This fool rushes out, but here's the reward for the good hogmasters. Hog's wild cousin. Greek, 6th century B.C. Lucania. Silver coin. (sorry , the gold went over my budget) O.K. just the link then: Hog's cousin

I'll take E, having been lured by the analogy to "petiole."
(And it wasn't an E-Z choice, E-ither, I'll have you know.)

I haven't a clue, so I'll say C because I don't know what landaise means.

I'd almost go for M just because of its preliminary fanfare which seemed like a little reverse baiting, but since it's probably reverse rebaiting I'll let it pass.n I can't go with I, dariole just doesn't sound very burlappy. Gee, I guess ...

Not even one M taker? Sometimes one must simply say, "What the H".

Alex, half the fun of your Hogwashes are your clever intros! Bravo!
D sounds right. I like the [OF]. Though the [ON] is tempting. And M of course, is hilarious. Thanx for the laffs.
Are the opinionators going to vote? BranShea, Zed?

If I still can..., yes! For Dirty Harry! Must be a cooked up story, but it's such a funny one.( Viscount Da Riolé ) ------------------------- M -------------------------

I say boldly B .
It is of course one of the coursing moves made by the famous Lippizan stallions.

We're approaching the end of the voting period and, while I haven't sat down to tally everything yet, it seems like there are many potential voters who have not yet chosen one from among the many very plausible and authentic-sounding definitions available. So please cast your vote ASAP. The bar will remain open until 2:00 AM but the kitchen closes at 11:00. Billiard balls must be returned by 1:30.
EDIT: The owner of the pub has informed me that in honor of the 4th of July holiday we will be staying open late until the kegs run dry. Also, I'd like everyone to welcome Sergeant Neil Howie of the West Highlands Constabulary who is visiting us. Someone buy 'im a drink and we'll all sing a rousing rendition of "The Landlord's Daghter."

Yes but I strongly suspect that one of the TEds is sharing a hip flask with the other patrons out on the back patio.
