Umm, no.

Shut up.

I can remember the _last_ time I scored though! No old-timer’s disease yet!

Okay, the week after the holiday is in full swing, and all the panelists have been heard from, so now it’s time for **Dr. Girlfriend** to give us her response to this:

> Chuck Norris said, “The stories about me are getting completely nuts. For the last time, I cannot slam a revolving door. I can however, cook a Thanksgiving meal merely by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.”

He can’t slam a revolving door, but Chuck Norris can cook his Thanksgiving dinner just by…

Staring at it!

An excellent answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

**notfrommensa** : kicking it

**Maus Magill** : glaring at it, which our judge says is a match!

**cmkeller** : staring at it , another match!

**HardlySanguine** : glaring at Emeril, so close, but not a match. ☹

**Hoopy Frood** : staring at it, another match!

**Yeticus Rex** : the fire in my eyes, which our judge, soaked in gravy and cranberry sauce, says is a match!

That’s 4 matches in round one for our first-time contestant! Wow!

So, with the score now 4-2, we go to round two: the first question goes to the leader, so **Dr. Girlfriend** , be thinking about your response while I ask **notfrommensa** and **HardlySanguine** , our unmatched panelists, to PM me now with their best answer to this:

> With only weeks to go before Christmas, Santa realized he was going to have to crack down on his lazier elves to make sure the toys got made in time. So warned them that if they missed their deadlines, he’s send them to work for \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.

It is indeed a good answer! Let’s see how our panelists did:

**cmkeller** : matched in round 1

**HardlySanguine** : Wal\*Mart, a match!

**Hoopy Frood** : matched in round 1

**Yeticus Rex** : matched in round 1  
That gives **Dr. Girlfriend** 5 points as we move on to **Dolores Reborn** ’s round two question. **Maus Magill** , **cmkeller** , **Hoopy Frood** , and **Yeticus Rex** , please PM me with your best response to this:

An excellent answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

**notfrommensa** : matched in round 1

**Maus Magill** : pink slips (Who knew that Dumb Donald was really Scrooge McDuck?)

**cmkeller** : eggs (Easter variety)

**HardlySanguine** : matched in round 1

**Hoopy Frood** : Valentine’s cards

**Yeticus Rex** : Easter eggs  
Aw, I’m afraid that’s no matches for **Dolores** , which means our game ends with a score of 5-2 in favor of **Dr. Girlfriend**!

Congratulations to our latest champion, Dr. Girlfriend!  
And now a word from our sponsors…
