i feel like such a weenie for doing this but i'm going with 14. in a way i hope i'm wrong. the block-voting is not good but i really did look at all of the choices and narrowed it down to two or three options. was i influenced by the stampede to 14? perhaps. Johnboy
Won't we feel like fools when it isn't #14?
okay, so...
the following still haven't posted a guess, or I'm being blind and haven't seen it:
fealola
firstthought
littlek
Taffy La Blanc
also, Felix and Diane could still make a guess.
As things stand, I'm looking to make the cutoff noon PST on this Friday... naturally, it will be sooner if people make their guesses sooner. That's it.
Thanks for staying on top of it, thayett.
oopsie, didn't even realize the lost was posted!
I'll pick number 16, thanks!
Hi, thayett. A pm to the last two bluffers (and to Diane) could result in the round ending much sooner than Friday. You're doing well. Thanks!
I've been feeling very parapraxic today. It's hard to describe the feeling...since I have no idea what the word means. -johnboy-
<piercing whistle>
Anyone to home?
safecracker's back! (just saw him on two fitness threads)
safecracker's back in touch? Fantastic news!
It is 14.....I know it is
Thayet, thank you for being dasher and pleae forgive me for being soooo late.
Felix Noir is certain of #13.
My random pick is #15.
I'll go into anaphylaxsis shock if I'm right.
I'm in a fit of parapractic joy to see everyone gathering round again!
firstthought opts for #14
Taffy selected #16

Cool, thayett. Well done. Enough of this business of so many people jumping on the correct definition.
Let's try this one hosted by realjohnboy: LATRATION
congrats, equus, on a fine round. 5 pts puts you into a commanding lead. Thayett, please check first thought's score.
I'm shooting for 20 submissions this time, which would probably be a Balderdash record. I'm a quiet little southern boy...but beware; I can and will harass.
Welcome, McGentrix to this silly game. I know you from some of the political threads. I can't remember off-hand whether you rant from the left or the right. I'm glad you can join us in this diversion. -rjb-
Good job Thayett!
Good word RJB, pondering and scheming....
Thayet--many thanks for being dasher.
RJB--would latration have anything to do with using the latrine? LOL
