DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS
Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Only answers that are "serious" will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.
If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me and I'll get you on The List.
*****FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!*****
Write your answers like this; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.
JUST LIKE THIS:
1. answer <<---There is a space after the period!
2. response
3. rejoinder
The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:00 PM Central on Saturday, 10/18/08 whichever comes first.
Good luck!

Incredibly pedantic nit-pick: While Captain Kidd was tried, convicted and executed as a pirate, there is overwhelming evidence that he was railroaded.
He was chartered as a privateer by English nobles, but when he basically fucked up his privateering missions -- complete with actual pirates stealing his ship and most of his crew mutinying -- he was branded a pirate, hunted down, arrested, imprisoned, executed and gibbetted before he could say, "Arr, matey!"
But I still don't know shit about boats.

My answers to 4 and 5 did me in. "Shrimp Boat"? What was I thinking? I did, however, think Exxon Valdez would have got more traction for #5. Oh well, my customary mediocrity.
Thanks for the game!!

As I predicted...sigh...
Well, actually better than I thought I'd do.

Woo hoo, yay ships! And an anchors aweigh, just for Elendil's Heir :p Yes, I knew what it really was--I just had a senior's moment brain fart.

I doubt that it'll make any difference (since they're only one each), but you have "Perfect Storm" and "The Perfect Storm" listed as separate answers.

Third place... woohoo! One of my favorite categories yet, too. Thanks!

Wait! No one else thought of Cunard? I didn't expect people to go for White Star, but... Cunard had the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth II, and now the Queen Mary II. All of which were the liners of their day.
Tradition and excellence people.
stupid Love Boat...
I consider Cunard and White Star to be shipping lines, not "cruise lines," which is a more recent (and far less elegant/nostalgic) concept, IMHO.

My best performance. Next time I'll go for fourth to last.

For question # 6, "Perfect Storm" and "The Perfect Storm" are the same answer - I (and whoever else said it) should get 4 more points (not that that lifts me out of the pathetic 42 position.

I reran it and it bumped kenner116 up a notch.
Sorry about that! Sometimes my eyes start crossing when I do the scoring! :)
