And a grand thank you for the outlaw services provided! Most appreciated, even though my limited knowledge was my falling ☹ (but I did score just out of Nazgul-territory) ---

I seem to be pretty consistently good at sucking at these games… When are we going to have a game where you try to get answers that other people _don’t_ get? I’ll bet I would be good at that. And just to nitpick, I count five answers of “The Prancing Pony” for #9, if we count **Euphonious Polemic** ’s answer of “the pub in Bree”. Which we probably should, given that we’re also counting things like “Narsil” and “Anduril” as the same. I don’t think that changes any of the rankings, though. ---

Great Feud, **5 time champ**! Thanks for running it. I, as usual, came in right in the middle of the pack. I’m gonna run the Obama Inauguration Feud in the morning. Today’s week should be much less hectic, with my engineer being out of town, and work slowing down a bit. **Chronos** , I think we _did_ have an anti-Feud once upon a time. I’m too lazy to look for it though… 😃 ---

I like this second list better. Why? 1. My score is nearly 60 points higher. 2. I’m 9th, not 19th. This is one of my best ever scores. Go me! Thanks for the feud, oh quintuple title winner… ---

Well, that’s better. I thought at first that my choice of Sting over Narsil was my (massive) downfall. I didn’t really think you had miscalculated. (What kills me is that I _almost_ went with Narsil, Gondor, and Manwë.) ---
