Okay, folks, let's see how Stupid spent his summer!

---

1. How many rounds of golf has Stupid played since Memorial Day?
10 - 9
5 - 4
0 - 4
1 - 2
100 - 1

The roundest reasonable nonzero number wins out.

2. What did Stupid have on the grill at his July 4th party?
Burgers - 16
Hot dogs - 2
Chicken - 1
Steak - 1

I expected a better showing from hot dogs, but alas.

3. When Stupid and family spent a week's vacation at the beach, what was Stupid's drink of choice?
Beer - 18
Coke - 1
Gin and tonic - 1

It appears I should have asked what kind of beer. Our friend who answered "Corona" was treated generously. :D (didn't affect the result!)

4. What activity (other than that vacation) did Stupid's family most enjoy doing together this summer?
Swimming - 9
Baseball game - 3
Amusement park - 2
Beach - 2
Camping - 2
Golf - 1
Sports - 1

I would make fun of the "beach" response given the parenthetical, but there were two of you, so I guess the joke's on me. :)

5. Stupid's kids already have their school supplies list for the upcoming year. How much did Stupid shell out to buy supplies for his two kids?
$100 - 9
$200 - 7
$50 - 2
$400 - 1
$500 - 1

$100 actually only pushed past $200 in the end in this edition's best splitter, but the round number hypothesis holds yet again.

6. Now that things are beginning to settle down, Stupid's wife has reminded Stupid about his honey-do list. What's the first project on the list?
Painting - 9
Lawn mowing - 3
Garage cleaning - 3
Plumbing work - 2
Car repair - 1
Dishwasher repair - 1
Landscaping - 1

Nice spread. Lawn mowing/landscaping was a tough call to separate, but it didn't shake up the results.

#6 boned me (so did #5 now that I think about it). But enough about me. Check out the big brain on QS!

Summertime, and the livin' is easy.

Will try to gin something fun up soon. It's been a while since I had the conch shell on this.

Wait a cotton-picking minute. Stupid's got 2 kids, a nagging wife, a possible drinking problem, wasted a full week at the beach, spends countless days swimming at the pool, AND STILL HAD TIME TO PLAY 10 ROUNDS OF GOLF in 2 months!

I'd be jealous, except I know he probably hasn't tended to his FM14 career with all those other distractions.

Not that I answered, but 4 would have cost me.

This one felled me (as did 6) - same logic

Gratz QS.

Yup. Nailed 4 of them, did midling on one, and bombed another and finished barely out of the last group...

Thanks to number 6, I now know what to most not look forward to once I'm married. I can deal with the desire to get new furniture or other decorations, but painting? Ugh.

That's one I've never done. Thus I didn't even consider that in my answer.

However, I do have to fix a lot of shit around my place. That's why I went with the plumbing-style answer for my answer. Leaky faucets, leaky toilets, clogged pipes. Yep, that was the first thing that came to mind.
