Let's play a Feud in the Colbert Questionert format!

Thread Games
1

Object of the game:

Give the most popular answer for each category. You want to match the other people in the game.

Rules:

DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS, lest you see the other answers. Scroll really fast to the bottom, or hit “end” on your keyboard. We play by the honor system.

Formatting rules:

If formatting is not followed, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED!

  1. answer
  2. answer
  3. answer
  4. answer
    etc.

Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary. No emojis. No extraneous stuff is allowed. Feel free to talk about your answers, but please 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 - All matching answers will be worth 2 points each. For example: If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

The game will end when I feel that no more people are going to play, or a maximum of 50. I’ll score as fast as time will allow.

Good luck! Today’s game is based on Stephen Colbert’s “The Colbert Questionert.”

Edited to block off the last 2 as Discourse was adding them to the list, no answers changed.

  10. I grow old, then die

Notes: 1: That, or grilled cheese, is going to be the most popular, but the real answer is BLT.
8: I have no idea what will actually be most popular, but the sections of Bohemian Rhapsody are at least varied enough that I won’t get (as) bored.
10: I’m curious how close two answers will need to be to count as a match.

The two binary-option questions will also be interesting (of course, other answers are valid, but won’t be likely to score much).

  8. 4’33"
  9. Calculator
  10. Arguing with wife, then dying

Squid sandwich: zero points, but only because you all don’t know how good this is!
2. Mosquito: The mosquito’s a clever little bastard. You can track him for days and days until you really get to know him like a friend. He knows you’re there, and you know he’s there. It’s a game of wits. You hate him, then you respect him, then you kill him. – Monthy Python – Funny I quoted that yesterday in the Non Sequitur Thread.
3. Apples. Although cherries are much better. And so are mirabelle plums. You can make fine spirits from all of these.
4. Terminator 2. Not one: two.
5. Cats. If for no other reason, because it is a pleasure to quote Jean Cocteau: “I prefer cats over dogs because police cats don’t exist”.⁣
6. Freshly baked cake
7. Rotten fish. Onions and meat are very nasty too.
8. 4’33" The rest is silence. If I can only listen to one song I might as well listen to none. Hell, I’ll sing myself, you’ll see what you get then!
9. Calculator. It also can do unit conversion. Very useful when reading US temperatures and distances.
10. Arguing with wife, then dying.

I fear the apples and the cats are going to spoil an otherwise perfect score of zero.

Petrichor is that smell that accompanies rain

Repo Man is written and sung by Iggy Pop and featuring Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) on guitar, Nigel Harrison (Blondie) on bass, and Clem Burke (also Blondie) on drums. This song, which talks about love, loss, drugs, teenage ennui, and contains a pageful of nonsense lyrics, is the greatest rock and roll song ever produced.
