For anyone who might be confused, **Yeticus** took the fifth panelist spot. I’ll ride out the weekend waiting for a sixth, then if need be we’ll proceed with five.

Okay, five panelists it is.

Contestant #1 is **Maus Magill** , and I ask him now to please share with us his answer to this:

It’s long round and hard. Some people like to put it in their mouth, and say it’s yummy.

It’s an egg roll, you pervs.

Indeed it is. And it’s excellent with a little hot mustard. Let’s see what the panelists had to say:

> [@Dr. Girlfriend](#):
>
> The first answer that popped into my head was
> 
> butt
> 
> since they usually don’t massage your butt… at least none of the spas I’ve been to do… :o

> [@antonio107](#):
>
> MASSEUSE feel terrific. 'Cause he made money…get it?

> [@cmkeller](#):
>
> masseuse’s wallet

> [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#):
>
> I have to go with “butt,” Bob.

> [@Yeticus Rex](#):
>
> Happy Ending

So, alas, despite excellent answers all around, no matches there for contestant #1.

Contestant #2 is **janis\_and\_c0** , who should be thinking while I ask our 5 panelists to PM me now with their best response to this:

> [@](#):
>
> Ed said, “We got a new puppy, and it’s really turned our house upside down. Why, everything my wife cooks now tastes like \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.”

The only thing that popped into my head was Robot Chicken’s Happy Ending Sketch. (The Happy Ending was a free egg roll.)

Good turnaround, gang! It’s now time for **janis\_and\_c0** to share with us her answer to this:

Haha! What an unpleasant breakfast that would be, too.

Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

> [@Dr. Girlfriend](#):
>
> Rawhide

> [@antonio107](#):
>
> Chinese food!

> [@cmkeller](#):
>
> dog food

The judge says that’s a match!

> [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#):
>
> My wife was a great cook and I don’t want to be rude  
> but now everything she makes tastes a lot like puppy food.

Dog food is dog food, says the judge, so that’s another match!

> [@Yeticus Rex](#):
>
> PUPPY CHOW

Even different brands are still dog food, so the judge says that’s another match!

Three matches for **janis\_and\_c0** in that round, wow!

Let’s turn our attention then to round 2. Leader goes first, so that’s you again, **janis**.

**Dr. Girlfriend** and **antonio107** , please PM me now with your best response to this:

> [@](#):
>
> That _Hunger Games_ movie was really something! Although I was disappointed not to see more \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
