I'll take "H" even as it *sounds similar to a different creative def. in a previous episode.

Bummer  I missed my chance to play "submit a definition". I choose "I", too.

A FRIEND WRITES:
Dear Hogmaster: will you please transfer my selected definition to the Hogwash thread as I am reserving my 1,000th post for my acceptance speech for winning this latest Hogwash game. I know that my selection is correct in that my own entry was somewhat similar and as such was not posted by you for that very reason.
Let it be known that me, themilum, votes "K". "K" as in "kenodoxy"
NIGHT LIFE

NORTHSIX (66 N. 6th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718-599-5103) Friday, the Texas combo Gorgeous George and the Moral Dilemmas deliver their trademark blend of bombast and simplicity.

Alex,
I know that this goes against the very grain of the fine traditions and hearty comradery of the Great Game of Hogwash; but, will you allow me to rescind my vote for k?

Well, now that Milo has stuck his foot in it again, I'll cast my vote. Rather than voting for the correct answer (after all, how boring is that?) and since it has already gotten at least one vote anyway, I'll cast my vote for what I think is the most creative of the daffynitions. I do like E, but it has certain structural problems that preclude my voting for it. H is also good, almost good enough to vote for, but I think I'll go with the swing vote, D.

My general approach to Hogwash is that the points don't matter and everybody wins, so as long as you don't vote for F, which is the actual definition, then you may either change your vote or simply cast another vote. This latter option requires that you send me graft via PayPal to the tune of $20. PM me for details.
