Balderdash

By the way, rjb, I agree that there's no point in rushing the game. There are so many of us on different schedules that it definitely has its own leisurely pace.

I'd just like to say that personally, I'm not looking for the spotlight! (That's why I spent all those years in the darkness backstage!)

Great job, mac11 (or macsm. When did you have the operation? I hadn't noticed). For the first time in a couple of rounds we managed to get a nice divergence of votes. Thanks for running a fine round.
Etaoin shrdlu, huh? That better be real, cav, not something from pop-culture like Klingon for "pop-tarts."

re: my name - Most people call me mac anyway. Jespah performed the outpatient surgery last week.

mac, please edit the scoreboard to reflect the points scored by cavfancier. We certainly don't want to scare off fresh meat, I mean new blood. The other scores look good to me. -rjb-

Done! Thanks, rjb. Sorry, cav!

Ha! I ain't scared of meat or blood...

Thanks Mac - deasil was a good word. And such organization!

Thanx, littlek!

Then what is the opposite of deasil? Counter-deasil?

Still seeking bluffs to post for ETAOIN SHRDLU...it will be soon...

Wow! that was a total guess! I feel a little guilty for getting a point without having any idea what the real definition was, but I'll take it anyway!

Cav, this is the weirdest word I've ever seen!

Have we stopped - do we need a push ?

I have submitted my bluff-sorry definition, what a giveaway , what's happening ?

I just realised several people have been at the Western Gathering and may stil be getting over hangovers, unpacking , catching up on sleep etc so please forgive an impatient person.

Doh! Will return soon...with submitted bluffs, etc...

No to worry, cav. This game is not noted for its speed!

Our symbol should be an erudite tortoise.

Hmm, how about:

The first one!
