Or either 5el Mousekwitz if you pronounce Doc C's submission with something other than an Aussie or some variety of UK accent. I was thinking more pirate-ese, though South African might come closest...

No, it sounds like neenevay or ninnevay. But to complete coffeebean's animalfarm : ca9 , falco9, hye9, halco9, leo9. Could we hit the
finale: 10 ? There's lots and lots of them.

We pronounce it nin eh vuh in these parts...
I think some of those have the "een" sound at the end, not "ine", but I'm not sure which, and I gotta run...

BranShea remarked parenthetically, "Hog seems to have passed away." I would happily offer up one of many obscure words that I have at hand; but the last time we had a game of hogwash® here there were only five(5!) players, and 8 the time before that. this cuts into the fun, and is discouraging to the hogmaster, no doubt. (Jackie?) just for reference, here's a link to a favorite round from the past: cilli (14 entries) edit: speaking of "all tolled", which I used pointedly in that link (and it's not that often that I expand/expound on my quirky comments); I seem to remember another post from the distant past where someone asked about the use of "all tolled" versus the more usual idiom "all told". the answer he was given (and I'm sure he's long gone and there's little chance he'll ever see this), as I recall, was that he should LIU in an eggcorn data base. while arguably a correct answer, this would have been a more helpful and more interesting one: all told

Hey, doc, that's cheating! And very clever cheating, at that!  is discouraging to the hogmaster, no doubt. (Jackie?) Nah--I just figured it wasn't the time to have a round. However, I've not run one since! But all poled, I'll go along, sure.

Yes, maybe it would be useful to ask a PM from interested partipants before you start any work on it. And maybe it is not the right moment. Originally Posted By: Faldage

He woke up and shook his head. "Where am I?" he asked the space around him. Memories swiftly came flooding back, and he realised he had died. "That still doesn't answer the question", he mused. Then, he recognised the familiar refrain of his favourite song and screamed out in happiness, right in the middle of the chorus...

Back in the 50s Alfred Bester wrote a very fine science fiction novel titled The Demolished Man, about a community with telepathic members (but only some). He wrote with an extended-yet-compressed alphabet: "1/4maine" for Quartermaine, "@kins" for Atkins. That was only presented in the serialized version (Galaxy Science Fiction, AIR) and was expanded later in the novelized publication. Too subtle for the general public, was always my interpretation.

"He was in the lair of mighty Ceridwen, the sorceress, and in here, he knew well, he could only leave when Ceridwen allowed him to leave."
Which in fact was never.
He had to drink Ceri-24-ever.
