The Comeback Challenge Round 56 ~ The Queen of Sheeba Shows Up

And just when I thought I'd cornered the market on Queens.

It is time once again to announce the winner of this week's Comeback Challenge. I always look forward to this part of the competition. Why? Because you make me laugh.

It's been a strange and unorthodox week on this blog. In addition to the "usual suspects" who never cease to amaze me with their comic creativity, we have one of the regulars showing up with royalty. Challenger #3 decided to answer the questions as if he were a real Queen. He brought Cleopatra? On MY blog? How dare he! Everybody knows I'm the real Queen.....Don't they?
Let's see what the rest of the crew had to say. I feel a dungeon fit coming on!

Challenger #1 
1. Let's hang it sideways in an open lot.

I don’t know. I think it sounds painful. = 2
2. A Loyal Gentleman With Good Roots.
If he had to go court and everyone knew he would lose, they’d say: He
hasn’t a root to stand on. =2
3. Step up to the plate.
OK, but even one heater that’s too close to my noggin and I’m outta here. =2
4. This ride ain't over yet...get on.
Everyone keep their hands inside your seat until this read has come
to a complete stop. =35. Five People Rolled Into One Seeks Same.
In other words, “Multiple personality disordered man seeks
same. There would be ten of us. How cool is this gonna
be! =2
6. I will need to hoo you.
I can see why’d you think that. It seems to be a common observation people have after spending time with me. I won’t hoo you. Sorry. =17. I'm tired of being an "Idiot Magnet."
Always lead with your biggest fear or weakness. It is so easy to
find more idiots who’d know how to manipulate without
wasting the waiting to actually get to know the people
that you sleep with. =2
8. You had me at Hellno!
You didn’t have me at all.
Look, you’ve got to pick the right song. At this stage
of the competition you have got to bring your “A” game
each and every time. I was bored to tears. Sorry! =29. Over forty victim of fate.
So you quote obscure Jimmy Buffett songs. That’s a talent I am sure you use
a lot! =1
10. My Boat Needs An Anchor.
And your head needs a brain. Dude it must suck to be you. =3

Tie-Breaker: I Gots What You Need.
If it’s brains, go help the whack job from the last question. =2

Total points of Bud Weiser = 20 (Tied with Frank for first place/22 points with tie-breaker)
