It is probably "e"; but I love "d" - it really ought to be the answer.
However, the ornate language of J
so appeals to me that it has to have my vote, right or wrong.

It's my middle initial, so I too will vote J - no doubt my vote will be supplanted by the correct answer.

I was gonna vote for hanging in effigy. So it's either f or g. And since I'd rather have a thread thread than a food thread I'll go with the former.
TEd -- who doesn't want the voting to be ineffable.

more details with tsuwm [passing-the-buck])
So is tswum Hogwarshed-up!!? I don't think he's warshed up. But I hope he warshed up before dinner. I think AnnaS means that I should contact tsuwm if I have any questions about the details of the game. I have consulted the Hogmaster General several times . . . WW too. They've both been helpful and encouraging. Yes, folks, I am keeping score. (I've got a little list, I've got a little list!)  Don't worry! Be Hoggy!

Thank You, AnnaStrophic. I've actually used something similar to markup on another forum so it wasn't hard to figure out this one.

Welcome, sheepishlion - your willingness to jump in the deep end of the hogwash makes me think that the second part of your soubriquet is more accurate than the first part! And perhaps we should warn you that a name like that is liable to excite certain members of this august company who hail from the antipodes and a certain province of the UK!
