I'm With Stupid #159: All About Aardvarks!

Karlifornia · 03-12-2009, 01:43 AM

Butter_Of_69, Cringer, Lurker, and I, Karl, now present to you the IWS you've all been waiting for. The one that broaches an always hot topic on the FOFC boards: Aardvarks

*******************************************************

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 name of a great rock band?" and you and four other people responded "Rush" you each get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer.

When it comes to scoring the answers, I am judge, jury, and executioner. Get your crying done in another thread, because I will not listen to it!

********************************************************

Welcome to IWS #159. Here's what we know about aardvarks: They're the first animals in the dictionary. Of course, everyone knows that they belong to the order of Tubulidentata. Now we're going to find what stupid knows about the worlds most celebrated animal: The aardvark!

1. Name a job someone with a math major would have.

2. Name a fictional character who's good at math.

3. Who will win the American League pennant in 2009?

4. Who will win the National League pennant in 2009?

5. Name a popular side dish at a barbecue.

6. Name a band where the guys looked more like girls.

PM your answers to me, Karlifornia, by 9 PM PST, Wednesday, March 18th, 2009.

If you have any questions about anything, post in this thread. If you don't have any questions, also post in this thread. Maybe we could all hang out here for a while.

Anyways, have fun, send in your guesses, and remember to hum our favorite song as inspiration:

"I really love my family,
and my friends I adore.
But when I think about it,
I like aadvarks more.

Anteaters are passe,
and shrews have jumped the shark,
it don't get any better
than the friendly ol' aardvark!"

Just wanted to apologize to everyone about the questions. I had a list of wonderful Aardvark questions prepared, but I was driving in St. Cronin's miata with the top down, and the paper with the questions on it blew away. So, we did the best we could with the replacement questions.

27 entries so far. Good job, folks! Keep 'em coming. Most everyone could still be a winner, with a lot of close totals.
