IWS#152 - Halloween - RESULTS UP!!!

kingfc22 · 10-28-2007, 02:46 AM

It is that time of year for the usual Halloween IWS.

Submissions due by Thursday, November 1st.

1. What costume will you be wearing this year?
2. What costume do you want your significant other to wear?
3. What is the best candy to receive?
4. What is the worst candy to receive?
5. What time do you start trick-or-treating?
6. What is the best song to play for Halloween?

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."
