Yes! I think we should!

**KneadToKnow** , I’ve pretty much learned as much law as I’m going to, so school’s gotten easy again. If you want me to MC a game so you can play, I can do that! 🙂

Grreeeeeat!

New Game starting right now!

Waiting for the first EIGHT people who answer the question, first two become contestants.

“Did you hear that Larry Flynt bought his own Subway Sandwich franchise last month? I bought a footlong there and it was terrible. They skimped on the tomatoes, and it was completely covered in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.”

aaaaaand…Go! 😃

You were not! Nor was **notfrommensa** , who rounds off as our sixth panelist.

A reminder to all playing parties to please subscribe to this thread. It slowed down today because I was not computer adjacent. It was actually quite lovely. 😃

Maius Magill, give us your answer to this…

I’m going for the low hanging fruit:  
“Special Sauce”

</div>

Good answer! Though I remind you, Special Sauce is typically found at a McDonald’s, while this, in fact, was a Subway, lol.

What did our panelists say?

janis\_and\_c0: Mayo! (After much discussion, our judges decided that Mayo and special sauce were not, in fact, the same seminal sandwich spread)

Hoopy Frood: Semen (gross)

Dr. Girlfriend: what I hope was mayonnaise…(I hope so too!)

Dolores Reborn: Sauce. (Our judges are feeling generous, and decided that any sauce vigorously shaken on by a porn king’s minions are, in fact, Special!)

Intergalactic Gladiator: Mayonaise

notfrommensa: Whipped Cream!

So the score is 1-0 Maus after one try. Panelists, KneadToKnow needs your answers to this question:

“Antonio108 (no relation) said, ‘I just paid 2,700 dollars for a new stainless steel fridge! Good Lord. At that price, it should come included with \_\_\_\_\_\_.’”

Sometimes the low hanging fruit is the best kind.

I fixed the question in order to make it more grammatically correct. However, I don’t think that it will impact either of the two answers I’ve gotten back so far. Four more to go! 🙂

Good answers so far. Keep 'em coming!

(I’m going on vacation on Saturday, and so there’s a sliiiight chance I won’t have internet access. Would any non-contestants, non-panelists be amenable to hosting round 2 should we take that long?)

Gene Rayburn would never put up with this stalling. Time to bring out the whip **Antonio107**.

Are you PMing people when it’s their time to respond, **antonio**? I found my lag times went way down when I started doing that.

I really thought I had sent a response. I blame boyfriend’s netbook. It’s quirky… Sorry for the delay!

I did send a response. On Sunday. So I blame antonio107’s eyes.

Ocular discrimination is such an ugly thing. But yes. It seems like you’re right. Apologies to you and Dr. Girlfriend. ☹

KneadToKnow! This one’s on you! Give us your answer to this:

Antonio108 (no relation) said, ‘I just paid 2,700 dollars for a new stainless steel fridge! Good Lord. At that price, it should come with \_\_\_\_\_\_ included!’

pssssst, (i hope this is not considered cheating :eek:)

**KtK** : I don’t think “Detached Retina” is good answer, even considering **Antonio107** ’s ocular discrimination

Oy. Lacking a better logical answer, I’m going with wordplay:

Stains.

That’s a good answer, KneadToKnow!

Here’s what our panel said:

Intergalactic Gladiator: An oven!

Notfrommensa: BEER! (Precisely what [DEL]I was[/DEL]Antonio108 was thinking of!)

Dolores Reborn: Food!

janis\_and\_c0: PBR tap (Yes! But [DEL]I’m[/DEL] he’s more of a Miller High Life kinda guy.)

Hoopy Frood: Kobe Steaks

Dr. Girlfriend: Beer

Sadly, K, your stainless steel fridge has netted a big fat donut thus far! ☹

\*\*Here’s your round two question. Panelists, if you’d please!

Lindsay Lohan was in court for yet ANOTHER DUI last week, and she was all out of strikes. She’s tried community service. She’s tried pleading insanity. This time, she tried sitting on the judge’s lap! Instead of jail time, she got \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.\*\*
