Results & More Voting

I'm way behind in announcing results (not that you don't just look at the polls yourselves...).

Natalie needs Nutella nightly, Niko needs Nutella now. (Naomi)
Overtired Oliver ordered oodles of old, orange oddities. (Sherry)
Perforated parasols partially protect photophobic penguins. (Bob)
Quirky queens quickly quilted quaint quadrangles. (Rita)

And now, vote for R (while you continue to think about your S sentences).

Results for L & M, Vote for N and O

L was a tie, decided on by random.org. The winner was "Little Louise leased lousy Lionel's lemon." Submitted by Sherry.

The winning sentence for M was "'Mush! Mush!' menaced Mickey mercilessly, making miserables mutts march." Submitted by Erin.

Vote for N and O, below. Polls close on Wednesday night.

Vote for N!


Vote for O!

N needs you!

N is feeling lonely since no one wrote a sentence for him (her?). So I'm extending the deadline for N submissions to this Wednesday, June 15. While we're at it, go ahead and add to O if you feel like it until Wednesday, too.

I've had a few people tell me that the letter submissions and voting come and go so quickly they have a hard time remembering to post sentences. So I'm going to lengthen our the timing and add reminder posts between each letter. This is a slightly less drastic measure than an earlier idea I had of holding my family captive during our family reunion last week and demanding they write sentences through Z for me.

Also, more illustrations on their way!

Noodling N

Submit N sentences by Saturday, June 4, using comments on this post.

"N" from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755): "A semivowel, has in English an invariable sound; as, no, name, net; it is sometimes after m almost lost; as, condemn, contemn." (3)
