Mr Toad (of Toad Hall) was a character from Kenneth Graham's Wind in The Willows. Perhaps a little anglocentric, if so I humbly apologise. (The apology may be a little indistinct as I have to keep my upper lip stiff)

Jadesmar: Trudeau jr.?

Duphrates, I'm sorry... Titian?

[Quailman]

Stumper: Were you nominated for an Oscar for your supporting role in Pulp Fiction?

Saving my second general.

Of course you are not.

[jesternl]

DP: I think I'm not Jan Timman?
Quailman: Stumped..

[Dragon Phoenix]

So you are not Mikhail Tal... (Timman did make the #2 spot on the world ranking once, but was never close to being the champ). That's three generals to play with later.

Stumper: are you the regular occupant of Thunderbird 5?

Joe Tinker, of Tinker to Evers to Chance. The double play combination of the Chicago Cubs (early 1900's) was admitted to the baseball hall of fame as a group.

Nope. I really want a first name for this one - John.

I'll use one of my four generals:

General: did you invent, design or build something?

Stumper: were you the 'pilot' of Thunderbird 4?

[Quailman]

Isn't this supposed to be last names?

Stumper: Did you write the story on which The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was based?

[Dragon Phoenix]

OK, I'll give back one general and post a new stumper:

Are you the Italian singer who had a big hit in Germany with Du schwarzer Zigeuner? And if you know do you dare to admit it?

[Duphrates]

I knew you weren't Titian, really, I was just testing the water Ok then are you (Stumper) : Are you the very small, whore loving, aristocratic Frenchman who painted the 'Dance At The Moulin Rouge'?

[jesternl]

Thank you for saving me from that one Quailman.. And DP can afford to be generous with his generals...

General: did you invent, design or build something?: Yes

Q: I should know, but it doesn't come to me... stumped...
DP: LOL, but stumped
Duphrates: I didn't know he was at the National gallery though. And you forgot to mention alcoholic and quite possible schizofrenic in the character traits of Henry de Toulouse Lautrec.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Vico Torriani.

General: did you invent something?

Stumper: are you an Italian painter whose name rhymes with 'just one cornetto'?

[Quailman]

Okay. I had to go and Babelfish it: Du schwarzer Zigeuner = You Black Gypsy

My stumper was James Thurber. Oh, and Dick Tracy's girlfriend was Tess Trueheart.

Waiting on answer to DP's general...

Stumper: Is there a famous photograph of you holding a newspaper with the large headline "DEWEY WINS!"?
