Yeah, well, seeing as how I answered “arcade” for #5, you think I’m watching a lot of recent movies? Those answering “bitch” for #9 are the ones who have some questions to answer. ---

If you don’t count a cameo and a documentary, he’s only been in three movies in the last fifteen years; _Million Dollar Baby_, _Gran Torino_, and _Trouble with the Curve_. Me too, and I thought Samuel L. Jackson(age 69) was the obvious answer for this. Dude is in a ton of movies, turns 70 in a month, and is mainly famous for being in a ton of movies. ---

> [@gkster](#): > > Indeed! As well as needing marriage counselling and sensitivity training, not to mention basic human decency? Well, since we went through marriage counselling (which didn’t work), and I haven’t had a partner-relationship since our divorce, I fell back on how I felt prior to our divorce. I wasn’t sure what else to do with a question that presupposes I have a current partner. **Barkis** , I cannot speak for anybody else, but I hope that explains my position, and answers your question. ---

**spoons** , that story does put a different light on it. Still shaking my head about people who would describe their current partner as a bitch, though–that word has become so negatively loaded that even dog breeders are using “dam” or “female dog” instead. BTW I have to say that I thought that “Name a word you might use to describe a dog that could also describe your partner” meant to find a word that could mean both pet or partner. ---

It seems like there was a little confusion over “you” being us specifically or the more general you. Perhaps future questions could be worded a little more impersonally to avoid the shock of certain answers 😉 If the “bitch” answer gave the wrong impression, imagine if one of the questions was related to illegal or salacious activity… ---

I wouldn’t describe my wife as a bitch, get over yourself. I would however answer bitch to a question on the Feud if I thought it was a winning answer. ---
