The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game's deeply beloved progenitors. There is no doubt about this. They are the best.

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. For the mathematically challenged, product means they are multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants. There are no prizes other than everlasting glory and total consciousness on your deathbed, so the need to cheat shouldn't be an issue.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring even the most trivial degree of 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 utterly inarguable, no exceptions. I, and I alone, can determine what is right.

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 "who is the most villainous quarterback ever" and you and seven others respond with "Tom Brady" I will reluctantly award you all 8 points before smacking you upside the head and telling you it was clearly Dean Houston (he should never have slapped that kid).

Stupid is very very very heartbroken, lets discuss why below.


1.Stupids favorite team looses every year...but not only do they lose, they give you just enough hope to make the kick in the balls that much worse, what team does stupid cheer for?

2.Stupids city seems to be cursed, as all the teams there lose over and over, but they win just enough to make the ball kick hurt, where does stupid live?

3.Stupids Significant Other just broke up with him because "their fandom was not compatible" which team does stupids GF cheer for? (not in relation to #1)

4.Stupids brother is a martyr, he cheers for a team that constantly feels that they are the true heartbroken/oppressed fans, but stupid would love to cheer for that level of success, what team does stupids brother cheer for?

5.Stupids favorite player has gotten hurt and is out for a long time, everyone (who cheers for that team) is convinced the sky is falling, but in reality hes very replaceable, who is stupids favorite (and overrated) player?

6.Stupid is gambling on someones heartbreak to end in the next year, what long suffering fan base finally gets a win?

oorrrrrr you could run with what you have.

it's just gonna be a wild distribution because of the lack of constraints. More entries are just gonna make it worse.

I'm not sure I've ever done one of these, but I had an idea for a possibly fun one. What about an IWS featuring jersey numbers? For instance, 23 would be a fun number. Does one go with Jordan or James?

Anyhow, there's my idea. If someone wants to run with it, great. Or if it's already been done, then my apologies.
