New Match Game. New Thread. I will take the first eight entries. The first two people who PM me will be the contestants, and the remaining six will be the panel. Points are awarded for matches. (Obviously) Panelists who matched on an earlier round do not have to answer again for the same contestant. The rounds will proceed as follows: Round 1 - Contestant 1 answers (Using the answer PMed me.) Round 2 - Contestant 2 answers Round 3 - Whichever contestant has the higher score answers. Round 4 - The other contestant answers. Winner gets bragging rights. Please PM me with your best response to: > [@](#): > > Didja hear? Lady Gaga is writing a song about the Miami face eater. She’s calling it “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ This Way.” ---

I’ve got the contestant spots filled. I’m now looking for the panel. Who’s going to be Richard Dawson? ---

I can blame you all for not wanting to be Richard Dawson. How about Gary Burghoff (but without the whining.) I have three more spots to fill. ---

You have my sympathies, **Maus**! Rounding up participants has always been the hardest part of running the game. 🙂 ---

And unfortunately, I’m going on vacation next week, and spreadsheets don’t work too well on smartphones. I’ll give it another when I get back. ---

I’d offer to take over in your stead, but that would just cause other problems. 🙂 ---

You guys use spreadsheets? I kept the responses on a sticky note widget on my android phone. 😃 ---

> [@antonio107](#): > > You guys use spreadsheets? I kept the responses on a sticky note widget on my android phone. 😃 Larf! I use a spreadsheet I keep in Google Docs. It helps to ensure that I don’t ever make the mistake of trying to work from my phone again. 🙂
