I have it... here is the first page:
September 19, 1989
Once upon a time, there was some gossip going on in the
TAProom. This may not seem terribly unusual, but in this
particular instance one Neil Rubenking chanced to use the word
*propinquitous* and sparked to life the game of FICTIONARY in
the TAPCIS Forum. (See Appendix B).
Twenty-five rounds having been completed, this seems a good
time to look back over the dealers, the def's, and da woids of
the game so far. What you'll find here are the Words from
FICTIONARY Rounds 1 through 25, with the *real* definition of
each, and the top scoring fictitious definitions. (Note: the
definitions were selected based on the number of votes they
received, in some cases the Winnah of the round may not have
had one of the best vote-getters.)
So here they are, from KECKLE to ZEUGMA, in:
The FICTIONARY Dictionary (Abridged)
KECKLE [Theresa Carey - Round 1]
------
1) v.t. to wrap a cable with rope to prevent chafing.
2) n. (Scots.) a measure of grain, esp. barley, equal to three
gills liquid measure; orig., twice the amount held in two
hands cupped together.
MISTIGRIS [Anders Sterner - Round 2]
---------
1) n. a musteline carnivore of South and Central America, having
the upper surface of the body grayish-white and the lower dark
brown.
2) n. a joker, or blank card, used in a variety of poker.
3) n. an herb found in the Middle East, used in cooking.
RAMBUTAN [Howard Benner - Round 3]
--------
1) n. the bright red, oval fruit of a Malayan tree, covered with
soft spines, or hairs, and having a subacid taste.
2) n. (Heraldry) two horizontal bands extending three-quarters of
the way across an escutcheon.
BORELE [Toni Savage - Round 4]
------
1) n. a gas-filled spherical cavity found in volcanic rock.
2) n. the smaller of two rhinoceroses found in South Africa.
3) n. a slurry mixture of plaster and lime in combination with
horsehair and other fibrous filler to provide a scratch coat
for ornamental plasterwork; also a term referring to Coves,
Crowns, Friezes and decorative plaster reliefs of the French
plaster lathesmen.
4) n. the plastic or metalic tip of a shoestring.
THOOID [Neil Rubenking - Round 5]
