RULES!

**1. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS**

**2. Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.

1. Formatting rules:

If they are not followed, your answers might be **DISQUALIFIED**.

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No urls. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bs is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST**!

The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks.

Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me. (I’ve quit maintaining The List.) If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.

Good luck!

**Read the rules! 🙂**  
I’m going out of town Friday morning, so I’ll score this tomorrow afternoon, and y’all will be on your own until Monday!

1. Name something with a spring inside it.
2. Name an item you would decorate your office with.
3. Name something that flashes.
4. Name something you would still wear, even if it had a hole in it.
5. Name something you might soak.
6. Name a generic food or drink you would recognize by the shape of it’s container.
7. Name something you do at a party.
8. Name a loud animal at the zoo.
9. Name something people plan, then chicken out at the last minute.
10. Name something you would bring to a potluck dinner.

8 - is probably not going to be popular, but it’s the one animal at my zoo that always makes loud noises when I’m there. The lions are loud when they roar, but they rarely feel like it.

I tried to do this fast, kind of a word association thing. My first thought for #7 was Twister but I don’t think I’ve done that at a party since I was 12. First thought on #9, terrorism - dunno where the heck that came from.

Notes  
2: I’m the wrong person to ask this… My office is decorated with a binary clock, an assortment of Rubic’s cubes and similar puzzles, a Lego TIE fighter, a plasma sphere, a jigsaw-puzzle globe, a Klein bottle, an evil-eye talisman… But I figure a family picture is a safe enough guess.  
3: What’s brown and sticky? A stick.  
4: OK, maybe not, but it’s at least a worn thing that people often think of as having a hole  
7: Not personally, but going for the points
