Yes, but I liked my answer for round one better. ---

Question #1 reminds me of a CNN human interest story from years ago. Dewalt tools was having a contest on who could do some basic carpentry skills the fastest, like using a electric screwdriver etc. The guy that won the contest was asked by the anchorman how often the winner practiced “screwing”. ---

Well, well. In the immortal words of Will Smith, “Now, _this_ is what I’m talkin’ 'bout.” All our panelists have responded, so I now call on contestant #2, **Maus Magill** , to share with us his response to this: > [@](#): > > I don’t know why that strip club has a buffet. The only thing I’m ever in the mood to eat when I’m there is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

(crowd goes wild) Oh my! That’s quite an answer you’ve come up with there, **Maus**! Let’s see what our panelists had to say: > [@](#): > > I don’t know why that strip club has a buffet. The only thing I’m ever in the mood to eat when I’m there is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. **antonio107** : fish **Yeticus Rex** : melons, which is a match! **Dr. Girlfriend** : pussy (easily the naughtiest answer we’ve had yet!) **Hoopy Frood** : melons, another match! **MeanOldLady** : rump roast **cmkeller** : the girls So, that answer did very well for you, **Maus Magill**! You now have 2 points and the lead! Let’s go ahead and utilize this momentum we’ve got and roll right into round two! This question is for our leader, **Maus Magill** , so **Yeticus Rex** and **Hoopy Frood** lay out, as you have already matched! Remaining panelists, please PM me your response to this: > [@](#): > > Dumb Dora is so dumb! This Hallowe’en, she’s planning to give out \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to the trick-or-treaters. ---

First I LOL’d at fish, and then I saw pussy and died. You can’t go there! Keep it PG, PG-13 at its edgiest! ---

My first instinct was for fish tacos, but I wanted to keep it (somewhat) clean ---

I’m not going to put an artificial ratings cap on the game, because I’m just not that way. Also, I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable about anything they’ve posted. I’m happy for this version of the game to find it’s own level as far as appropriateness of language and adult situations goes. 🙂 I do think that what most people love about _Match Game_ is it’s ability to suggestively dance right up to the line without crossing over into working blue. Of course, the show was a sensation in the Nixon administration for daring to use risque words like “boobs” which seem absurdly tame by today’s standards. _C’est la vie._ ---

Oh no, I didn’t mean to suggest we should censor our answers in some attempt to mirror the real show as closely as possible. I just thought it was hilarious because in comparison to the show, the response was so… raw. ---

A marvelous answer! Let’s see what our panelists said: **antonio107** : Tricks! She’s a magic aficionado! …or a slut. Either or. And that’s a match! **Yeticus Rex** : matched in round 1 **Dr. Girlfriend** : Rocks… you know… like Charlie Brown gets…? **Hoopy Frood** : matched in round 1 **MeanOldLady** : advice **cmkeller** : Jack O’Lanterns You know, no one answered the only answer that even occurred to me, and that was “eggs”! That’s why I love this game so much! So, with another match for **Maus Magill** , the score is now 3-0, and we turn now to this question for **HardlySanguine** : > [@](#): > > Lois Lane and Jimmy Olson were talking when Lois said, “Have you ever noticed that Clark Kent really has a super \_\_\_\_\_\_\_?” **HardlySanguine** got no matches in round 1, so everybody plays! Panelists, please PM me now with your response. ---
