Which I'm sorry to say, based on the current tally, is probably still a lost cause. <BR/><BR/>Come on, people. "Veyhoo" and "prock" are automatically funny sounding, and the definitions practically write themselves (plus, one has the advantage of being "blue"). <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, there's nothing inherently funny about "meway," yet some tormented genius has spun it into comedy gold. And the best part is it makes absolutely no sense! (If Popeye had a variety show, it would obviously be in Branson, not Vegas.)<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, all the entries are much funnier than anything I came up with or could come up with. And I have nothing to gain by any of them winning. I'm only debasing myself this way out of a commitment to honoring artistic excellence.
