Hello, and welcome to another exciting round of Match Game! I realize that, even in my own opinion, it's a touch early for a holiday themed Match Game, but this is the latest I could run a game and guarantee that I'll have internet connectivity for the duration ( ).
If you're not familiar with the rules, we'll start with a brief reminder:
-I'll provide a sentence, with a portion of it left blank. The contestant's job is to fill in the blank with whatever they choose. It could be funny, sad, obscene, German, whatever. Funny gets the points more often, however.
-Entries can be posted in the alloted time period (questions are posted every tuesday and friday). I'll provide a 24-hour reminder/topic bump before the end of the round.
-After the round ends, I'll compare the contestants' answers to those provided by an esteemed and/or elite panel of 6 previously selected judges. Any matches will be awarded 1 point. If you match multiple judges' responses, you earn a point for each judge.
-There are 5 rounds scored as above, plus 1 bonus round. The bonus round will be worth 1d4 points. This means that if you've been a bit behind everyone else, there's still one last chance to take the prize. This round, I'm gong to add a qualifier, due to the high amount of points possible in the bonus round:
Only contestants who have provided an answer (even if it didn't earn any points) during the first four rounds will be eligible for the multiplier
-Any response that I cannot award points to outright will go to the Ultimate Judge (my wife) and I have to warn you, she's a hardass.
The winner will receive a generous winnings package of cash* and prizes, including:
-1 Toy yoda -1856 points for reference -3 thwacks with a fish -The eternal love, admiration and offers of "continuing the bloodline (if you know what I mean)" of other snopesters. *(Employees and message board members of snopes.com are ineligible for cash prize)
So, without further ado, I need 6 volunteers for judging, preferably ones who have never judged before.

So, let's take a look at our esteeming pile of judges!
First, When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad; I simply remember Darth Credence, and then I don't feel so bad (when did that become a Holiday song anyway?).
Second, The Batmobile lost a wheel, and AmISalmon got away!
Third, all of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names (like erinker74)!
Fourth, And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy, throw your arms around pirateslife at Christmastime.
Fifth, Feliz Navidad...Feliz Navidad...Feliz Navidad; Prospero Ano y Forgotten Fay!
And last, but certainly not least: Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Canuckistan; You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!
I will send the questions to our judges, and post round one on friday morning. Good luck to everyone!

Personally, I consider myself more the Charles Nelson Reilly of these threads.
But, sure, I cause misery and suffering throughout the world. I'll take it.

Now for the first question. Each correct response is worth one point.
