My apologies for silence last night. For some bizarre reason I was so nervous Wednesday night that I didn’t sleep at all, and I’m past the age where I can pull an all-nighter and function properly the whole of the following day.

Taber, I’m sorry to learn you have no favourite tree. Is it because, although the name has three o’s in it, they are not consecutive and you are **required to spell at least one word per post with a triple letter** (ie three of the same letter consecutively)?

I think I’ll look at dnooman next. There’s a lot of posts to read… and if I’m wrong with either Taber or dnooman the game is over anyway.  
[/QUOTE]

That’s correct - It took me quite awhile to find some bands that qualified. Actually, I said yellowwood was close because it had 3 sets of double letters - ll ww and oo.

Well, since it’s you asking…I don’t know much. I just don’t want to be found in someone’s backyard 20 years after I turn up missing.

While I try again for **dnooman** ’s quirk, I’ll post the ones I’ve been holding off on.

It’s fairly obvious that dotchan is **posting as if she is playing Mafia** - I’ve actually been waiting to see how long it would take her to suggest she follow her Terpsichorean muse.

While our beloved Twickster is, I am sure **posting as if she has the role of a Party host**.

Well, I’ve decided to make the Shiney Ass Dance a must have for every Mafia game I’m in from here on out, so…
