One of the following is the real definition of "snottygobble".  The rest 
are a bunch of nonsense sent in by you people (and I'm hoping I didn't 
misplace any or lose any to the spam filters.)  Send me a double vote 
for your most likely suspect, and a single vote for your dark horse 
candidate.  Etc.  Votes and comments due by late on Monday, 5 Feb 2007.
