I don't know which it IS, but I know which it OUGHT to be, and
that's one of the two I'm voting for, which are:

> 14: a double-reeded musical instrument of western Africa,
> resembling the bassoon

and

> 18: A spirit popularly believed to inhabit the Louisiana
> bayous who grants wishes to those who make offerings of
> painted fish bones.

Yes, but John Barrs did too, and when he doesn't DQ he's right a good
proportion of the time.

Call me a lemming if you like. :)

Who could resist brain soup or fossilized excrement? If one of those
isn't the real def, then it should be.

7 and 10

Perhaps I should follow his lead...especially based upon my recent track record. <sigh>

Judy

[France International]

Who can resist brain soup (7). And that would inevitably lead to #12.

[Nancy Shepherdson]

I'll take the popular 11 and the not-so 18.

Nancy

[Russ Heimerson]

I think it sounds Cajun... I'll go for #13 and #18, please.

Russ

[Tony Abell]
