Okay, we’re back for the second half of round 2, with **cmkeller** ’s question.

The score is currently

**MadTheSwine** - 3  
**cmkeller** - 0

With no matches in round 1 for **cmkeller** , everybody plays.

Champ, be thinking about your answer to this:

Dr. Frankenstein said, “_Antipasto_!”

No, actually,

Dr. Frankenstein said, “I wasn’t originally trying to build a monster. Until I found a brain to use, I was planning to build a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.”

</div>

So who are we waiting on? I believe KneadToKnow is still processing my answer, whilst shaking his head with disgust…😃

All the panelists’ responses are in, and we’re ready now for **cmkeller** ’s answer to this:

Dr. Frankenstein said, “I wasn’t originally trying to build a monster. Until I found a brain to use, I was planning to build a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_.”

So many politically incorrect ethnic jokes could fit in here, but I’ll go with the stereotype that is still OK to joke about:

Before he found a brain, he was planning to build a BLONDE.

Let me premptively sway the judges by saying that I think I got a match! 😃

Well, you got some catcalls from the audience on that one, **cmkeller** , but let’s see what the panelists did for you:

**HardlySanguine** : bunneh

**MeanOldLady** : woman, which because of the way you spelled it, our judge is giving to you as a match!

**antonio107** : girlfriend, the judge also says is a match!

**Skammer** : congressman

**etv78** : George W Bush, which gets some attention from the moderator, but hopefully not a warning.

**Dr. Girlfriend** : politician  
So, that’s 2 matches in round 2, by the grace of the judge, but I’m afraid that game 2 ends with the score:  
**MadTheSwine** - 3  
**cmkeller** - 2  
Congratulations, **MadTheSwine** , our new champion!

Both our contestants played very well, and our panelists were sparkling and witty as always.

The next Match Game will begin tomorrow at the soonest, for any night-owls awaiting further developments. 🙂

So, with game 2 complete, I’ve decided to give someone else a shot at hosting the game, so please welcome our new host, **antonio107**!

Please. Call me “Gene.” 🆒

Ok, I have a doozy lined up for this one. I sent a PM to the three people in our virtual green room. The first one to hop on to the seat gets to play. I have two (what I think are) really good ones lined up. I invite **MadTheSwine** , or **DasBöseSchwein** , as I would have put it, to select either ‘A’ or ‘B’.

I’m in class all day, which means I have ample time to goof off and mindlessly surf message boards, like the wretched student I am, lol.

A it is! Panelists…(Who are the 6 panelists now?)

Weird Willy is SO weird…  
How Weird is he??

There there. There’ll be no shouting on my set! :mad:

He was SO weird, that when he bought a new laptop, he kept trying to stick his \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ into the USB port!

(This is my first attempt. I apologize in advance if it sucks, lol)

Shoot, I thought that outgoing contestants were automatically rotated into the panel.

Well, put me on the list, at least.
