**Hostile Dialect** has been busy with his newfangled (and fun) Trivial Feud threads, so I asked if I could do a round of classic Family Feud. He agreed – and he’s gonna let me use his patented time-saving tabulation method. Yay! Rules, in case you are new are this: **DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!** Post your responses to the questions and when there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question (to come up with the Survey Says). You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like the game show. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can’t keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 500 possible points; Purgatory Creek, the defending champion, won with 412 points. Results of the last game are [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9289151&postcount=67). **Format for your answers:** You don’t need to repeat the questions. Your answers, one to a line, would be ideal. Good luck! 1. Name an expensive hobby. 2. Name a seafood commonly prepared as sushi or sashimi. 3. What celebrity wouldn’t surprise you if they decided to run for the US presidency? 4. Name a team sport that doesn’t use a ball. 5. What’s a curse word that could appear in a PG movie? 6. Name a fast food chain that doesn’t serve hamburgers. 7. Name an element found as a gas under normal conditions. 8. What’s a city that has excellent public transportation? 9. In a typical alphabet book written for children, E is for what? 10. Name an American photographer. ---
