Hmm. Wait a sec for the general...

[Dragon Phoenix]

Ulrike Meyfarth.

Back to brooding.

[Quailman]

Mickey Mouse is correct (

Steamboat Willie

).

We haven't established that it was indeed a male.

Stumper: Were you Judy Garland's daughter?

[Leonidas]

Ok - at the moment, only two names come to mind.

Let's go for the most likely candidate.

General: Are you famous for your essays?

[Dragon Phoenix]

A stumper to kill time: are you the Soviet composer who composed over 20 symphonies?

[Leonidas]

To kill time and a mockingbird:

Stumper: Are you the initiator of the 'Suprematism' movement in contemporary art ?

[Cadmium]

13) Are you famous for your essays? No

Quailman: Another general for you.
DP: Maaklostifiets ?

[Cadmium]

Hmm, I really should learn to type faster .

Leo: Michelangelo? Take a general.

[Dragon Phoenix]

Remarkably close: Myaskovsky.

Storing the general, while waiting for Leonidas other idea.

Stumper: did Elton John sing about you?

[Guest]

Ok, so it's not Montaigne.

Broader on politics ? Military. Clergy. Was there a French Pope ?

Other possible candidates:
- Duke of Montmorency,
- Anguerrand de Marigny.

[MeMe]

here it is

[Leonidas]

Cheers MeMe !

Ok - so he's not Montaigne, but he may be... Queen Margaret of England,
the she-wolf of France who played a critical role in the War of the Roses.

General: Are you a woman ?

If you are Margaret, nice attempt to confuse us, I admit !

[Leonidas]

If he's not Margaret, then I can only think of:
- the Duke Of Montmorency (not funny),
- Anguerrand de Marigny (gah...).

Margaret is nicer !

[Cadmium]

14) Are you a woman? No

DP: Michelle?

I suggest you try to find a more precise period of time.

[Leonidas]

Damn.

[Leonidas]

(Stumper was Malevich).

[Dragon Phoenix]

Marilyn Monroe (Candle in the wind'73).

[Dragon Phoenix]

Leo, could it be someone from the time of Vercingetorix?

[Leonidas]

Yes - but when I think of the period of Vercingetorix, the only name to come to my mind is... Vercingetorix.

[Leonidas]

Was there a French Pope in the past ?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Yes.

[Quailman]

but he may be... Queen Margaret of England,
the she-wolf of France who played a critical role in the War of the Roses.

That was Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas.

My stumper was Liza Minelli.

Thinking about the general for now...

Stumper: Are you an accomplished harpist who appeared in several movies but never said much?

[Dragon Phoenix]

General: were you a priest, pope or any of the levels inbetween?

[Leonidas]

Yes.

Well, I should have known - and not just because I'm French !
