My speedgoating is gradually improving. Having beaten Chris, I played this epic against Innis, on a perfect game, until I faltered and Innis beat me to the goatundrum

His quickness got the better of you.

I'll repost my gotw entry:

Excellent, and proof that the recap doesn't have to be a sea of bolded words to make a great game. ULULATE is top notch. I'm going to make an effort to put more games like this in the poll, but they're quite difficult for me to find so please don't be shy about submitting them.

Okay Paul.

Thanks, Kevin and Paul. And Kevin's excellent playing is why I had to risk it, too.

Great game! I often wonder why POOTER isn't in ODE2r. It's that thing you use to suck up insects for inspection, without them going in your mouth, isn't it?

About time a Standard 15 got some recognition. I played above myself and Jimmy turned in an excellent performance in the run-up to his filming date this week.

There are quite a few good ones this week, with no absolute standouts, so I may do another extended version if I have time.

My guess is that it sounds very similar to another deeply offensive word (you know the one), and the assonance would cause extreme distress for some dictionary readers. Well played Oxford for leaving it out, I say.
