I'll post questions here and email them to the group. Make sure you don't reply to all if answering by email
For your own questions only, you may "cheat" and submit any answer you want

If I was actually involved in the playoff push, there's one of those acts that I would be likely to be a dick about the specificity of the answer (assuming that some folks are going to answer wrong, but will probably be given credit for).

But like I said. I don't really care. I'll leave it up to Ryan in this case.

If it's what I think you mean, then technically the same issue applies to another answer. 100% less likely to happen, but it's still the same thing.

Going to have to remember to do this from home, as the pictures are blocked at work. I would think others may have this problem as well.

I remember Cheds posting about this festival, but I can't remember any of the bands. Can I assume we are not allowed to search the threads?

I guess I theoretically have a chance at a wildcard, but this week's questions seem to me to be very difficult.

Was about to post a passive-aggressive remark to cheddah earlier before I recognized one of the photos. There are probably a few more whose names I've heard, but don't recognize the faces.

The Friends question is a good one, due to the lack of overlap between the movies they've made that were actually good and the ones that were financially successful.

For Brian's question, is it largest city by area or by population?

Largest city by population. So if City A of Country B is the capital and has 1,000,000 people the country would be a correct answer if the largest city of Country B has 3 million or more people.

Okay. Because it's possible for the largest city by area to have 2,000,000 more people than the capital but still not be the largest city by population.

Right, I get what you're asking. It's by population though.

ETA: And does NOT include population of the metro area also since we're clarifying. Only by the population of the specific cities.

See when I hear "largest city" I automatically think of area. I believe the term you guys were looking for is most populous. But hey, we already jumped the shark on that singular military operation BS so who gives a shit?

You are by yourself on this one, for real. No more than 1 out of 50 people would think this way when they read that question.

I bet when Jerloma hears "most yards" he argues yards per attempt or some shit.

That doesn't make sense. It didn't say "most people." Just "largest." When you hear "largest dick" do you think size or do you think the number of bacteria residing there?

Do you think length or do you think something weird like total volume? Because one is what people typically think of while the other is the true largest dick. Unless you want to compare apples and dicks, in which case keep on trucking.

Google "largest cities". Not a single hit on the first page has anything to do with area.

FB poll!
So far 60% pop, 40% area but unfortunately I have to throw out the Swampers answers for the obvious anti-J-lo bias going on in this place so we're currently at 100% area.
