1. Car 2. Flares 3. Hermione Granger 4. Houmous 5. Sweets 6. Proton 7. Bad 8. I, Robot 9. Sterling 10. Good Health 11. refers to the Michael Jackson song. I suspect and hope it will surpass “conch” in its ubiquity. I really struggled with 8., my answer is more a novella than short story, but never mind. ETA: how so little support for _Bad_? It’s obvious! ---

Ok - we have 47. I’ll go start scoring, just to get a head start. Oh, and by the way, I think on the toast question (#10) - I’m going to treat all answers as if they were a quote. (I’ll fix spelling errors, of course.) What I mean is, even if “skoal” means “to life” (I have no idea what it means!) I’m going to treat them as separate answers. No translations, in other words. Be back soon. ---

[QUOTE=brujaja] **Justin\_Bailey** , it’s a Jumblicious Grab-Bagetry Melangipan Feud. _None_ of the questions are like the others. [/QUOTE] Nah, all of the questions have a very Feud-like quality except for number 8. It just seems to stick out as weird. ---

[QUOTE=3acresandatruck] Oh, and what are ‘elephant ears’? This curious heathen wants to know! [/QUOTE] According to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_ear_%28doughnut%29), elephant ears often refers to fried dough often sold at carnivals. I’d thought elephant ears were [these](http://www.ssb6.net/users/20960/elephant_ears.jpg), however, and was wondering why everyone was getting them at a carnival, and not the patisserie. ---
