Dear milum, You wrote: Remember what happened the last time you had the audacity to buck the authority of the Great tsuwm and conduct a Hogwash of your own......Yes, that's right...ninety-five per cent of the Hogwash regulars bolted the board and moved to Australia and the game was never finished.I have it on good authority that 91% of 'em have since then been kicked out of Australia and have come home waggin' their tails behind them. Don't think there's need to worry your big old haid 'bout that scene bein' played out again. I realize they took it real hard my asstsuwming tsuwm's role and all that, but their Australian experiences matured 'em and they be much more reasonable beings now consequently. I mean, if'n you're kicked out of Australia, that's a pretty soberin' proposition for near-'bout anybody. So, I think they'll look on my runnin' this hogwash round with a lot more kindness and compassion. And even if they bolt again--and I don' thin' they will--you have my promise to finish this round out. But I cain't guarantee no points for you. How many did you git las' round, fer instance? Bolt regards, WW, the sweet,

You can vote for A...or for B...or even for C....
But that's all we've got at this point.
You like shooting in the dark...or somethin'?

So far we only have three definitions, and one of them is the actual definition, so please send in one if you can think of one.
I think a Hogwash with three definitions would be very unusual.
However, if only two are sent in, I'll resuscitate OrionsBelt and Scorpionsting and one other sock puppet I've forgotten to write a few more. Now this would probably be upsetting to tsuwm. But what are you gonna do if there's a Hogwash that has so few definitions?
Thank you very much and have a nice day.
WW

Just got another definition. Hooray! We're now up to four entries, including the real definition.
Let's see, with Orion's, Scorpion's, and whoever that other person was [in case of emergency]--that would be a total of seven entries....
But, thinking positively, there's still six days to go.
Contest regards,
WW

Hip-Hip! We have just received (old Wordwind, Orion, Scorpion, and whoever the other one is) three more daffintions, so we're up to...seven, including the real one.
If, uh, three more come in, then we'll have a pretty good round to play.
Thank you, thank you, for the daffinitions submitted so far.
And we're all going to learn eventually the true meaning of prolate, a word we all need to throw around at the next social event.
Best regards,
WW

Just to let tsuwm know this round of Hogwash will be registered. We now have ten definitions; no sock puppets necessary unless someone's hiding beneath the fabric.
tsuwm: Are you now going to regularly feature a quiz on your email mailing? You know? Multiple choice every day? Do you miss running Hogwash that much?
And to everybody else playing: We have three more days for submissions--till as late as you want Sunday night. I'll post the round of entries on Monday, so send any other definitions to Wordwind via PM.
Best regards,
WW

>Multiple choice every day?
fwiw, wwftd evolved as follows
1) a word (that's it, just a word - ycliu)
2) a word with a basic definition (by popular demand)
3) a word quiz ('cuz I got bored)
4) the expanded version, with etymology OR citation OR exegesis OR sumtin'
I haven't run the quiz for a month of sundays -- the unsubscribes are already starting to arrive..
