[Yugoslavian] Ha! Heavy crusty bread, seasoned veal, pork patties. I said I would not vote and won't but I did not say I would not comment. This is a real humpback whale.  Reaching far beyond the hunch Can't help to to have a severe giggle whenever I see it.

I like g) but I don't trust a definition that includes a word I have to look up (kyphotic). So I'll join forces with the birthday girl and vote for J.
Damn the armils, full speed ahead!

the above indicates ballots received to date from our contributors, (plus one improperly marked ballot from BranShea, I think she unvoted for h but the antecedent is ambiguous).
results will be posted early on 10/31, come hell or high water.

I couldn't help but notice that I haven't voted; and since this is a special event, I'm going to go against all precedent and cast my own ballot. I really like g, because of the word kyphotic.

Folks, this is just about as crazy as it gets!  tsuwm - the Hogmaster who selected the Hogwash word for us to guess - is now guessing which one of the ten definitions is the one that he chose. Is this legal?

the above indicates ballots received to date from our contributors in light of Hydra's reaction, one can't help but wonder what alternate interpretations are available?? - ron o.

wouldn't one have to advertently equate "contributions" with "ballots" to make such a leap?!

Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

Yep, I checked my wwftd. Not from impatience, mind y'all, but it's there in my mailbox. Like Mt Everest, on an admittedly smaller scale.
What I'd like to know, before finding out who the a) perp is: what other kind of spine is there besides dorsal?
