**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: No repeats of previous answers** 1. Besides makeup, what does a movie star have in her trailer? 2. Besides office supplies, what does the President have in his Oval Office desk drawer? 3. Other than guns and handcuffs, what does a police officer have in the trunk of her squad car? 4. Other than clothes, what does a firefighter have in the footlocker under his bed? 5. Other than brushes and tubes of paint, what does a painter have in the pocket of his smock? 6. Other than lenses, what does a photographer have in the pocket of her vest? 7. What does a baker have in the pocket of his apron? 8. What does a doctor have in the pocket of his white coat? 9. What does an architect have in the tray of his drafting table? 10. What does a knight in shining armor have in his belt pouch? ---
