Ermm I know I'm back but this looks like a different puzzle or am I just going mad!
1:37 am
Debs40ish
Am I only one here?
1:38 am
Dr_God
I don't know what just happened. Apparently the server folks took the server down again, and in doing so, erased everything that happened in the brief period the site was up about an hour ago. Ugh.

1:43 am

Don't know about the rest of you, but I was really into that other puzzle with all the 7's!
1:51 am

....so does that mean if we just stick around a while we might see a puzzle we like even better than this one? :)
Woof all.
1:52 am

GreyWoulf
Hello and hugs to everyone -- just stopped by to see if the site was back up yet before turning in -- and found the 10 first thing -- will be back later to find more
1:53 am
GreyWoulf
So the next question is -- does the loss of yesterday's grid mean that it has no impact on our ratings as well?
1:54 am
Griffums
Yeah, I need to know that too. I can hardly sleep at night wondering about my rating. :))))))
1:54 am
melissamay
Good question, GreyWoulf -- but I doubt it, given that it was zapped clean gone. I guess Dr. God can clarify.
1:55 am
brandyjack
Yesterdays grid is not lost, in fact it is still open to be completeed until noon.
It was the first grid for today that was lost. It is replaced by this one.
1:55 am
melissamay
And I must say I'm impressed by all you folks finding the biggies straight out the gate -- my mind is still looking for lovely q words :)
1:56 am
Griffums
Holy cow, so I really could be doing two grids at once? Woo hoo!
1:56 am
moncrunchr
But I already entered a bunch of words on the one that got lost. Bummer.
1:56 am
GreyWoulf
LOL, Griff :D
It's just a question -- I would forget about the ratings if there wasn't the big blue star saying 'View Player Ratings' at the top of the page
1:57 am
mrpresident
hey BrandyJack- did you do a hardware upgrade? Well done bye the way - very fast.
1:57 am
brandyjack
Um, melissa, perhaps you should look at the stats first. According to mine, there are none in this grid..... That's the old grid :P
1:57 am
Griffums
I know - in my case it should say "View How Far You've Fallen Because You Keep Skipping Out On Grids"
1:57 am
GreyWoulf
Oh! Thanks, brandyjack -- I think you just cleared up a bunch of confusion for many of us!
1:58 am

Doc was here... think he's gone to a dark padded room to lay down...
1:59 am
melissamay
brandyjack, that's what I meant -- my brain is still in the old puzzle! Which I'll shut up about now, since it's only confusing people who didn't see it for the brief time it was up.
2:00 am

OK -- time for me to go!
My neighbor will be fixing my computer this weekend, so I don't know if I will be around much -- so

4:48 am
melissamay
Co8 hint here in case anyone needs it. I had a devil of a time finding the co5 the co8 builds from. It'll be easier for Aussies than Americans. The co 5 has doubled vowels, and the 8 has the gerund ending.
4:49 am
Haz1558
The co 5/12 is a kind of call for attention.
4:51 am
melissamay
Oh, and sorry if I was unclear -- by doubled vowels for the co 5/12 I meant 2 sets of doubled vowels. The the co 8 builds from there.
4:53 am
melissamay
Does anyone have a clue for the he8/55, by any chance?
5:00 am
Yoink
I guess that's a no...
5:04 am
melissamay
I guess so, Yoink. Either that, or I've confused everyone so much with my co8 clue that they've given up the ghost entirely.
5:06 am
Ho Hum
he8/44 no def.
take yr he4/5 that sounds like a greeting, add a consonant and then a short word - if someone asked you how old you are, they could also ask your a**.
5:07 am
SweetTooth
He 8 - the state/condition of being a serf. Build on he 5/12
5:08 am
Ho Hum
even better clue esp as I didn't have the he5

9:04 am
Angelsong
clue for at6/24: You need this to successfully create a college term paper.
9:05 am
MissyMe
first ag7 is a word like irritated, excited, or like what a washing machine does to get clothes clean...it makes this type of movement. Change the last letter to a different vowel.
second ag7 Related to or descended from the father's or male side, (drop the "e" and add an "ic"ky ending to it)
9:07 am
MissyMe
tbear ewww vacuuming...ewww What a lovely sentiment that those flowers remind you of your mom :)

Missy, I was reading your profile, the bauldur's Gate Icewind Dale game, is it a spin off from the Salvatore book? I just recently started reading him and enjoy him quite a bit. It'd be nice to find a game that goes with the story...

