Hi all --
Sorry for the late post -- I was on a magazine deadline today and just
got done a few hours ago. Of course. It's dixon time.
Anyway, here are 19 astounding and confounding definitions for
kankedort, only one of which is real. Please vote for the two which
spin your gravy and we'll soon have a new, non-interim dealer.
Deadline for votes 1 p.m. EDT Thursday September 18. As before, those
not in the eastern U.S. are left to their own devices to calculate
their own time zones.
Go for the kankedort of your dreams!
