I'm With Stupid #149

[QuikSand]

For this edition of I'm With Stupid, you shall place yourself into the role of fashion catalog mogul. The following colors are yours to name, in the grand tradition of the J Crew, Land's End, Eddie Bauer, L. L. Bean, and countless other, usually overpriced, bastions of wearable fashions.

If you are not familiar with the traditions of such companies (maybe check out theor online sites to get a better feel for the intent here) - I'll give you some guidance. Color names such as purple, blue, brown, tan, white, and red are completely unacceptable for these purposes. So, if you submit any of those responses as your answers -- I will award you zero points and you will be fired from your cush job.

Your six responses will be to offer a suitable "catalog name" for each of the colors shows below, from top to bottom. Standard rules apply, including my exclusive ability to determine matches. Have fun...

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly 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. Yes, that means they will be multiplied together, not added. 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 you and/or 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 "what is the trickiest punctuation mark?" and you and four other people responded "commas", you each get five points, period, even though the correct answer is "apostrophe's."

PM your answers to me. Deadline will be Thursday (2/22) at 9 PM Eastern time or, quite candidly, whenever I damn well please.

[cuervo72]

Nice idea.

[korme]

This could potentially be the biggest tie for first place ever.

[Coffee Warlord]

Holy hard.

[SnDvls]

sent

[QuikSand]

Particularly with guidance right in the thread to ignore the guidance and cut corners, I have patched up the rules a bit to make this one a shade mor interesting. I'll get back to those who have submitted answers that aren't in keeping with the modified rules. Sorry for the needed twist... I yet again overestimated Stupid.

[QuikSand]

Bump for the daytime crowd.

[Coffee Warlord]

I have a feeling 3 matches will be a huge score.

[Butter]

I'm giving this a try.

[Toddzilla]

If there ever was an IWS custom-made for the Matrix M-F forums, this is it.

[cuervo72]

snet

[EagleFan]

Sent my first place tie of 1. ;)

[Raiders Army]

I'd do this, but my entry wouldn't be counted.

[cartman]

Submission from my colorblind ass

[kingfc22]

This should be interesting

[QuikSand]

That's more like it. Despite the protests, I have about 20 submissions in hand.

I will probably be scoring them on Friday morning, so anything I get by then will be considered. Thanks for playing - hopefully we can get this thing revived and back running again.

...and reviving FOFC Highlander would be cool, too...

[Draft Dodger]

this is a great idea. I haven't done an IWS in years, but this pulled me back

[wade moore]

I haven't done IWS in probably at least 6 months... I'm glad I happened to click on this one - this should be very interesting...

[QuikSand]

I don't have time to tally these up this morning... so it will probably be mid-afternoon by the time I can get a chance to wrap it up. I'll accept anything I receive by the time I start gathering them.

[QuikSand]

Last call - I have 25 entries, I think, and am about to start tallying.

[wbatl1]

Last call - I have 25 entries, I think, and am about to start tallying.

Could take a while with this set of "questions" ;)

[QuikSand]

No joke. Far fewer repeats than usual, I'm doing more typing that ordinary.

A lot of people got a very different vibe on this than I was trying to send. *shurg*
