[Dixonary] Round 3145 LEISTER results
Folks,
A leister is definition 6: "a fishing spear with three barbed prongs." Maybe some people remembered subconsciously that they had seen this def before - I used it as my fake def of "peccaid," which Mike Shefler dealt in Round 3069 - and were scared off it by that, or thought that it's the definition of a trident so it must be fake. However, John Barrs remembers fishing for salmon with a leister as a youth to avoid buying a very expensive license. This is a person (not John, as far as I know) fishing with a leister: Paul Keating's roof tiler, def. 9, and Shani Naylor's rocky hill, def. 10, each earned a natural 4. Since Paul is up by one point in the rolling scores, he will be our next dealer. Shani earns traditional "winnah" honors. Full results follow: 1. [Scot.] a jute dealer.

Has nothing to do with Dixonary, but felt like telling people. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
