IWS #199: Holiday Roads
 
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 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 word "product" means that they will be 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. Just don't be an asshat, and this should end well.

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. The administrator's decisions are final and utterly inarguable, no exceptions.

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 was the second-best comedy of the 1980s after Cheers?" and you answer "The Cosby Show" along with 20 others, you each (shockingly) score 21 points, despite the fact that the indisputable correct answer is "Night Court."

The Questions

It is August. Vacation time. In the US, you may get a week off to hit the beach with the family. If you're in Europe, well, see you in September. Can you be with Stupid as he gets some nice R&R?

1. Stupid loves the beach, but Hawaii is a long way away. Name a beach vacation destination in the United States other than the Hawaiian islands.

2. Stupid is part of the typical American family. Wife and 2.4 kids. Stupid is packing up the car to head on vacation. How long (as a time value, not distance) is Stupid willing to drive to get to his vacation spot?

3. Stupid is at his wit's end. The kids have had to go to the bathroom 14 times, he's listened to the Wheels on the Bus on repeat for a solid two hours, his wife is asleep and a bird just dropped a huge splat on his windshield. How much is Stupid willing to pay on a per ticket basis to fly to his next vacation?

4. Stupid's favorite movie is European Vacation. He loves the beginning where the Griswolds win the European vacation as a prize on Pig in a Poke. What game show might Stupid go on to win a European vacation today? (And yes, Russ, he's going to pork her.)

5. Stupid is whipped. He not only took his wife on a honeymoon, but then got suckered into taking her on a babymoon. Now she's convinced him to take a Staycation to get some things done around the house. What is Stupid's #1 item on the Honey-Do list?

6. Stupid has made it. He's sitting drinking his favorite cold beverage, in a rocking chair on the front porch of his beach house. What song plays quietly in the background?

The most truly beloved founding fathers hereby register an objection to the continued erosion of fawning adoration in the setup text.

On a semi-related note, can the next winner please turn over the Cheers/Night Court/Cosby question in the setup text?
