    The point of the game is pretty simple. In a PM to me, answer each of the 10 questions below.


    Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. You don't want a unique answer, you have to answer with what you think everyone else will put.


    If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!



    Write your answers like this...
    Do not repeat the questions, no full-stops at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.



    JUST LIKE THIS:

    1. Dr Maria O' Brien
    2. Kathy Wells
    3. XXXX
    Those who don't reply like this will be ignored.

    1. Name a popular name for a dog.
    2. Name a popular name for a cat.
    3. Name a type of pet that is a rodent.
    4. Name a type of "exotic" pet.
    5. Name a breed of terrier.
    6. Name a flavour of cat food.
    7. Name a breed of dog that is known for being 'good' with children.
    8. Name a pet that lives in an empty aquarium (without water, i.e. not fish!).
    9. Other than "Sit," name a command for a dog.
    10. Other than "parrot," name a type of pet bird.
    Those who don't reply like this will be ignored.


    The game will end when we have 40 entrants or after 5 days, whichever comes first.

    Results on their way.

    I decided that rather than exclude posters who didn't follow the correct format (as it does change who wins/loses) I'd just list the offenders but won't include their replies next time should they not change their ways :)

    It basically comes down to the little tool I use to add up the scores. When people put full stops at the end of their replies or forget the space between the 1. and the actual answer then it adds a little time to reformat them first. When several people all do this then it adds a lot of time :)


    So can these kind folks please take more care for next time.....?

    6. Rabbit 3
    6. Salmon 4

    9. fetch 5
    9. Heel 1
    9. Paw 3
    9. Roll Over 11
    9. Wait 2

    I wonder how many dog owners here have actually trained their dog? I don't know if 'down' is even a command or not?

    10. Budgie 30
    10. Canary 10
    10. Cockatoo 1
    10. Hawk 1
    10. Lovebird 2

    i was gonna say pitbull, they were bred to protect families, but some sick bar stewards thought it would be fun to watch them rip each other apart

    i didnt go for it because of the commen misconception that they are a visious animal. like any dog they need to be raised by the right type of person, just a shame most people would rather use them for fighting
