Round 3611: New Word SPIT-FROG

[Daniel B. Widdis]

Found somewhere in the dictionary between spitchcock and splairge is:

*** SPIT-FROG ***

Please send me your fabulous, fanciful, fictitious, fairy-tale, fabricated, false, fantastical, forged, fabled, far fetched, fraudulent, flimflam, feigned, fanatical, and figmental fake definitions for SPIT-FROG by email to widdis (at) dixonary (dot) net.

I’ll set a deadline in 38 hours (or whenever I wake up): at 6am PST on Saturday, Jan 3 at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, which is 7 am EST at the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC, Noon UTC/GMT on the International Space Station and at the Greenwich Meridian and elsewhere in the UK, 1pm CET at la Méridienne de France and in most of Europe, and Sunday at 1 am NZDT at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station and in New Zealand.

Dan,

I'm not sure what closing time you had in mind, but 6am PST is 9 am EST. The European times correspond to 7am EST, but that would be 4am PST. (Not sure where New Zealand fits into this picture.) The difference between 7am and 9am matters to me: if it's 7, I should get it in before I go to sleep on Friday; if it's 9, I have time on Saturday morning.

I'm not sure what closing time you had in mind, but 6am PST is 9 am EST. 

I'm not sure what closing time I had in mind, either.

My thought process was as follows:

• It's 4pm, so I'll add 36 hours for the deadline
• Let me to to timeanddate.com to do the time zone conversions
• Let me type the post.... oh wait, who am I kidding, there's no way I'll be awake at 4am, let me update it to 6am although in reality it'll probably be 8am.
• Let me copy over all those time zone conversions 

So, the deadlines are correct at my original 36 hour timeline.

I will actually sleep about 3-4 hours past that deadline, or 1-2 hours past the PST deadline that I updated, neglecting the others.

Submit your definitions accordingly.

May this be the last mistake I make on this deal. :)
