Here we go:
a.) A punctuation fubar. For example:
A woman without her man is lost.
A woman; without her, man is lost.
b.) n. Biol. (cellular) material similar to chromatin, most often found in mitochondria.
c.) NOUN: Logic A syllogism in which one of the premises or the conclusion is not stated explicitly.
d.) a cultural fashion which has gone extinct
e.) a mood-altering phrase
f.) Christian theology the cultural basis for Christian love.
g.) A request to be infused with herbs.
h.) (noun): Any idea or narrative present in a person's mind prior to birth. Synonym of archetype.
i.) defective wing casing, particularly in chirping insects such as crickets
j.) one of a collection of poetic devices intended to evoke a visceral reaction from the reader.
k.) what the bound and gagged prisoner says to his/her rescuer
l.) The stem of an individual floret in the center of a yellow composite.
m.) a state of collective temporary amnesia.
The hogmistress, after some thought, deigns to give the entrants' names: AnnaStrophic, Aramis, BranShea, consuelo, Elizabeth Creith, Faldage, olly, R. Eastcourt, shanks, themilum, tsuwm, wofahulicodoc, and a dictionary. The hogmistress did not enter this one--she already has enough to think about at the moment.
So--cast your-all's votes by the end of the day on the 29th. The end of MY* day, that is! Midnight for me, EST, equals 5 a.m. on the 30th., GMT.
*She said, taking tsuwm's statement that hogmistresses/-masters can set their own rules!

I am not out of town or in jail. I am withholding my vote until later because I don't want anyone to copy mine.

Alex! Darn, where have you been? I really wanted a def. from you! Thanks for voting, though!
FTR: I thought this was an excellent bunch of definitions, and very difficult to pick out the right one.

Isn't J the same as E, which (sadly) should eliminate them both...

There is a difference. e.) is perfectly understandable for amateurs ( m e ) and j.) is for professionals.
To avoid misunderstanding I 'll make my choice now:
No woman or man is ever lost as long as their souls aren't lost; so I'll turn to the faith.

Didn't have to look it up. Consuelo told me...over and over and over... Don't feel put upon, Eastcourt. Misses Consuelo has mental lapses when she forgets that she is an obligatory dues paying member in moderately good standing of this illustrious board.

I always try to be as obliging as possible. I see now that her response in this thread is an indication of a real malady as opposed to a cute li'l post. I'll try to be more sensitive.

Nice try and an awesome result R.E., but that bridge color and setting can't be mistaken for any other bridge.  Are we living in a voter's void ?

Can my horses, dogs and cats vote too? I have a raft of dead relatives who would like to chime in. I mean, here's ones chance to be funny, punny, smarmy or smart-alecky and not have to worry about the result and how it affects your property taxes.

Does anyone have dibs on the next Hogmaster Administration? I have a good word that I'd like to offer up.
Anwyay, Jackie, work and fatherhood have made me an infrequent visitor to these parts. perhaps with the holiday season I will be around more often.

One more full day to vote, you-all. Though it will be more like two, as I have commitments for the morning and the afternoon of the 29th.

all right, I had my little joke in copying A's vote.
I really want to vote for H; but if that turns out to be the actual def'n, I really want to give my vote to the person who crafted C.

I was waiting to see how themilum voted so I could copy him but he got it wrong, methinks. I'll take "C" please.

Like Tsuwm, and some others, I will go for the C word. [deadpan-e]
Though G and K are sooo tempting. Words should exist for those. We need bigger dictionaries...
