**Object of the game:** Give the most popular answer for each category. **Rules:** 1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system. 2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below). 3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. 4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire. 5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it. 6. There is no Rule 6. 7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None **Formatting rules:** To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this: 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED. **Scoring:** With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points. Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Good luck! If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can. **Read the rules! Special Rules for this particular Feud: None** Sorry it took me so long to get a new Feud up! 1. Name a popular U.S. beach. 2. Name a popular other-than-U.S. beach. 3. Name a flavor of ice cream (excluding chocolate. strawberry or vanilla.) 4. Name something you’d bring to a potluck picnic or BBQ. 5. Name a destination for a family vacation. (Could be a city, could be a type of place.) 6. What’s an average age a teen would be left behind at home alone while the family went on summer vacation? 7. Name a popular summer blockbuster movie. 8. Name a popular food you get at a county fair. 9. Name an activity for bored kids in the summer. 10. Name an animal you might see on a nature trail. ---

The Riviera is not a beach, it’s a stretch of coastline encompassing a several beaches and two different countries (there is an Italian and a French riviera). If that counts as an answer then all US beaches should be clumped together from Miami to Maine. St Tropez is a beach; The Riviera is a nickname for the Cote d’Azur (blue coast). So an analogy would be the East Coast. ---