10:32 am
hurshy

10:32 am
sherb
Bette Midler? ...looks more like Jessica Lange... I definitely need new glasses...
10:33 am
bunnyvicious
Hurshy, sorry, can't see it well. Maybe I need glasses too, what is it?
10:33 am
Norad
Good morning all and Happy Epiphany! Maybe one of these days my icon will actually match the theme...of course that would mean my 16 year old would have to show me how to do it... :)
10:33 am
hurshy
mine's the princess bride
10:34 am
tbear
Of course...Lola...we gunna have fun that nite girl..we'll go clubbing after....ooo and dinner...I'll start saving (bottle tops) Sherb it's Bette Midlers new slimline look...isn't she faberoo. Cheating a bit but have an 80s icon which I've been using on and off...my ex step-father said I remind him of her....which I love,I think!!
10:34 am
sherb

10:34 am
bunnyvicious
oooh, good one, my girl's love that movie
10:35 am
lola100

10:35 am
Norad
Hurshy, you've intrigued me... clues for the co 8? ...I can only get co 6...
10:35 am
Jen
Okay, I have moved on from Out of Africa to my idol of middle school years, this pic from Young Guns. Refresh please!
10:36 am
sherb
tbear - I'd be very happy to be compared with Bette... :)
10:36 am
Ouwachita
DONE...anyone need a clue???
10:37 am
hurshy
co 8 builds ridiculously off the previous co 5/12, a cockney british expression of wonder
10:37 am
Mary
hurshy, co8/55 The funniest word in babble, do you have a clue?
10:38 am
Ouwachita
mary...co8/55...5 vowels in a row
10:38 am
hurshy
yeah, o'chita, i need both ga 6's
10:38 am
Mary
Thanks, hurshy, got it, it is THE dumbest ever.
10:39 am
tbear
Sherb...I love her too but he's so sarcastic (ic ending word not in todays puzzle) you never know where he's coming from....'Stella' was one he never failed to mention once I'd had my first girl and he's gone on from there....She fab and loud and funny and soft and overemotional and everything,a rounded person...
10:39 am
Ouwachita
ga6...2nd one is the act of ga4.4...the 1st ga6...just change the middle consonant
10:44 am
bunnyvicious
Anyone have the he 8/55? Feel like I'm looking right at it but can't see it.
10:44 am
Norad
Hurshy, sometimes it takes me awhile...Thx, it is funny...
10:45 am
tbear
bunny try he4 greeting minus one consonant PLUS the 3 letter word that has the price on and a vowel
10:46 am
Ouwachita
he8...take the he5/12 just ahead of it and add the number of years you have been alive
10:47 am
bunnyvicious
Great clue! Thanks a million (apparently I haven't been looking right at it!).
10:49 am
hurshy
both le's
10:50 am
hurshy
oh, monkeytyped the double vowelled one
10:51 am
hurshy
and the other one - there is no surer way to get words than to ask for clues for them!
10:52 am
Jen
Hurshy, there's no def for the other one but if you google a Hungarian composer of the opera, "the merry widow", take his name and take out the "a"
10:57 am

As far as I can remember, punster, that's the very last scene in Batman isn't it....?
12:35 pm
Punster
Yeah, I figured you'd recognise it :->
If anyone needs help I'm online for a time yet and I'm pretty much finished the grid
12:35 pm
Anj
Yipe! Don't click on the [close] option on Dr God's message...
everything vanishes : /
12:36 pm
Yoink
I noticed that too Anj, it should have a warning, babblers close this notice at their own risk
12:36 pm
movieman
alright, punster, give us a clue for the co8 then.....
12:36 pm
mamabear
Yeah, Anj - I learned that the hard way!!!!
12:37 pm
Punster
Anj, too late I already did and almost died on the spot - it really freaked me out!

12:37 pm
speedfreak sam
hi everyone!
12:37 pm
Punster
extend the co5/12
12:37 pm
Anj
*phew!* thought my ISP was going to go breasts up again...
12:37 pm
GoBraves
the co8 is bogus in my mind, but it is the present tense of a word with 4 vowels in a row
12:38 pm
Hugabugs
Hi All.... How's it going?
12:38 pm
EasternBlue
Hi Sam...how's that new game you didn't know about that you rec'd for Channukkah??
12:38 pm

12:38 pm
GoBraves
and oops - 5 in a row for the co/8
12:38 pm
Yoink
Hi Sam, hi Hugabugs :)
12:38 pm
EasternBlue
Hi Hugs!
12:38 pm
movieman
punster- that's never a word in a million years.....
12:39 pm
Anj
...oh yes it is lol!
12:39 pm
Hugabugs
Hi Yoink... Hi EB.... long time no see EB!
12:40 pm
Punster
I believe the co8/55 is a completely invented word 'cos I can't believe its real
12:40 pm
GoBraves
I agree punster - most dubious word I have ever seen in this game
12:40 pm
EasternBlue
Hugs - I was away for the holidays...
I'll be travelling for work next week...so I'm trying to get my Babble fix this whole week!!
12:42 pm
brandyjack
The co8/55 may be dubious, but it has a definition. Or rather, the co5 it's based on has a definition and shows the extension.... Compared to so many of the words without a definition at the default dictionary.....
12:43 pm
Hugabugs
Hi Anj! :o)
12:43 pm
EasternBlue
attribute it to those crazy Aussies (they're all sleeping now, right??) 8 D
12:45 pm
mamabear
Left for a minute - came back to find all these intriguing messages re the co 8... now I must find it.... *mamabear dons her miner's hat and clicks on the light*
12:46 pm
speedfreak sam
I can't get the co8 at all!
12:47 pm
movieman
I'm leaving the game for the time being, I keep losing my Broadband connection.....
12:47 pm
EasternBlue
Sam - it's built off of a 5 (def. is here)
A peculiar cry uttered by the Australian aborigines as a call to attract attention, and also in common use among the Australian colonists
12:48 pm
speedfreak sam
see ya movieman!
12:48 pm
brandyjack
Sam, do you have the co5/12 that meane 'one who makes the sound of a dove or pigeon'?

