View Full Version : [Dixonary] rd 2386: Please vote for Molebut

Hi all --
Waited a little extra time, but there are still only 17 definitions this
time, including the real one. Maybe it will make it easier to find it.
Hope not. I'd like a D0 on my first deal after my return to the game.
There are players here that I'm meeting for the first time, and so I should
be nice to them, but, no, I'd rather skunk you all. (And that sentiment,
friends, will just about guarantee me a D11.)
Can't wait to see the outcome anyway, so please vote for your two favorites
by replying publicly to this post. Deadline is 4:30 p.m. Central time on
Wednesday March 6. Or 10:30 pm. GMT, same day.
So, start your voting!
Nancy

I cant resist a heartfelt pleas like that but choosing what to vote for is
more of a challenge.. I must say I like the idea of a totally variable size
keg - I mean, how big is a barrel in the first place? anyway I fancy
whiskey over beer so I'll choose one of the fish and the other barrel
that is #10 and #16 please

The kegs are tempting, but I'll go with 1 and 15.
(In retrospect, I'm glad I made the mistake of sending my fish definition to the group. Three fish definitions would have been too many.)
