> [@twickster](#): > > I didn’t go for Marseilles because I didn’t know how to spell it. ☹ Remember, use of google is allowed. If I let my spelling disqualify my answers I’d be screwed. Good feud. 8/10 for me, but a costly Burgundy. ---

I would have thought Haiti would have gotten more votes, what with the earthquake and the stuff about reparations and so on. I deserved to get hosed on the museum question since I just googled for a random answer. ---

Oh HELL YES ! Huh-huh, huh-huh, IN YO FACE ! Trust the French to win a French feud, yeah ! (Now all I gotta do is find any way not to end ~40th in any and all other feuds…) ---

“Lautrec” and “Toulouse-Lautrec” should also count together for #10, but at this point, doing another scoring update would probably be akin to the umpires in the Twins-Yankees game going back and reversing that “no strike even though it got plenty of the plate” call to Lance Berkman earlier today… ---
