Three candidates so far, after just one day. Does that mean we'll have twenty-one by week's end?

It's a math term, for some unspecified number too large to to keep track of exactly. (I had fantasies of being a math major once upon a time in the dim, remote past.) Don't mind me, I'm still chuckling over the anagram of Banach-Tarski.

The Shirley babe is Leslie Nielsen as "Rumack" in the movie Airplane (1980).

Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.

Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

I have nine entries so far, plus the Real McCoy. There's still room for a few more, though, and then I'll post them all for the 26th, EST.

December 26, a day that lives famously in the annals of American history. Serendipitous? Maybe.

But I have never ever felt more confident of winning a Hogwash game.
