Immigrants? What does that word mean? We only allow people in who can prove Viking heritage from at least 800 years back (unless they’re wimmin, they’re always allowed).

I even went to friggin Ireland a few years ago; maybe I focused on the wrong things while there then?

I know that having been to Ireland hurt my score. On the pub food question, I answered what they actually serve in pubs in Ireland, not what an American “Irish-themed” pub would serve.

That was some very good stew we had there, though.

Next year, I’ll have 10 different subjects! And I’ll go heavy on the literature!

It has long since been established that having actual knowledge of a subject tends to hurt one’s score.

Thus proving that **swampy** ’s dominance in the feud can only be attributed to near-universal ignorance. 😉
