gafty, choose one:
a) that part of a mast remaining when the rest of the mast breaks off; the "gafty" must be removed before a new mast can be installed
b) sly; tricky; cunning; not to be trusted; mischievous
c) [fr. Gaelic] a gift
d) a person who is well known for not thinking before blurting out comments
e) the point at which the bowsprit attaches to the stem of a ship-of-the-line
f) indicating a tendency to make mistakes; clumsy
g) an arrow-like projectile, hurled by a throwing-stick; used by natives of prehistoric Scotland
h) [fr. gaffer, a glass blower] characterized by irregular thickness, as of blown glass
i) extravagantly embroidered trim for curtains and clothing; a style of rickrack with a more elaborate design
j) slang that which has been swindled, as by grifters
---
for those that think this provides an 'edge', the entrants are Faldage, ASp, BranShea, wofa, olly, Owlbow, Luke, Jackie, tsuwm and the UAD.

I think that all of the entrants have voted, in less than three(3) days! but, I'll leave the polls open a bit longer for any kibitzers that might care to vote.

Not a paradox but a logical conclusion:
I know I'm a D so I'll vote F.
Paradox: Either way I am a loser therefor I might win.

It's always too early to make a bad vote.
