OP herein are the results of the voting for underfong, with the perps in brackets and the marks listed following. some additional comments:
- first, doc_comfort will be disappointed to find that under- here pretty much just means under, as in undertake
- second, note that these are the original offerings, before normalization
- f) and i) were a little sketchy; this must be why they received no votes. or either because belM tagged them in the very first post. :-p~
- a last minute vote for Faldage (plus one from his SO) gave him the win with 3 votes, thus thwarting the effort of Luke, one of our rooks (who also had 3 votes, but one was an own-vote)
- the belly side? sketchy, bel, sketchy
- kudos (and this lovely internet artifact) go to twosleepy and doc_comfort for sussing out the real def’n (or having the temerity to LIU 8 )
