I thought ABATIS would be a real fooler. Hah. Millie Morgan DQ'd; Tim
Bourne, Scott Crom, Tim Lodge, and Dick Weltz guessed it was that weird
barrier of stacked-up trees (#15).
Millie also garnered five votes for her wild virtuoso-snatching goose
(#12), but she's outranked in the rolling scores by the author of the
other high-fiver, Nancy Shepherdson, who thought up the soft silken
undergarment (#14).
So: Nancy tossed the deal to me last round. Turnabout, they say, is fair
play.
Further details below.
