You know, I was going to ask but then thought better of it: the great tsuwm never posts a pun gratuitously, unlike some people around here!

That's funny.
If you assign a progressive value to the letters i,r,p,e, and then add them up you get "52".
If you assign a regressive value (example z=1, y=2, x=3, etc.) and add them up you still get "52".

Coincidence? Ha! There is no "coincidence" in Hogwash.

Obviously, Tom Terrfic, this is only Hogwash # 52 and goodbuddy tsuwm is having one of his "approximate" jokes.

Isn't there a listed history of winners available.?. as well as correct, incorrect votes.?. and most importantly - how many times each player has voted for thier own submission?

That would be *helpful.

Yes, that would be wonderful. Perhaps a list in different colours, the most desireable being nearer the top. And perhaps cute titles for different classes of competitors, like "Super Sleuth" or "Word Magus" or "Lexical Demon." Or ....

...(which we weren't until now) I trust you were not meaning to imply, by the title of this thread, that shiny musical instruments (or festive processions) are made of that soft heavy ductile metal that used to be used so freely by plumbers...
