I'm sorry to post this so late, but I had to attend a family Christmas party. Dinner was served late because my grand-daughter-in-law had to work at Walmart. Then there was in interminable time opening presents, taking pictures of the 2 toddlers opening their presents and finally I drove the 75 miles home. I prepared this report, then lost it in cyber-space somehow.
In any event here are the results which are probably wrong. I'm sure those who get slighted will correct me.

1. Lace-Carson. Votes from Bourne, Emery, Heimerson, Schultz and Shefler

2. Many-Crom. Votes from Lodge, Savage, and Shefler

3. Morse code-Hirst. Vote from Allen

4. Oboe-Shepherdson. Vote from Crom

5. Bite (noun). Webster's 3rd CD-Rom Votes from Cunningham, Keating, Muths

6 Silk-Madnick. Votes from Carson, Emery, Halman, Heimerson, Keating, Shefler

7. Hair style-Bourne. Vote from Muths

8. Gasket-Stevens. No Votes

9. Blunderbuss-Barrs. No votes

10. Chair-Allen Vote from Madnick

11. Workday-Savage. Votes from Carson, Kornelis, Lodge, Widdis

12. Ripe-Widdis. Votes from Hirst, Madnick, Schultz

13. Paste-Cunningham Vote from Schultz

14. Graveyard-Shefler. Votes from Allen, Barrs, Hirst, Savage, Stevens

15. Silence-Lodge Votes from Cunningham, Shepherdson

16. Kelp-Emery. Vote from Widdis

17. Payment-Abell. Votes from Barrs, Kornelis, Schultz, Shepherdson

18. Adhesive-Schultz. Votes from Bourne, Crom, Halman

19. Printing-Heimerson. No Votes

20. Wasteland-Keating.

21. Steamer-Muths

So Judy Madnick's natural 6 makes her the next dealer. The winners with 5 votes are Mike Shefler and Chris Carson.
Have Christmas fun, Judy.

I'm outa here.

Christmas Curm. It's now 5 minutes past midnight and it's

CHRISTMAS DAY. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.

Um...sorry. You're right, the results are wrong. They did not include
my votes, for one. Below I take the liberty of posting what I *think*
the results are, based on the info given. Note that Judy is still the
winner, and I'm the runner-up with 6 unnatural. If no one else takes
over for Judy, I'll see what I can do, but it won't be until at least
9 hours from now.

Hi all,

Just for the record - I *did* submit a definition, but Wayne must have lost
it along the way. Here are relevant quotes from my mail and Waynes reply:

>>Here's my fake def for morsure:
>>
>>
>> Any part of a rampart or parapet which deviates from the general
>>direction

>Hugo, I have your rampart.
>
>Wayne


Anyhow, I'll be leaving tomorrow for a holiday week with family and friends,
so I'll not play the next few rounds.

Seasonal greetings and a very happy new year to all of you!!

Best, Hugo
