Point of Order! Point of Order! Citizens Arrest! Point of Order! Point of Order!

What do you mean Mr. tsuwm, when you say, (in your deep authoritative voice)...
THE DEADLINE IS MIDNIGHT JULY 13?
Do you mean last night midnight when the thirteenth began or tonight midnight when the thirteenth ends?
And what about awaders in Alaska where the nights are three months long, is their deadline the whole month of July?

For just once in my life I would like to play a straightforward game of Holiday Hogwash where the rules are crystal clear and cheating is held to a minimum.

But the rules are crystal clear - everyone cheats like h**l and sees how much s/he can get away with.

just so -- or, not to put too fine a point of order on it, it means just what I mean it to mean. I hope (sincerely) that didn't come across as too mean. [if it did, tough bunnies.]

BTW, Mr. Ommando, if you've read the fine print you will have noted that entries from Alsaka, USA are summarily rejected. you can't fool me with phoney accents and mispent youth.

Yes tsuwn, I think now everyone knows exactly what you mean.
[ if it did, tough bunnies. ]
But I see no need to cuss.

milun> But I see no need to cuss.

I now know that I was committing an act of lalochezia.
