Nineteen definitions are presented for your amusement. Eighteen of them are
wonderfully wacky creations of our players' imaginations. One came from a
dictionary. You may vote for two (2) definitions of your choice, as a
public forum message (in reply to this one), before the deadline, which is
9pm PST Sunday, November 30. That's Midnight EST Sunday, and 05:00 GMT/UTC
Monday.

2: Lewis Carroll nonsense word for a package.

6: an elevated enclosure on a golf course for television cameras and

7: a term used by fighter pilots for the hostile contact marker on the

8: 1. a magician's trunk. 2. any collectiion of tools and instruments

Well, someone is going to get my votes -- probably not the dealer.

Here are my guesses:

<< 7: a term used by fighter pilots for the hostile contact marker
<< on the
<< cockpit heads up display.

<< 15: in the United States Navy, the safe or vault used for
<< fail-safe codes.

Hi Daniel,

Avoiding all the bear references, I've singled out defs 3 and 4 as the
recipients of my points.

> 3: _nonce-word_ the apparatus of a spiritualist.

> 4: a slang name for an automobile radar detector.

Best, Hugo

I'll try #4 and, um, #11 (although I've no idea, actually what it says; but
that's true of a LOT of these).

failing that I'll add 15.

I can't even venture a guess so I'm going to pull RAND out of the storage
folder, dust it off and let it pick. And is says to cast my votes for defs
2 and 8.

I'l try

- 8 becuase it has nothing to do with radar or aeronautics, and

- 11 even though it doesn't sound at all RAFish, or at least not like
the RAFish chaps in the 1940s movie I watched the other night.

Daniel -

Excellent selection. How about?

3: _nonce-word_ the apparatus of a spiritualist.

and

7: a term used by fighter pilots for the hostile contact marker on the
cockpit heads up display.

Thanks,

Chuck
