**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 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.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10778971&postcount=82)

_ **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. And no quotes, please. 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 **3:30 PM Central** on Thursday, 02/19/09 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

1. Name your favorite character from The Big Lebowski.
2. Give a catchphrase or line from the movie.
3. Would you ever fuck with the Jesus?
4. Best-dressed character: the Dude, Walter or Donny?
5. Like Maude, do you consider coitus “a natural, zesty enterprise”?
6. Who or what does the Stranger (Sam Elliott) represent?
7. Name the best song heard in the movie.
8. Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, is it, at least, an ethos?
9. Who is your favorite secondary character from the movie?
10. Would a BJ from Bunny be worth a thousand dollars?

Me neither, but it’s a Doper favorite, so maybe I’d better check it out. I think it’s about a rug.

I mean it looks like most of the questions posed are intended to illicit the appropriate responses i.e. lines from the film.  
Therefore, it’s more a quiz than a feud.

And there’s 4 yes/no questions…

I don’t think The Dude’s rug was a Persian, but the one he stole from the other Lebowski probably was. Some guys break into The Dude’s house – mistaken identity, they were looking for the rich Lebowski. One of the guys pees on the rug. The Dude goes to the other Lebowski’s house and wants recompense for his ruined rug. He doesn’t get it, so he steals one of the other Lebowski’s rugs. Mayhem ensues.
