68

C;mon Dolo Rebo. What’s more important, the entertainment of Dopers or your selfish interests? :smiley:
Just kidding, I and everyone appreciate your efforts. Take your time

69

Ok - off to score. OtakuLoki is #50.

70

Yes, that doesn’t make it the best answer, though*. My answers are almost always the best, it’s just the philistines that post in this thread can’t see it. :wink:

Damned kids here making 99 Luftballoons, which wasn’t really much of a hit in the USA, until it got redone in English, vs La Bamba, which has to be one of the biggest non-English language songs ever. No sense of history, I tells ya.

*I almost put “Du Hast” as the non-English song. And I like Guano Apes for Big in Japan, but you had to know that one would get little love here.

Hey, **Gonzomax **and OtakuLoki! What are you guys doing way up there?

Damn… I really need to become better at thinking what everyone else is thinking.

75

I think I got up here by accident. I mean I fluffed at least two answers I can recall, and looking at the scores a few more, too.

Don’t worry, it’s just a fluke. I’ve brought the chocolate pie, if you want some. :wink:
Thanks again, Dolores, and bmoak - thanks for an interesting feud!

76

I am reaching a new level. I have become a top threat. You guys are looking small in my rear view mirror.

77

I am old . That is what I use to justify my low ranking. I do not share experiences with most of the yoots on the board.

78

Yes please! I’ll save mine for the next one :wink:

Are you hedging your bets for future Feuds :wink:

79

Hey I have a pie thread going in Cafe Society; come share your recipe! :stuck_out_tongue:

And LOOK AT ME in the TOP 10!

::go Ellen, go Ellen:: shakes booty

:: wolf whistle ::

Come shake your booty at the new Feud!
