Don’t worry about factual errors (although, FTR, the UK does not have a king; Vicente Fox is not the current President of Mexico; and Branford Marsalis plays the sax, while his brother Wynton plays trumpet). The point is to try to score as many points as possible. You could put in a prime minister instead of a president and a misspelled Australian footballer instead of a Spanish painter for all I care. ---

[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect] Don’t worry about factual errors. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I was just smiley-smacking because of the sheer blindness of forgetting about the telephone entirely, and thus not realizing it would probably be the most popular response. Ah well, I suppose that’s what makes the game worth playing. ---
