Graham Kennedy was famous for filling in the _______s

This is based on an old game show but the idea is pretty basic.
The phrases used for the game were usually double entendres but gained a frisson from the censorship prevalent at the time. Players often walked a fine line between what was acceptable and a broadcasting authority inquiry.
In the spirit of the original, let's have some fun...
We take turns posting phrases with a key word 'blanked' out. Other players get to fill the blanks.
As an example:
"I could have ____— all night"
Fill the blank with anything that seems appropriate (or inappropriate) to you....
The winning "blank" is the one that gets the most votes. That person gets to post the next phrase....
Here's one to get us started:
"Oscar caught his ___— in the door"

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

wow!
I'm was waiting for a clear winner to emerge so we could start another round but the great "blanks" just keep coming...
At the moment Dennis ("Ocsar caught his golden statue in the door.") and rwarner ("girlfriend kissing another man") are equal leaders with 4 votes each.
Shall we call a winner after 20 suggestions?

This is a great idea, Sarcophilus. (And 'package' was the best, rwarner. After I read that I couldn't think of anything better.)
The winning "blank" is the one that gets the most votes. That person gets to post the next phrase....
Is rwarner going to post another one in this article...?
This article could set the record for most comments ever.
