I didn't want to beg off the deal despite a planned trip out of town, and
by rights i should have been able to discharge my duties just fine.
I triple-checked all the def submissions from players. But i *zero-checked
*the correct definition from the dictionary.
There is a clear 'loser' in this deal, and that's me. If 'Dealah-is-god'
then i decree negative-20 points for myself.
Two players share the coveted Real Winnah spot: Tim Lodge and Daniel Widdis
with 5 super-natural* points each. * (no asterisk-encrusted correct
def points)
There is also a clear next Dealer, with a definition redolent of a priestly
'bustle in your hedgerow' so alarming even he was moved to vote for it. So
with 7 natural points, Paul Keating gets to follow this imperfect round as
Dealer.
Here, then, are the definitions with their author's names and vote totals.
Please accept my humblest of apologies - once again!
