I'm torn between J, E and B. Hmm.

I think I'll take a jab at B. If it's not the real one then it is at least the wittiest. Of course sometimes people vote for their own contribution to sway others...

Yeah, it's a couple of miles to the east, adjacent to the National Arboretum.

Many of them are good, and believable; a couple I cast out right away because of punctuation problems; I finally settled on D.

I'm taking F because it seems to be the most detached from the subject matter, and why would you contrive something totally unrelated?...and it seems to set a more humorous, colloquial tone to the tome, which is what I envisioned it to be. And, no, it's not my own sentence that I'm lobbying for...or is it?

Another day passes and no more votes.

What is it with these people that they wait to the last minute before casting their votes? Maybe they just got confused like Alex Williams did and sent their votes to the Hogwash Hogmaster.

Boy, that would delay endgame for a while.

Yeah, what we need is a special name for the Fibliotheque Quizmaster. Hmm...

How about Fibliotheque-er ?

Or if the quizmaster happens to be female; Fibliothequeen.

Pretty good, huh?

Or maybe a simple Lie-brarian.

First off please just call me Alex. Either that or Lord Badass. Either is fine. Secondly, as to submitting to the "hogmaster," you are confusing "confusion" with metonymy (substitution of one word for another which it suggests). While the game in progress in not a round of hogwash, it takes the place of hogwash, the current game having been suggested in lieu of hogwash rather than in addition to it. Therefore one should understand "hogmaster" to mean the master of games, so to speak, regardless of whether or not the game is hogwash, or pick-the-nit, or what-have-you.

I understood the name was to be Fibliotechnician. But that's just me.
