Instead of spending money to watch reality on cable TV, I’ll buy A WINDOW. ---

Larf! That’s an excellent idea, **cmkeller**! Let’s see if any of the panelists felt the same way: [del] **Maus Magill** : matched in round 1 **Dr. Girlfriend** : matched in round 1 **HardlySanguine** : that new pyramid scheme **notfrommensa** : matched in round 1 **Hoopy Frood** : porn **Yeticus Rex** : real life That leaves us with a tie! Hold tight while I double-check everything![/del] ---

No, it’s not a tie. Due to an error in my transcriptions, I had **Maus Magill** having matched in round 1 for **cmkeller** when in fact he did not. Now I need to figure out why both Maus and I thought he’d matched in round 1. This will probably result in a new round 2 question for **cmkeller**. ---

Okay, I’ve looked back through my PMs and I think I see where the problem occurred, so with luck I can prevent a similar problem from happening again. My apologies to all concerned. So, the fairest thing to do is to try again with a new question for **cmkeller**. The score is currently 3-2 in favor of **antonio107** , and **Dr. Girlfriend** and **notfrommensa** still lay out, having matched **cmkeller** in round 1.

I couldn’t be so lucky as to get caught up in a game show scandal. 😉 Besides which, that was Barry & Enright, _Match Game_ is a Goodson & Toddman production. ---

Hahaha! That’s an excellent answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say: **Maus Magill** : a little girl **Dr. Girlfriend** : matched in round 1 **HardlySanguine** : a voyeur, which after some consideration our judge says is not a match 😉 **notfrommensa** : matched in round 1 **Hoopy Frood** : a Wall Street banker **Yeticus Rex** : Barbara Streisand So I’m afraid that’s no matches in round 2 for **cmkeller** , which means our game ends with the score 3-2 in favor of **antonio107**! Congratulations to our new champion, **antonio107**! I’m going to take a 48-hour breather to recharge my question-writing batteries a little bit, so look for a new game to start Tuesday around 5 pm ET! ---

YUSSS! I WON! I was actually gonna say “Barbara Streissand,” if only because that damn Duck Sauce song is stuck in my head, lol. ---

Indeed you are, **Dolores** , and welcome aboard! You are contestant #1, in fact, and as I now have a full slate of answers from our panelists, it’s time now for you to share with us all your answer to this: > [@](#): > > The smart phones are really getting smart!

Oh, boo. I meant to say upgrade. ☹ ---

And the beauty of this way of playing the game is, I know that’s what you meant to say, because that’s what you did say originally when you PMed me. “Upgrade” is **Dolores Reborn** ’s answer, so let’s see what our panelists had to say: **notfrommensa** : buy a new phone, which our judge says is a match! **Maus Magill** : go to bed **cmkeller** : buy Apple stock **HardlySanguine** : get a new phone, another match! **Hoopy Frood** : sober up, which I will try not to take personally. 🙂 **Yeticus Rex** : walk in the 4G wonderland Well, our newcomer has done quite well for herself, scoring two points in round 1! Let’s see what round 1 has in store for our next player, longtime panelist who finally made it to the turntable as a contestant: **Dr. Girlfriend**! Please consider your reply while the panelists PM me their responses to this: > [@](#): > > Chuck Norris said, “The stories about me are getting completely nuts.

No worries, **Dr. Girlfriend**. Holidays are what they are. I probably should have postponed the game until after the weekend, but we’ll see how it goes. 🙂 ---
