Don’t worry about the quality of the answer. We’re full. The contestants and panel are: Contestant 1: **KneadToKnow** Contestant 2: **Dr. Girlfriend** Panel 1: Richard Dawson aka **etv78** Panel 2: **Dolores Reborn** Panel 3: **cmkeller** Panel 4: **janis\_and\_c0** Panel 5: **Intergalactic Gladiator** Panel 6: **notfrommensa** **KneadToKnow** , please post your answer to: > [@](#): > > Did you hear about Adele’s new single?

Well, and I say this knowing virtually nothing about the artist or her work, but having read a list of titles of her singles on Wikipedia, I suspect that in an attempt to be more upbeat she named it “Death.” 🙂 ---

Good answer. Here’s what our panel has to say: Richard Dawson aka **etv78** : Chasing Men **Dolores Reborn** : Flying in the Sky **cmkeller** : ROLLING ON THE FLOOR, LAUGHING **janis\_and\_c0** : Grammy Nipsy Russel doing an incredible **Intergalactic Gladiator** Impression: She wanted it catchy, an upbeat jingle So she named her tune “Adele’s New Upbeat Single.” **notfrommensa** : Someone Likes to Screw Great answers, all, despite the quality of the question. Who write this stuff? Unfortunately for **KneadToKnow** , there were no matches. Panel, **Dr. Girlfriend** , the next clue is: > [@](#): > > Grusome George is a bit of an odd duck. Last week he went by the Doctor’s to complain about his \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ hurting. ---

Good answer, **Dr. Girlfriend**. You said, [QUOTE=Dr. Girlfriend] He’s complaining because his artificial leg is hurting… [/QUOTE] Let’s see what the panelists had to say: [QUOTE=Richard Dawson aka etv78] Bill. [/QUOTE] As in duck bill - Confirmed via PM [QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Hair. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=cmkeller] hair [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=janis\_and\_c0] Hump (hunchback) [/QUOTE] I guess that’s why he’s so gruesome. [QUOTE=Nipsy Russel doing an incredible Intergalactic Gladiator Impression] Grusome George is a bit of a schnook He went to the doc to complain about his pocketbook [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=notfrommensa] Nose, aka (Ducks’s Bill) [/QUOTE] We had four matches, unfortunately, they were all among the panelists. The score currently stands: Contestant 1: **KneadToKnow** - 0 Matches Contestant 2: **Dr. Girlfriend** - 0 Matches So after round one, it’s a tie. We’ll return after this message from our sponsors. ---

Aaand we’re back. The score is zero-zero. I flipped a coin and **KneadToKnow** is up first.

My record keeping is flawless, but my memory is not. I have everyone’s (but Rebo’s) response on a notepad on my work desktop. I’ll update in the morning. ---

Aanndd we’re back. **KneadToKnow** turned his answer,Saturday. The Clue was: > [@](#): > > Brittany has really been talking up her basketball game. She says she’s great at it. I’m not so sure; she said her favorite position is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. He said: [QUOTE=KneadToKnow] Word on the street is that Brittany’s favorite position is cowgirl. [/QUOTE] Let’s see what the panel had to say: [QUOTE=Richard Dawson aka etv78] missionary [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Lay-up! [/QUOTE] This could go eitherway, but it’s a moot point. Sorry. [QUOTE=cmkeller] missionary [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=janis\_and\_c0] bench warmer [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Nipsy Russel doing an incredible Intergalactic Gladiator Impression] Brittany said she’s a good ball player - far ahead of the pack. She said her favorite postion is when she’s on her back [/QUOTE] Which sounds like missionary to me. [QUOTE=notfrommensa] Answer **Quarterback!** [/QUOTE] Unless “Cowgirl” is something that the kids are all saying nowadays, someone needs a dirtier mind. It’s still a pitchers’ battle as we go into Round 2 - Question 2 right after this word from Gleen Toothpaste. It makes a great gift. ---

> [@](#): > > Unless “Cowgirl” is something that the kids are all saying nowadays, someone needs a dirtier mind. His mind is dirty enough. “Cowgirl” is a position in the same category as “missionary”, it’s just the opposite partner positions. Think of Brittany as “riding”… ---

Checking the Urban Dictionary (which is difficult, since it’s blocked at work, and it didn’t show correctly in Opera for Android) confirms **cmkeller**. It seems I need to get out more. Since cowgirl is a different position position than missionary, and the ambiguity in **Rebo** ’s answer I going to confer with the judges. ---

Feh. I knew I should’ve gone with something less exotic. Brittany just seemed like more of a sport. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/match-game-anyone/593949.md?page=27) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/match-game-anyone/593949.md?page=29)
