A few hours have passed since the deadline, and I've collected all the
stray votes I could find. Tim Bourne and Mike Shefler scored 4
natural points each, and are also tied in the rolling scores. But
Mike is well ahead in the total scores, and thus has the honor of the
next deal.
Cooey (alternately spelled cooee or cooie) is indeed an imitative word
for an aborigine call. I regret the misspelling of aborigine, but I
did cut and paste precisely from
http://hyperdictionary.com/search.aspx?define=cooey and didn't notice
the odd spelling until voters pointed it out.
Russ Heimerson and Roberta Muths both guessed correctly, and Scott
Crom and John Barrs knew the real meaning and DQ'd themselves.
