(This list brought to you by **Freudian Slit**!)
_ **Read all the Rules!** _
_ **DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** _
Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. 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.
_ **READ THIS!!!** _
**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.
JUST LIKE THIS:
**1. answer
2. response
3. rejoinder**
If this format is ignored, **Brujaja** will come in and kick your ass!
The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:30 PM Central on Tuessday, 6/10/08 whichever comes first. Good luck!

Notes: Yay! I’ve missed something like the last 3 feuds.
1. I was tempted to put “me”, but figured I wouldn’t get the points for it.
2. Will this answer or something silly like “squirrel” get more points?
3. I know there are probably more aggressive, but we’ve had a big problem where I live with pit bulls, and people raising them and fighting them, so much so that the city has mandated a special permit be bought in order to own a pit bull. I don’t know if other cities have such a problem.

11. AIUI this is true - bambi kills more people in the US than any other critter, annually. Usually in deer/automobile collisions.
12. Runners up: skunk and bat
13. Even to win points in a feud I’m not going to talk about the great cats like they’re legitimate pets.
14. If it were just up to me, I’d have chosen the Mako shark, but going for the points here.
15. It’s this or pigeon.
16. Well, I don’t think Cape Buffalo will be out scoring this, though I’m not sure how popular it will be.
17. Yes, I know, there isn’t really such a breed as the Pitbull terrier. I still think it’s going to be the most popular answer
9 & 10. Sorry, I’m not digging out a specific species, just a general class of snake.

This is actually what I was thinking when I created this feud, so even if you don’t “win” you get points in my book. I put deer, too, but I didn’t get as specific as you. I thought about wildabeest for dangerous African animal due to the stampede, but I thought most people would put hippo.

We’ll have to see how many other critical thinkers there might be. As opposed to people going with the emotional attraction to large carnivores or omnivores. 😉
