tsuwm and Capt Kiwi can vote, milum. I changed the rules--I think. People can vote for a definition if they know the real definition as long as they don't vote for the real definition. They can vote for the definition that they liked the best beyond the real one--you know, the definition that really should have been the definition. But tsuwm and Cap. Kiwi weren't aware of this hidden rule because I hadn't thought of it--and everybody would know they were voting for an incorrect definition. I guess in their case they could vote, but be given some allowance to vote either for the real one or for a fake. And mebbe they could vote last.
Which reminds me. We need a ballpark deadline. How 'bout Sunday night? And Cap. Kiwi and tsuwm could vote Mondayish.
Best regards,
WW

>But because tsuwm and Capital Kiwi knew that # 7 was the answer...
okay, we can *all safely vote for something other than seven (7) now.

My, my, this is the damnest game of Hogwash I've ever seen. Hogwash (by definition): a eye-gouging, throat-cutting, back-stabing game of lies, where rules are capriciously enforced by the Hogmaster, a hairy, smelly, brute of a man who plays favorites and takes bribes. I feel like one of the ladies in frilly dresses sitting in the cheering section at a pig denutting ceremony. Listen to these enfeminizations... I do so hope that I haven't left anyone out. But please do not give away which definition is the real one. ~ wordwind I'll take #2, please ~sjm Great stuff. ~ annastrophic, who has never said a kind word in a game of Hogwash since the name was changed from Washpiglet.  I likes 3 ~ fiberbabe Well played folks - another goodie. ~ fishonabike For sheer inventiveness I would have to go for 4, but my vote goes to 7 for taking the opportunity of bringing Buster Keaton into it. May I vote for both? ~ dxb. I'll vote for 5, just because no one's even mentioned it yet! ~ whitmanoneil I do feel pity and sorry for them (and I don't mean that in any kind of chinese prolative way) and so pose this question for their enjoyment. ~ milum (sweetly) And Cap. Kiwi and tsuwm could vote Mondayish. ~ Hogmaster wordwind "Mondayish"? There's no "Mondayish" in Hogwash.  Hogwash games end "At the death-stroke of Midnight" or, "whenever the Hell tsuwm or ted sez they end". Lordy, next thing you know men, points will be subtracted for our occasional resort to profanity - Gee whiz, tough bunnies, gee golly dern, and others. Damn! And as for you consuello, who can always guess milo's definition because of it's obvious nature, milo, meaning me, does not have a definition this game. My definition was entered too late. So there.  And as for you, Slithy Trove, you may be slithy but you are a treasure trove of important information. I knew that Everett Dirksen sang the haunting refrain "quite rightly" in the recording "Mellow Yellow", but I had forgotten that Bobby Kennedy sang the lead.

Now that, Mr M, should definitely be worth more than two dollars.

I am OFFENDED! I do NOT take bribes. Lagniappes, yes, but not bribes. The rest of the definition isn't bad, but bribes? OH!!!!

While you're blabbering about, you know you could have cast a vote while you were at it? Come on: These hogs like getting votes...
Yours truly,

You are absolutely right. I like two. When I see the word prolate it makes me think of oblate, so this could be the opposite of oblate.

if it came to that, Ted, would you tell us how to tell the difference between an oblate spheroid and a prolate spheroid?
