  11. May have been set in the early thirties, but it was during Prohibition, so I think it counts.

  12. Okay - so it’s a novella. Sue me.

I thought about that, and balked. Capone was convicted of tax evasion in 1931, and they talk about repealing Prohibition, so I think it is in the 30’s. But given the number of matches, I should have gone with it anyway.

Surely, you meant ‘The Great Gatsby 2: Electric Boogaloo’

  12. Just as a matter of note (heh!), my paternal grandfather and his father were musicians, and both played plenty of speakeasy gigs.

We’re up to 35. I said 3:30, but I’ve been real busy and they still want me to get some work out, dammit!

So I will forward my spreadsheet to my home email, and finish the scoring later. (If my husband gets home before I do, we’ll have to fight over the 'puter! :D)

Thank god I made top ten – too embarrassing to score lower in your own feud.

Thanks for running it, Dolores!

56

Did better than I thought I would. Thanks for the game!!

57

Tomorrow we’ll have another decade Feud- does anyone remember the 90’s? :smiley:

58

I try not to, really.

59

Not all that fondly.

60

Well, I’m back into the pack, at least.

Thanks, Dolores and twickster

This was a fun one

Er… Haze grey and underway. I don’t think I’m going to have many matches with what I remember from those years…
