The previous Poster was Marty, who was cruelly lumbered with the word "improper", and did an oustanding job, getting to 9 points, helped by three wrong guesses. To give you an idea of how tough that was, Marty informed me, afer casting nasturtiums on the legitimacy of my parentage, that the word improper had only been used 6 times in the last year in any forum at AWADtalk , and that he and I had both accounted for one of those six times. Marty's away for the weekend, so we shall all have to wait for his return before the hunt can begin anew.

Max, I like the nasturtium/aspersion allusion! So much so that I was trying to think up another inane little poem. But--what in the world rhymes with nasturtium??

But I have to admit that one of my postings was improper! In my exuberance I posted the first one in Q&A, which doesn't count (doubly bad - no score plus a hint to give me away). I've asked mav to amend the scores to Marty - 8 and Max - 11+4=15 (and in case you missed in the PTP thread - the game is on again) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Changeover #17904 02/08/2001 8:19 PM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 347 Melbourne, Australia Marty enthusiast Marty enthusiast Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 347 Melbourne, Australia ------ANNOUNCEMENT------ Jackie has just been sprung over-using the word "necessary", a total of 10 times by my count. Scores will be updated after verification by the stewards, and Jackie will announce the re-start. Well done Jackie, and good luck to the next Poster when you receive your mission briefing.
