My mind is asploding – **jsgoddess** and I are the ONLY two people who said “Dinah Washington.” To the best of my recollection, she and I have never even discussed poor Dinah. “This is, indeed, a disturbing universe.” ---

I would have scored 368, for 38th place. I had 6/10 top answers and two utter failures. ---

Huh, so if I had ever heard of Owen Wilson, I’d have won this one. And while we’re at it, who’s Amy Adams? ---

> [@Infovore](#): > > Seriously, you people fail at being Dopers! At least all but 7 of you do! 😃 At least no one said Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday or Pugsley Adamms. Gomez was my initial answer to the “Adams” question, Was Uncle Fester an “Addams”? I always assumed Uncle Fester was Morticia’s uncle, not Gomez. (right or wrong, I always assumed crazy relatives are on the wife’s side of the family.) My woeful showing in this feud has to be traced to my baseball knowledge. Whitey Ford? Gary Carter? FWIW, I saw Whitey Ford get inducted to Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown shortly after Gerald Ford became president. I remember one line from his speech. (“It’s been a good week for Fords”) ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Was Uncle Fester an “Addams”? I always assumed Uncle Fester was Morticia’s uncle, not Gomez. (right or wrong, I always assumed crazy relatives are on the wife’s side of the family.) I think it depends on whether you’re talking about Jackie Coogan or Christopher Lloyd (i.e. the TV show or the movie). ---

At least I got top 10 in my own feud. I actually had Amy Adams at first. I wasn’t sure if changing to Cecil would be a good move or not, but once I thought of it I couldn’t \*not \*do it! Still, without Henry Ford, Amy wouldn’t have saved me. > [@notfrommensa](#): > > Was Uncle Fester an “Addams”? I always assumed Uncle Fester was Morticia’s uncle, not Gomez. (right or wrong, I always assumed crazy relatives are on the wife’s side of the family.) Hmmm… According to IMDb, the character’s name in the 1960’s TV series is “Uncle Fester Frump” while in the 1990’s movies it’s “Uncle Fester Addams.” Somebody must know. Maybe start a thread in Cafe Society? ---

So, Asimovian and I are the only two people who said Dinah Washington. I guess the brain-sharing has started and we’re still on opposite sides of the damned country. ---

ooh, last place. Not good. But as I said before, Marilyn NEVER EVEN OCCURRED TO ME. Basketball on the brain, I guess. Marilyn’s better looking, though. How’s her jump shot?
