Hugo's drawing tool wins in a walk with 8 natural points, making Guerri the real winner this time out. I found the word when looking for odd words used to describe collectors for a trivia quiz, and this one really leapt out for sure! Wayne gets 2 dealer points for his lost def. Now off to tend Mathew (our five year old grand nephew).

Hi Dave,

> Hugo's drawing tool wins in a walk with 8 natural points

I saw that one coming from miles away! Thanks, all, for voting for my old
spirograph game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph in case you don't
know it), for that game was what inspired me to submit my def.

New word up shortly.

Best, Hugo

Not wanting to take votes away from anyone, but I believe Toni Savage
voted for 8 and 9, not 1 and 9. Giving me 6 votes instead of 5.

Guerri
