IWS #127 Results

[panerd]

1. Which type of civil servant do you hold in the highest regard?

Fireman- 11
Police officer – 6
Teacher- 2
Mailman – 1
Judge- 1
President – 1
Espionage related –1

I had trouble deciding whether to loop the last two together as one answer.

2. If you had to take one golf club out of your bag which would it be? (To clarify: A club that you won't be able to use)

5 wood – 3
3 iron – 3
2 iron – 3
pitching wedge – 2
4 iron – 2
1 iron – 2
sand wedge – 2
driver - 1
9 iron – 1
5 iron – 1
3 wood – 1
fairway wood – 1

I have a friend that subscribes to the no driver approach, except that he isn’t very good. I thought sand wedge seemed the most reasonable. Wasn’t sure if I should group fairway wedge but it didn’t appear to effect the outcome so I kept it separate.

3. Name a famous bearded person.

Abe Lincoln – 10
Santa Claus – 3
Chuck Norris – 2
Jesus – 2
Osama Bin Laden – 2
Aristotle – 1
Colonel Sanders – 1
Sean Connery – 1
Steven Spielberg – 1

I honestly thought Santa Claus was the answer. Good guess to the two who put Chuck Norris, no roundhouses for you.

4. Who will win the 2007 (yes, next year’s) Super Bowl?

Indy – 11
Cincinnati – 5
New England – 5
Miami – 1
Pittsburgh – 1

Glad to see the love my Bengals are getting. Obviously most of these answers were submitted before Palmer got his knee taken out.

5. Who is the most irritating ESPN personality?

Stu Scott – 16
Steven A. Smith – 3
Dick Vitale – 2
Lee Corso – 1
Jim Rome –1

I will watch Stu Scott on every ESPN show if I never have to see Steven A. Smith again. A side question: Is the FOFC racist?

6. Which would be the most entertaining FOFC related experience…

Attending a Billy Joel concert with Quiksand – 8
Going to a nightclub with Hornsmaniac – 6
Brokeback mountain with Bubba – 4
Anti-war/Tim Robbins & JIMGA – 4
Gun Rally with Cam Edwards – 1

Even though they all would be fun, the nightclub would be the experience of a lifetime. My guess is most of the 15 that didn’t pick the nightclub never got to experience the Hornsmaniac reign of fun a few years ago.

[timmae]

5 and 6 killed... I mean KILLED me... I guess I should be happy that I have no clue who Stu Scott is!!

[st.cronin]

I was worried about Chuck Norris, but had no idea what the right answer was. My second pick would have been somebody like Paul Bunyan. Anyway, even after the layoff, I still suck at IWS.

[SnDvls]

wow my second ever IWS and I placed 4th...from a third from last to 4th...I think I'll retire now

[MIJB#19]

I need to tell Sean Connery what he did to me here...

[JeeberD]

I think I might have tied for first if I had entered it. Damn my busy weekends...

[albionmoonlight]

#6 was the one that had me worried. I had no idea, so I just answered honestly. Dry sarcasm is one of my favorite types of comedy.

I'll have a new one up in a day or two.

[Passacaglia]

What the? Do you guys know ANYTHING?!?!

I had to google this one as I have no idea who all the listed names are. I don't even know what Scott looks like.

I've been around long enough to not even concider that option.
I went with the true IWS spirit and picked the first listed option.

And why did I take Sean Connery over Abraham Lincoln? Well, probably because I don't see Lincoln pictures on a weekly, let alone daily base. Santa Claus didn't fit into the perspective of this answers at all to me (still doesn't.) Connery was coming to mind first and I should have known he'd never have been the correct answer...
