Don't think Kate did any, though she might have come up with the odd one or two. Sarah's done about 20 over the last few years, but Charlie is indeed the most prolific setter not on staff, with a grand total of 1.

My most memorable has to be NUDELUMP, which was "it's not a nude lump, but it hangs down and swings both ways", which brought in about a dozen complaints.

ARSETITS

Clue: Creates grooves that don't get sweaty?

Actually, this has two reasonably plausible answers depending on minor wording changes.

In all seriousness, RILEYHOT could be used, but without reference in the clue to my corpora cavernosa becoming engorged with blood. Apparently RHYOLITE is some kind of volcanic rock, so you could riff on the "hot" theme a bit. It would rule. Go on. Then I'll equal Charlie at something.

I believe COILSPIT ("No crosses for Sukey's pal, but lots of parties.") was one of hers.

Oh yeah, I remember that one, can't remember whether DesO kept a straight face or not. Doing a quick search, I see it was also used back in December 03 with the same scramble, don't know what the clue was, though.

I like this one :) For the film's 25th anniversary later this year perhaps Jeff could do a Back To The Future themed introduction with DELOREAN as the other teaser and WRONGYEAR as the conundrum?
