Huh? A hutchet is a hatchet?  You and what army?  For some reason, I 
can't find the results email for 'hutchet' from a quasquidecade ago (I 
could swear I had been saving them all along, but the folder of saved 
results doesn't contain anything from the plover era), but the 
spreadsheet that I made gives the correct definition (and yes, you 
picked it, Hutch) as:
 > hutchet, n. a hunter's horn: bugle

(Although it doesn't affect the standings, it looks like I was credited 
with a point that I didn't earn this round, as I did not in fact vote 
for the correct definition.)

Meanwhile, if you have four enthusiastic fans of the FOX TV show about a 
high-school singing club, would that be a murnival of gleeks?
