Fwd: [Fictionary] CUCULORIS ballot

[J-J Cote]

(Oops, I sent the ballot from the wrong email address.  It will still 
work if you reply to the first message, but this is the address that I 
intended to use.)

Well, we can be sure that it's a noun, at least.  Vote for a singloid 
and a doublarooney, and get them votes in by the time income tax returns 
need to be postmarked in Hawaii.  There were a few joke definitions as 
well, but for various reasons that I'll explain later, I'll wait until 
the results to send those to you.
