MG Round 3 Question B
Doug: Welcome back to the Net Couch Potatoes - Remote Control Hour! (audience laughs) (Doug presses button revealing Round 3 questions on the toaster)
Doug: By the way, should this round end in a scoreless tie, Michael Clifford reclaims the championship by default. (more laughter) Just kidding! We're still tied. Since John went first in Round 2, we go to Matthew for the selection. A or B? Matthew: B, please!
Doug: (grabs B; walks to panel) All right, everyone on the panel's in on both questions in the round. Here's the first... I have a TV Guide listing. Thursday night, My Network TV, "The Simple Life", 6th season debut. (Yes, I know it's not for real -- but work with me, here.) Paris and Nicole have this wild idea of entering the World Chess Championship. But first, they attempt to buy chess pieces at a << BLANK >> shop. (MG '7x wank think music plays)
Doug: OK, we're all set. Question again. I have a TV Guide listing. Thursday night, My Network TV, "The Simple Life", 6th season debut. Paris and Nicole have this wild idea of entering the World Chess Championship. But first, they attempt to buy chess pieces at a << BLANK >> shop. Matthew: I hope play on words (chess - chest) work on this question. A "lingerie" shop! (loud groans from the crowd) Doug: In fairness to you, I could see where you're going on that; the girls misreading "chest" when it's really "chess". But, there was this scene from "The Simple Life" when the girls thought a great place to buy walls would be Wal*Mart. Thinking in that same vain, they thought the best place to buy chess pieces would be -- show him, Will. Will: Yeah, they'd probably NEVER go to one of these normally, but, a... ***** PAWN ***** Will: ...shop. (buzz) (audience cheers) Doug: Get it? Chess pieces? *Pawn* shop? Jay, what did you come up with? Jay L.: The titular chess joke is the word it kinda sounds like. Where else ya gonna buy Chest pieces? +----------+ | LINGERIE | +----------+ (ding) (audience cheers) Doug: Well I'll be! Our first match in the game -- finally. Jay Cross? Jay C.: Well, I also think they'd confuse chess for the word "chest", so I'm going to say they went to a... [Body] shop! (buzz) Doug: Right train of thought -- but still no match. Let's come down here to Ryran. Ryan: Because they thought they were going to the World CHEST Championship... +================+ | Medical Supply | +================+ (buzz) (light applause from the crowd) Doug: Gosh, I thought for sure we'd have more pawn shops. Eddie? Eddie: They probably don't go there often -- [flip] PAWN SHOP (buzz) (light applause from the crowd) Doug: That's what I'm talkin' about. And Adam? Adam: I don't believe for a moment that they've ever seen the inside of one, but since the pun works, I said... +------+ | PAWN | | | +------+ (buzz) (light applause from the crowd) Doug: Well, Matthew, ya would've done better with "pawn"...
PAWN | LINGERIE | BODY
MEDICAL SUPPLY | PAWN SHOP | PAWNMatthew's response: LINGERIE
Doug: ...but at least you got on the board with CY$100. John, you need to match one star to tie. Two matches sends you to the Squares.MG ROUND 3 CONTINUES
