I'm gonna go for lucky number 7.
Balderdash
firstthoughts opts for # 13
Taffy La Blanc selects # 14 yummy , yummy.
Still waiting on a few votes before safecracker gets his chance!
maddy42 - do you still want to play? Feel free to vote.
Mac11, you're a sweetheart for reminding me. I do tend to be a bit forgetful.
Since I can't even remember my own bluff, I'll take a chance and vote for #1.
Felix votes for #4, in hopes that it isn't his own bluff.
Ok, safecracker, it's your turn to vote! And maddy42, you too. And anyone else who wants to is welcome.
It appears that safecracker hasn't posted in more than a week - I hope he checks in soon...
How long should we wait for safecracker? I know that this game is noted for its lethargic pace, but I thought I'd gently nudge us along, if possible.
Hmm, it's been 8 days since the bluffs were posted.
True, but I did tell him that he couldn't vote until everyone else had! So he wasn't able to vote until yesterday.
book-marking
hoping to remember to come back

Who wants to be the next dasher?
Well done, as usual, mac 11. Thanks.
Unless someone else feels an urgent desire to be the Dasher, I will take a turn before the retailing business gets (I hope) hectic.
Let's try JACULIFEROUS

So far I have heard from Jespah, Equus, First Thought, and Taffy. Plus a new player. Please give a welcome to Clary.
I hope that some more of y'all will submit a definition for JACULIFEROUS in the couple or three days of calm before the holiday weekend. Thanks.
-rjb-
Thanks for the welcome, rjb, it was jaculiferous!
Clary, that's a very jaculiferous avatar you have there. I think. :-D
Anyway, welcome to B'dash!
Thank you Jespah, you look very cuddly yourself.
Is it a Staffordshire bull terrier in that lush grass?
