboy]

Did you lend your name to a style of debate and to a branch of positivism in the philosophy of science? (Lepton) Is that Karl Popper?

[Quailman]

I'd say these have expired:

Did you run unsuccessfully for President of the United States several times in the 70s and 80s? (Quialman)
Are you Ferris Bueller's girlfriend? (Dread Pirate Weasley)
I think the actress' name was Mia Sara, but I don't know the character

and this was answered:

Are you now, or have you ever been a member of Led Zepplin (Quailman)
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant

So here's a new stumper:

Did you write a guide to birds in the 1930's that launched your career, leading to a series of field guides of everything from mushrooms to trees to dragonflies?

[ralphmerridew]

System's Twilight is by Andrew Plotkin.

[Lepton]

Thank you Scurra.

Thank you Pigboy (and welcome back!).
General: Have you ever been recognized in association with any of the following awards: Pulitzer (as a "nominated finalist" or winner), Nobel (as a winner), Hugo or Nebula (as a "finalist")?

Stumper: Did you write a highly-popular trilogy of young adult novels based on Milton's Paradise Lost?

[Duke Gnome]

I have not acheived or been nominated for any of those awards
