For the better part of the day, I had visions of a D0 dancing in
my head, but then Chuck Emery did guess that an ELB is the
jujube, #2. The dealer for Round 1885 will be Chris Carson, whose
woman's linen head covering (#16) pulled a total of 7 natural
points. The "real" winner is Dodi Schultz, whose dual-lipped
pitcher (#8) pulled in six points.

Thanks to all who chipped in!

It's in your court, Chris!

I saw this one coming too but was holding out hope that Dodi would pick up
an extra vote or two or would vote for the real def. No such luck and here
I am on a road trip to Cherry Hill, NJ in the snow. A new woid will be
along as soon as I can get my act together.
