[Dixonary] 3086 POLTOPHAGY full results
Hi all!
Here are your results for round 3086 for the word POLTOPHAGY, which is the thorough chewing of food until it becomes like porridge. I scored a D2; no one was DQ, a first for me. Da Winnah is Nancy Shepherdson, who received an aberrant 8 for some lichen action. "Real" winner honors go to Tony Abell, who received a natural 5 for parasitic microorganisms. Now, for our tabulation. If for some reason it is wrong, please accept my apologies. Things have come up, and I'm likely to be unreachable for a couple days. I'll address it Sunday. 1.
