In sheep, the goal is to think most like the group. For each question below, submit five unique answers. These answers will be collated and the more common your answer is, the more points you score.

For example: If the question is "Name a president of the US": I might submit "Nixon, Obama, Clinton, Polk, Kennedy". Samadhi might submit "Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Nixon, Bush Snr" - then we would both score 2 points for submitting Nixon, and 2 for submitting Kennedy. The 2 points are for the number of entries the same. The order is irrelevant.

Send your entries by PM.

Please write them in a comma delimited format, with 1 line per question.

I will combine misspellings. But I won't combine anything else. For example "Bush Snr" does not equal "Bush Senior". If I can, I will combine plurals - but I really do request that you send everything through in singular form. It makes my life very hard when an entry reads "Toy, Toys, Dog, Dogs, Udder" as if I have been merging "Toy" and "Toys" till then, I have go back through and split it all up again.
I reserve the right to combine descriptive terms. eg Big Red Brick and Large Red Brick are really the same thing - I'd prefer you entered just Brick. But these will be at my discretion if there really is no difference.


1. Name the most obscure country in the world.
2. Name a popular pizza topping.
3. Name something associated with a cube.
4. Name a letter that you might want to draw when playing scrabble.
5. Name something associated with a computer.
6. Name a vegetable that kids normally dislike.
7. Name a comedian whose movies suck more often than they don't.
8. Name something you specifically don't want to receive for Christmas.
9. Name a sport that does not include any kind of ball.
10 Name the most famous dinosaur.
11 Name something a monkey would really enjoy having or being around.
12 Name an occupation that would be considered high risk and dangerous.
13 Name something that would hurt you if you accidentally sat on it.
[REMEMBER to name 5 for each]

Please can I reiterate: Dont submit things in plural form unless thats the only way the term exists. I'm having to do a lot of editting on submissions that send things like "Pencils"

Good entries so far.

Oh, sorry. Do you want me to re-submit?

Or -- can I suggest a search and replace of ES to nothing and then S to nothing? It will change the spelling of Messy Mississippi to something funny, but it will make all the words and their plurals match. Extreme Delectation

I can see "pencil" work for two questions, three if you stretch it. I think I did pretty well avoiding plurals.

I hate Sheep (mostly dethy's Black Sheep, and mostly because I lose), but I'll submit soon since I received a special invitation from Amb. Revenge most foul!

Any deadline?

How can I name obscure countries? If they're truly obscure, I don't know about them.

I protest this game, and demand a new set of questions. That question is unanswerable!

Countries that begin with the letter W.
Species that live on Mars.
Colors you can only dream about.
Qualities of politicians.
Words that should always be plural.

THis might be the largest for the GL, but I ran a combined one with Mafia Scum to produce this: http://www.glpics.com/amb/AmbSheep/Sheep07_a.php some years back.

It wouldnt be likely we could reach 45 due to the fact that we havent the numbers on GL that we used to have.

It makes me realise that I miss Dented Ford!
