this is the hardest feud in a while!

22

Yep. If it weren’t for Kate Winslet, we wouldn’t have any matches at all! The only reason I remembered her was because of all the buzz when she won the two Golden Globes, but never an Oscar.

The Confederate States of America was most definitely not “internationally recognized.” No country ever diplomatically recognized the CSA, not even Great Britain or France, which were inclined to be sympathetic in the early years of the Civil War.

33

Incidentally, I used this page as my source for Question #6.

However, the UK did recognize the CSA as belligerents for the first month of the “Late Unpleasantness”.

Besides, I’m scoring more points with my answer to this question than you are with yours… :o

Hell, being in the top 20 can’t be all that bad :slight_smile:

But why did I have to place JUST after Gonzo???

38

I knew that was going to be very hard. Too bad I had other stuff last night and couldn’t play in my own [del]torture[/del] feud.

39

I would like to thank the little people who made my award possible. 15 is good for me. I would feel horrible if I were way down at 16 or lower.
It was a tough feud.
Critter won since it was a second place poll.

40

Yay! My first last place finish! Woo hoo!

It’s like the first ding on a new car. Now I can relax and just enjoy playing. :stuck_out_tongue:
