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

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, and make fun of your loved ones in public.

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 American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a Daryl Hall and John Oates song," and you and four other people responded "Billie Jean" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

PM your answers to me, frozenrope. Deadline is Friday (9/24) at Noon eastern time.

So, here I go, trying to be good again:

question 1: Doable.
question 2: Still doable.
question 3: I'm getting somewhere, I might have a chance.
question 4: Oh boy, this is good, if only the last two won't be base...
question 5: @#*$-ing major league baseball!
question 6: Not this time, I guess.
