Yep, the first one. Gotta love it. I think my Dad has those glasses.

Who took my picture when I wasn't looking and those aren't MY glasses !! Hrmphhhhh

K, it's my first dash...hope it isn't too easy.

#7 please

My definition didn't make the cut!

Whoops, neither did mine!

No worries, I made some edits (no copyright infringement suits please ), had a phone call when I first posted...so the list was indeed incomplete...my apologies...the right answer may have been left off the list.

I choose Lucky #7.

hmm. So many Welsh references. Y'all must be on to something.
I hitchhiked through that beautiful country years ago and later, when I lived in South Africa, I had a housemate from there. "Welsh Tony" was a cabinet maker, a true craftsman. I recall being at a reception of some kind and someone casually said to him, "...so you are a carpenter?"
Tony's back stiffened quickly and he rose up to his full height of 5'7" or so. With his fists clenched at his side and his eyes flashing, he snapped back "Iainanowudbucha!"
I was about 5' away, saw that, and have never forgotten that image. Don't know why.

I'm voting for #2. -johnboy-

Etaoin Shrdlu
firstthought goes for #12


Taffy opts for #14



Oh what fun it is to ad-lib

I vote for Smeggin #4

7 or 9? 9 or 7? 9+7?


Smeg it! 9

I'll vote for #5.

I think I'm already on record with a guess by private message, or do I guess again?

I got yer guess Equus

I think the guesses are supposed to be "public."

Okay, equus has to post a guess then....

Public guesses are fun. I always love to see how the animals voted, and then how much better they are at this game than I am. I think I'll go and say "Iainanowudbucha!" to the next person I see. This will undoubtedly be Mr. Jespah, who will once again wonder what the heck he's gotten himself into.

"Iainanowudbucha!"
