Tim Lodge

April 5th, 2016, 03:04 PM

Your fevered imaginations have produced 16 defs of the word PRYELLE to add
to the one which came from my dictionary. Please vote by public reply to
this message for the two that you think most likely to be true, or just the
two that amuse you the most, before the deadline of:

10:00 CEDT on Thursday 7th April
or 09:00 BST for the dealer
or 08:00 UTC
or 4:00 AM EDT
or 1:00 AM PDT
or 18:00 AEST in Melbourne
or 20:00 NZST in Wellington

New players are always welcome to join the game at any stage. Just don't
look up the word before you vote.

-- Tim L
