Thank you birdandbear.
Crucified on the roof is what I wanted.
(I thought it was the general store, but that's not important.
)
Your turn.
(Edit: Oops...just saw Luci's too. Close enogh. Next question by whoever gets here first.

Ha! Gotcha!
Lyric: "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain."
Musical: "My Fair Lady"
Character: "Zoltan"
(Man that was a tough one, but as with all good riddles, the answer is self-evident once you know it.
)
OK, my question. Real easy one because I'm lazy:

Ah, ok. But I'm a cheating scum....
Was it Walter O'Dim? At least I believe that's how he usually thinks of himself...

How he thinks of himself, yes. But that's not the name he was given at birth. He had a proper surname. Walter "somebody."

Nope, he tells Tick Tock that his name is Richard Fannin.
It's only in the lastbook that it gets mentioned...during his conversation with Mordred.

So what is it?
