Thanks to all who participated. I hope you enjoyed these.
Final tally:
Quailman - 80
Oscar - 39
Zag - 21
groza528 - 10
Sentran - 9
Jack_Ian - 8
bgg1996 - 6
Chuck - 2
Scurra - 2
Ctorj - 1
ralphmerridew - 1
Silverfire - 1
Now all that's left is to solve Sentran's from page 1 (unless Hawk Candy is correct), and Zag's from the other Spoonerism thread, which was "Several Grey Labyrinth members / Quiet the priests". |
