MG Round 1 Question B

 

 

Rick: I'll pick B.

Doug: (grabs B; walks to panel)  B it shall be -- and we're off
and running.

Hey, did you hear they'll have a tug-of-war event in this year's 
world's strongest man competition?  Instead of rope, the contenders 
will be pulling << BLANK >>. 

(a few laughs from the crowd) (think music plays) 

 

Doug: Remember, Round 1's are usually toughies -- so let the imagination
run free.

(stars write)

 

(buzz buzz)

Doug: OK, 'fraid we didn't get an answer from Ryan in time.  Rick,
question again.

Hey, did you hear they'll have a tug-of-war event in this year's 
world's strongest man competition?  Instead of rope, the contenders 
will be pulling << BLANK >>. 

Rick: 
Anchor chains.

(a few laughs and claps from the crowd)

Doug: "Anchor Chains: The Legend of Ron Burgundy".  (a few laughs
from the crowd)  Hey, spending a lot of time working the guns.  Anyhoo,
let's begin comparing answers starting with one of our anime hosts,
Brent.

Brent: So excited to be here, Doug! 

Doug: Oh, we're excited to have all of you here.

Brent: I think the contenders hit the crazy sauce before the competition
—- so much, they pulled (card) their hair out. 

(buzz) (audience laughs)

Doug: Make each other bald in the process.  Chad?

Chad: Hey, I figure they have to minimize their strength to pull...

[DENTAL FLOSS]

(audience laughs and applauds) (buzz) 

Doug: That was what I was thinking.  To Dusty, our other anime emcee.

Dusty: There's been some cuts in the World's Strongest Budget. Instead of hotdogs,
they're serving cocktail weenies, and instead of a rope for tug o' war,
they're using...

+------+
|STRING|

(buzz) (audience laughs and applauds) 

Doug: Who knew the competition was being affected by the sequester?
Over to Joe now.  Hey, did you hear they'll have a tug-of-war event 
in this year's world's strongest man competition?  Instead of rope, 
the contenders will be pulling << BLANK >>. 


Joe: Nice to be back here, Doug.  It's funny you mention the World's 
Strongest Man Contest.  They actually held this year's event at my place
of business, the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles.  And I seem to remember 
that they had an event where they had to pull:

+-------+
|HONEY  |
|BOO-BOO|
+-------+

+-------+
|AND HER|
|SCUMBAG|
|MOTHER |
+-------+
(buzz) (audience laughs and applauds) 


Doug: Aren't their 15 minutes of fame about up?  (more laughs and
applause)  And Tom, wrap this up for us.

Tom: Let's see who can win this one, when they are pulling....

GUNS!

(buzz) (audience laughs)

Doug: Again -- tickets to the gun show!

 

...THEIR HAIR OUT | DENTAL FLOSS | STRINGS
(no answer) | HONEY BOO-BOO...MOTHER | GUNS!

Rick's response: ANCHOR CHAINS

 

 

Doug: Oh well, no score that time, Rick.  Better luck in Round 2.
