I went with sheer brainpower, despite offers of assistance, and it failed me again. :) Is your word perhaps dopey? I know there can't be more than a few other options, if I'd really watned to I could have spent an hour or so pouring over my dictionary and probably have gotten you, ah well...

Has been for awhile now, actually. Here were the moves: /dev/joe covered his wise donkey. Slakko covered his equally wise donkey. Rex Mundi lassoed Darth Vader's Evil donkey. mr cwm nabbed SonOfWu's invisible donkey, leaving himself wide open for ThinMan to snatch mr cwm's poorly secured donkey. Finally, Fortunato tried to grab Crackfoo's donkey, but quickly realized that Crackfoo wasn't playing (he was eliminated already), and stood around admiring his donkey instead. So in this round Darth Vader, mr cwm, and SonOfWu were eliminated, with mr cwm, ThinMan, and Rex Mundi all adding another donkey to their collections.
