IWS #140

Maple Leafs · 07-04-2006, 10:03 AM

Insert pre-amble that nobody will read....

*****************************************************
The questions:

1. Name an American league baseball team other than the Yankees or Red Sox.

2. If you had the #1 overall pick in your fantasy football draft this year, who would you take?

3. Paris Hilton recently released a single, making her the latest in a long line of celebrities to try their hand at a singing career. Which celebrity's singing effort was the worst of them all?

4. Kids are notoriously picky eaters. Name a food that all kids like.

5. When the year is over, which movie will have been the #1 box office hit of 2006?

6. When the results for this IWS are posted, how many of the six questions will you have picked the top answer for?

*******************************************************

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable. Whining or otherwise making a nuisance of yourself gives me license to reduce your score to zero.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking Canadian, eh. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a sport where people don't flop around like little girls" and you and four other people responded "soccer" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

PM your answers to me. Deadline is Sunday night at midnight eastern.

I have trumped your penultimate bump with a penultimate bump of my own . . .

Actually, your bump made his the penultimate.

st.cronin · 07-07-2006, 11:03 AM

There is actually a word for what comes BEFORE penultimate, but I forget what it is.

Antepenultimate.

Raven Hawk · 07-07-2006, 11:56 AM

I was assuming that he was planning on bumping again, making his penultimate bump a true penultimate bump and therefore I'd be trumping his penultimate bump with my own.

KWhit · 07-07-2006, 11:57 AM

Bump.
