I hope it won’t be hard for me to improve my standings in the next feud… DFL. A new low. ---

Oh, snap! 🙂 Thanks for doing this again, Dolores. I thought I might have more chance than usual on this one, with no really US-centric answers, but not really as it turns out. Happy with top half. ---

Nitpick: **septimus** should be ranked at 13 with **Pepperwinkle** and me. And woo-hoo, all three of us beat **swampbear**! ---

Thanks Dolores!! Your efforts are much appreciated! And, note to self, go with my first guess–I would have finally made the top 10 if I’d gone with my initial “back” and “bill” instead of second-guessing myself with “Jack” and “Jill” ---
