Are you an inhabitant of Nunavut? I am not Nanook of the North Inuit?

jesternl, you may rephrase your general if you like.

Sorry, not Ishtar. It's Iblis.

Stumper: Did you offer the humorous ultimatum, "You must have tea and cake with the vicar, or you DIE!"

And no, not Eric Idle

Stumper: Did you invent Rip Van Winkle? I am not Washington Irving.

General: Is your name the one you were born with? YES

[Lepton*]

"ibid" was what I was thinking of for "frequently cited by rarely sighted"; maybe Quailman will groan long enough to consider that valid? : )

Inuit seems like a valid answer to the Nunavut inhabitant question.

Stumper: Are you the leader of the opposition in Canada?

[Quailman]

Lepton: Ibid works for me. Take a general.

What else were you thinking of, Iqaluitian?

Stumper: Are you the leader of the opposition in Canada? I am not Chief Iroquois (or is that Cree?)

[Scurra]

Stumper: Are you a neoclassical artist, noted for his portraits?


Oh, and because I already referred to it in an earlier posting:
3iff: Are you married to David Bowie? Iman

Yes, Inuit was what I had in mind.

General: is what you are famous for something done by you alone (as opposed to part of a group?)(I do learn from my errors )

That crime related question misled most of us, but not you .
Well done 3iff !

@Quailman - should you not have responded "Yes, I am Lance Ito" to put it to bed?
