Trivial Pursuit 2.0 [ETA: Max players reached.]

Rules, in case you are new to this: DON'T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!

If no one else wants to host one, here goes.

Post your responses to the questions. I’ll take the first 50. I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, post the scoreboard. There are 10 questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.

And in deference to Hostile Dialect, no questions about music that sny of us may have listened to in high school.

A quick reminder the object of the game is to give an answer that you think will match the most number of other Doper's answers.

Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

If you don't know an answer, guess! If you pass, you're guaranteed to get zero points -- but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you'll get points, whether the answer is "right" or not!


Trivial Feud 2.0
1. Name a Doper catch-phrase that has been completely overused
2. Name one of Jerry’s girlfriends on Seinfeld: actor’s name, character’s name, or even a good description will do.
3. Other than Elizabeth II, name a reigning king or queen
4. Name something that someone would insure for a very large amount of money
5. Other than the News, name a feature/program on NPR
6. Name a fictional high school
7. Spirit of _______________________
8. Name an ancient Greek playwright
9. Name a National Park
10. Name a god/goddess of love

NOT edited to add:

I'm not totally stupid. I'm not. I read reigning as someone who has reigned at one point. Please don't revoke my smart card.

Really, I just happened to see an old episode of Match Game 1975 recently. Spirit of '76 was the most popular answer far and away over Spirit of St Louis. But I guess that was back around the Bicentennial hoopla.

If no one else wants to host one, here goes.

Post your responses to the questions. I’ll take the first 50. I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, post the scoreboard. There are 10 questions and a maximum of 1000 possible points.

And in deference to Hostile Dialect, no questions about music that sny of us may have listened to in high school.

A quick reminder the object of the game is to give an answer that you think will match the most number of other Doper's answers.

Format for your answers: You don't need to repeat the questions, but please number the answers.

If you don't know an answer, guess! If you pass, you're guaranteed to get zero points -- but if you guess and someone else matches your answer, you'll get points, whether the answer is "right" or not!

Um, wendingo1974, your answers appear to be the exact same as mine- right down to the punctuation on answer 2. Perhaps you made a cut & paste error in formulating your answers??

Hey 5 time champ, these commentary posts aren't counting against your 50 accepted entries, are they?

No, the commentaries don't count towards the 50. It is 50 accepted entries- not sure what to do about wendingo1970's since it appears to be an exact copy & paste of mine.
