Why does it have to be two points to fifty responses? Is it really that critical that the answers from contestants #51 and #52 don’t get two points?
- Flying
- Tuna
- Ahnold
- Hockey
- Damn
- Taco Bell
- Neon

I counted using the top 50 (x2) and got 430, right in the middle. Got killed on PG curse word (shit instead of damn) & transportation city (Seattle instead of NY, duh).
Damn is a curse word??? I am also surprised more people didn’t say George Clooney as a future Prez.
Damn, I missed this! Oh well, I’m going to answer and score myself!

Jeez, I shoulda refreshed . DOH
Everyone knows Arnold Schwarzenegger CAN’T be President, right?
That wasn’t the question. Some people, including myself, noted that he couldn’t.
What, you think New York actually has decent public transportation?
Better than Philly, anyway.
Considering you can get anywhere you want to go at any time without a car, yes. That would be considered far above and beyond “decent public transportation” in most of the US, especially Southern California.
I’m just a little amused that two people said Seattle for that one.
I’d be happy to run another of these, by the way, but probably not for a few days. Two things I’d consider: no points for “pass,” and letting the contest run for 100 responses/48 hours. Thoughts?
I actually would like to run a round, and in fact have one all ready to go.
Any objections?
