Default [Dixonary] Rd 2880: BROB results

A pretty high scoring round for nearly everyone, including the Dictionary
which would be the winner at D7 if it could deal. Yes, it was one of the
spikes. The owner of the other spike, Johnny Barrs, is the new dealer with
an unnatural 5. Dan Widdis' buddle -- I don't know what it is either -- is
the real winnah.

This round also is unusual for the reappearance, at #1, of Steve Dixon,
whose name forms the basis of our very own "Dixonary." The story of how
our game got its name is pretty funny and I hope he will use this
opportunity to tell you. Also hope he sticks around.

Take it away, please, Johnny!

P.S. Apologies in advance for anyrecurrence of formatting problems below as
well as errors, if any..
