The judges say NO.
There’s nothing floppy about disk’s Willy–I mean, Willy’s dick–I mean. Blargh!!!
furious buzzing
Waiting on two panelists for the response to “B!”
KneadToKnow, I seem to failing as an MC. I think we need to bring out the crushinator!
Aw, I think you’re doing just fine. Have you tried PMing the latecomers?
There, there, antonio. There, there.
He wants to be called “Gene”.
We could employ 8 or 9 panelists and the first six that respond to a question are the answers you use to match the contestant. It should speed things up a bit, especially on weekends that some posters take off from here.
There’s a thought!
(one more panelist to hear back from…)
But…but ideas are never plagiarized on the internet! 
Ok. Last nameless panelist, I say I wait on for until the end of the evening, and then we figure out some sort of resolution. It’s unfair to swap a panelist mid game, though, since they already answered for the other contestant…
I think what Skammer meant was that don’t “switch” panelists, but instead designate 8 or 9 panelists to answer the question, and the FIRST 6 that respond (PM you) of those 8 or 9 would be the answers you use for the contestant. You don’t need to swap anyone unless you have a waiting list beyond the 9 panelists and one of the 9 current panelists hasn’t responded to anything in the last x number of days.
That will speed things up for sure.
OK. Here’s what’s going down.
I’m going to wait until 10 PM EST for etv78 to reply. Please do not harangue the…man? Woman? If I don’t get an answer by then, the next person to PM me gets to be Richard Dawson. 
Alright. The writ has been dropped. First one to PM gets to be a panelist!
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
So [del]antonio[/del] Gene, does this mean we get to harangue our truant panelist now?
…Chomp…Chomp…Chommmmmmmp…
Ok! The truant panelist has bowed out for this round, due to mechanical failures. KneadtoKnow has provided a replacement answer (which is quite good). So I leave the floor now to our contestant!
Yeticus Rex:
Bill Gates said: “Being the world’s richest nerd sure has its perks. Not even Steve Jobs has his own gold-plated __________”
So many ways to go with this question…
Well…there are two operative words to consider here…“richest” and “nerd”. When I think richest, I think gold-plated gold bars would definitely be “richest”, but when I think “nerd”, I think of computers, slide rules and pocket protectors…although I believe personally that Gates and Jobs actually have gold-plated pocket protectors, my job is to match the panel and I think out of everything here considered, my response will be:
Pocket Protectors
HALLELUJAH! The game finally continues!!!
Gold plated POCKET PROTECTORS. Alrighty, let’s compare the panelist’s responses!
KneadToKnow graciously stepped in, and provided us with a gold-plated bar of gold, which certainly fits the bill of opulence!
Skammer says pocket protector, which is a match!
Dr. Girlfriend, our resident futurist, think Billy boy has a gold plated robot. If he plans on doing anything lascivious with it, we’ll have to hope it doesn’t run Windows 8!
Cmkellar’s lovely rhyming couplet:
In grade school, being a nerd
Meant you get to run the projector
But when you’re a grown-up, it means you get rich
And can afford a gold-plated POCKET PROTECTOR.
That’s a match!
HardlySanguine said that since it was a “nerd,” it would have to be gold plated dice…:dubious: Dungeons and Dragons, perhaps? Good try!
Finally, janis_and_c0, in keeping with the assumption all nerds are lactose intolerant, decided that the porcelain throne was also gold plated for Bill: toilet!
So after two rounds, we have a tight game: two to one! Yeticus, you are in the lead, so please select either A or B!
(can I also ask that all panelists please subscribe to the thread, so that we can keep tabs on the game? Thank you!)
I’ll pick “A”, Gene!
