Crapioca. That was by far my worst showing, ever. I'm morphing into MIJB!

lol....


We do accumulative scoring over at Crapwagon..... every 10 IWS's equals a season, with a winner crowned..... it's worked well so far and would be interesting to try over here, but I wouldn't want to infringe on tradition....

I stared blank at this question, not knowing anything about John Cusack and the listed movies. Runaway Jury looked new and the best guess... (What's up with the split answers, TLK)

A classic IWS question, with cherry being my (correct) answer.

In this question, I should have gone with my first thought, Cheers. Then I decided to research and ended up with Miami Vice... This is all your fault, Buc!

Me thinking a QB would beat out the DE... And Terrell Owens? Wasn't he traded? He will be and FA after this IWS contest, if he is going to be at all...

Still managing to finish 11th with those answers, it puzzles me... And being tied with Shorty, having only 1 same answer, that is really amazing.

But you are correct, Miami Vice is the greatest TV theme song ever. I didn't see Cheers break into the Billboard Top 40 back in the 80s. Cheers' song makes you think of fat guys and cheap beer. Miami Vice's makes you think of cocaine, tan women in g-strings, and fast cars. BTW, one guess as to who the other Miami Vice voter was.

While I just screwed the pooch on this one... I have to say that I'm fascinated by the fact that Hillary Clinton more than doubled up Laura Bush. That's fascinating to me - I see a variety of reasons why that might have happened. But it strikes me as unusual that someone who actually has been elected to high profile public office gets more votes as a coattailer than a more recent first lady who literally has done nothing of public note other than get married. Aside from the partisanship, it really defies all the traditional IWS rules.

I am the only vote for Welcome Back Kotter? I think it was the only one of the answers that was actually a #1 song. I thought that was the gimmie.

M.A.S.H.?

I think the reason for that QS, is that Laura Bush is really not that well known at all, much less than Billary was.

Shame on them!

Cheers is a classic comedy, outdoing the family comdy/dramas.

"Good morning everybody..." - Norm
"Norm!" - everybody

Runaway Jury is a John Grisham movie silly .

I shoulda gone with Cheers. I debated long and hard about that one.

Hillary Clinton was another. If only I hadn't thought "gee Bill Clinton might be a good answer as well".

Wow I was tied for the lead after Question 3 with a 100% and then went down in flames hard.

Quicksand, I'm afraid that Hillary got elected only because of her famous husband. If that's not the definition of a coat-tailer then I don't know what is. (forget the fact that it's not a real word lol).

I refused to vote for Mario Andretti so I went to F1 and chose Fangio, as for the person that picked Dale Earnhardt do you know what open wheel racing is?
