248 with 4 # 1's for Mrs. Jaybee (first time I've won!)


Name something that Canada is known for. What! No Saucy or Ellen?

Counting in my head, I got 254 with four number one's (Escargot, Will Smith, Friday the Thirteenth, and Gymnastics). But I got several number two's (Perry Mason, Rome, VCR, Social Security, La Boheme) with only two solo answers (Canadian whiskey and drunk exercise)...

I must say, I enjoy the solo fencing, but it just seems like a waste of time to wait for each biathlon/marathon competitor to finish before the next one can start.

I don't remember the answers that I gave. I accidentally deleted my copy of my e-mail.

But I have to admit that I almost answered "Canadians" to the question of something that Canada is famous for. It's a salute to one of the most famous dumb answers in "Family Feud" history. The episode where Richard Dawson asked "Name something that Russia is famous for" and the contestant answered "Russians".
