A quick update with 8 of the 13 possible votes now cast.
mattrom @ 26 leads on 3 from ixion @ 28 on 2 with mattrom @ 7, BBM2 @ 34, & cymro @ 29 all off the mark.
I liked seamus #5, but couldn't convince myself that s=sugar. I did however convince myself that the QM could act as a homophone indicator in dorrien's #19, who gets the nod just from mattrom's #26.
