Scores were low for this round, as not everyone voted, but we have at
least got a clear winner. Mike Shefler wins the next deal with 4
unnatural points for his felt tophat (top hat, top-hat?), with Guerri
Stevens and her extreme anger as the real winner with 3 natural
points. Mike Shefler and Dave Cunningham guessed that the real
meaning of STORGE was natural affection, while Johnny Barrs was DQ
(not for the first time).
Take it away, Mike!
