Hi. I've got a game I want to show you all.

Talking Heads: Hangman
it's like hangman on acid


You've all played hangman. You should know the rules by now.
But for those unaware,
Code:
  |------
  |     o
  |    /|\
  |    / \
  |
  -------

You're trying to save this little guy from the gallows. It's like making a defense in court, except not at all. It's more like a member from the audience being held against their will, and we have to guess letters to get them back. Something's not right with that picture.

Each wrong guess adds a limb to him, somehow. Reverse dismemberment. Remember, wrong guesses don't stack; only the first one will be counted. You can try and guess the full phrase, but if you get it wrong, that's an instant game over. Kinda sad.

Guessing the full phrase or completing it letter by letter (who would do that?) saves the audience member. Each saved audience member earns you a tip, which you can use to buy vowels. They cost a dollar.

Code:
  |------
  |   
  |   
  |   
  |
  -------

HINT: Same as it ever was...
PHRASE: _ _ _ _   _ _   _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
MISSES:
MONEY: $10


That should be all, so if you'll excuse me, I'm going to buy myself lunch.

Come on and guess! America is Waiting (track 1 of our collaboration "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts") for you to guess!

Two Hangman threads now! I'll guess a T.
EDIT: Missed Vinny's post, but we've got the same guess.

Hurry folks! We need to save the life of this audience member:

I feel like I should make it clear that Mr. Eno is not participating at the moment.

Wow gee um, I mean I was doing some stuff with Robert, but you know me David man, you and I can always collaborate anytime you want. I'm gonna throw in a cog in the spanner and guess a nice, groovy L to stop the presses. You know how it is, man. You know it it will be, anyways.

I'm sure we would collaborate if we weren't all touring at the moment. (Including you!)

If you're confident you'll get it, I don't see why not. It's still a bit early on, though.

Code:
  |------
  |    o
  |   
  |   
  |
  -------

HINT: Same as it ever was...
PHRASE: _ _ _ _   _ _   _   L _ _ _ T _ _ _
MISSES: S
MONEY: $10


Looks like we have our first miss. I could write a song about that.

Ding ding ding! I'm surprised the clue didn't tip more people off.

Code:
  |------
  |   
  |   
  |

  -------

HINT: I'm a government man.
PHRASE: _ _ _ _   _ _   _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _
MISSES:
MONEY: $10


This one's a phrase from one of our songs. Gotta hand it to whoever figures this one out.

Also, Mr. Eno can now participate.

I forgot to put the tip in the jar, but you just spent it. That could have gone toward my lunch.

Also, both of you are correct.
