I'm sorry that I'm a bit later than planned in posting the results -
it's quite hard to do this sort of thing when you've got three small
children running round your ankles and a baby looking cute in the
background, not to mention the chickens to be fed and the dog to be
walked!

Two people declared themselves DQ on BAROKO after they saw the
defs. As two of you guessed, it's the logic term, number 16 -
apparently it's a mnemonic word, but I would be glad to hear from
anyone who can explain how the mnemonic works! Two players got 4
points, but Guerri Stevens got two of them for guessing the true
def, leaving her the real winner. Scott Crom wins the next deal with
4 natural points for his vicious street fighting def. (Do you
Americans know what a 'Glasgow kiss' is, BTW?)

This round seemed to go fairly smoothly. Collecting the votes is
the trickiest bit in the new environment, so I hope I haven't missed
any.

Over to you, Scott.

For those who drooled over the candy, the definition was fake, but I do
have a recipe for something similar. It was printed by a friend off a
web site. You can get it by going to www.kraftfoods.com and searching
for "Chocolate Holiday Bark". The only problem I have is the recipe says
to "break into 24 pieces" and I'm sure that 24 is not nearly enough!

Damn! Coulda sworn I voted, but I can't find the
message in my "sent" folder, so I guess I didn't.
