Fantastic! Now, let’s see what the panelists had to say: **HardlySanguine** : sing **Hoopy Frood** : cross-dress as Anne Hathaway and co-host **Dr. Girlfriend** : cut off his arm for the broadcast **antonio107** : direct **Dolores Reborn** : give him pointers **notfrommensa** : be marvelous, simply marvelous Aww. So, no matches in round 1 for **cmkeller** , I’m afraid. Some really great answers, I thought, but it’s the matching that counts! Let’s turn now to **Maus Magill** ’s question for round 1. Everybody plays! **Maus** , be thinking about your reply; panelists, please PM me now with your best response to this: > [@](#): > > It finally got cold where I live. Even the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_s have broken out their winter coats. ---

I know that in my office, there are penguins who complain about the cold. I’m going to have to go with: Penguins. ---

Of course, you’ll have to pronounce it like “Pen-goo-wins” as in “Pen-goo-wins is almost chicken.” ---

🙂 I’ll take your word for that! At any rate, it is a fine answer! Let’s see what our panelists came up with: **HardlySanguine** : yetis **Hoopy Frood** : polar bears **Dr. Girlfriend** : snowmen **antonio107** : snowmen **Dolores Reborn** : minks **notfrommensa** : chinchillas Wow, that’s sad news for **Maus Magill**. So for the first time in my memory, we go to round two with the score 0-0. It’s a pitcher’s duel! Alright, since there is no leader, we’ll do this in the same order as the first round, so this question is for **cmkeller** to consider as I ask all panelists to PM me now with their best answer: > [@](#): > > This time of year it can be really hard to stick to a diet. What someone needs to do is to invent a fat-free, low-carb \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

Ah, what a delightful (and tasty) answer! Let’s see how it fares with our panelists: **HardlySanguine** : eggnog, there’s a match! **Hoopy Frood** : Egg Nog , and another! **Dr. Girlfriend** : Cheesecake **antonio107** : Cooking Lard **Dolores Reborn** : pie **notfrommensa** : Great tasting chocolate candy bar Very well, then, we finally have some matches going on! The score is now 2-0, in favor of **cmkeller** , as we proceed to **Maus Magill** ’s round two question. **Maus** , please direct your thoughts towards this, as I ask the panelists to PM me with their best responses: > [@](#): > > Weird Willy is really weird!
