MG Round 1 Question A

 

 

(audience cheers) (Doug presses button revealing Round 1 questions
on the toaster)

Doug: Again, winner goes to the Hollywood Squares finals.  Matt,
I've got two questions here.  Please pick A or B and we'll get
the journey in this tourney underway.

Matt: I'll take A.

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) A it is and we're off and running.
By the way, no Grand Question in this game due to the high stakes
in the tourney.  Here's the query.

Unlucky Louie said, "Heh, thanks to the recent change in the 
Zodiac, now I'm under the sign of << BLANK >>."

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

(stars write) 
 

 

Doug: All right, they're ready, Matt.  Here's the question
again.

Unlucky Louie said, "Heh, thanks to the recent change in the 
Zodiac, now I'm under the sign of << BLANK >>."
 
Matt: I'll say cancer.

(groans and boos from the crowd)

Doug: Ohhhh -- KAY.  Nothing like a depressing start to the
tournament.  Jay, we start comparing answers with you.

Jay: Poor Unlucky Louie, he's under the sign of the [black cat]!

(buzz) (scattered cheers from the crowd)

Doug: That's a good answer.  Chad, what about you?

Chad: This might be more like the Chinese Zodiac, but he *is* 
unlucky...

[BLACK CAT]

(buzz)  (more cheers from the crowd)

Doug: Another black cat.  Get the idea now, Matt?  Over to
Chris.

Chris: To quote Tom "T-Bone" Stankus, some girls with psychic powers 
asked, "Hey, Louie, what's your sign?"  I blinked and answered:

+------+
| NEON |
+------+

(buzz) (audience laughs)

Chris: I thought I'd blow her mind!

(more laughs)

Doug: There we go.  Like that.  Let's come on down and visit our
master of the squares, Ryan.  Unlucky Louie said, "Heh, thanks to 
the recent change in the Zodiac, now I'm under the sign of 
<< BLANK >>."  He said cancer.  You said...?

Ryan: (card)

+===============+
| The Black Cat |
+===============+

(buzz) (more cheers from the crowd)

Doug: Black cat seems to be the definitive answer.  Dean?

Dean: Man, this economy...

+-------------+
| FORECLOSURE |
+-------------+

(audience laughs and applauds) (buzz)

Doug: Now *that* was my answer.  And Mystic Girl, great to see you
here.  Wrap this question up for us.

Mystic Girl: I'm putting it short and simple...

NO PARKING

(buzz) (scattered laughs and applause)

Doug: No Parking -- but no matches as we review.

 

BLACK CAT | BLACK CAT | NEON
BLACK CAT | FORECLOSURE | NO PARKING

Matt's answer: CANCER

 

 

Doug: Matt, fear not.  Better luck in the next round.  Michael looks
ready to play.
