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.

**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.

_ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _

**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 \<\<—there is a space between the period and the word!!!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**  
The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **3:00 PM Central** on Friday, 7/24/08 whichever comes first. (I leave work early on Fridays.)

Good luck!
