Carnac the Magnificent game

Here's an idea I got from a message board on the net. I'm not putting this in the queue because it isn't a puzzle, and since the responses need to be in a continuous stream I'm not putting it in chat, so I thought I'd try the Forum…

On the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, he did a bit where he dressed up like a swami named Carnac the Magnificent. Carnac would hold a sealed envelope to his forehead and state the response to the question inside. Then he opened the envelope to reveal the question. An example:

Carnac: Sis Boom Bah

Envelope: What sound does an exploding sheep make?

Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to say what the envelope contains for the post above yours, and then offer a Carnac for the next person to answer.

Ready? First envelope, please…

Carnac: Love and Rockets.

Cool.

Envelope: Name two things that make you fly and your heart race, but could blow up in your face at any moment.

Carnac: Hamburger Helper.

These last two entries are sad.

Carnac: Family Feud.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

What's the point of saying "ignoring Satan" and then following it by addressing (not ignoring) my comment?

At least your "envelope" response was clever.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

Sorry, I can't come up with anything funny for the last Carnac. Sounds, such as boom shak-a-lak-a, can be pretty hard to spoof. What seems to work best for this game are common phrases or famous titles, which players can then interpret in new ways. Examples:
Carnac: I'll Take Manhattan.
Envelope: What did Donald Trump say when told he could have his own private island?
Carnac: Dick Gephardt.
Envelope: What is the primary result of taking Viagra?
Anyhoo, let's give this another try...
Carnac: Gone With the Wind.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

Sorry, Bryan, for sticking you with such a tough one. I won't use sounds anymore.

Envelope: What do you call the fourth string on a guitar? (I think it's fourth)

Carnac: The Orient Express

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

After the last couple of entries, I think this thread needs to be moderated.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

You know, Satan . . . you really ought to leave this thread alone. I haven't seen any of your comments or puzzles on this site. Maybe if you weren't always trying to be (no pun intended) the devil's advocate in this thread, I would listen to you.
Just for laughs, (ignoring Satan).

Envelope: Name one fact you might hear along with "Jessica Jackson is a women's rights activist."

Envelope: Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

Sorry, I meant Janet Jackson, not Jessica - who is Jessica Jackson, anyway?
Envelope: How this thread progresses with Satan butting in every third reply.


Carnac: On my honor . . .

Re: Carnac the Magnificent game

Envelope: What working title was scrapped for Bill Clinton's autobiography?

Remember: The contents of the envelope should be 1) funny and 2) in the form of a question. BTW, nothing against Satan, but I thought Captain Paradox's last envelope was hilarious.

Carnac: Fault line.
