I figured St. Louis would win, but I honestly thought a few folks might mention San Francisco.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a three-way tie! The winners are… NDP, Mahaloth and Sigmagirl! Way to go, you guys! They all got 9/10 top answers, but a couple of different ‘wrong’ ones. Congratulations! Perfect score was 542.00.

Thanks, everybody! Thanks, Baker!

28th Pffffffffffffft

‘Tis was a hard feud’

Thanks Rebo, Baker, it was fun. congratz to the trio of winners.

Damn, that was a poor showing. I don’t know my saints!

Thanks to Rebo and Baker for a fun feud.

Well, I didn’t do as good as I expected, but better than most others I’ve played lately.

I didn’t expect Billy Graham to be tops on #10, as he didn’t ask for money during his crusades, and money is what I associate with folks like Roberts, Bakker, Swaggart, et al. But he was on TV, and he was an evangelist.

Wow, tied for first. I guess the time I spent in those Catholic schools paid off.

Also, to celebrate, here’s an appropriate song by The Boss.

I’m so humiliated. You guys had all the wrong answers, that’s all.

Is this the first time we had a split tie like this with everyone scoring the same amount of points on a question?

Can’t tell you how happy I am to be at 23 rather than the mid-40s, per usual. :slight_smile:

I really suck at this game.
