2 and 3 are hard – if I don’t like something, I don’t watch it. For the answer to #2 I finally ended up with, I’d specify “last two seasons” if we were allowed to make notes.

ETA: If you wanted to lump my answer to #7 in with “poverty,” I could actually get a few points … or am I betraying my Marxist principles by wanting points? **ponders**

Not a comedy, IMHO – and actually a really good movie if you’re not expecting it to be funny.

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. Coffee

2. Opray

3. Dude, where’s my car

4. Egg boiler

5. 0%

6. Solar

7. Non-fair trade

8. Beer

10. Jaywalking

11. I just can’t get into any talk-shows, but Oprah gets it since she’s been there the longest.

12. Why not use a pot?

13. I despise commercials in the middle of shows

14. Just noticed it, and already it’s bugging me
