the voting week ends at midnight tonight and I still lack votes from
-teD,
-Flatlander,
-Sparteye.
I'd hate to have to extend this torture any longer.

Bingley, why don't you get the next round started?!

I sincerely hope it's not too late, TEd.

I guess that closes out the (extended) voting, as Sparteye took time out from her busy schedule to tell me she didn't have time to vote(?!). now I'll need some time to compose some clever closing remarks.

(but it wasn't P)

I just thougt that I should mention that the wrong choice I made in this instance was influenced by the fact that I though the word was fiCCum, not fiGGum. But for which, I would have of course voted for (f).

I really do need a new pair of glasses. [squinting -e]

Miracle of miracles, I got this one right, and all along I thought it said "REEF KNOT," rather than figgum. Had I read it correctly I would certainly have guessed B.

Ah, and me, oh, my, I, too, misread the entry as figbit and placed a logical vote for g.

Oh, that's right. I entered a definition for figgum...never mind. I'll stop fibbum. But, heh, I got a vote! I got a vote for my entry! Oh, joy!
