I'm With Stupid : Redux
Since no-one started a new game yet, I'll take it upon myself to host the next round of "I'm with Stupid".

Rules are the same as last time. Send your answers by this Sunday to my private message box at Apolyton and I will tabulate and post the results.

Question 1 : What is the worst big budget, big hype blockbuster movie of the last 5 years ?
-------------------------------------------------------
Questions 2 - 4 : You have spent the last two weeks enjoying yourself on the annual Off-Topic cruise from Thessaloniki, Greece to Brampton, Canada. About 2 days away from Newfoundland the yacht hits an iceberg and quickly begins to sink. It becomes really obvious that there won't be enough room in the lifeboat for all of the off topic contributors on the cruise.

Question 2 - Who from off-topic is the most likely to say, "You all go save yourselves - I'll go down with the ship."?

Question 3 - Who is most likely to say, "You go down with the ship - I must survive at all costs." ?

Question 4 - Who is most likely to say, "Hey, don't worry about this little problem. I'll swim to shore and get help ! " ?
-----------------------------------------------------
Question 5 - What is the most boring sport in the world to watch ?
-----------------------------------------------------
Question 6 - On what continent is Mingapulco located ?
-----------------------------------------------------
Question 7 - Who is currently the world's smartest national leader ?


Hopefully, like last time, we'll have a bout 40 participants.

Have Fun !!!

Rules ?

The Rules -

Send me what you believe will be the OT popular answer to each of the questions.

Each vote for a specific answer to each question will count as one point.

For example : Last game one of the questions was Off Topic needs more posters from which European country.

6 people said Finland. Everyone of the ones who said Finland received 6 points.
1 person said Slovenia. That person received 1 point.

So obviously the "correct" answer was Finland, not Slovenia.

In this game, if 10 people say that The Wizard of Oz was the "worst big budget, big hype blockbuster movie of the last 5 years " , even though The Wizard of Oz doesn't really fit the criteria, it would still be worth 10 points to those who voted for it !

So JohnT - please clarify your vote.

Ahhh. We're playing "Family Feud" then. I thought so, but I added a twist to the rules...

To clarify my answers, take the one called "Apolyton Answer" as my responses and discard the other.

The girl/guy ratio is quite fearsome though
