Damn, I’d have been in the top four had I submitted my entry in time. Oh well, it was fun anyway. I’m glad that tomorrow’s feud will be posted in the afternoon.

No no, I meant higher up like “closer to 1st.” I’m superstitious about the number 13, as well as all the numbers that follow it.

Woohoooo! Far and away the fastest I’ve ever filled out a Feud. The closest I came to thinking about an answer was when I went “Sean…no, wait, Julian”.

Really interesting answer. That was the one question where I had no idea what other people might choose. For me, the thought of “middle period” Beatles immediately brings to mind “Day Tripper,” “Ticket to Ride,” “Paperback Writer,” “Yesterday,” “Nowhere Man,” “And Your Bird Can Sing,” “Michelle”…stop me any time you get bored…

Thanks **Dolores** and **Zebra** for the Feud. This one was right up my alley.
