Oh, dear, sweet Geoff. You should have seen me about a month ago. My artichoe plant had one large and two smaller beautiful artichokes ready. I had been looking forward to cutting them and eating them for dinner. I carefully chose the day when they were at their peak. I drove to the comm. garden. I unfolded my garden knife. I cut off hte big one.

And a million fucking earwigs came running out of my motherfucking dinner!!!!! I swore a blue streak (tho I suppose it was the earwigs yelling “I’m fucking in here”) and cut down the entire 5 foot plant with only my small garden knife. I stepped on that motherfucker until it was little more than a stump in the ground.

And like a zombie, it still lives. Fucking bitch-plant.

True story.

“Military” is not a job, “soldier” is. I’m with you Tim – I bet that they don’t allow non-answers like “turtles” or “fuck” – surely they should either require answers to be jobs or put them within a category (as I’m sure they’ve done.. really, all those people said “military” and not soldier, sailor or similar?) and accept the individual answers as a pick of that whole category.

@Melanie: haha, I would love to see someone get “Andy-I’m-Fucking-In-Here” pissed at a vegetable garden. If you ever do, I hope someone is filming you! (I’m not being facetious, I’d really like to see that)

Hey man, Gino would know!

And as for FarmVille, I can quit anytime. I also know not to expect real food from it, and that if the game glitches and I lose something, it’s just a fucking Facebook game.

On the other hand, if I lose a crop on my real-life veggie garden plot, I get real pissed off. Tim-pissed. Andy-I’m-Fucking-In-Here pissed.

Well Soldier means Army,
Airmen is for Air Force,
Sailor is for Navy,
And Marines are called Marines!

That’s still not as bad as when I was doing “sauces you wouldn’t put on ice cream” and it had both “Tabasco” and “Hot sauce” on the board.

The thing is, Family Feud constantly gives me the “already answered” notice when I put in things that are different from what I answered. For instance, when I put in “restaurant’ it said I’d already given that answer. Fast food and restaurants are not the same thing. But the game was programed to give you the point for “fast food” if you said “restaurants.” So I don’t think it’s illogical to think that the same consideration should have been made for “soldier.”

So there!

Sorry Tim, but on this one and the one you talked about on the show, I have to agree with the game. It really is all just semantics.

If your point is simply that “soldier” would count on the real show, then yes, I’m with you.

If you’re saying that facebook family feud should count it, I’ve got some bad news for you. Videogame versions of TV game shows are almost universally inferior. There’s just no way to accurately re-create the experience without including other human beings. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re never going to be satisfied.

Also (no offense to the farmville fanatics out there) it’s a fucking facebook game, dude. You don’t go to burger king for caviar, right?
