Yes. Back when it was cool (early 80s?) Sorry, I haven’t read the whole thread so I apologize if I’m repeating a question. Have you ever tried to outrun the police (while you’re driving)? ---

Yes, sort of. I saw a cop make a U-turn in order to come after and turned at really high speed (like, 60 mph) onto a side street. I wasn’t technically running away since he hadn’t turned on his lights yet, and there’s always a chance he was turning around to respond to a robbery call or something. Do you own a nice (say, $100+) pair of sunglasses? ---

Yes, love them… Especially the one’s made with MUG root beer. Do you own any expensive art? ---

Yes. We have a Howard Chandler Christy portrait of my great-great-grandfather. Do you agree with the concept of jury nullification? [Question about being a juror - Factual Questions - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=517638) ---

Haven’t weighed the pros and cons, but from what I can tell, It seems like a great idea. Especially the fact that a juror is rarely informed of this power. Are you going to disqualify me from your Feud for totally pulling answers out of my ass? ---

Have to do that every 90 days. If you don’t get in early, you have a long wait. Do you normally have your shirt tucked in? ---

Yes, but it’s been more than 10 years ago now. I really need to get back there. I’ve never even had a pint in a London pub ☹ Do you like beer?
