Wow... thanks for the point.... but.... um.... it should have been awarded to little k....

lil'k.... I owe you one.... LOL....

Pogonion wasn't obvious. That was a good one. Thanks. The only reason I guessed right is that I happened to know that "pogonophobia" is fear of beards (hence my bluff about beard jewelry)

What an unusual fear; well, better to fear beards than tomato ketchup, like one girl I knew.

And thanks for pointing that out, Peace and Love; I was in quite a rush, thinking of lots of things; and my mind skips sometimes when doing that.

Hello? Do I get points too?

And, rjb gets a point for fooling me with #12.

All right, all points are now where they should be, I should hope.

Do we need a new word? How about

XYSTARCH

Brilliant! I'll get thinking about that...

I've heard of xyst, but not xystarch!

Is it the starch 'z' needs when it's feeling limp?!

Thanks, drom. for a fine round and, with one more scoring adjustment, you should be done. Ehbeth's score should be 4 vs 2. Here's why according to the rules: a game ends when a player hits or passes through the 13 point mark (and everybody starts over at zero). If a player finishes in first place and lands exactly on 13, the player's score in the first round of the next game gets doubled.
So the round before Pogonion ended with ehbeth winning that game with a score of 13. Her 2 points for your round get doubled to 4.
I'm confident someone else can confirm this rule as being correct and we can move on to XYSTARCH. -johnboy-

48 hours notice from this posting and I'll put up the choices for

XYSTARCH

If you haven't submitted a bluff, do so by PM to me before then.

Okay, there being no further bluffs, here are the possible definitions of

XYSTARCH:

1. Flat-footed.

2. Genetic information held in either the X or Y chromosome, having nothing to do with gender or sex characterics.

3. An architectural arched entryway that came into popular use in post war Germany.

4. A place that Diva's of today perform their calisthenics in stormy weather.

5. A superindendance of the feline powder-room.

6. An Egyptian district ruler chosen by consulting the entrails of a sacred cat

7. A leader randomly selected by secret ballot.

8. Ancient Greek officer in charge of physical exercise.

9. An abnormal polysaccharide found, in small quantities, amongst normal starch in fourteen out of every thousand plants. A presence of xystarch is usually caused by poor growing conditions.

10. The region of contact between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron, across which nerve impulses are transmitted.

11. Powder component of the extra-strength formulation of Shower to Shower, derived from corn.

12. A covered walkway.

Hmm heh I had to check which one was my bluff

Uh, 8?

OH none of them, all of them...
