I was going to post the results early after all the players who had submitted
definitions had voted, but stuff intervened. At any rate, Steve Dixon and
Efrem Mallach are tied for second place and may heave sighs of relief as the
real winners. Chris Carson earned 6 unnatural points for his tree surgery
verb, and richly deserves his fate as the next dealer for spoiling my chances
at a D0 by guessing the real definition.
Take it away, Chris!
