I've read the op about 10 times. Makes more sense than a kinboshi hand history, but I still don't get it.glglglgl all.

It's my fault waffling too much.

1. Write fake definitions for the 5 items and PM to me before the 22nd.
2. Pick which definition you believe to be correct from the list of submitted answers when I post them itt.

I've read the op about 10 times. Makes more sense than a kinboshi hand history, but I still don't get it.glglglgl all.

The basic idea of balderdash is that you have to work out what the definition of a word is. Now the other team has to try and put you off the scent by making up some other possible definitions that sound like they could fit.

Say the word were "Gorilla"

The definition you'd be looking for would be "Giant ape with the latin name gorilla gorilla"

But the opposition might have thrown in a few curve balls:
- A defensive position in the game Kabaddi, similar to a sweeper
- An energetic dance from the South Pacific
- A Mexican style of cooking, similar to a barbeque

Here's where blonderdash comes in.

Your job is in two parts:
1. You need to make up a plausible (ideally wrong) answer for each of the things Ed has given - so what could have but didn't happen on 24 March 1951? - and send one for each to Ed.
2. All the wrong answers and the correct one will be presented together and your job is to identify the correct definition. You will score a point every time someone picks your curve ball wrong answer.

The idea is to come up with a really plausible wrong answer so everyone picks it and then yourself to pick the right answer so you don't give anyone else any points.

Does that help?

I reckon (read, 'am hoping') Tighty is leveling. I know he knows basically everything, but I'd be gutted if I hadn't located at least a couple of blind spots!

I was joking. I think I knew one. Ed has my answers so he'll be aware of this.

I didn't think you'd want us to give you correct answers?

Is this a sort of internet (or do I mean web?) version of Call my Bluff, which used to feature Frank Muir?
