WOW! What a Marathon that last Round was!

Hopefully this one will take less than three months to complete!

I'll spare the Hoopla and get right to the action.

You all know the Rules by now, newcomers can simply ask.

The Prize?

Well that would be telling, wouldn't it?

Sufffice it to say that at least one very sweet book will be up for grabs and if this Round turns out anything like the last Round, you may end up with a whole long-box, who knows?

So let's get to it. The Game begins folowing the word posted in my nest post.

Good luck!

Nice game that, Charlton Guy!

Uh, Rowand....you changed two letters there, not one.

So if I use the word BRINK, current word should be BRINK with THINK eliminated from play, no?

marvelguy

He sure did, that was a BLINK in time.

rowand

SLINK back and try a valid word!

NOTE TO SELF: do NOT follow the direction to DRINK and THEN submit an entry!

"STUNK 'em up!" said the Polish Polecat, EuroHeroes spokesperson, else I will vent my fury at you. "Careful, Untoned Avenger!" chimed in his sidekick, Tomato Juice Vendor, "I don't know if I have currently have the resources to cleans them all!"

Thanks, Evil Parsnip. I'm SHOCKed about that myself. It has been a long and embattled series of headaches, finger-twisting, head sweats, can't sleep good at night kind of game. Everyone played their hearts out.

SHACK attack! The dilapidated building groaned to life and started down that path strewn with really good intentions. Somehow, I stayed ahead of it!

marvelguy

02-13-2007, 02:15 AM

Thereby it's still STACKed to the gills. The building must first stand rigorous testing and playing.

WHARL - A guttural pronunciation of the letter r; a burr.

A strange, uncouth wharling in their speech. --Fuller.

PROPER NOUN!

PLUTUS IS MOST DISPLEASED!

AND YES, MOST VARIANT WURDS APPEARING ON DICTIONARY.COM ARE ALLOWED.

WURDS POSTED AFTER THIS POST THAT WAS POSTED BEFORE YOUR POST MAY BE POSTED AGAIN!

CURRENT WORD IS:

WHAUL

from Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Um, aren't Biblical names excluded?

I think we need a ruling from CG.

rowand

02-13-2007, 07:18 PM

Whaul is just a varient form of Whall. Does a variant form count?

jaeldubyoo

02-13-2007, 08:26 PM

They have in the past. Look at a lot of words we used. They are variations of the original word. Case in point: aeon=eon used in the last game. Aeon is listed as a variant of eon in the dictionary.

marvelguy

02-13-2007, 08:40 PM

In any case, I'll use SHALL as the next word until he comes back and decides.

rowand

02-13-2007, 09:04 PM

NAH, I was just quibbling to get a response! It's a win by me!

Just my luck I make an obviously foolish statement and you go all noble on me!

Nice win this!

JLW Biblical proper names should be disallowed as proper names. Biblical regular words like minion should be disallowed as furren!

SHELL, just in case!

rowand

02-13-2007, 09:09 PM

Since there is NO current change-one-letter game ongoing! A minor nitpick to the learned observations above.

Aeon and Eons should be allowed as different pluralities of the same word. Aeon and eon are of different lengths so wouldn't be valid entries in the same game. Same length plurals should also be OK as in Basis (sing.) and Bases (plural)

This round was WAY too short! Enjoyable, but too short!

What about Rhaul? Isn't that a furren word?

marvelguy

02-14-2007, 03:17 AM

You know, rhaul shrimp, rhaul oysters, rhaul steak, and rhaul comic books.

The Charlton Guy

02-14-2007, 03:53 AM

A Plutus is just under 30 minutes! (1756 seconds)

I think it is a win, meself! Congrats JLW!!

Here are some possibles I have personally spiked on the Uh-Uh stick:

Shaul - a variant of the biblical name Saul or a grave or asked or lent
Whatt - an acronym for World Hospitality and Tourism Trends
Uhaul - a company name
Whaup-noun Scot.: a curlew or a large migratory shorebird of the sandpiper family; closely related to the woodcock but having a down-curved bill
Ahaul-the state of not currently hauling anything -- tush or otherwise

All wrong, wrong, wrong. PS if one or more is acceptable then they are my entry.

WHAUP is perfectly acceptable.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/the-charlton-guy/scurlew1.jpg

BUT, I will have to penalize you $10.00 in Corral Cash for each of the other incorrect entries.

ONE WURD AT A TIME PLEASE!!!!

And as you may have gathered, I will be VERY STRICT IN THIS ROUND REGARDING PENALTIES!!! (Rowand, you bad boy you!)

Current wurd is:

WHAUP

rowand

02-14-2007, 03:56 PM

A bad boy with a valid entry! I'll take it. I had NO faith in the Scotish term for the curlew.

I don't seem to have any Corral Cash nor seperately any way of earning it! How will this work out? I am now glad that I didn't try any further joke entres at the $10CC per clip! Happy to pay for my transgressions -- just unsure how to do so.

PS It WAS a joke entry just waiting for JLW to be announced as winner! Who knew?

fulltimer56

02-15-2007, 04:05 AM

So I take it that JLW is the winner, right?

Lord, I don't check in for awhile and look what happens!!! #professor#

A winning new Super-Hero team the Variants -- incredably familar but altered just enough to avoid copywrite infringement! To the Law Firm!

AND a winner by me!

Not even a pointless joke guess that might further edit my Corral Cash!

anyhow.. if not then WHARP

rowand

WHARP ~ A kind of fine sand from the banks of the Trent, used as a polishing powder.

Already brilliantly used by Fulltimer! (snoozing, losing)

The Charlton Guy

02-16-2007, 08:48 PM

Um.. sorry.. Shaul is not just a proper noun.. it has other legit meanings according to our source Dictionary.com.... therefore how come you are disallowing it? that makes no sense according to the rules?

I searched high and low for a Non-Proper Noun usage of "shaul" on the other wurd reference wbsites and found nothing. The definition on the Dictionary.com site is from a Bible Dictionary, which often gives root forms and/or archaic sources for the Proper Noun in question, but is still purely a Proper Noun.

For instance, no matter how much I want the Proper Noun "Charlton" to mean "the end-all be-all of everybody's existence", it just ain't gonna happen (in my lifetime anyway).

Current wurd is still:

WHAAP

(And yes, "wharp" has already been used...)

marvelguy

02-16-2007, 10:06 PM

Looks like that's the winning word here. I've looked at every possible ways to move it on, alas none is to be found.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rowand

02-17-2007, 06:47 PM

Whaap

Yeah, one of those damn variants.

An entry from way back on Valentine's Day so it should be a win!

Congrats jaeldubyoo, I'll get you next time!

Well I debated it.. and thought I had a legit word in SHAUL but whatever.... I concede the point.

Congrats to you JLW
