Over 100 fans of the podcast Contra Krugman, which rebuts arguments made by the New York Times columnist and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, went on a seven-day cruise, Bloomberg's Lizzie O'Leary reported. <\/p>\n
The cruise took place on Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Solstice ship and reportedly featured seminars, debates, and games centered around libertarianism. The games included libertarian-themed versions of Pictionary and Family Feud, according to Bloomberg's report. <\/p>\n

At one point, a passenger reportedly performed an interpolation of the Linda Ronstadt song \"You're No Good\" titled, \"Krugman, You're So Wrong.\" <\/p>\n
O'Leary recounts the following exchange during a round of libertarian-themed Family Feud. <\/p>\n
\"Name something,\" he said into the microphone, \"you associate with California.\" <\/p>\n
\"Taxes!\" shouted one of the contestants. Ding, ding, ding! On to the second contestant. <\/p>\n
\"Nuts and flakes!\" <\/p>\n
Wrong, though \"insanity\" later appeared on the board. Other correct answers: \"bad for business,\" \"communism,\" and \"marijuana.\" <\/p>\n
Another question: \"If Paul Krugman retires, who should Bob and Tom refute?\" <\/p>\n
\"Alexandra something!\" <\/p>\n
Krugman has been a columnist for The New York Times since 1999 and won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2008 for his work on international trade and economic geography. <\/p>\n
