The winner of round 2315 is Mike Shefler, whose definition "a coarse linen
fabric, often dyed and used as wall hangings or dividers." earned a natural
8. If memory serves, I think Mike has been hitting every 3-4 rounds, of
late, so his dealer skills should be well-honed.

Jim Hart takes coveted second place with 5 points. Steve Graham is
runner-up with 4 points.

The true definition was 6: "a group of corals having calcareous skeletons
aggregations of which form reefs and islands" (Collaborative International
Dictionary of English v.0.48). With 6 perceptive players seeing through the
ruse, I may have found a completely new category of ignominy in which to
excel.

Even with the excellent help of Coryphaeus, I managed to bungle Bill
Bensburg's excellent submission “having fleshy cheeks or jowls”. Bill gets
TWO dealer points although I am sure he would have scored more.

Oh, and here's a surprise, John Barrs is a DQ.

Actually, no. But in looking at the list of recent dealers, I realized that
the most recent two were Mason and Dixon. Now if only we had a player named
Line . . .
