M
IQ: Are you a supermodel fixed up by the ARod people like?

Not Minka Kelly, dunno, and neither Michael Jackson nor Michael Bolton.

Hmm. I guess I don't understand the Ross/Dorothy clue. And by what measure was Mariah Carey bigger than Jackson or Bolton?
M.

Mariah had most record sales (110m)
Explanation for Michelle Kwan: Remember the "Friends" episode with the "freebie" lists? One of Ross' was Dorothy Hamill. Rachel asked,"You DO know she only spins like that on ice right?" Ross' expression shows he DIDN'T know this.
IQs:
1. Did you run the prison containing Roxie and Velma?
2. Are you a magical, mysterious cat?

My apologies, you are quite right and I should not have commented on your IQ.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
No worries, and thank you.

OK, that's 20 DQs, and then some. Please ask your earned "Are you Firstname Lastname?" questions, one apiece, by noon EST Weds.
DQ: Are you the "Interstellar" character played by Matt Damon?
I am not.
Drat - given it was this year's GGs, I would have thought it was Mark Watney.
Well given the main winners were the Revenant and the Martian, and given it isn't Mark Watney from Eric's guess and certainly isn't going to be Hugh Glass then I have no clue.
Nope, I give up.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
Not so fast there! It is indeed
Mark Watney
who is a character in The Martian, not Interstellar, as Eric had asked. Damon plays astronauts in both movies. Congrats, CIAS! Start the next round when you're ready.
I misremembered the name of the movie!!
You guys are terrible at movies.
Matt Damon wasn't in Interstellar, it was Matthew McConaughey leading.
Also, the first Batman movie starring Adam West. It even had a theatrical release.
I've got no probs if EricTV wants to take the next one, because I could see which character he was aiming for, otherwise I'll kick it off tomorrow.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I'll leave it to EH.
You don't say!You guys are terrible at movies.
Matt Damon wasn't in Interstellar....
