Unfortunately, Jim is right. I am ahead in the rolling scores. In view of the
holiday weekend in the U.S., I'm going to stretch the deadlines a little.


The word for round 1909 shall be:

+
++
+++
++++
+++++ VYCE
++++
+++
++
+

or vyce, case being irrelevant. If you know the word, notify me of your DQ
status as soon as possible.

Please send your made-up, fictitious, fallacious or hilarious definitions to me
by email at hello * isanybodyhome.com before the deadline, below. If you're new
to the game and are interested in playing, do NOT look up or google the word.
Instead, read the rules in the Coryphaeus Yahoogroups file area or the sticky
messages in tapcis.com's The Parlor section.

The deadline for definition submissions shall be:

Sunday, 08:00pm EDT 25-May-2008
Sunday, 05:00pm PDT 25-May-2008
Monday, 01:00am BST 26-May-2008
Monday, 12:00pm NZ 26-May-2008
Monday 2008-05-26 0000Z

Best of luck on the round

I suspect that this is an archaic spelling of vice (vise) and thus also may be a special kind of vice - my memory suggests a
cooper's vice for holding the staves of a barrel together while it is being made... If anything like this appears I shall confirm a
DQ

vyce: [Ger] 1. a wind which rushes down a river valley bringing freezing air from the mountains above 2. hence, proverbially, a
misfortune

Why on earth THIS should have come in as a binary attachment, I'll NEVER
know! About to have TAPCIS go back and fetch the message. <sigh>

Nice going, Johnny.

Based on the first paragraph above, Tony may wish to pick a new word. (I
think that it may be a good idea to do so.)
