Apologies for the slight delay, due to a bad choice of deadline on
my part. Now that Brazil have beaten Japan 4-1, I can post the defs!
Here we have 20 imaginative defs of the word WATCHET. Vote for TWO
definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one),
before the deadline, which is going to have to be a bit extended
because of my commitments for Saturday. The deadline is:
13:00 BST on Saturday 24th June, which is
12:00 UTC/GMT
8:00 AM EDT
5:00 AM PDT
and 16:00 Delta for Dan, all on the same day.
New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this
round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious,
are at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/coryphaeus/files/Game%
20Rules%20and%20Advice%20for%20Players/
Happy voting!
