Thinking...thinking...it's like an Irish Christmas dinner selection - too much choice, and everything looks good.

Definitely an African theme going on with some of the bluffs.

I like #10 with its BO, KO suggestion. Instinct tells me to go with its next door neighbour...It's gotta be #11.

Now - just so you know - when I took this on, I went back to the early days of this thread and found this

Bibliophile the BibleGuru wrote:


The purpose of Balderdash word games is to provide words which can be located in dictionaries - especially dictionary definitions which have long since been removed, and discarded, from common usage.

Please note, even words which were in vogue as little as thirty years ago, are now no longer shown in certain dictionaries, and as such, obscure and disused words may not necessarily be "old, or ancient" - in fact, they may even refer to recent technologies that have rapidly progressed, and made such terminology redundant.

Anyhow, enjoy the rest of the game.[/color]


sooooooo - i picked a common word - and then searched for a definition as noted above. it was quite a bit of fun

and now - let's see if I can get the results back in here

Good evening. I'm wearing my tuxedo tonight to celebrate the end of this round of Balderdash. Or, I could be sitting here in front of my computer totally naked. I reckon that's what makes the internet mysteriously interesting.

Thank yall for playing in this round.

According to my tally sheet, including this round and the last, justthefax has 6 points followed by,

with 3 each, clary, jameson, equus and webeth.

At 2 each are littlek, firstthought, biblio, cav, ehbeth, jespah and felix. And at 1 are george and taffy.

The rest of us (johnboy sighs deeply) are stuck on 0.

Please don't be bashful about telling me about errors or omissions.

Again, thank yall for your patience in putting up with me. I hope that the next Dasher can build on what we have done in this round.
Good night, it's time to put this puppy to sleep.

and the new totals are : (help me - this is arithmetic!)
