IWS #142 results

[JeeberD]

After a short week long delay, here are the results!

1.Name an Indian dish

Tandoori Chicken 5
Curry 5
Chicken Tikka Masalla 4
Chicken Curry 3
Mysore Rasam 1
Murgh Makhini 1
Vada 1
Lamb Masala 1
Shish kebab 1

I really didn't like the way the answers came out for this question. I thought that "Curry" was a cheap, generic answer, but I couldn't combine it with other answers unless I wanted to lump almost everything together. So I just decided to leave it simple and seperate.


2. Name a Thai dish

Pad Thai 14
Thai chicken satay 1
Curry 1
Peanut Chicken 1
Panang Curry 1
Prawn Soup with Lemongrass 1
Green Curry 1
Chicken Curry 1
Evil Jungle Shrimp 1

Pad Thai is what I figured would be the winner here, and it ran away with the competition. If you didn't get the right answer here, you were in big trouble.


3. Name a Mexican dish

Tacos 13
Burrito 4
Enchiladas 3
Fajitas 1
Tortillas 1
Chilli 1

Tacos were the difinitive winner. I was a little surprised that fajitas didn't get a little more love...


4. Name a German dish

Bratwurst 9
Schnitzel 7
Sauerkraut 6
Sausage 1

I had a little trouble scoring this one because of the sausage answer. The person who answerd sausage most likely meant bratwurst when he answered the question, but he didn't specify. Plus, there are many types of German sausage, so I left it as it was. And it made an impact in the standings.


5. Name an American dish

Hamburger/Cheeseburger 16
Hot Dog 2
Buffalo Wings 1
Fried Chicken 1
Mac and Cheese 1
Apple pie 1
Pizza 1

Another category with a definitive winner.


6. What is the best dessert in the entire world?

Ice Cream 8
Apple Pie 4
Cheesecake 2
Chocolate Cake 2
Banana Split 2
Chocolate Mousse 2
Tiramisu 1
Sex 1
Haggis 1

Apple Pie jumped out to an early lead, but ice cream roared back and took it easily.

KWhit 25%



Congrats to KWhit on his first IWS victory! Of course, if albion had put brats instead of sausage he would have wiped up the competition with a perfect score, but that's how the IWS cookie crumbles...

I smell controversy.

Thank goodness for the disclaimer (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=51268)... ;)

"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.

w00t!

Thus endeth my long winless streak in IWS competition.

You lose, bishes!!!!!!

Yes, I am a very gracious winner.

[Vince]

Damn. This is my best IWS showing in a long time though.

[Raven Hawk]

No love for Evil Jungle Shrimp? For shame!

[albionmoonlight]

I smell controversy.

If there is to be a controversy, it won't be because of the score; it will be because he called my wife a gentleman.

[QuikSand]

And our winner, who only dines at the Alladin Jailbait Memorial Buffet...

Great reference. Winner indeed!

[JeeberD]

If there is to be a controversy, it won't be because of the score; it will be because he called my wife a gentleman.

I'm guessing Touchstone is your wife? I was wondering who the mysterious person with just one post was...

Well, it's not Vince. Unless there is something pretty important that Mrs. A isn't telling me.

That's my baby.

Isn't she beautiful?

[MIJB#19]

Veda and Tortillas, a recipe for disaster.

[MikeVic]

As American as Apple Pie?? I thought for sure people would think of this regarding question #5. :D

[Wasabiak]

Damn it! I was looking good after the first 3. Then the bottom fell out. :(

[rkmsuf]

the fact that nobody answered with all names of hot women is troubling

[Vince]

Well, it's not Vince. Unless there is something pretty important that Mrs. A isn't telling me.

Damn, you got me all excited for a second.

[JeeberD]

Geez...sure is taking KWhit forever to get a new IWS up. ;)

[MIJB#19]

Geez...sure is taking KWhit forever to get a new IWS up. ;)

[fantastic flying froggies]
