So, we go to round 2, with the first question going to **MadTheSwine** , who is in the lead. MadTheSwine, please be thinking about your answer to this: Dumb Dora is so dumb ā€¦ (pause for pent-up cries to be released) ---

We really seem to have struck a nerve here. I kind of feel like these should be matches for **cmkeller** , since theyā€™re expressing the same sentiment (ie. that Beiber should be die young, or right now). If heā€™d said, ā€œDie Todayā€ or ā€œDie Just Dieā€ or something would they have been a match? Not to question our esteemed Judgeā€¦ ---

I understand, **MadTheSwine** , and applaud your generosity. My decision came down to this, which may be hairsplitting, but so be it: Justin has many years of ā€œyoungā€ ahead of him. He could die in 10 years and people would still say he died young. ---

Fair enough. _double-checks to make sure heā€™s still wearing his Avery Mask and not the one with the giant Yosemite-Sam mustache that looks just like **MadTheSwine** _ ---

:smack: Sorry for the mis-attribution. This will be my last post from my BlackBerry. I thought the biggest problem would be the connectivity, but itā€™s the screen size thatā€™s killing me. Too hard to read. Yes, the leader will get the first question in round 2. Still waiting for all panelists. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > Maybe, to speed things up in the next game, you name 8 panelists and take the first six answers from them? Thatā€™s definitely something to consider. I could also (theoretically) open the game to anyone who wants to play, and simply take the first six replies. However, the slowdown yesterday was entirely on me doing stuff IRL, which wonā€™t be resolved by such a change. ---

Thatā€™s a fantastic answer for a Dumb Dora question! Letā€™s see what our panelists said: **HardlySanguine** : taxes, which is close, but no match **MeanOldLady** : did not write in this round **antonio107** : did not write in this round, but favored us with this poem: She was frying some eggs, or to so she strove, But that dingbat Dora, Couldnā€™t light the damn STOVE! **Skammer** : did not write in this round **etv78** : fireplace **Dr. Girlfriend** : fridge So, there were some excellent answers given but no matches in round 2 for MadTheSwine. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all the players for my neglecting to specify for round 2 which players were writing and which were not, and for holding up the game further by waiting for a reply from someone who was savvy enough to know they werenā€™t actually supposed to answer for round 2. I promise, tomorrowā€™s the last day of the con, and my attention span will be greatly improved.
