As a reformed Hurried Hogmaster who has suffered the slings and arrows of the mobs of frustrated would-be submitters, allow me to step in and say right off the bat that the current exchange rate is such that a Canadian sennight is equal to five U.S. days, hence the opening of the voting phase today.
That said I have no earthly idea what sweek is, so I'm going to have to guess. Matching the unknown sweek with the subject I am least familiar with, I cast my vote for D.

Going with b) and hoping e) is entirely fictional.

I thought it was just me, although my thoughts have been elsewhere.
B, D, and F are the onliest ones that attract me.
B) Scorp sounds as made up as sweek. Whether that's a plus or minus is beyond me right now.
D) This one has the advantage of being terse.
F) What the F. That's what I'm going with. F

Me? I like playing cropped Hogwash. Reduce the options, increase my chances, is the way I figger. This is my moment, which I glady share with Faldage. F is for Faldage, F is for Farfetched, and F is for that funky little trigger that is used in traps. Me? I vote F.

Never heard of it. I contributed nothing to this mess. But I'll pick F 'cause it sounds like something that could be real.

My pleasure, Faldage, but this time I think that you'll be pleasantly suprised. Don't tell but I looked it up in a "Southeastern Trapper" magazine. But hey, I don't even care if Hogmistress Lizzy throws out my vote for cheating. My joy will be your joy in getting something right for a change.

E.But I would appreciate elucidation of what exactly a toby bitch is. I've heard of a toby jug, but never a toby bitch.

Like Faldage, I was tempted by the terseness of D, but unlike him, I've been seduced by the florid pretension of BSo, just as it was for the handwringing, ever-whining Dane, to B is the answer.

I vote for number G, just because it's so improbable.
(as opposed to number C, which is just impudent/imprudent.)
