This is getting to be a habit; but maybe the upside is that I will finally
get the hang of using the Dixomat program without so many hassles. At any
rate...

The word for this round is

************
* *
* XYSTER *
* *
************

As usual, no indication of capitalization or otherwise is implied.

New players are welcome. Don't look in a dictionary. If you know the word,
let me know soon, by email (if too many people know it, we'll pick another
word).

Think up a creative, intriguing, funny or genuine looking definition that
will entice your fellow players to vote for it. Send it BY EMAIL (not as a
public forum message) to me at _endash (AT) aol (DOT) com_ (mailto:endash (AT) aol (DOT) com) ,
before the deadline.

Full rules, if you're curious, are accessible at:
_http://groups.google.com/group/dixonary/web/dixonary-rules_
(http://groups.google.com/group/dixonary/web/dixonary-rules)

Deadline for your fake defs is:

Monday, November 16, at 4:00 PM EST or the equivalent in your time zone.

And best wishes to YOU, Tim! Sorry to be a bit late with this,
but I was out all afternoon and just got home.

(To whom it may concern: I saw the new film "The Fantastic Mr.
Fox," which just opened here this weekend. Not nearly as
fantastic, IMO, as the critics have made it out to be.)

Jane and I were hoping it would be a winner; but, judging by the reviews,
it's one for us to skip. We already got stuck seeing the Wild Things, which
was very disappointing.
