View Full Version : [Dixonary] Round 2721 - RESULTS - VAGITUS


Judy Madnick
June 30th, 2016, 04:42 PM
Everyone who submitted a definition has voted, so I'm sending the results now. If you notice any "goofs" or there's anything missing, please let me know so that I don't make the same mistake when I deal next year .

I had a good shot at a D0...until Johnny Barrs voted. The real definition was #6: A new-born baby's first cry.

Tim Lodge, with 5 natural points, is the next dealer -- but Tim is unavailable to deal. So Hugo Kornelis, with 4 natural points, is the lucky "winner."

Here are the results in table form. You may have to drag the bottom scroll bar to see the entire table. This is how I manage an entire round, so I hope everyone is able to see it well. And over to you, Hugo!

July 1st, 2016, 06:11 AM
Wow, that's unexpected. And a long time ago.

I am about to leave the home. My son is auditioning for his second year
of musical school, and my wife and I will accompany him. After that
we'll eat out with the family, so please be patient.

I should be back in about 9 hours from now. After that, I'll see if I
can dig up my dealing skills (should be buried here somewhere under five
years worth of dust), and then select and post a word.

Cheers,
Hugo

The thriller writer was having an identity crisis this Monday, because he
