Sorry for the multiple edits on the previous, was trying to make clear who should PM. Again, only **Dr. Girlfriend** and **antonio107** need answer this question. Others have already matched **janis\_and\_c0**. ---

You shouldn’t be sorry, I should be sorry for missing that you had replied! Well, I can say this, the way I play poker, it certainly counts as a Hunger Game. By which I mean to say, if I had to live off my poker skills, I’d sure as not go hungry. Let’s see what our panelists had to say: > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > Cooking! Isn’t The Hunger Games like the Olympics of cooking or something? 😃 > [@antonio107](#): > > Food! Alas, no matches there. Alright, the score is 3-nil, so it’s pull-it-out-of-the-fire time for **Maus Magill** , so here we go: everyone plays, so panelists, please PM me now with your best response to this: > [@](#): > > Buying a new PC with a 26" flatscreen monitor for my mom may have been a waste of money. She only uses it to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

Okay! All the panelists have put down their Marks-a-lot markers, so it’s time for **Maus Magill** to share with us his answer to this: > [@](#): > > Buying a new PC with a 26" flatscreen monitor for my mom may have been a waste of money. She only uses it to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

Haha! Oh, that’s such a great answer. Let’s see what our panelists had to say: > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > play solitaire (because that’s what my mom does!) Which, painfully, the judge says is not a match. > [@antonio107](#): > > Play Solitaire? Still not a match, I’m afraid. > [@cmkeller](#): > > listen to music > [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#): > > Getting that computer for mom sure was a wake up > 'Cuz all she uses it for is to apply her makeup > [@Yeticus Rex](#): > > Play Solitare. Ouch. Three close calls from the judge … and I see Richard Dawson is pitching a fit on your behalf, but it’s doing no good this time. The judge remains adamant that playing solitaire and playing Angry Birds constitute two different things, as playing baseball and playing football are. Which means **janis\_and\_c0** , with 3 points is our new champion! ---

Good game all around! Due to my plans for the weekend, I will be unable to host another game before Monday. If anyone is interested in being emcee for a go, I encourage you to step up to the microphone. ---
