... I just came across DECANAL - is that sufficiently obscure and misleading for our purposes?

Hearing no objections...

That's our word for December. I'll collect daffies for a-week-or-so and then post results for another week-or-so of voting.

Thanks, Hab. Mine is on the way.

I scent one. It stinks, but it's all I can think of.

Got 'em both, thank you.

While we're at it - any word from or about Xianyang?

It's still there, but the air's so polluted Bob can't find is computer.

COUGH, COUGH, GAG, WHEEEEEZE

From the Limerick thread, but it really belongs here:

...DECANAL has been lying on the desktop for four weeks waiting for attention, and I have entries from only two 'Crafters so far. The holiday season is a good week behind us now, so I'll defer the limerick for the time being and invite all to focus on daffies of DECANAL instead.

If you need a limerick fix that badly I'll take any decanal limericks too.

If you must make a limerick of "DECANAL"
And you send it to me, why I reckon'll
Put it onto the heap.
If you find you can't sleep,
Try a glass of warm milk, or some Seconal®.

(but you can pronounce it any way you like, if it suits your purposes better...)

Yeah, it has been a little slow around here, hasn't it? We have some illnesses and various other things going on (busy, trips, etc.). I'll send another. How about a few more contributions, Crafters?

I scent another stinker today.

Sent two

I believe I saw this word in a story about a congregation's punishment of a bad church leader:
Deposit de disollute deacon in decanal!"

I have a respectable number of entries now, though some of our regulars are still unheard-from. I think Friday will be a good time to post what's available.

Arnie, are you well enough to send one? I hope so because yours are always good. And - of course you always win the game.

Time to not-drag-this-out. Make your choice here. :-)
