My multiple failures in Think Different have prepared me for this game. Hoping my final three responses are well-received.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

I'm the complete opposite of alcoholic, yet for some reason that was the first answer that came to mind. :P

I had to restrain myself from responding Rainbow Brite, thinking it was likely to be a singleton. I figured Rainbow Connection would fare poorly, but couldn't think of anything better. :shock:

What is Rainbow Connection? I've never heard of it. Most of the hits Google gives are of a bar in Miami and I doubt that's it.

If only I could sheep in the Match Game and get singletons in TD. Heavy sigh.

Thanks, gamawire! Like a motion to adjourn, a Match Game is always in order.

Thanks for a fun game, Gamawire!
The "best" answers in a match game often amaze me, even more so than in a TD. Sometimes, what's obvious to me is also obvious to lots of other players. Other times, I have no idea how the masses made their choice. Really makes it fun.
Congratulations to the deserving top scorers.
