[myskepticsight]

Ouch.

[Baron Greenback]

After a quick perusal of many (one) US circus websites, I'll guess - alligators.

What are the most common Circus Animals?

Blue Team: Twickster, ZipperJJ, Frosted Glass, Secret Volcano Lair, Sternvogel, Taber, Abby_Emma_Sasha, Delores Reborn, Avarie537, Pygmy Rugger, cmkeller, JpnDude, MadTheSwine

Remember current score is 43 to 6 for the Red Team. We are playing to 50, so if Blue fails to get this, Red wins the first game.

[Dolores Reborn]

Ok, let's go BLUE!

I have - zebra, camel, llama, and leopard. I asked my husband and he thought of zebra before camel...

[Sternvogel]

I thought of camel, so that's my suggestion.

[Taber]

I like camel, but I might be thinking of my local zoo, which briefly offered camel rides when I was a kid.

Another possibility is giraffe, but I am certain that I am just grabbing that from animal crackers.

My official vote at this point is camel

Nooooooooooooooo!

Sorry team.

[Dolores Reborn]

I'm pretty sure a camel is in the animal cracker box, too. Seems like I remember a camel in the Barnum & Bailey circus parade around the ring...

[twickster]

My thought was zebra, though camel ain't bad.

ETA: link.

[ZipperJJ]

I'm thinking...

Zebra, leopard, camel

Gosh...this will be hard to come to a consensus on. I haven't been to the circus in YEARS!

[twickster]

What Exit? -- are we allowed to ask if zebras are the same thing as horses?

[Frosted Glass]

I am torn between zebra and camel but I think I am leaning harder towards camel.

[What Exit?]

I think you are allowed to ask.

If Zebra was the same as Horses, I would have posted Horses and other Equines. So for my list it is not the same.



BTW: The earlier post were a player guessed and answer already on the board. I was correct to issue a strike, wasn't I?

[cmkeller]

I vote camel as well.

[Baron Greenback]

Not that you're asking me, but yes you were correct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert's_Family_Feud

seems to agree with you

"Each family member has an opportunity to give his/her own answers. If the answer they give does not appear on the board, repeat an answer on the board, or takes too long to think of a possible answer on the board, they earn an unwanted strike"

[twickster]

Yeah, I would have also.

And thanks for the zebra info -- that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

Okay -- time for this little cowgirl to head home -- if we're ready to guess, my vote is for camel, though if we do zebra I'm good with that too. I'll be back in a few hours to see what happens!

Go Blue!

[Dolores Reborn]

In the original game, they had a timer (5 secs?) to think of a new answer if the contestant said an answer already on the board. So I think that since there is no time limit, a strike is in order.

(I mean in the regular rounds, not the speed round.)

[Dolores Reborn]

I count 5 camels, no zebras... including my vote of camel.

[twickster]

One zebra. But yeah, let's go with camel.

[Dolores Reborn]

Is that enough? Should we wait for more people?

[Taber]

I'd say pull the trigger

Fry: I wish they'd just wipe out humanity and get it over with. It's the waiting I can't stand.

[anyrose]

I'd like to be on a team for the next round

Well anyrose our team seems to be down a member or two. Are you willing to go through a rigorous induction process? Key skills include: lurking around on the boards at ungodly hours, swift and accurate typing, and trying to fathom the workings of the deranged minds of the quiz-setters. Are you ready?

[JpnDude]

camel CAMEL CAMEL

[twickster]

I'm seeing at least six camels -- let's make it official

We have several openings on Red Team, Welcome to the Red Team. (Says the deranged mind of a quiz-setter.)

When should I start the next round?

[Dolores Reborn]

Way to go, Red Team! Damn, I had leopard on my guesses, too.

Now is fine for a new game.

::goes off into a corner pouting ::

Hi Rosie!! Welcome!

[What Exit?]

Tell you what, to be fair, I will post the First Round of the Next game around 10pm.



If anyone wants to join into the game, let us know. Red has room.

[twickster]

At least it wasn't zebra. I would have been pissed if it had been zebra.

Dolores Reborn had said Leopard and I think someone else. I recall seeing a leopard riding a horse in a circus on TV. I have never seen the Seals or Sea Lions, but I remember them from cartoons with Circus themes. The Rest seemed pretty common.

[What Exit?]

Blue Team: Twickster, ZipperJJ, Frosted Glass, Secret Volcano Lair, Sternvogel, Taber, Abby_Emma_Sasha, Delores Reborn, Avarie537, Pygmy Rugger, cmkeller, JpnDude, MadTheSwine 13 players.

Red Team : Struan, LilyoftheValley, Kat, hocow, myskepticsight, frog princess, ArizonaTeach, Rodgers01, IvoryTowerDenizen, Anyrose 10 players

We'll put any newcomers on Red Team.

Good Luck Everyone.

Okay Blue Team, decide on play or pass.

[Dolores Reborn]

YAY! Whoa - 15? Can I ask a question? (I just did, heh.) Are they the bank- and government-closed holidays? Or just celebratory kind of days?

More the second one.

I thought I did that already

Am I red or blue?

[Dolores Reborn]

You fit in perfectly!!! (You're red.)

I say play this one.

[twickster]

I think the odds are good we won't get all 15. Will they be able to steal? (And who the hell cares, since we're getting tromped anyway.)

[Dolores Reborn]

No, Twicks, it's a new game!!! The score is 0-0. You may be right about the stealing though. But it's fun to play. I'll go along with the majority.

[twickster]

Okay -- I vote we play, then. Strategy is for sissies anyway.

[Dolores Reborn]

I'm going to bed - go Blue!!!
