The Role Lists threads have been such fun (and now the songs list is clicking along, too) that it occurred to me that we could have our own version of Family Feud here in Cafe Society. Simple enough. We ARE the survey as well as the contestants. Reply without looking at other replies and you’re part of the survey. After you see what the majority of others have replied you can see how well you (and your family) would do on the show. If the game part isn’t all that exciting then the comparison with what others react with, might be. Here goes: 1. Name a part of speech. 2. Which day is most likely to have rain? 3. Name a food you put salt on before even tasting. 4. Name the most popular star in the sky. 5. Which USA state has the funniest name? 6. Which spectator sport is the most boring? 7. How far will the average car go on a tank of gasoline/petrol? 8. Name a college course or class. 9. Which island gets the most tourists per year? ---
