If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on The PM 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 after the period!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **4:30 PM Central** on Sunday, 8/03/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

1. Boeing 747
2. Douglas Bader
3. British Airways
4. Von Ryan’s Express
5. Netherlands
6. Erie
7. Ferrari
8. 24 Heures du Mans
9. A tank
10. Ford Ka

Yay! First!

1. Not likely to be first thought, but you have to admire the man.
2. I hope that film has trains in it. It _sounds_ like it should…
3. The Erie is the only railroad I can remember from the games of 1830 I can remember, and digging the game out would be unsporting.

Yay, a feud that isn’t closed yet! I haven’t been able to get a jump on one of these in a couple weeks…

1. Airbus
2. Lindbergh
3. Swissair
4. The General
5. Japan
6. Amtrak
7. BMW
8. Indy 500
9. Motorcycle
10. Ford Taurus

4 = probably not going to get me very many points, but it’s the first one I thought of, and the BEST of the train movies.
