Comments on the clue

1.	A nice idea for linking wordplay and definition, but 'S' = South not Southern
2.	Delicious, the use of capitals adding to the ruse, originality in the def.
3.	1 point. Nicely disguised definition. "Touches" perhaps better.

Where the clue word is clued as an exclamation, e.g. "My", I feel there should be an exclamation mark in the clue as well. I don't know if this is a matter of convention or just personal taste. Equal first place 28 39 and 40 with 4 points each. Runners up 13 26 and 47 with 1 point each.
