Now _that_ is a first-class answer. It was, I daresay, the only answer that occurred to me when I heard the question. Let’s see how it fares with the panel: **HardlySanguine** : an erotica website **Hoopy Frood** : goatse.cx **Dr. Girlfriend** : [Playgirl.com](http://Playgirl.com) **antonio107** : The SDMB! 😛 , for a match! **Dolores Reborn** : Weird Al Yankovic’s fan page! **notfrommensa** : [www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com), which our dizzy judge declares to be another match. Which means this game has resulted in a TIE. More after these messages. ---

D’oh! :smack: I almost answered the Dope Message Board, but talked myself out of it at the last minute. Sorry 'bout that **Maus** … ---

Okay, making things fair now by randomly selecting who goes first in the tie-breaker round. ---

Okay, for all the good the random number generator did me, I could’ve skipped that step. You go first again, **cmkeller**. Tie breaker question, everyone plays! > [@](#): > > Denise felt a lot better after she switched her insurance to GEICO.

Well, there are two obvious choices, and I can only pick one, so I’ll go with…DERRIERE, and hope I don’t regret it. ---

A delectable answer, indeed! Let’s see how it matches up with our panelists: **HardlySanguine** : Oranges **Hoopy Frood** : assets, which due to a lack of any kind of lewd hints in the answer, the judge says must be taken literally and thus is no match **Dr. Girlfriend** : backside, which is a match! **antonio107** : Butt, which is another match! **Dolores Reborn** : wallet, which may be close, but only spatially. **notfrommensa** : Boobs, which I was shocked did not appear more frequently! So, that’s 2 matches in the tie-breaker for **cmkeller**! We move now to **Maus Magill** ’s tie-breaker question. Everyone plays! > [@](#): > > A yard full of holiday decorations can really drive your electric bill through the roof.

I was thinking “money maker.” Probably too broad to be a match, but it made me snicker internally. Edit: I do like “assets” as an answer. Heh. ---

If there’d been so much as a 😉 with it, I’d have taken “assets” as a double entendre. As it was, I couldn’t justify making the leap. ---

> [@KneadToKnow](#): > > If there’d been so much as a 😉 with it, I’d have taken “assets” as a double entendre. As it was, I couldn’t justify making the leap. The Judge is obviously not in the Xmas spirit. Cuz I would have ruled it a match. I smell a “fix”. :eek: We need full financial disclosure!! ---

FTR, I thought the double entendre of assets was so obvious that I didn’t need to point it out in my answer. But judges’ decisions final and all that… (Besides, mine was the only double-entendre answer, so you could argue by its very nature of the meaning being intentionally ambiguous that it isn’t an actual match except with another double-entendre answer.) ---
