I thought about using that answer, but changed my mind. :smack:

Did anyone answer “biggest ball of twine” who _isn’t_ familiar with the Weird Al classic?

I was going to use it as well but figured it too random or obscure (but I’m not familiar at all with whatever Weird Al’s association might be).

I think I saw it on that road trip episode of Boy Meets World. There was also a big yogurt cup but I think they were just getting silly. Especially with the parade of sprinkles.

heh, so I had a bit of a disconnect with the rules and thought we were playing it more like the final showdown on the TV show, needing to find an answer with high public opinion that no one else chose. Which in hindsight would be a pain in the ass to try and moderate.
