One of the players has made an excellent suggestion regarding the writing of the definitions. Let's try to make the definitions uniform in their presentation/style so that the way someone writes the definition does not eliminate it as a candidate.
Please submit all definitions without the addition of adj./verb/n. or pronounciation information. If the Balderdash answer card includes any of that then I will also drop it from the definitions list.
Good Luck - keep those PMs coming!

Actually, if we give extra points for being the first one with the correct answer, it might encourage people to answer earlier.  |

Things are not going well in hypotenuse city.

Katherine <- still waiting for a shut-out.

But... that will just reward the person who is able to post at the same person Katherine posts.
Today I worked. So I didn't get to vote at all 
Can we make these things be 24 hours... like 12 to make something up by, and 12 to vote by? Or something kind of regular? Other wise we'll get shut out just for living.
And besides, are ya'll really lemming-ing? I am pretty sure people don't know the answer, so I'm not I was going to vote four, btw, but then I realized voting was closed. | |
