Well, that fat namaycush made a big, fat target at #2, drawing seven
perceptive players to the real definition. If the Dictionary could
deal, it would have won this deal. As it is, Paul Keating runs away
with the deal with 7 unnatural points. Runners up with 4 each are Dan
Widdis, Chris Carson and Tony Abell.

At least it’s not as bad as my 11 point wapentake.

Take this weapon away, Paul!
