Out of 14 entries to the TABOO CONTEST, there were 3 of you (Barbara, Mike, and Carol) who got 9 of the 10 clues correct. (Most of the rest of you got 6 or 7 correct.)
The correct answers were:
1. Billy the Kid
2. Pastrami
3. Loch Ness Monster
4. Jackpot
5. Loitering
6. Elizabeth Taylor
7. Usher
8. Arena
9. Bayou
10. Hearse
Mike missed #8 and guessed Giants Stadium. Carol missed #8 as well and guessed Parthenon.
I am going to declare Barbara the winner because of this fact... She missed #2, guessed Pepperoni, but wrote in parenthesis: "I wanted to say pastrami, but that ain't spicy." I've just been schooled, ladies and gentlemen, and, therefore, Barbara is the winner.
Congratulations Barbara!

Dang it, I guess my addendum/correction email doesn't count? Otherwise I would have gotten 9.
Alyssa, Technically, your amended e-mail said, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance KID" which is a *little* different from "Billy the Kid". Therefore, it was not accepted, and counted as incorrect. Sorry. If it makes you feel any better, you still would have lost with 9 because I still would have given it to Barbara.
Ahh, I just remembered typing "kid"; didn't realize that it was different than Billy the Kid. I accept the judge's call.
Yes, I feel better knowing I'm a loser either way.
