I will post all the definitions tomorrow afternoon. One more day won't hurt and it would be nice if soz could join us.
Thanks everybody for your definitions--even knowing the real one, I'd be tempted to pick one of yours. Of course, during a senior moment, that could actually happen!!

Oh, man, I was so close!!!!!!!

I think I was actually online before this was posted but I didn't get here yet.

Phooey.

Ah well, it made my day to see that I "raise the bar".

Soz, you can still vote!

Going against the traditional "don't vote for the longest definition" advice, I'm voting for lucky #13. (It is March 13th after all.) Great definitions everyone...

Hmm, lots of similar choices here. My guess is #2 (but I admit #13 also had appeal).

And I forgot to say THANKS for waiting for me. That was really sweet.

Mulling...

I've no idea so pondering longer won't help: I'll go for #6.

"At 17 I learned the truth" - Janis Ian.
"She was just 17, you know what I mean" - John Lennon
"Please Mister Please-don't play B-17" - Olivia Newton-John


Despite Olivia's pleadings, she's outnumbered by Janis and John. I choose #17.

I'll go with lucky #13. So many good ones to chose from.

hmmm...... these are all great definitions.....

I'll choose #15.

Its between #8 and #2 and #13, but I'll go with #13 too.

I really like 16 but I'm going with 17 cos its my lucky number

Gosh. Good definitions. I'll try #3.

#13 for me firstthought


#14 for me Taffy La Blanc


This took some divining with a pin and some mathematical averaging

ft

Majority rule...I'll go with #13

man, if it's not the right answer someone's going to get a lot of points!

NUMBER 17 IS CLOSE
NUMBER 6 HAS POTENTIAL
NUMBER 13 GETS MY VOTE THOUGH

I'm trying to choose between 8 and 6. Hummmm..... I'll try 6, although I have no idea whatsoever. Great definitions

And for Cheshire, he says it's obviously #14
