WPR 212 result
19 clues from 8 setters and only 5 clues failed to get a vote.
I have given jimmygtal extra time but no clarification of his @39 has been forthcoming so I am treating his ambiguous paul@5 as a spoiled ballot.

Interpreting the rules as an equal first place being the same as a first place, the bronze medal goes to buddy @24 with 6 votes, 3 first places and 2 third places narrowly ahead of paul @8,10,17 with 6 votes and 3 first places.

There is also a tie for first place with paul @3 again just losing out and taking silver with 7 votes and 3 first places.

So the gold goes to dorrien @16 with the versatile rad and 7 votes, 4 first places:

It's awesome and going to be a gas (5)

Commiserations, paul, but you will go down in legend with your AARGH!

Congratulations, dorrien. Your prizes are scarcely a barrel of laughs but there is one for each side of the Atlantic.

Now I need to lie down in a darkened room.

Well done Dorrien - richly deserved! A great idea PaulH which was not easy to fathom but fun! Paul`s `Aargh` was an almost uncanny ending to a memorable week - thanks for the votes and hope we can all enjoy a relaxing day off! Many thanks PaulH!

Well done, dorrien! Thanks to paulh for hosting and challenge.

I was completely lost as for the theme...actually hit on the "last three letters", but saw no obvious connection and gave up (knowing nothing of Scrabble).
