  Now for the fun! The winners are……………………. <drum roll please……..>

  
  

  
  

   

  
  

  We decided to pick one winner for each word so here goes:

  
  

   

  
  

  Zeitgeist: Pheebles: (noun) a class of specters who hang out on websites like xanga and haunt all ze really good zeits. (Do you qualify as a zeitgeist??? — Inquiring minds want to know!)

  
  

   

  
  

  inimical: gabrielpeter: intimacy with a comic book character — (uhh Gabriel, do we need to know something??)

  
  

   

  
  

  amalgamate: (this was a close one) ThisIsBullDookie: scientific word for the action of french kissing (HUH??? – I’m worried that you may have overanalyzed some important intimacy issues — make you should take a more inimical view…….)

  
  

   

  
  

  Sisyphean: (This one was close too!): ThisIsBullDookie: a degenerative disease of your general acceptance by society after being a weenie too many times. (I assumed you are speaking of the 1st known case — your hubby the ultimate whiner?)

  
  

   

  
  

  pabulum: Auntdee: The gunk we get out of our ears (is this inspired by your recent problems with ear wax????)

  
  

   

  
  

  Ok winners: send me your address via email and I will gladly (for real) mail you your prize! ThisIsBullDookie — look for yours in the mail -I already have your address! Thank you all for playing. We had a great time talking over the definitions and deciding the winners. I have to admit I overruled one decision: family wanted a ghost with bad acne, but I felt that since we are on Xanga –the Xanga specter was much more fitting. Since it’s my site… I win! Hoorah!

  
  

   

  
  

  Alright.. it’s late and I need to hit the zack (taking my cues from Pheebles). Hubby is out of town for the next two days which of course… doubles my workload. I have to drive to horseback (20 min/ each way.), then down to Confirmation (30 min/ each way). All in a couple hour time span. Suffice it to say I will have lots of time in the car tomorrow, so need to get my rest. I will catch up with all my comments and subs tomorrow, but thanks for dropping by!
