A handful of hours remain on this one.

Some good work so far, but I feel that they can be topped.

And the winner is ...
Spoiler
Hyperception!

Hyperception's entry was not only clever, but he picked two words which are famous for being [over]used by Donaldson, which was sort of what I was going for. Probabably the famousest words of all. Verdurebrous gets the Miss Congeniality - it really should be a word. And succubut gets an honorable mention for me not believing Donaldson had ever used the word "sackbut" ever but then finding out that he did.
