Despite waiting an extra amount of time for the last expected vote, it never
came, so I'm wrapping the round up. Mike Shefler racked up 6 unnatural points
with his celery definition, and is the clear next dealer. Steve Dixon is the
runner-up and real winner with 5 unnatural points for his filtered definition.
Five players guessed the real definition of culrage: a synonym for smartweed,
which is apparently a dumb but painful herb. Nancy's definition went awry over
the Internet, and she gets 2 dealer points for bad luck.

Take it away, Mike!

"You think that a wall as solid as the Earth separates civilization from
barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass."

-- John Buchan (1875-1940)
