I'm torn between N and R, but I have to reject N because the gut should be coel- instead of coen-. That leaves room for only one choice -
R it is !

An I for I, as well. Sometimes bad grammar is worth a bad joke, and sometimes it's not...  Embryologic foregut? Is that a googlewhack?
EDIT: No! 146 results returned - I stand corrected! I've just never had occasion to parlay that into my daily speech, I guess...

OK tsuwm...geez! You over promoted this Hogwash Redux and so now we've got too many definitions to consider and now you want to hurry us up.  All I ask is that you give us a high noon tomorrow deadline, and you know darn well that I'd do the same for you if you were lying in some strange gutter confused and perplexed.  Gee whiz!

Fun imagining you lying there with a computer hook-up though.

imagining you lying there [in the gutter] with a computer hook-up ~ WW
Yes WW, a sorta modern day Diogenes emailing tsuwm who is blocking the sun. Speaking of which...Many of you have emailed me, US mailed me, and otherwise mailed me, asking for tips on how to win at Hogwash. So while this foutaises d'un tsuwm is being unncessarily delayed, here's a quick tip... Hogwash is a game with only one rule: No player is allowed to look up the definition. Most players don't but some do. Those that do usually accompany their submission with an off handed casual remark like... (yawn) O'boy O'boy, just for the heck of it I think I'll go with definition __ . If you can spot one of these crooks you can pick up a couple of cheap points. This is not cheating. This is logical deduction and is allowed in all Hogwash incarnations. Good luck gang, I'll give you all another tip in a minute. ______

If I'm not too late...
I always thought there must be a word for that feeling, which is particularly strong if there is no seat left for you...so I must go for 'O'.

Hi, Consuelo...
Phlegm? White rabbitish? Hate to be dense, but, hey, I'm dense. What's the connection?
If you're feeling sick, hope you feel better soon.

CURLY: Nyuk! Nyuk! I'm hungry I vote for Q. Nyuk! Nyuk!
