A good answer indeed, and the one I would have given had it been me. Let’s see what the panelists had to say: > [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#): > > Tough one. > The critic didn’t like “The Raven” he said it was a mess > And then he suggested that Cusack should act less > [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > lessons? > [@cmkeller](#): > > matched in round 1 > [@Hoopy Frood](#): > > matched in round 1 > [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > To quoth the Raven.. Nevermore! A match! > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > lessons? Ouch… :o So, that’s another match for **Maus Magill** in round 2, taking our score to 3-0. Our final question is **Sparky812** ’s chance to make it happen. Everyone plays, so panelists, please PM me now with your best response to this: > [@](#): > > “Love thy neighbor” is a very good policy. Provided your \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ doesn’t find out about it. ---

Okay, the panelists are all in! **Sparky812** , it’s time for you to post for all to see your best response to this: > [@](#): > > “Love thy neighbor” is a very good policy. Provided your \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ doesn’t find out about it. ---

OK, I’ll go with the obvious answer …Spouse. /keeps fingers crossed. ---

Oh, no! Not the obvious answer! Well, we’ll have to see how that strategy worked for you: > [@Intergalactic Gladiator](#): > > I had a good time until it ruined my life > All because I loved my neighbor instead of my wife > > (wife) The judge says that’s a match! > [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > Spouse! Another match! > [@cmkeller](#): > > Spouse. Another match! > [@Hoopy Frood](#): > > Spouse Another! > [@janis\_and\_c0](#): > > spouse Another! > [@Dr. Girlfriend](#): > > husband And even if our judge didn’t say it’s a match, it doesn’t matter, because **Sparky812** is our new champion! Good job, Sparky! And a well played game to everyone! ---

Wow! Smacked down in the lase second. What does it say about me that I thought neighbor was the better choice? ---
