Default [Dixonary] Round 2859 KEITAI Results

Sorry for the short delay - we hit our local supermarket before dawn this
morning for the last shopping trip before Christmas, and I was so exhausted
when I got back that I sat in an armchair with a coffee and fell asleep! I
think old age is creeping up.

A KEITAI is what those of you on the other side of the pond would call a
cell phone - I used the Oxford English Dictionary' definition which has it
as a mobile phone. Tony Abell, Efrem Mallach, and Shani Naylor gussed
that correctly, and - of course - Johnny Barrs knew it already. Efrem also
got 4 votes for his Devil's Tongue Japanese food, giving him a total of 6
points and making him the next dealer. Mike Shefler is the real winner
with a natural 4 for his wonderful codpiece def; it reminded me of the
Ogden Nash poem which I offer here as an early Christmas present to you all:




*The turtle lives 'twixt plated decksWhich practically conceal its sex.I
think it clever of the turtleIn such a fix to be so fertile.*

Take it away, Efrem,

-- Tim L
