**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.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=10675538#post10675538)

_ **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 quotation marks, 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 **4:00 PM Central** on Wednesday, 02/11/09 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

All of these questions appeared in previous feuds. (Special rule - no searching old threads.) All of the answers were picked by over 45 people.

1. Name a LARGE planet in this star system.
2. Name a food served at Thanksgiving.
3. Other than Groucho, name one of the Marx Brothers.
4. Other than American, name a yellow or orange sandwich cheese.
5. Name a cola.
6. Name a flag with red, white and blue in it.
7. Name a laundry detergent.
8. Name a Confederate General.
9. Name a sports magazine.
10. And, of course, name a type of seashell.

Having set up this Feud, I essentially know what the obvious answers are. So I’ll recuse myself.

Why do I feel I’m completely missing the point of this feud, and after I post I’ll see all my answers are “wrong”?

ETA: Christ Almighty, maybe the point of the feud is it seems so obvious that you do it so fast you make a STUPID mistake. Ulysses S. Grant as a Confederate General??? What was I thinking?

Yep! That’s the point - that’s why I said Mars is the biggest planet. :smack:

It’s just meant to be a fun Feud. Some of these are so dang serious!

Just out of curiosity, is the feud title a typo? It seems like it should be the obvious feud.

Well, not really. **Little Nemo** called it the Obvious Feud, but I thought I’d be cutesy and change it. Because the oblivious ones will miss the conchs.

It’s lame. ☹
