"does anyone else think maybe it's gone a little overboard?"

Yes, definitely. Only one form of speculation in between the voting really adds to the fun; when it serves to put everyone into more confusion.
This serious speculating isn't fun, though I contributed a line on the frampold cow.(scusi)
None of it influenced my choice though. I had already decided before Alex voted/commented. None of the 'materialistic' defs. were convincing and although frampold it seemed like some tool- like word, it could be a stuwm word of his rare olden times'collection.

I hoped for a surprise to shame all speculatering,
Alas, but it was a good difficult to get word and one to remember
for using.

(Yes, I vote for at most only some nonsense speculation in between)
Thanks for the round.
