Huh? Are you sure? Lovely prize, but the Pook deserves it more than I. And he will sit more comfortable on a pillar than on a pole. (well, it will be nice and quiet up there)
Maven will laugh too when she sees this. (Maven! it was the new style!)
(still can't believe this is the real defintion)
I remembered the story of Simon Stylites, an early Eastern Christian monk, who sat atop a pillar for about thirty years I think. I didn't know for sure that a Stylite was someone named after him, but figured that if it wasn't and anyone else knew of him from history they would vote for mine, but then when I was told that my definition was either close to the real thing or to someone elses I figured out that it really was the real definition, so, yes, as hogmaster said I SAT this one out! But it was fun seeing all the daffynitions. The one derived from Hoplite was especially clever.
