Special Feud: St. Paddy's Day (March 17) by astorian [Game Over]

The Game Room

NEW RULES!

DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

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. Also, don’t try to score a zero, even with “serious” answers.

New formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your entire post will be DISQUALIFIED.

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

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 smilies! No extraneous bullshit 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.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me and I’ll get you on The List.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 3:30 PM Central on Wednesday, 03/18/09 whichever comes first.
Good luck!

I’m letting this run for two days because I’m off work and life keeps getting in the way of my Feuds!

    Notes:
    1: With my luck Mayo will win.
    3: So help me, it’s the only thing I could think of. Hopefully it’ll be the only thing others think of, too.
    4: Kerry or Kennedy would have been the safe bet, but enough has been made of Obama’s Irish ancestry that it might be in the public consciousness.
    10: Could also be harp or fiddle, but those aren’t really distinctive of Irish music. Could be the bodhran, which is distinctive, but I doubt most folks will think of it. And most people think of bagpipes as more Scottish.
