IWS #211 (the return)

albionmoonlight · 03-01-2014, 01:36 PM

So it turns out that I won the last IWS. And I missed that. And it was bumped, and I missed that. So, yeah, that's all on me. So, with no further inexcusable delay, here we go:

IWS Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC "I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s benevolent and forgiving 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 "Who makes the best BBQ?" and you join 4 other misguided souls in answering "Kansas City" then you get your 5 points even if the technically correct answer is "Carolina."

Please PM all responses to albionmoonlight and put IWS 211 in the title. I plan on closing this at 11:59 PM on Wedensday, March 5th and posting results on Thursday, March 6th.

I was just talking to my wife the other day about what it would be like if a person were born with no taste buds and now I know.
