The Daily Feud: Groundhog Day by Gangster Octopus [Game Over]

Groundhog Day Feud

DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS

Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Google or other research is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

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.

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.

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 after the period!
2. response
3. rejoinder

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:00 PM Central on Tuesday, 02/02/09 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

    Notes:

1: Many other options (Latrobe, Johnstown, Lancaster, Erie come to mind), but the capital should be a safe bet.
9: I wanted to say Xenia, OH, but I doubt that one’s known to anyone but collectors of odd facts.

Ah, I should have known it. On this board, we have plenty of collectors of odd facts. I wouldn’t have thought Scranton would be so popular for #1, though.
