That was actually the first thing I thought of, but then I thought, “Well, no one on the Dope is gonna say that…”
Also, I always do terribly at Feuds, but I’m genuinely surprised that no one else mentioned “Ironic” for rain. Bah.

*5 – alternate pick is “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” which doesn’t mention jail specifically, but does referenence Panmunjom, where negotiations between to end the Korean war and exchange prisoners were held, and Bridge on the River Kwai, which is about a prisoner-of-war camp.
OK, I checked the rules, and it didn’t say anything about not having more than one entry per person, so forgive me if this is gauche. I just couldn’t resist. I’m happy to have one (or both) of my entries excluded from scoring so others can get in the game, because I’m clearly not trying to win, here.

*2 - Murder, Incorporated is the obvious choice, but I like Nebraska better.
*10 - mentions beer, which some consider a food.
One entry per player is an unofficial rule at least. Also, you’ll want to fix the format of your answers or you’ll end up having all of them thrown out. Rebo scores them on a computer so they need to be in a fairly rigid format.

Everyone is saying “I Shot the Sheriff” for #2, but that was not murder…it was SELF DEFENSE!!!
Well, somebody murdered the Deputy!
Don’t look at me! I was in Reno at the time.
SiXSwordS is #39. That includes one set of answers by JMLVT68, provided he comes back and reformats his answers.
I’ll add in the rule of only one set of answers per person. I kinda thought it was obvious.

While you’re at it, be sure to add the rule “All players must be living human beings.” Just to cover all the bases.
And the discrimination begins…
