EDIT: We have a winner! Thanks to Jazzoctober's input!

Shiverbabe is the winner of the round.

Everybody who entered has voted, so I guess the ghastly results should be posted. Curiously enough, the ASp entered the actual definition of gemebund, which was moaning, a very nice October adjective and I again apologize for having identified the part of speech. The results are below with a four-way tie. Edit: Nope, it warn't no four-way tie; Shiverbabe won!

I have taken the liberty--in the spirit of the season--of disguising the entrants' names:


1. having the color of a pumpkin; dark yellow-orange.

Jazzoctober receives one vote = one point

2. gemebund ( alt. sp. gemebun'd): having precious or semi-precious stones embedded in the buttocks area, sometimes in conjunction with an arrangement of tattoos. ...a definition worthy of Dr. Bill

slimy toves receives two votes = two points

3. of or relating to a finish for wood that employs an elastic polymer to ensure a dent-proof bond.

TEd Tremblington receives 0 votes = 0 points, but, hey,
you’re Anagram King Tremblington!

4. pretty with a dash of plain, comely.

Witchonapike receives 1 vote = 1 point

5. Moribund.

Whitman O’Leer receives 0 votes = 0 points…mebbe we shoulda entered your anonymous daffinitions!

6. Of or pertaining to two mythic twin snake-like familiars of the Hopi indians; their mythical names latinized by catholic priests. Desiring a symbiotic relationship with the snake, the shaman allowed the great snake to wrap itself around his upper torso and attach tendrils deep into his body. The gemebund familiar (l. geme > twin) would always bring great wisdom to his shaman host, but a moribund (l. mori > to die) familiar would grow fat feeding from the soul of his host until, and even after, the unfortunate shaman's death.

miglum receives one vote = one point

7. foggy or misty.

Shiverbabe receives 2 votes = 2 points

8. from the Latin, becoming increasingly valuable.

Fangdage receives 0 votes, but thanks, Fang, for playing!

9. moaning, groaning, whimpering [L]: the gemebund wind sent shivers
down her spine.

AnnaShriektic receives 2 votes [and her definition also was the real
definition, therefore she receives…= 2 points Shiverbabe correctly identified the correct definition, so here's where she nailed her win, having already received two points for her daffinition.

10. capable of (and actively in the process of) splitting into two parts (like that infernal broom in the Sorcerer's Apprentice); from geme-, from gemini (twins)

WereWolfaholic receives 2 votes = 2 points


So, it looks like a four-way tie among Slimy toves, Shiverbabe, AnnaShriektic, and WereWolfaholic. You’ll have to find a little bitty knife to divide the piece of candy corn
that’s the prize for this round.

Nope, it warn't no four-way tie. I did not think to add in Shiverbabe's point for identifying the correct definition.

So: Shiverbabe, with three big points, gets the whole piece of candy corn. Congratulations! Send me a self-addressed stamped envelope, Shiver for your corn.
