What makes B stand out from the others is that it is the only one
not dealing with material things (directly or indirectly)
I still hope we will be in for a nice surprise.

actually, it has to do with specific debunking, which will become evident when the results are in.

Thank you hogmaster! Now that the game is over I will vent. Yes, my offering, a) was flawed. I do think that "Post and Beam", is correct however. I don't buy the capitalization of "Post and Beam" so (A) is out. Maybe not - I made the definition up. Yes, it is obvious to me now that I it was a mistake to mix tenses. That's what I get for rushing. Oh well. A) Definition in plural for an entry in singular. I don't think so Over the years I have found that all the regulars here are more intelligent, well read and well versed in all things wordly than I. I celebrate the opportunity for learning and enjoyment that this affords me. However, (he said, with no malicious intent and realizing that it's only one owl's opinion), I do think that the public airing of ones thought process in eliminating or choosing the correct definition, before all the votes are in, might tend to prejudice someone who has not yet voted. i.e. I have a better chance of losing if all the smart people critique the entries. It is all about the points after all.

May the owl keep coming flying in. The grammatical details are lost on me anyway.
't Was just that none of the defs were trickey enough, even mine would have been easily demasqued by someone with expert knowledge of musical instruments. I'm glad Etaoin did not precomment on that one.
For me the high point in the hogwash is when the definitions come out. To see what everyone's cooked up.
Concerning points it's like everywhere: you win one you loose one.
( And I do miss Milo's capital rants too.)

Yes, my offering, a) was flawed. I do think that "Post and Beam", is correct however. Never mind owlie, at least I voted for you!  I do think that the public airing of ones thought process in eliminating or choosing the correct definition, before all the votes are in, might tend to prejudice someone who has not yet voted. i.e. I have a better chance of losing if all the smart people critique the entries. It is all about the points after all. No it isn't, cos I'll never catch up anyway. It wasn't only the smart people critiquing, btw - I voted for you remember, so I'm not so smart am I?  But you have a point - it wouldn't be allowed in most face to face games. I just assumed it must have been the established culture so to do, but I must admit I did feel a bit funny doing it. Sorry. I think it would be a good rule to have not to discuss the definitions before the end, I agree.
