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  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**  
The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 3:00 PM Central on Friday, 9/5/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

1. Name a sports team that is perpetually bad.
2. Name a sports team that is not bad but never wins the championship despite coming close.
3. Name a sports star who has never won his/her sport’s championship.
4. Aside from Robert E Lee, name a general on the losing side of a war.
5. Name a loser of a US Presidential election, minimum 20 years ago.
6. Name a loser in a political contest other than a US Presidential election.
7. Name a casino game that your odds of winning are terrible.
8. Name a good actor who never won an Oscar or Emmy (excluding those whose careers pre-date the awards’ creations.)
9. Name a food people avoid when they want to lose weight.
10. Name a character on the TV show Lost.

13. I’m going to be pissed if people have forgotten the “[Dewey Defeats Truman](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2008-01/34569547.jpg)” photograph.
14. Well, it was a political contest, just played a bit bloodier than in many places. Of course Benazir Bhutto might have been a better answer.
15. Yeah, yeah. I know he got a lifetime achievement award. Which really seems to me more about the Academy realizing, “Shit, we’ve dissed one of the best actors in our profession for years. Quick, let’s apologize while he’s still alive.”
16. I’m guessing, here. I watched the pilot and just didn’t get into it, so it’s another pop phenomenon that is passing me by.  
ETA: Well, so far, I’m heading back down the basement at record speed. Drop some of that popcorn down here, willya? 😉

[del] **WormTheRed** , what is chips? I know of the tokens used for keeping track of score in poker and other betting games, but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about.[/del]

ETA: I am an idiot. I forgot which question was which. And thought that #8 was the one about gambling. :smack:

Oh god … losers! #4, Rommel was actually a Field Marshal, but I guess that’s pretty close to General. George Allen Jr. lost re-election to the Senate from VA a couple of years ago for … macaca-gate. Bob Hope was always a bridesmaid, never won an oscar or emmy, I think, and would always whine about it!
