**1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**2. 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.

3. Formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**.

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No url's. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**!  

The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks.

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. (I've quit maintaining The List.) If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
Good luck!

**Read the rules!**

This Feud is styled a little differently. Here, the object is to just give the answer that is true for yourself; the matching and point-scoring is gravy. 

I think it will be really interesting to see what are the most common true answers. 

1. Name something that you eat that has no real nutritional value.
2. Name a TV show that you really hate.
3. Name a "comedy" movie that isn't funny.
4. Name a kind of apparel that you hate.
5. During a half-hour TV program, what percentage of that time is okay to devote to commercials? (use multiples of 5 - 5%, 10%, etc.)
6. Name a viable alternative energy source.
7. What do you consider the single biggest problem in the world today? (one or two words is best.)
8. What is the most overpriced commodity that you buy regularly? (Thing. Not a service.)
9. Name a common grammatical, spelling, punctuation, etc. error that drives you up the wall.
10. Name a bogus, yet ticketable, (legal) offense.
```

Damn…I misread #5. I was wondering who in their right mind could think that only 5% of a 30 minute program is commercials. Now I see (and agree) that that’s what they wish it was.

I also misread #6 as “Name a viable alternative to surgery” and answered “Death”, but then reread the question before I submitted the post.
