[Fictionary] SCHOTY ballot!

[Jim Moskowitz]

Here’s your ballot for this round of Fictionary. Please award a 2-point and a 1-point vote!
And I’ll give karma points to anyone who can explain why Mail (the Mac program) is underlining about half of the "schoty"s in this email as being misspelled… but not the other half!
