[Fictionary] Reminder: GLIMA ballot

[J-J Cote]

Today is the thirty-oneth, which means that the end of the month is 
rapidly approaching.  So far I have votes from Ranjit, David, Linda, and 
Joe, but I need more.  More, I tell you!  So get those ballots in, and 
don't make me have to extend the deadline, you kids!

Here they are, the correct definition of "glima" and seven impostors.  
Vote strongly for one, weakly for a second, and express your disdain or 
admiration for the remainder by the end of the month, and we'll crown 
another winner!
