My wife actually got on her cruise today - wedding party and she has to take care of the kids. Empty ship.

Here are the defs you all are waiting for!

1. poorly maintained and disheveled antiques; from shab(by) + (bric-a-)brac.
2. a sort of Mongolian felt material made from yak wool
3. a trooper's housing or saddlecloth
4. a peasant's woolen cloak, with a hood or cowl, worn also by monks
5. a traditional Jordanian Bedouin dish of lamb, rice and spices
6. a wrought steel breech-loading cannon, named after its inventor, Herr Shabrack
7. to set or seal with a mark; to confirm or authenticate beyond a doubt
8. a small suitcase
9. a style of smoking tobacco where the leaf is shredded into thin strips before drying and aging
10. strong, coarse canvas
11. a checquered black and white scarf that is usually worn around the neck or head throughout the Middle East
12. a flat quiver holding crossbow bolts which in use attached to the T piece so that tightening the spring automatically loaded a bolt. [Although fast it was rarely used beause it made the whole weapon too heavy for most people]

Kindly vote for two of the wrong ones!

Deadline: Sunday around 2 p.m. EDT -

Dave

OK! How about 1 for creativity and 2 for “a sort of” and “yak” in the same sentence.

I'll buy #5 because it sounds plausible, and #12 because it doesn't.

5 & 12
