I take refuge in the fact that when Gene shared his answers to questions, they were almost uniformly turkeys. 🙂 ---

Looks like I will be managing this from my vaycay spot with my iPad, and the wifi from starbucks, or property manager’s office at the condo if he’s nice like last time! Expect delays. Waiting on one more panelist. Point of order–who’s supposed to go next? Is it KneadToKnow’s turn because he’s behind in the matches? 😕 ---

Good answer, good answer!! No one matched my filthy 70s style answer of choice: an honorable discharge! 😉 janis\_and\_c0: …his Gavel? (Sorry) Intergalactic Gladiator: Poked notfrommensa: STD’s Dolores Reborn: Spanked! Dr. Girlfriend - She didn’t get jail time, she got pregnant! Naughty judge… Hoopy Frood: a stiff fine! It’s a pitchers dual. Tied 1-1! Maus, you can end it with just one right match to this question. Panelists: “Newt Gingrich is a lock for the GOP nomination in Florida. Sure, he’s had like, a dozen affairs, but little do pundits know that one of them was with a/an \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_!” I realize there were no a/an on match game, but I don’t feel the need to unduly prejudice answers on this board! ---

Everyone but Dolores Reborn plays, I should have mentioned that before! I is a lousy MC. We’re ready for you, Maus! What is your answer? ---

Let me first say that I’m very, VERY disappointed at you all because no one picked my two primo answers: a manatee and an orange. 😃 Now that we have that out of the way, let’s look at the answers: Notfrommensa - Granny Janis\_and\_c0: Liberal/Democrat (MATCH!) Intergalactic Gladiator: Elephant Dolores Reborn: (Did not play, but said Democrat!) Hoopy Frood: AARP representative Dr. Girlfriend: a Disney Performer So by the whopping score of 2-1, Maus Magill is our winner! **Congratulations!!!** Someone else needs to host the next game. I think it’s safe to say my lacklustre writing was part of the reason for this pitcher’s duel! Any takers? KneadtoKnow needs another shot at playing this thing! ---

LOL. Thanks, **antonio107** , for hosting a game. I am indeed open to anyone else who is interested having a go at emcee duties. If no one has expressed interest by, say, 7 pm ET tomorrow, I’ll plan on putting the next game up thereafter. And congrats to **Maus Magill** for a game well played! ---

Well, I just realized that the answer I gave doesn’t make much sense with the “the” in the question. Oh well that’s what I get for misreading! 🙂 Confusion (Answer is appropriate then, eh? LOL) ---
