My weeners!

I have to say, I was overwhelmed with self-validating smugness with the quality of definitions I received for my goofy word contest. What an intelligent, interesting and witty group of people read my blog! Listen...you can hear the soft pat-pat of the giant hand patting my back right now. I truly am a magnet for humor, intelligence and excellence. As I say, excellence pervades.

So...with no further ado, here are the winners!!!

Pendulous: WWii Guy!! You win because, as Melissa’s definition proved, a certain 28-day biological factor can turn women into "being evil and conniving on a grand scale." And yes, I’ve actually been told I have an "aura of evil" when Aunt Flo visits. By the mudder. Hmph.

Bulbous: DCvR!! "Beauty concealed" is not only succinct, but it touches me personally. I often think I have some bulbous beauty at least partly concealed. And so does a certain elderly lady who attended one of Chantze’s little league games.

Refrain: Amenaza Uno!! "Refrain" is often "the antithesis of my actions," as well. While it is a near-perfect rendering of the true definition, it was done with style and grace. Kudos, my main man. (I give myself runner-up for this term, since Shortensweet used my infamous Balderdash definition for refrain. I love myself.)

Titan: I really struggled with the weener for this word. Among top picks were Melissa’s for "Favorite nickname men use to identify 'the little guy,'" the Dad’s "When your belt gets too loose" and Shortensweets "the word found on a board that washed up on shore a few decades ago." And who could forget DCvR's endearing nod to a favorite childhood pet - "gone but never forgotten." Even worse, I would have to choose between my best friend, one of the few loyal posters to my blog, my brother or my sister. Therefore, I’ve decided...it’s a draw! You are ALL weeners!

And finally, I am honoring The Mudder for being the brave soul who got the whole thing off the ground with her quite funny definitions. Her definition of "pendulous" set the stage for the humor that followed. I don't think I will ever think of the female milk glands again without "pendulous" running through the ol' noggin.

For a good laugh, click the link to my Daily List. I’ve posted all the definitions (and the authors!) there.
