Must.... not..... be... a.... fish....
I'm learning to resist the urge to call off my stack in spots like this. Yes the villain is tilted. Yes he's a pretty weak player even when he's not tilted. Yes I may well have him beaten. But nines with a queen kicker?

Looking at HEM I have one other hand which has a similar beginning, but I'm ashamed to say that there I bet/shoved the flop with top pair/weak kicker vs a limp/caller from EP and was outkicked:
