I can't improve on the template Paul has included in the new version of
Cory. Hopefully I've fended off a screwup by removing my original def post from
the Google group, giving the opportunity to correct the list.

Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the 18 definitions for
FALDING presented below for your edification and entertainment. The
remaining definition is, believe it or not, real.

Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value (or values) of
"good" that seems appropriate to you (such as plausible, politically
correct, embarrassing, witty, implausible, long, or as chosen by a random
number generator). You can do this whether or not you have not submitted a
definition, and whether or not you have played before. You're not allowed to
vote if you know the right answer.

Vote by public reply to this message, by the deadline, which is on Friday,

I'll have to take the Scots. I also like the Amish bed making.

7 and 13, if thee please. Aye.

If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

A goodly lot. I'll try #4 and #17; as likely, or not, as any here.

I like 5 and 10 as this round's winnning answers. That's the wall
footing and the gaping.

Probably way too obvious -- and proof that I don't do enough crossword
puzzles <G> -- but I'll go with 3 and 4.

It's probably one of the typos, but I'll go for the owl and the wattle
and daub:

3 and 12 please.

12 and 13 are vaguely plausible.
