last week's word winner:
i voted for popinjay. but apparently 54% of you have another opinion on the matter. speaking for myself, eldritch sounded a little too 'lord of the rings'.

I voted for popinjay too, only because it makes me think of that chubby white blob of a doughboy for Pillsbury. Hee-hee-hee! (that's his laugh). I hate that my word didn't win. I won't tell which one I voted for this week because I don't want to jinx it. (Chelsea's mom - who can't seem to get this page to allow me to use my name)
