**North American Country** - quickly skimming the thread, I don’t think anyone’s mentioned France. ---

Edit: Oops, it’s already over. I was so intent on not seeing anyone’s answers, I didn’t think to check. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] 4. Name a fictional town in The Simpsons besides Springfield. \ Homer City 1 Homer City 1 [/Quote] Shouldn’t this count as a two-point answer? > [@](#): > > 1. Name a Confederate General besides Lee. > \ > J.E.B. Stuart 2 > Jeb Stuart 1 Same guy. His full name was James Ewell Brown Stuart, so his first three initials were easily transformed into the word “Jeb”. Also, I get 366 points when I add up my score, and thus believe I’m actually (barring additional adjustments) tied with **NAF1138** for fourteenth. However, I do agree with you that Central America is indeed a part of the North American continent, even if some residents of the Western Hemisphere’s Spanish-speaking lands (and some folks from Anglophone nations as well) use the term _norteamericanos_ to refer exclusively to Canadians and USA denizens, or to Mexicans in addition to those governed from Ottawa and Washington. ---

**Sternvogel** I actually did count the two Stuarts as one (or tried to). And there was only one Homer City, that is just a typo in the above post… Also, don’t count your vote in your points. You get two points for every answer besides your own. ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] This one surprised me a bit at how overwhelming Jackson was. [/QUOTE] That goes to show what having a cool nickname does for you. ---

Nice game, thanks! (And the other beef with the Simpsons question is that there’s absolutely no way anyone who doesn’t watch the show – and there are a few of us – would have any chance at all at making up an answer. Just sayin’.) ---
