RULES! Due to the rousing success of ITS ABOUT ME (notfrommensa)FEUD (a total of 25 responses Elindil’s Heir wanted to similar feud about him? the scoring will be the same as the one last week. There are several to many potential answers, but only one will be definitive. those matching the definitive will get a double bonus. I will respond shortly, and then Elindil will PM the defintive answers to me so i can get the spreadsheet setup. **1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** **2. Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 1. Formatting rules: If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**. 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No urls. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bs is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**! The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. **Definitive answers will be doubled once again** The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or noon Friday. Good luck! **Read the rules! 🙂** Remember the definitive answers (counted double) may not be the most popular. Elindil has told me that he has posted all this information on the Straight dope so search and research might help you. but I am treating this as a logic puzzle and won’t be doing any research. Some of the questions might look familiar :dubious: Good Luck, and Have Fun. _ **Its about Elindil’s Heir Feud** _: 1. In what U.S. state (also sharing a name with a major river) do I live? 2. What is the only mainland European country that I have ever been to? 3. I have no brothers. How many sisters, if any, do I have? 4. In the Fifties, my father dated what young actress who later rose to considerable fame? 5. I went to high school in what mid-Atlantic state? 6. From what historic Midwestern college did I graduate? 7. In a single word, what is my current job title? 8. What courtroom drama is one of my favorite movies? 9. I drive a car from what General Motors division? 10. Who is my favorite U.S. president? ---

_ **Its about Elendil’s Heir Feud** _: 1. Ohio 2. France 3. One 4. Joanne Woodward 5. Maryland 6. Oberlin 7. Magistrate 8. _Inherit the Wind_ 9. Buick 10. George Washington 11. The actual answer (he lives in the Cleveland area, where I formerly resided) 12. I think I’ve read his mention of the actual one – hope I recall correctly! 13. He’s referred to a sister who used to own a bookstore 14. My parents dated in the Fifties, so I’m going for someone who’s roughly their contemporary and has at least tangential Ohio ties (Paul Newman grew up in Greater Cleveland) 15. Guessing on this one 16. I know at least one **Doper** is a Yeoman, and I think he’s (one of) the one(s) 17. Through my participation in a hobby, I knew another magistrate in the Cuyahoga County court system (this guy is older than **Elendil’s Heir** , whose screen name I’ve spelled correctly) 18. I hope he’s one of the **Dopers** who’ve waxed ecstatic about this film 19. I must not have seen him mention this, as I think I’d remember the fact. Hope I’m right! 20. I know he admires Washington – not sure about the “first in war, first in peace, and first in the heart of **Elendil’s Heir** ”, though ---
