**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

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

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None**

* * *

Or, if not conchless, at least differently conched. The following ten questions produced conchs in earlier feuds. Here they are again, with the conch banned as an answer:

1. Other than McDonalds, name a fast-food chain
2. Other than Sean Connery, name an actor who portrayed James Bond
3. Other than “whispered,” name a synonym for “said quietly”
4. Other than a bed, name something you find in a bedroom
5. Other than John Cleese, name a member of Monty Python
6. Other than Beijing, name a city in China
7. Other than Sherlock Holmes, name a fictional detective
8. Other than Pavarotti, name an opera singer
9. Other than Janet, name a relative of Michael Jackson
10. Other than Cats, name a long-running Broadway show

11. Probably a loser answer, but I’m blanking otherwise!
