Hey! You can't count me. I was double subscribed and you gave me a chance to talk back.

Well, sortof. When I wake up Monday morning, I'll start to put the round together into some kind of readable form--no edits other than spelling.
Anyway, the round will be posted here sometime on Monday, so, if you have a definition lurking around in the back of your head, bring it to the front, type it out, and send to Wordwind via PM.
Back burner regards,
WW

Last call for daffinitions!
Will post the round sometime tomorrow, so if'n you got a definitive viewpoint of what prolate could mean, send it on over to Wordwind.
Best regards,
WW

Dear Hog, mistress or master whichever you prefer, before I vote tomorrow, am I right in assuming that those who know the correct definition to the word "prolate", like capt and tsuwm, have "recused" (a legal term) themselves from participation?  So if I know the real definition and have not recused, will I still get two points? Post edit: Sure wolf-a-doc, lets hear you say "recuse" after plowing a ten acre field and five rapid shots of J.W.Dant. Hmmmm?

I tend to like to bend rules. Now this is what I would suggest to make the round more fun:
1. Seems anybody could vote--I think that's in the bylaws wherever they are.
2. If you already know the definition, then it seems a considerate thing to do would be to vote for something other than the real definition. Instead, be generous and vote for the definition you found to be most interesting. I mean, it's not like there's a big prize out there or anything.
3. If you don't know the definition, then you could vote either for the one you thought was the actual definition and get yourself a useless, but happy point if you guessed correctly... or: vote for one that you thought was clever
4. Sometimes, however, people vote for their own definitions as a kind of strategy to mislead the waylaid.
Should have this round up and running later in the PM.

well, since milum knows the word, all we have to do is wait for him to vote and then follow him, that way we all score!
