Any chance on getting a quarter point? It's a pity tsuwm never heard chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) passing by on a mountain trail. 'Trappel' BTW is the sound horses make with their hoofs (in Holland that is). (never trust your own language in a hogwash).

> 2sleepy, my - in reserve- def. was almost identical to yours, only the mash was from quince and crabapple. I almost voted for it and should have , too late , too late.
I fell for the half starving pioneers. \:\)

Congratulations Jackie, and thank you for a great hog washing.
I’m happy, (not laughing), to share 2nd place. I now fully realize that points do matter. Therefore, I think that those that received any quesses should get another half point. After all, they crafted definitions that were good enough to fool some of the cleverest people that I virtually know. If so, it will bring my average up to 0.07 points/game.

The pook.
Your's was indeed beautifully crafted and tempting but then I imagined the scene and had a fit of laughther, the apple tree , that rope and that hook . \:D
I shouldn't have mentioned it maybe. In the next round when I will have the usual five votes () I will put four of them on your account. Please don't thrapple me.

Yes Jackie, good round!

Pook: Quit whining! At least someone voted for yours! If it weren't for Jackie's kindness, I'd have a big goose egg...

Bran: Thanks for the (almost) vote. I'll try to make mine even better next time!

Jackie: Another this week? I think y'all should do this at least twice a month. :0)

Yes, thanks for that etaoin \:\)

Perhaps I would have returned the favour had you submitted a definition!

I don't normally function as hogmistress, so I think I'll leave the next round to the usual suspect(s). I just thought it seemed like it might be a good time to have a round, and judging by how fun all the definitions were, I'd say I was right--this was a LOT of fun!
