[Dixonary] Round 3023 - Adelatser *** The Results ***
This was so much fun watching a bunch of clever definitions roll in and
then seeing the votes go all over the place. At first, I thought Mike Shefler, with his mounted spearmen (#8), was going to run away with it but, then others started to catch up. Our next Dealer is Judy Madnick with a Natural 4. The two Tims (Bourne and lodge) hit the sweet spot with threes. Thanks for having me back, folks. I will try to stay in it with more consistency. 1. an embossed official seal affixed to documents issued by a government body, proving their authenticity.
