tsuwm, could I prevail upon you to insert spaces between entries?

edit: Thanks, man.

I like F a lot.
Posted By: Sparteye Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 01:27 AM
I'll try K.

Posted By: Faldage Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 01:28 AM
I'll go for i

Posted By: Alex Williams Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 10:42 AM
I say n

Posted By: BankrollBets Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 02:19 PM
I'll choose j) minus the phrase "of clouds near sunset"

This effect has been known to lead to i)

Posted By: TEd Remington Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 03:32 PM
I agree with Alex - N

Posted By: WhitmanO'Neill Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 04:20 PM
Going with I...(because Faldage picked it, and it's the heart of nit. )

Posted By: dodyskin Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 04:43 PM
A, A , A, calm down, calm down

Posted By: FishonaBike Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/24/02 09:34 PM
All far too good.

Severely tempted by c (applause to the creator) but I just have to go for E.

Posted By: wofahulicodoc Hail, hail, the gang's all R! - 10/25/02 12:32 AM
I'm torn between N and R, but I have to reject N because the gut should be coel- instead of coen-. That leaves room for only one choice -

R it is !

Posted By: hev Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/25/02 02:03 AM
Well, I'll B as confused as all H E double hockey sticks.

Posted By: RhubarbCommando Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/25/02 09:11 AM
definitely "H"

Posted By: Fiberbabe Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/27/02 03:17 PM
An I for I, as well. Sometimes bad grammar is worth a bad joke, and sometimes it's not...

Embryologic foregut? Is that a googlewhack?

EDIT: No! 146 results returned - I stand corrected! I've just never had occasion to parlay that into my daily speech, I guess...


Posted By: Wordwind Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/27/02 10:47 PM
I wish it were A because we need a word for that, but my instincts tell me it's going to be K...

Posted By: bonzaialsatian Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/27/02 11:10 PM
Sorely tempted by E, but I think it sounds more like I.

Posted By: tsuwm Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/28/02 06:06 PM
..or, I can't keep the polls open forever, milum. (you too, musick, dxb, troubador and anyone else who wants to cast a pall.)

Posted By: bonzaialsatian Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/28/02 06:14 PM
anyone else who wants to cast a pall.
Cast a pall? That's rather morbid!

OK tsuwm...geez! You over promoted this Hogwash Redux and so now we've got too many definitions to consider and now you want to hurry us up.

All I ask is that you give us a high noon tomorrow deadline, and you know darn well that I'd do the same for you if you were lying in some strange gutter confused and perplexed.

Gee whiz!

Posted By: Wordwind Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/28/02 08:03 PM
In reply to:

Fun imagining you lying there with a computer hook-up though.

imagining you lying there [in the gutter] with a computer hook-up ~ WW

Yes WW, a sorta modern day Diogenes emailing tsuwm who is blocking the sun. Speaking of which...


Many of you have emailed me, US mailed me, and otherwise mailed me, asking for tips on how to win at Hogwash. So while this foutaises d'un tsuwm is being unncessarily delayed, here's a quick tip...

Hogwash is a game with only one rule:

No player is allowed to look up the definition.

Most players don't but some do. Those that do usually accompany their submission with an off handed casual remark like...

(yawn) O'boy O'boy, just for the heck of it I think I'll go with definition __ .

If you can spot one of these crooks you can pick up a couple of cheap points. This is not cheating. This is logical deduction and is allowed in all Hogwash incarnations.

Good luck gang, I'll give you all another tip in a minute. ______


Posted By: milum Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/29/02 08:27 AM
Yes Sir, there are some pretty good definitions this time. Hmmm...
(yawn) O'boy O'boy, just for the heck of it I think I'll go with definition number
" L ".




Posted By: BankrollBets Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/29/02 06:27 PM
I think I'll go with definition number
" L ".


HMMM.... number "L"
Is that the Roman Numeral for 50 or the LETTER "L"


Posted By: tsuwm Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/29/02 06:33 PM
>the number L

knowing millum (as I do), I'd say it was just part of his Ludification.

Posted By: BankrollBets Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/29/02 07:00 PM
I'd say it was just part of his Ludification.

I don't know what this has to do with a reluctance to technological change..... oh wait that's Luddite...

<ahem>.... nevermind.


Posted By: musick Re: hogwash® - the sands of time.. - 10/29/02 11:38 PM
Busy...busy...busy... I'll go with C.

p.s. - the long quote is a yart of sorts - ycliu!
Posted By: dxb Re: today's wwftd is... hogwash® - 10/30/02 04:38 PM
If I'm not too late...
I always thought there must be a word for that feeling, which is particularly strong if there is no seat left for you...so I must go for 'O'.

Posted By: consuelo Re: today's wwftd is... hogwash® - 10/31/02 09:10 AM
I'm feeling rather white rabbitish and will now pick H

Posted By: Wordwind Re: phlegm - 10/31/02 09:18 AM
Hi, Consuelo...

Phlegm? White rabbitish? Hate to be dense, but, hey, I'm dense. What's the connection?

If you're feeling sick, hope you feel better soon.

WW

Posted By: consuelo Re: phlegm - 10/31/02 09:25 AM
Sorry, more a reference to being late and feeling harried! Looks like I made the cut, though.

Posted By: milum Re: hogwash® - cśnaculous - 10/31/02 11:00 AM
MOE: Hey Birdbrains! (slap slap) Do you think tsuwm will ever end this game? I've got a haircut appointment in March.

LARRY: I tried to think but nothing happened.

CURLY: Nyuk! Nyuk! I'm hungry I vote for Q. Nyuk! Nyuk!

MOE: (Dead stare)__________
