I shall bow out, because I’m much better at being a spectator than a participant. I should have realized this in light of my chronic ability to come in the bottom half at nearly every Feud game I’ve played here. I’ll still watch, because hell, I like Match Game. All the best. ---

Actually, in true inept fashion, I don’t know who my six panelists are anymore… **ETV** and **HardlySanguine** have PM’d me, along with Janis whom I believe was supposed to be the next _contestant._ That leaves… **Skammer** , **cmkeller** , **Dr. Girlfriend** , and…well, what the hey! Janis, I have an answer from you! You’ve been promoted from contestant to panelist a la Kirstie Alley! **Yeticus Rex** , you are now contestant #2. If I’ve slighted anyone, I apologize. I come from the country that brought you “Littlest Hobo,” and the guy from “Growing Pains,” which is my excuse for sucking at producing this fake TV show…😃 ---

Does that mean I need to think of a rhyme every time? If I’m anyone, I’m probably McLean Stevenson. ---

What a scandalous answer for 1977! I don’t think that will make it on the air :). ---

Oh my…CBS is going to have my head on a pike now… HardlySanguine - Weird Willy stuck his **tongue** into the USB port. Believe it or not, the computer used the opportunity to access and reprogram his brain so that he went on a mass murdering spree. janis\_and\_co - He stuck his MOUSE (which for my money fits a little too well…:dubious:). Cmkeller - he stuck his TONGUE there. Good answer, but not what we’re looking for! Skammer - Ok I’m avoiding the obvious ‘dirty’ answer (not appropriate for 70’s TV!) and go with “coins.” Get it? He thought the laptop was coin-operated? Hello? Is this thing on? If we should enforce a PG-13 rule from here on in, it might avoid some confusion! 😃 Richard Dawson (etv78) says Mr. Happy…Judges? Yes, that is the 1970s word for penis! We have a match! Dr. Girlfriend - Floppy Disk, an answer which I myself am quite fond of! Now, while our next contestant is getting revved up, could all six panelists give me their answer to THIS: Bill Gates said: “Being the world’s richest nerd sure has its perks. Not even Steve Jobs has his own gold-plated \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_” (something about me and computers this week!) ---

“Floppy” would have been a great double-entendre answer. Oh well. ---
