IWS #229 - On the road again!
Responses due by 7 AM, Monday October 20th
The Rules The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game's, and indeed our very community's, most cherished and beloved progenitors and inspirational leaders, and also QuikSand. May we never lose our commitment to reverently speak their names and heartily toast their greatness. 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. For the mathematically challenged, product means they are 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. There are no prizes other than everlasting glory and total consciousness on your deathbed, so the need to cheat shouldn't be an issue. All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring even the most trivial degree of 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 utterly inarguable, no exceptions. I summarily reject any suggestion of this structure as evidence of any personal character flaw. 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 best game on FOFC?" and you answer "Werewolf" along with 9 other people, you each score 10 points, even though the correct answer is "I'm With Stupid." ***************************
Spoiler
IWS #229 Stupid and his wife love to take vacations to get away from reality for a few days. 1. How many hours would it take to travel from Chicago to Orlando by car, assuming safe highway speeds, an overnight stay and a few food and restroom breaks? 2. Stupid decided to rent a vehicle for him and Mrs. Stupid to drive down to Florida. What super cool ride did they request? 3. Stupid took a look at the map and found out the hotel that they booked for their overnight stay is right next to one of the biggest tourist stops in the area. What tourist trap did Stupid insist they visit before they got back on the road? 4. We all know Sammy Hagar couldn't drive 55... neither can Stupid. What cruising speed does Stupid like to travel at while on the open road with no traffic (or police cars) around? 5. What is the most iconic highway drive in the continental US? 6. What is the best movie of all time featuring road trips and/or highway driving? = = = = = There you have it. PM your responses to me, with something sufficiently clear in the title. Contest closes 7 AM Central, Monday, October 20th. Please help with the "snet" and other suitably amusing response-bumps to help keep the contest in mind.

I don't always play IWS, but when I do, I do not win.

Hope to get this out in the next day or 2... We will see if it happens. I was called out to some emergency meetings in Peoria, Detroit and Muncie so I am busy with travel but I might be able to sneak the tally in..
