Sounds good, lets play!

[Baron Greenback]

I'm going to steal CD case.

[cmkeller]

Sicilian pizza

[hocow]

mousepad

[ZipperJJ]

Just to interject (I'm on the Blue Team) - I don't want to reshuffle players. I like my team. We're not losing because we suck we're just extremely unfortunate

If we're going to go down, and go down this hard, I would rather it be with all the folks that helped get us down here, not with some other people. LOL

You are on the blue team. The red team is playing this round, though.

[cmkeller]

Huh...that's embarrassing, I thought they were blue-teamers.

That's what I get for taking off for Passover.

Blue -- start discussing your steal.

[MadTheSwine]

Wendy's hamburger patty?

Card Table?

[Sternvogel]

Pizza box?

Polaroid photo?

[Taber]

floppy disk?


though pizza box is pretty good

[Taber]

also: possibly coasters?

Though I guess I'd vote for pizza box, floppy disk, or card table over coasters

[Dolores Reborn]

post-it notes, a window, and postage stamp are my guesses

[cmkeller]

I still like my original guess of Sicilian pizza, but my second choice would be postage stamp.

[ZipperJJ]

I'm liking pizza box and floppy disk.

Window is not generally thought of to be flat and square. Sicilian pizza, while flat and square...well to be honest, I would never have thought of that myself and it makes me doubt it'd be on a 12-answer poll. Post-it notes...hmm....these days, not always square so twix may not have thought of those. All the ones on my desk are rectangular. Postage stamps aren't square (close, but not square).

Not trying to knock my teammates - just trying to reason out our "best" answer

[Abby_Emma_Sasha]

I'm thinking napkin. The kind you put on a table.

[MadTheSwine]

I like napkin also.

[Frosted Glass]

I like pizza box.

[JpnDude]

napkin or pizza box....hmmm

[Dolores Reborn]

Napkin is good! Let's go with that!

[ZipperJJ]

I dunno, guys. Napkins aren't always square. The napkins at McDonalds aren't square. Cloth napkins usually aren't square.

Pizza boxes - like CDs, checkerboards, trivets, saltines and album covers are ALWAYS square.

[Dolores Reborn]

Good point. Ok, pizza box.

[twickster]

So .... pizza box? napkin? Are y'all headed toward consensus?

[ZipperJJ]

Well that's 7 votes for pizza box and only 3 for napkin with 1 retraction.

So, if no one comes in soon making the vote against it, I say pizza box is the Blue team's answer.

(ugh...I hate being a leader. Someone else come lead us right now. Just come say "I say our team says pizza box, twickster" and get it over with.)

[JpnDude]

I say ZipperJJ says pizza box and I would not object if it is chosen as Blue Team's answer, twickster.

This is our closest shot at actually getting points. WOW!

[Abby_Emma_Sasha]

If youse guys want to go with pizza box, okay. I think napkin is better.

[Dolores Reborn]

Pizza box, Twickster!

[Dolores Reborn]

Whoop-de-doo! We didn't get skunked! Post-it note and napkin were both there, too.

Way to go Blue! Let's see if we can pull off a win now!

[Abby_Emma_Sasha]

Okay, I'm having a problem with some definitions here. A pizza box, to me, is not flat. Square, to be sure, but flat not so much.

Someone said a postage stamp was not square. Huh? Yes, it is. And yet it was not in the answers. A stamp is certainly flatter than a pizza box. Weird.

It doesn't really matter since it's just a game, but since I've been bitching to my husband I figure I should bring my qualms here where this all began and give him some peace.

[What Exit?]

twickster: Did you decide which way we would take the next round.
Do we cram it in by Thursday and then go on hiatus or do we switch positions?

I can work on my Richard Dawson immitation.

Let me know here or by Email/PM

Jim

[twickster]

A_E_S -- sorry you don't like my answers. I think it was clear (after the first round I handled) that my questions and answers are all a trifle askew; when given the choice to dump be as emcee, the majority seemed to be willing to continue to play with me running the game regardless.

On your specific questions: Most stamps are rectangular, though some are close to square and a few are square. (I have two different books of stamps in my wallet at the moment -- both are rectangular.) Overall, not, though.

Re: Pizza box -- all the answers given are three-dimensional objects, though most are under an inch, if not under a half-inch. How thick should something be before it's "not flat"? One could argue that a pizza box, though a trifle thicker than a Sicilian pizza, is an even plane, and thus "flatter" than the bumpy surface of the latter. Or not.

Again -- sorry you don't like my answers -- this is how the game is being played at the moment, though.

And WE? -- only a couple people have weighed in with an opinion, and they all seem to want to wait till I get back. So -- what do people think -- play till Thursday then take a break while I'm in Europe, or hand the game over to WE? while I'm gone?

[Baron Greenback]

I'd be happy for What Exit? to take over until you get back.

I am good with either way or Idle returning. I was not sure what he decision was.

My name is Dolores, and I am a Family Feud addict.

:: Hi, Dolores! ::

I don't care who runs it, I just want to play! Especially now that Blue is on a roll... LOL.

[twickster]

Cool! WE? -- take it away. Now is fine -- I've got a bajillion things to do this week.
