[Fictionary] CAXON ballot (due 2/14)

[eLLioTT morEton]

Dear Fictionary,

The nine candidates for CAXON are listed below, without party
affiliation.  I have regularized the punctuation and capitalization at
the start of the definitions.  Usual one- and two-point votes, plus
any awards you may wish to give or comments you might feel moved to
utter, are due in a week, i.e., by the end of Valentine's Day.

Regards,
Elliott

joke def: a very loud wassail song
(from klaxon + no el, of course, plus 'wassail' suggests 'wail' for
extra noise)
