Well, this round was destined for me to pick words that you all knew.
After two failed attempts with too many DQ's, I was quite hopeful that
QUONK would stump the lot of you. Alas, I was mistaken, as the
onomatopoeic word for a sound picked up on a live microphone attracted
no fewer than 8 of your votes.
Several of those votes poured in with the last voters, either a crowd
following the vox pop or, in Chuck Emery's case, possibly attempting a
tactical vote to avoid the deal. If that was the case, it backfired,
and Chuck has the honor of dealing Round 2487 with 7 points, including 5
votes for his subatomic particle. Paul Keating enjoys real winner
honors with six votes for his tiddlywinks foul.
All yours, Chuck!
