For my next trick, I lead the Seven of Clubs.

I predict another ignominiously-ended round.

Maybe you're right. I did contemplate the fact that a few people might know
this word but then decided I couldn't be bothered. I liked the word and I'm
not really taking this game of fictionary all that seriously. Why else do you
think I submitted the Yoda definition? I assure you I had submitted that
before you posted it publicly too, maybe that should go down as an instance
of game misconduct? :-).

Else...if, as far as I can tell, you no longer have this card in your hand.
it's the one I played for you the last round I was acting as your
replacement.

Teach me to post my censure before I read all my messages.  I'd thought e
had two of them; such is by no means impossible, right?

The Jack of Hearts is also, unfortunately, incorrect.
