Give them the pleasure of earning their win.

Ringing 1

That was a much closer round that it looked at first, very good comeback play Thrawn!

[Azoth]

Down to the wire.

Huh. BELL!

[Amicalola]

Yep, really close one. Pretty sure this is BELL, but I got spooked enough by FALL (head ringing) that I didn't want to just point. 99% bell though.

[Charriu]

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.
BELLs on bob-tails ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, oh!

Jingle BELLs, jingle BELLs,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle BELLs, jingle BELLs,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young.
Take the girls tonight,
Sing this sleighing song.
Get a bobtailed bay,
Two forty for his speed,
And hitch him to an open sleigh,
And you will take the lead.

Oh, jingle BELLs, jingle BELLs,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle BELLs, jingle BELLs,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In one horse open sleigh!

Good Game! That turned out really close, you had a great recovery Thrawn.

[shallow_thought]

I'm just a little concerned that I used a sliding Door for my example of TRACK, and it could be a reference to that comment; but I think that would be a little obscure.

Shallow Thought, you know me enough to know that this is a cast-iron guarantee DOOR refers to TRACK

Yes, I just somehow managed to talk myself down from "Thrawn would definitely have noticed that I used a Door for my example" to this over multiple drafts. Nice recovery work, but I'm afraid the (accidental?) misdirect of Stick-PILOT threw us.

Life continues to throw me the odd curveball: my street's Internet has gone down (I kind of missed the big finale to the round) , although I should be able to use my phone if I have to (and work are no longer blocking RB, thank goodness). Also, I have my booster tomorrow: I'm relieved about that (it's been a scramble to arrange) but my experience is that the jabs tend to knock me back for a day, so I may be flaky for a bit. I suggest the team carries on but doesn't wait for me if I don't respond.

[El Grillo]

GG, good effort thrawn.
