Woo hoo, top ten!!! 🙂 LOL Of course, in the previous feud I scored in the -bottom- ten. 😃 Ah well, I’ll enjoy the top ten while I can.

\*\*Yllaria \*\* and **Biffy** , you didn’t use any numbers.

**Fretful** , you put periods at the end of your answers.  
[/QUOTE]  
okay - that’s a little extreme. Don’t worry - I won’t be that harsh in the Filler Feud

Bottom ten isn’t anything to crow about, sure, but at least I got to be **42** so yay! 🆒

Usually, the OPS try to remember to ask the mods to relabel the game (not the thread) as “closed” - I just sent that request in

[QUOTE=KGS]  
Dang, that’s harsh.

Are you gonna penalize players for improper use of capital/lowercase letters as well? :mad:  
[/QUOTE]

Is Alex Trebek harsh for not accepting responses in the form of a question? It’s just part of the game.

Your question about naming a summer month was very hemisphere-centric. Naughty, naughty. 🙂

Hotcha! Top 5 thanks to the tie!

There are a bunch of Labrador-lovers in this forum.

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn]  
Yeah, I debated that, but ultimately decided that they are essentially the same tool.  
[/QUOTE]

And yet you counted “rose” and my “yellow rose” (which I thought of because you’re from Texas!) as separate answers. I’m mentally adjusting my score to 330.00 and thus moving myself up from 34th to 32nd place, while similarly increasing **peekercpa** ’s tally from 428.00 to 432.00 (the placement remains the same in that case).

Look at the chart again – **CoG888** has 468 points, while you have 458. Still, I envy your Elite 8 finish!

I’m counting the Top Two as sharing first, so that puts me in the top 5, place-wise. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! 😃

I guess I was harsh in penalizing - it was my first time! I’ll try to go easier next time.
