Hmm, not sure you're doing it right, husker -- I got 129 for keyword "dogs" and author "Setanta." That's Grand Duke's rules, I think. (Words uttered by a specific person.)

I re-read Grand Duke's original post and I think I misread. Carry on! :-)

I must be doing something wrong. I typed in "midget homosexual necrophilia sex" and "Slappy Doo Hoo" and only came up with 11,345 matches.

Surely there must be more than that.

Wow! I couldn't get back on last night after the pub, came back tonight, and you've all been really busy. I can see I'm going to have double check some of the top scores, and the league table might have to be restricted to a top 30 perhaps, for reasons of space. Give me a little time and I'll update the league.

Sorry mate, but the judge's (me) ruling is that "make" doesn't qualify!

Sorry Husker & Sozobe for writing vague rules. You should go to the search page, put (eg.) "dogs" in the top box (keywords) then (eg.) Setanta in the lower box (author). If you make sure that the 'return type' option is set to "posts" and not "topics", as you get more better scores with "posts"! I'll re-search your choices and put them in the league for you.

****-the-bed! I have to work overtime occasionally but 2am on a Sunday morning is some serious hardcore overtime. Respect.

I've not seen any entries for you in my little game, G. Go on, you know you want to...!

Thanks Grand Duke! I wrote just that and then upon re-reading your OP I said err umm maybe not and edited.

That's what I've been doing.

G - you are one hard workin' fella. You'll have to steal some stationery to make up for it!

Soz - sorry for general confusion!. One of the rules I made up halfway through, which confused some folks, and then I was AWOL for a day which didn't help either. Although I have massive respect for mac11 and the Lightwizard/film entry, all Brits love a challenger so see if you can top the chart!

Right, the league is up to date, and mac11 is still at the top by a long way, I've somehow managed to hold on to 2nd sopt, but newcomer Col-Man has hit the charts with a vengeance. All good stuff.

Thanks to all who've played so far, please please please carry on with your guessing! And anyone who hasn't yet played, go on, you know it makes sense!

No-ones playing any more. I guess mac11's score is unbeatable. Someone, please?
