Match Game anyone?

Ooo, that’s an excellent answer, HardlySanguine!

Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

antonio107: Butt!

Yeticus Rex: Summer Sausage Collection

Dr. Girlfriend: Smile

Hoopy Frood: pen

MeanOldLady: ass

cmkeller: ass

I’m afraid the judge, citing the long-standing rule of not matching general with specific, has to rule that “ass”/“butt” are not matches for “body.”

That’s bad news for you, HardlySanguine, but good news for Maus Magill, who wins the game with a score of 3-0!

Congratulations to Maus Magill!

262

W00t!

Thank you for running this game, KTK.

263

So I’m not the only one who said ass. Hurrah!

264

Today’s going to be a kind of busy day for me, as I’m helping get some final preparations done for our big fundraiser on Saturday.

I will plan to start a new game tomorrow (Friday, Oct. 28) by noon ET.

Until then, these messages from our sponsors …

265

Congrats**, Maus!

**does not surreptitiously drop a suspicious substance into your celebratory wine

266

Me Me Me! Can I play?

267

Absolutely! Keep your eyes open tomorrow morning (between 9 am and noon ET) and be one of the first 8 responses to the new question.

268

New game begins now!

The first 2 responses I receive via PM will be the contestants in this game. The next 6 will be the panelists.

Please PM me your best response to the following:

Carol said, “I love everything about my new oven except the fact that it keeps burning my _______.”

269

Oh man, and I (finally!) have a good answer, but I’m afraid a game beginning now will render me a lousy participant/panelist as I shall be very busy very soon. :frowning:

270

Jump in, anyway. Remember, the last game took over a week to gather 8 responses.

271

Okay, kiddies!

We have a full round of replies now, and we can start the game!

Contestant #1 is notfrommensa, and I would ask that you now share your response to this:

(And once that happens, I will ask everyone to be patient for me to post the panelists answers. Today is a very busy day for me as I’m helping melodyharmonius get ready for our big fundraiser.)

272

Is this Carol Brady? Alice did all the cooking in that household. Since Bobby thought Carol Brady was an evil-stepmother, “Kids” might be a good answer.

But alas, I went with BUNS!

273

I thank you all for your patience! Alrighty, then: notfrommensa went with buns, and now let’s see what the panelists went with:

Maus Magill: buns, a match!

janis_and_c0: buns, another match!

Hoopy Frood: buns, yet another match!

HardlySanguine: buns, wow!

Dr. Girlfriend: buns, 5 matches!

Avarie537: buns, for the Full Matchy!

An amazing first-round 6-point score for notfrommensa! A first for our version of the Match Game!

Astounding!!
That certainly leaves contestant #2’s work cut out for her. MeanOldLady, please contemplate your response to the following:

Panelists, please PM me your responses now.

274

Damn, I don’t get to play Round 2 then. Frowny Face.

i think I have the definitive answer for this question as well.

And BTW, Gene Rayburn taught me the word “definitive”, on Match Game, back in the 70s.

275

Okay! All our panelists are lit :wink: and we are now ready now for MeanOldLady to share her answer to this:

276

Booty.

:o

277

Haha! That’s a marvelous answer! Let’s see what our panelists had to say:

Maus Magill: hook

janis_and_c0: parrot

Hoopy Frood: booty, there’s a match!

HardlySanguine: peg leg

Dr. Girlfriend: peg leg

Avarie537: peg leg

That’s one match for you in round one, MeanOldLady!

And since notfrommensa matched all six panelists, we turn now directly to MeanOldLady’s round two question, which follows:

Panelists, please PM me your responses now.

278

FTR, My answer would have been “Dinghy”. But “Booty” is good too.

279

That would have made a fine answer. The beauty of this game is that every time I write a question thinking there’s obviously only one right answer to it, y’all surprise me.

But it happened on the show from time to time, too. I was watching an episode last night where the question was along the lines of “Monty Hall said, 'I’d like to introduce the host of the Indian version of Let’s Make a Deal, _______ Hall.” Everyone went with American Indian-related answers, missing what seemed to me to be the one true answer: Taj Ma.

Oh, and please note: Hoopy Frood, having already matched MeanOldLady in round one, you need not respond. You may lay out this round. :slight_smile:
