The Feud: Watch the Birdie! by Ellen Cherry [Game Over]

The Game Room
1 

**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.

3. 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 url's. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary!  No smilies! No extraneous bullshit 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 and I'll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11147947&postcount=94) 

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or as soon as I can score it.
Good luck!

I’m guessing Cardinal and Dodo will conch – will be interesting to see where people put ostrich, under “Australian” or “large.”

It’s specific to these feud threads. One of the questions once was “name a type of shell” and a surprisingly large number of people guessed conch. So conch became slang for an answer a lot of people pick.

Then Little Nemo should become slang for someone to whom one is indebted.

Good lord, I better check my blood sugar!
