lactating errrrrr, no, that's not right
latrating
Hey Margo, you fooled me this time, usually it's t'other way about - must be slipping....
Excellent round! I feel positively parapraxylized.

Harrrrrummmmpppphhhh!
Latration = latrine rationing!
johnboy is one hurting puppy this evening. This cat had, with Latration, what he thought was a clever word, meaning, "The act of yelping or barking." I thought I could add something like "...what a stupid chained up dog might do." No one, other than Felix and Tafffy would go for that ruse!
jespah's bluff was "The act of howling" and first thought's was "the howling of wolves..."
Under the rules of the game back on page 1, jespah and first thought each get 3-points and we start a new round with a new word and a new Dasher. I'll post the new scoreboard shortly but who is up next?
johnboy crawls away, hiding in the cupboard, quiet as a mouse. -rjb-

I think I got that right!
Hey rjb! You can take another turn if you're so inclined.
Excellent job at the dashing reins, thayett.
Golly, I got one right. Careful, the mountains may start crumbling into the sea.
johnboy gets over his funk and posts: UCALEGON.
That's the new word. Yes, indeed: UCALEGON.
Please let me hear from y'all. Thanks. -rjb-
hmmm... u-cal-egon...
University of CALifornia and OrEGON?
I dunno. Must go think.
Ucalegon: what a disobedient puppy does (you call, he gone)
Ucalegon, take me away!
<sliding into bubble bath>
U-Calegon, university for dishwasher detergent salespeople who don't spel too good.
Uhhh, didn't Jespah pick my bluff?
Hey, RJB, why did you switch from latration? Are u a collegion, or is you kale gone? Now I have to think again--so tiring....
So sorry, sometimes I just can't help it.

Individual, jespah picked #12. Are you saying that #12 was your bluff definition, not Peace&Love's?
my bluff definition was....
"A series of random curves forming a statistical pattern."
no one chose it.... it was #11
it was #11 on the original list, but it's #12 on the final scoring list.... oops....
so, we need to take the point off my score and give it to...?????
PaL
:-)
Yep, it seems that P&L will lose a point, and Individual gains one.
