How big is that seat? I’m just asking because I’ve been eating a lot of nachos lately. ---

Sorry, **Intergalactic Gladiator** , I wasn’t ignoring you, I was measuring the seat. It is 1.87 Pinkwaters\* in diameter. \*Possibly the most arcane reference I have ever made on the SD. ---

Indeed! Haha! Let’s see what our panelists had to say: > [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#): > > closet > [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > bicycle > [@cmkeller](#): > > Horse There’s a match! > [@Hoopy Frood](#): > > horse Another match! > [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > tree > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > bicycle… it’s very fuel efficient… 🙂 Not a bad start there, **Maus**! So, we move to question B, which is for newcomer **Sparky812**. **Sparky** , I’ll post the question for our panelists to respond to, but don’t do anything until I post here again that all the panelists are in and you should post your answer. Cool? Cool. Panelists, please PM me now with your best response to this: > [@](#): > > You really can get lost in a great book. I was reading _No Country for Old Men_ on the plane, and the next thing I knew, I was in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. ---

Well, having everybody trapped in one room with little cups of vodka helped. We’re waiting on one panelist’s response. 🙂 Just hum the music to yourself, it helps the time pass. ---

No worries, Dr. G. Your replies are always worth waiting for. 😉 And yes, now all of our panelists have been heard from, so it’s time for \*\*Sparky812 \*\*to post your best answer to this: > [@](#): > > You really can get lost in a great book.

Well, that’s an excellent line of reasoning! Let’s see if our panelists followed it: > [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#): > > I was reading on the plane and next thing I knew > The plane had landed and I was in Timbuktu > [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > Texas > [@cmkeller](#): > > No-Man’s Land > [@Hoopy Frood](#): > > No country at all. > [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > Timbuktu > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > Mexico! So, no matches this time, I’m afraid. That means we go now to round 2, with our leader going first, that means **Maus Magill** is back on the hot seat. > [@](#): > > The critics have been pretty harsh with John Cusack’s new movie “The Raven.” Some have even suggested that he should consider acting \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Now, **cmkeller** and **Hoopy Frood** matched in round 1, so they lay out this round. Remaining panelists, please PM me now with your best response to the above. ---
