I was impressed by rossim’s very clever effort @15, and would love to vote for it, but for me it just doesn’t quite work as an &lit as “Be” isn’t part of the wordplay.

Others I liked were pigale @10, stevea @12, paul @13 and les40 @29, but my pick is:

Stevea6000 @23

ixion @20

Liked Paul @13, Faraday @ 5 and Fieryjack @ 6

Vote goes to Les @ 29

Rossim @ 15

Fieryjack @ 6

Like pigale@10

Vote goes to the wonderfully risque entry:

aristo@31

tango@32
