I was SURE that the submitter of #7 would be the high scorer AND I
certainly never suspected that said submitter would turn out to be the
dictionary. Slugs have concealed vestigial shells? Mindboggling.
I mean, I've known a LOT of slugs. The backyard's full of them. They used
to eat my strawberries. I tried the traditional remedy, sinking a saucer of
beer in the ground near the fruit, theoretically enticing them to taste and
fall in and drown. New York slugs are smarter than that; they used the beer
to wash down the strawberries. I gave up on growing strawberries. Slugs
have oodles of slime. Some have pretty patterns on their backs. Secret
shells? Naaaah.
But I digress.
The word for round 1888 is:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
= =
= HASLET =
= =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you know the meaning--or THINK you do--please let me know, by direct
e-mail, right away. (New players: That would make you DQ, DisQualified from
guessing, and if there are too many DQs, I'll pick a new word.)
Otherwise: Send me your made-up definition, designed to awe, befuddle,
confound, and/or deceive the other players, no later than Saturday, 8
March, 10 p.m. EST (yes, we're still on standard, or winter, time then); I
THINK that would be 7 p.m. Saturday on the Left Coast, 3 a.m. Sunday in the
Mother Country, and 2 p.m. Sunday for Jim in Melbourne.
Send defs (and DQs, if any) DIRECTLY TO ME--NOT by automatic reply to this
group message, or you will be a laughingstock and other players will point
and snicker and you will feel like a complete idiot.
