Balderdash

I hope it's number 6. It it's not, I don't know what that pill I just took was for. Giggle............... I vote for #6

Sorry to be late- number 9 for me please

We will be having company for several days, so I can't be dasher this time, but I promise to be dasher for the game after next.

I'll be the Dasher for the next round.....

Even though we haven't totally finished this round, I'll give you the word....

Plumbago

Yippeee P & L is the dasher !!

The XERTZ round is complete!

Jespah fooled firstthought with bluff #1 - An ancient breed of Mayan bird, used in sacrifices.

LarryBS fooled equus, diane, and peaceandlove with bluff #3 - Very high energy gamma waves.

Taffyleblanc fooled Cheshire with bluff #6 - A new pep-up pill for sophisticated felines and canines for creatures in the know.

Cheshire fooled taffyleblanc and felix with bluff #8 - A warm place in my human's favorite chair.

Realjohnboy fooled macsm and hiama with bluff #9 - Small particles or dust of gemstones created during the cutting and polishing process.

Peaceandlove fooled Lola with bluff #12 - A potato.

Zyzzygogue fooled realjohnboy and bibliophile with bluff #14 - Dry crystalline residue produced from xenon.

Bibliophile fooled Jespah with bluff #16 - Fossilised wood found in limestone strata.

Sozobe fooled littlek with bluff #18 - A mild electrical charge administered for the purpose of pain relief.


The real definition of XERTZ is . . . . . . . . .




#10 - To gulp down something quickly.

Guessed correctly by Zyzzygogue and Sozobe.

Yeah, for Larry! you did it. You fooled us all. I did it once. The very first time, and never again so far. You did a very nice job dashing, Larry. OK on to P&L's word.

LarryBS rocks. He attracts what may be a record number of players, posts a word that no one correctly guesses and a bluff that fools three of us. Well done, Larry.

That was a great input from everyone on the XERTZ game.

We can move Diane and Felix Noir from the bottom list, up to the "received" list....
(thank you Diane!)

Still time to submit your bluff definitions!!!

Shall we call a 24-hour cut-off???

Anyone else want to get in this round???

Very good, P&L. Looking forward to it. Thanks
