That's what I thought originally, naturally. Perpetually. But I see I was precipitous. Thanks, TEd

I say " G ". And I don't have to explain why because it's my birthday and I can say whatever I please.  39 candles burning bright.

A Heisenberg vote! I'm uncertain which answer it applies to. I think I'll let it sit in its box until the very last minute, and then take j-u-u-s-t a peek... Edit: No, you dummy, that's a Schroedinger vote! (Harumph.)

 Really jackie, we are having an important Hogwash here. Honey; if you've got a vote to cast then go ahead and cast it, otherwise, as the ASP might say, you and Shanks should just go and get a room.

Uh Hogmaster, I think that maybe TEd is being subtle again.
"que sera sera. And I will not change my vote!"
I think that TEd has cast his vote for "B" no matter what "B" might "B".

You know your problem, tsuwm? I'll tell you your problem. You pronounce "que" like a "K", like the french.

'Scuse me, Milo. Being how as you've voted, maybe you should move along. Get you your own room. I'm sure tsuwm will be along shortly. You just wait patiently for him.
Now, having got rid of that, I'll B.
And that's ASp, thank you very much, not ASP

Acronyms and upper cases aside, I vote for J (spawning salmon, in case there's any confusion).

G, what a tough choice.
My favorite is I, but just for a laugh; it rains a lot in Central Florida.

Well, no, the points don't matter, but the authors like to know whether their carefully-crafted efforts have snookered anybody...
...so did you want to vote for I or G, or should I pick for you? (you can vote for the answer you think is the right definition, or for the one you think is the cleverest/most outrageous, or for that matter completely at random if you like - that's your call)

Although my post was intended (primarily) as a pun, I regret that it caused confusion.
The option hereto known as "G", otherwise referenced as the seventh is hereby deemed my singular and most definite choice.

Stipulated.
Any other voters in the holding pattern? You don't have to have submitted a daffynition to pick a favorite!

Whew! Sorry I'm late but I have been detained for a few days by the authorities. If you please, please register my belated but proud vote for "G" . I am told by people who know that it is a sure winner.

I think that's everybody we're likely to hear from. And now, the results you've all been waiting for [drum-roll]: ONAPPO: a) an extremely potent retsina wine from northern Greece -- submitted by TEd Remington -- chosen by consuelo, Jackie b) a North American Algonquin Indian ceremony commonly known as a spirit or vision quest, later maintained by their descendants -- submitted by musick -- chosen by Faldage, tsuwm c) someone to be avoided: Ornery, Nasty, And Pretty Pissed Off -- submitted by consuelo -- chosen by no one d) a Sephardic Hanukkah dish similar to latkes, but made with rice instead of potatoes -- submitted by AnnaStrophic -- chosen by musick e) engaged to be married (Irish slang) *-- submitted by GallantTed -- chosen by no one f) a musk hog, until 1975 known only to Paraguayan Indians; pictured here. (The GUARANI language has only UPPER CASE.) **-- submitted by themilum -- chosen by pennyless, with an honorable mention by belMarduk g) ventriloquist monkey (from South America) -- Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, 1913 edition; the correct answer -- chosen by the(happybirthday)milum, ParkinT h) former trade name for an Australian sticky sweet, now generic for any messy candy eaten/demanded by children -- submitted by shanks -- chosen by etaoin i) Original Natural Alliance for Perpetual Precipitation in Orlando -- submitted by ParkinT -- chosen by TEd Remington (whether he knows it or not) j) spawning salmon (Ojibway) [pre-edit i] -- submitted by Elizabeth Creith -- chosen by belMarduk, AnnaStrophic k) a large rodent of Central America [pre-edit j] -- submitted by Faldage -- chosen by Elizabeth Creith, Aramis11 ============================================ * (re: e) A note of explanation from GallantTed: “Howya -- We had a little chat about this one beyont in Slasher's jint and we all concored umnaniously that it's defanately somethin ta do with been engaged ta be marrayed. Eg - someone might say "Did ya hear that Miss So n So has got herself onappo-ed ta a fierce lovly fella alltagather!" Cos ya know when yer in the loo - or is it the john ye do be callen it - it's sed ta be engaged. And when ya first go ta the loo as a young fella, it'a on a potty, which is also called a po - so yer onappo, ie - on a po. Now at this stage, I'm not too sure where the exter P comes in, but I'd like ta strenthen me case by pinten out that when ya get proposed ta, ya usually say "yes" and onappo backwards reads oppano ie - opp a no, ie - opposed ta no, ie - yes. So in conclusion, onappo means ta be engaged ta be marrayed.” ************************ ** (re:f) I think the picture is really a Chacoan peccary. (Confirmation, milo?) D’ya think maybe he looks a bit like a kiwi bird? No, I guess not; the head's too big. ============================================ Last Hogwash of 2006 ! Apologies to anyone I've slighted by clerical error, and thanks to everyone for your fancies, your thoughts, your comments, even your cavils and your snickers, but above all your smiles. And a happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous New Year to all (with emphasis on healthy) !

I should parbably only get 1/2 the points as the actual submission was...
a North American Algonquin Indian ceremony commonly known as a spirit or vision quest later maintained by their descendants in the Cheyenne tribe. (something like that)
... and I'll bet that would've turned one of you's away.

Well, mebbe, but I didn't think the Cheyenne were descendants of the Algonquin, so in the interests of promoting Maximum Snookery I exercised HM's License and left that part out.  (With the desired result, apparently, I might add.)
