> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > NITPICK: He mispelt potato’E’ > > SERIOUS NITPICK:He actually corrected a twelve y.o. who had spelt the word all correct-like. In Quayle’s defense (which you won’t see me doing very often) he was reading it off the card that the school had prepared for the competition. When he got to that card and saw the word “potatoe” on it, he apparently paused and showed it to a school official who assured him the cards had all been checked and were correct. Honestly, I can see myself doing the same thing. I’d probably think, “well, I always thought it was spelled potato but apparently I’ve been wrong all this time” and gone ahead with what the card said. ---

2nd place! Even with the worst answer in the entire feud: paper mache. Ouch. ---

I’m just glad I didn’t come in last. That’s the closest I’ve been, though. ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > Gee, thanks. > I’m just trying to figure out how I didn’t get only 10 points :smack: because if you’re the only one with a given answer, you get 0 points. You must match at least one person in order to score. ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > Well, Earth Potato & Taco Time were good, but Special Deal & Eye Wash sank you. Ya know, when I read that, all I could think of was high-school French and a potato being a pomme de terre ot apple of the Earth. As if that wasn’t stupid enough, my answer would have made more sense as “Earth apple” :smack: Did ya ever have the deep fried bean and cheese burritos at Taco Time? I think my strategy on the next one should not be things from growing up. ---
