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

**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.

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.

_ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _

**Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks.  
JUST LIKE THIS:

**1. answer \<\<—There is a space after the period!  
2. response  
3. rejoinder**

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at **4:00 PM Central** on Sunday, 11/02/08 whichever comes first.

Good luck!

5. _The Pirate_

6. _Hello, Dolly!_

7. _Oklahoma!_

8. _Beauty and the Beast_

9. _Beauty and the Beast_

10. _Spamalot_

11. I’m either looking at a conch, here, or going to be all by my lonesome.

12. This **has** to be the conchiest conch I’ve ever seen, with her name mentioned in the next question. 😉

13. Hmm… “ahead of its time” the Wikipedia article says - I will have to watch this one.

14. How can you go wrong with a pirate movie?

15. If _Yentl_ gets more love I’m going to be miffed.

16. I _hate_ this musical. But I had “I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say No” blared at me while I was walking out of the rehab center after I visited my mom. And it’s sorta on my mind.

17. _Little Mermaid_ and _The Lion King_ are both good examples - but I prefer this one.

18. I’ll stick with this choice - even though I know _The Lion King_ was first.

19. Hmm… _Spamalot_ or _The Producers_. Tough call. But this is the internet: there is much love for Monty Python on the internet. I’m going with that.

ETA: I see my conch predicting powers work as well as ever. That is, not at all.

(Goes off to make more pie, and get ready for **WormTheRed** and **gonzomax** ’s arrivals.)
