We now begin the penultimate round of our epic game of Fictionary! The ing word is: "ceratine". Send me your definitions. Yes, the above address is correct. By the way, I have discovered that the first official Fictionary dictionary is now back up. However, some experimenting with it quickly made it obvious that it is using the same dictionary as #2. Different interface, same content.

If understand the rules very well I would volunteer as referee, but I think that there is a hole in the rules when the number of players is larger then 10. So the maximum number of starting players is 10 :) I will wait a week before I start the game.

But the thing that gets me is that no one seems to write *limericks* for the limerick contest. It would only take a tiny sleight-of-time to get this poem at least *somewhere* near the right number of syllables. - -- Mohammed Seven bakers led the big parade. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Apr 1997 11:39:41 -0500 (CDT) From: "Joseph W.
