Interesting that a president that is known for being unknown was so well not-known that he beat the next nearest unknown by a 3 to 1 margin.

And what's with being afraid of running out of gas in the South? Common y'all, it ain't all banjo music. We got us cities, 'lectric lights and even those new fangled cellular type phones without the cords on 'em.

I scored 220, with no zeroes.

I'm sure others scored higher. I could have but I was not trying for the most popular. In fact, I had the most popular only 3 times.



And I'm with jaybee. This is a great place to run out of gas. Gas is cheap, and Gomer and Gobber will even give you rides back to your car.

I just count the votes, I don't stand by them. There's certainly a stereotype many northerners have of southern cops being hostile to drivers with northern plates. (For the record, I combined several people who answered with specific southern states into the 'South' answer, just as I combined several specific 'bad neighborhood' answers into one. One of the hard things about doing a Family Feud is deciding what answers need to be grouped together.)

Consider the source. These same people thought Tennessee is a city.

Hey, I had a couple of people who thought the New York Nicks was the right answer to that question.

Not that we were keeping score, but I could not resist checking after seeing the post: I had 204 with a zero on Walter Winchell.

277, but I know that Mrs. Jaybee did better than I.

179 for me with a 0 (which I kind of expected) for Walter O' Malley, but he honestly was the first one I thought of
