Unless the problem was at GG and not here, I think I've solved it. We'll see. THIS attempt should be OK. ================================================== =============== Below, you'll find nineteen claimed definitions for SUGGILATE. Eighteen have been concocted by you and your fellow players. One is from an actual dictionary. Your challenge is to single out that one. You have two chances. Make your choices publicly, by direct reply to this announcement. Do so before the deadline below. If you're a brand-new player, just jumping into the game at this point: Yes, you can start to play right now. If you're not brand-new but didn't get around to submitting a def, no problem; you, too, may vote. BUT: If you suddenly realize that you recognize the real def, you must recuse yourself. DON'T do so publicly; send a personal message to my address. DEADLINE: Thursday, 20 June, 9 a.m. EDT. That's 8 a.m. CDT and 6 a.m. PDT. For those in England and the Netherlands, 2 and 3 p.m. respectively. And for our Victoria contingent, 11 p.m. Good luck! 1. juice. 2. to buzz; hum. 3. to tease or tickle. 4. to divine; to foretell. 5. to walk or move slowly. 6. to write or talk nonsense. 7. inability to swallow fluids. 8. (of fish) having mouth barbs. 9. to beat black and blue; also, to defame. 10. to vibrate at a continually changing rate. 11. any dry mixture that foams when moistened. 12. to misdirect, as by a magician or illusionist. 13. to clean a liquid by bubbling a gas up through it. 14. a French trademark for a fluid artificial sweetener. 15. to break into small chunks, as with stone into gravel. 16. [Geol.] of rock, tending to fracture along parallel planes. 17. to dispel mundane thoughts and distractions prior to prayer or meditation. 18. in a sitting posture; esp. of a quadruped sitting with the forelegs upright. 19. when asked for advice, to offer two or more alternatives but express no preference between them.

Strange formatting problem, that. It looks as though something is stripping
the <CR><LF> from your posting. Maybe one of the gurus will have a thought.
Just for a lark, I'm forwarding this instead of replying to see if the mods
I made to the original message take.

For my votes, I think I'll cast mine to the clever authors of numbers 4 and
18.
