MG Round 2 Question A Doug: We're back for Round 2. Dave, we turn to you since you're in the lead. (Doug pushes button on magic toaster)
Doug: Here are the questions for Round 2. Can I interest you in A or B? Dave: Let's take "A" for Adams.
Doug: A for Adams it will be. (Doug grabs A; walks over to panel) Ryan does not write for this question; the rest of you please respond to this... Ed said, "The mayor of this town used to be a wrestler. Instead of 'Walk, Don't Walk', the pedestrial signals here say '<< BLANK >>, Don't << BLANK >>." (J! think music plays)
Doug: And everyone's in. Dave, let's see if we can add to that 100. Ed said, "The mayor of this town used to be a wrestler. Instead of 'Walk, Don't Walk', the pedestrial signals here say '<< BLANK >>, Don't << BLANK >>." Dave: Oh, geez... so many comments I could make about Jesse Ventura, so little time. (audience laughs) Doug: Well, ya oughta say something. Clock's ticking. Dave: (Jesse Ventura impression of him singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame) Just something the news had recently. I thought I'd take the time to embarrass him. (audience laughs) Doug: LOL! I like that. Got an answer? Dave: I would say the pedestrian signs in his town say "Pound", Don't "Pound" Simply because, pound for pound, a wrestler is thicker in the skull than just about anyone else. (audience laughs and applauds) Doug: He said it, not me. We're looking for Pound, Don't Pound. Charlie, oblige the man. Charlie: I've seen the "walk" signs there. The man lighted in white has his arm stuck out to the side. It stands for... +-------------+ | CLOTHESLINE | | DON'T | | CLOTHESLINE | +-------------+ Doug: "Pound" and "Clothesline"... (buzz) ... do not match. (audience boos) (Doug's note: I checked dictionary.com for "clothesline". Definition I got for the word as a verb, "To knock down (an opponent in an athletic contest) by hooking the neck with an outstretched arm.") Doug: Now now now, one wrestler can pound another without actually knocking him down. Two different things -- hence the mismatch. Jay, what did those pedestrian signals in the wrestler's city say? Jay: Well you pencil-necked geek, the signs flashed BODYSLAM, don't BODYSLAM (Doug's note: Went back to dictionary.com. "Bodyslam" wasn't there -- but "slam" was. The website defined "slam" as "To hit or strike with great force." "Pound" yielded a definition of "To strike repeatedly and forcefully". So, we give Dave CY$100 and a triangle) (ding; audience applause) (Jay grabs Doug in a headlock) Doug: Easy! Easy! ACK! (Doug shakes head) Man alive. (audience laughs) Jim? Jim: Doug, I hate wrestling. I hate it. I hate it. And if a wrestler was the mayor, I'd say FAKE IT (buzz) Doug: But tell us how you *really* feel about wrestling. (audience laughs) FWIW, my mother couldn't agree with you more. She lives about an hour away from Memphis and they just got an XFL team. She's far from thrilled. Anyhoo, we'll bypass Ryan since he matched Dave earlier and move onward to Mr. Net 10-To-1. Dean: Doug, I think I know why Jay and I have the same answers. He's looking over my shoulder. Doug: Jay? Cheat off you? Surely you jest? :) Dean: Anyhow, I think this town run by a wrestler also has referees in the police station. The crosswalks there say... +-------------+ | CHOKE & | | DON'T CHOKE | +-------------+ (buzz) Doug: No match there. Finally to Dana. Dave's looking for Pound, Don't Pound. Dana: This is a round 2 question? DOUBLE WOW!! (audience laughs) Doug: OK, Frank Epstein. (audience laughs) What did you say? Dana: I tried to think of an answer relevant to both politics and "sports entertainment", and I'm sorry Dave, but all I came up with after an hour of staring at the question was: ________________________ | | |Fake It, Don't Fake It | |_______________________| (buzz) Doug: No match there. Well, let's recap the answers and scoring...CLOTHESLINE | BODYSLAM (match with "pound") | FAKE IT
(matched earlier) | CHOKE | FAKE IT
