But you’ll shoot your eye out!!

I wonder if there’s a correllation between picking rat/bat/cat for the animal name and Pat for the ungendered name.

just checked. so far the general populace has a 14/38 = 37% chance to pick pat, while those who picked rat/bat/cat have an 8/18 = 44% chance to pick pat. Not sure if that’s a meaningful difference, nor if either sample size is large enough

I’m getting to this a little late, but this ain’t Cafe Society material. Being moved to IMHO.

**Rachel Christine** , you’re fairly new here and we’re glad you’re with us. You might want to read over the forum rules for future, it’ll make things easier. Not a big deal, though.

The choice of Forum for this thread was less that of **RachelChristine** than of mine. I had posted several threads relating to CS types of topics, e.g., roles that you thought of for various entertainers. The follow-up Family Feud notion (which I would suggest has at least some CS overtones) was definitely less CS than IMHO. So I can’t quarrel with the moving of the thread. But **RachelChristine** was merely following my lead. This would be fairly clear within the posts in the original Family Feud thread itself.

Just trying to clarify that **RachelChristine** is not all that new here and that she wasn’t entirely at fault for the thread’s placement.
