Friday Boticelli! Reviving an old classic→[More:]It's a slow day and I've got a few hours left before I head home. I'll host a game of Boticelli, if anyone's willing.

Rules:
* I'll think of a famous person and give the first letter of his/her last name.
* You will ask a yes/no question about that person, like "Are you American?"
* I will answer yes or no, along with a person that fits that criteria, like "No, I am not Al Gore."
* If I cannot think of someone that satisfies the criteria, then you will get to ask one more yes-no question.
* The winner will get to chose his/her own famous person to start a new game, or pass to someone else.

Ready? The clue letter is O.

Do you like popcorn and bow ties?

posted by iconomy 27 June | 15:14

No, LT, but I can't think of who you're talking about. You can ask me any yes-no question.

I'm confused about muddpuppie's second question.

posted by muddgirl 27 June | 15:15

No, 'pode, I am not Jamie Oliver

I don't know who you're talking about, ico, so go ahead.

posted by muddgirl 27 June | 15:16

Go ahead? Sorry...what do you mean? Am I supposed to do one now?

(as you can tell I've never played this before)

I'm confused about muddpuppie's second question.

That was the yes/no question that I thought I was entitled to ask, but I realize now that I was not entitled at all. Disregard!

Ico, since you stumped muddgirl, you get to ask a yes/no question now in order to narrow the pool.

posted by mudpuppie 27 June | 15:20

Iconomy, you get to ask me a yes/no question like "are you a politician" or "are you a male?" Like mudpuppie did above.

posted by muddgirl 27 June | 15:20

Oh...thanks!

Are you female?

posted by iconomy 27 June | 15:21

Yes, I am a woman.

posted by muddgirl 27 June | 15:21

Were you married to a US president?

posted by iconomy 27 June | 15:22

Yes, I am Jackie Onassis! Good job!

posted by muddgirl 27 June | 15:25

Thanks, this is fun. At least, asking the questions is fun...!

Darn, I have to leave. The next person who posts can take over and start a new one. Toodles, all.

Mudpuppie, I think you should start the next one