Too bad for you movieman, I hope it firms up enough for you to finish up later.
I'm going to bug out myself, as I've managed to wrap up the grid and my mind needs a rest (and some caffeine) so I bid you all adieu.
12:53 pm
brandyjack
Sam, change the ending consonent to match the last vowel, (unless you already have the co with two sets of double vowels) then add a common three letter end'ing'...
12:53 pm
speedfreak sam
see ya punster!
12:53 pm
shorty
I see alot of people like dirty dancing another great movie Patrick Swayze hottie

Evan - fab icon! But can anyone settle a long runing dispue between me and my sister - at the end of the film in Evans icon, the boy shouts a name out of the window, but it is indistinguishable. I will give a pineapple to anyone who can actually make it out.....

*MOONCHILD!!*
4:16 pm
Dachef
"Moonchild"?!?! That was the name of his mother!?!? Suddenly, the movie has taken on a whole new meaning....
4:16 pm
EvaNadine
my college roommie actually wrote a paper based on the movie...
one of her main points was that the name was intelligible + purposely so -- so anyone could relate to it.
then she downloaded the script + saw the real name...heh...her theory was blown to bits!
4:16 pm
tbear
evanadine....eh?? Moonchild...bit random
4:16 pm
EvaNadine
precisely!
4:17 pm
Dachef
But that would mean Paula Yates was his grandmother!

what was the other choice?
4:24 pm
Dachef
there were no choices - she said that it was Sebastian, the same name as him, but my argument was that that was really stupid. The real answer seems even more ridiculous.

7:05 pm
evanonut

7:09 pm
hurshy

7:09 pm

7:09 pm
MissyMe

7:10 pm
MissyMe
Hi Blue I loved that movie...so funny!
7:11 pm
evanonut
oh yes, now i remember. #1 best selling movie of all time. but i'll take harry potter.
7:11 pm
hurshy
well now, i love harry potter, but i can't say the movies are all that great. they don't compare to the books.
7:12 pm
MissyMe
My all time favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption but there are so many others....*sigh*
7:12 pm
evanonut
not as good as the books, true...but do you really think it is possible?
7:12 pm
EasternBlue
Missy - that is an awesome movie!

7:24 pm

ga 6/30 this is like the word below it only with a different end"ing"
7:24 pm
periwinkle
MissyMe, don't think I have the first ro4/4
and actually I need help with both ro7/36
7:25 pm
MissyMe
Blue...that's pretty much where we're at...we're waiting for prices to come down
7:25 pm
EasternBlue
mama - ga + vowel + popular end___ in this puzzle!!
7:25 pm
mamabear
Missyme - I watched the first 3 Potter movies this week while I was home sick..... I thoroughly enjoyed them!!!!!
7:26 pm
MissyMe

7:27 pm
MissyMe
Mama I've seen the first two...such fun! They were real eye candy!
7:28 pm
MissyMe
both of the ro7's use that same ro4/4 word as their base...

7:28 pm
periwinkle
MissyMe, found the other ro4/4

The last ro7 has a different end"ing" than the other which is like the time in history, the stone***
7:32 pm

7:33 pm

7:35 pm
EasternBlue
mama - think crocodile...
7:35 pm
EasternBlue
mama...and it's nearby 'cousin' (abbreviated)
7:35 pm
MissyMe
Peri, I found this puzzle very frustrating!
ne6/24 this is when you cancel something out
the others are people who actually do the canceling, change the vowels in each suffix to get both words
7:36 pm
mamabear
thanks EB!!!!! an actual word, no less!!!! *embarassed*
7:36 pm
MissyMe
lol Mama! :D
7:37 pm
periwinkle
MissyMe, thanks so much, yes I am finding this puzzle quite frustrating and difficult.

Begging for clues again, to finish off the N's - ni5/12 and ni4/4
7:42 pm
EasternBlue
I'm working through the l's right now...no n's yet!
7:45 pm
Jacula
ni5/12 - think Ms. Kidman without the last vowel.
ni4/4 - a time of darkness with a different spelling.
7:45 pm
MissyMe
the base word of ha6/27 means "to have" and sounds like "hay" but change the last letter to a vowel. Now add an end"ing" to it :)
I hope that's a better clue :)
7:47 pm
periwinkle
Jacula, thanks found the ni/5 - I had tried it with the e on the end and it did not work, didn't think to drop the e. Still can't find that stupid ni4/4
7:48 pm
EasternBlue
peri - think of the opposite of morning....for the ni 4
7:49 pm
Jacula
Peri - opposite of 'day' or a chap on a white charger killing dragons or rescuing damsels.
7:49 pm
periwinkle
EB - DUH, I swore that I had typed that ni4/4 already.

8:19 pm

ag7: think of what a washing machine does, but end with a different vowel. Or someone who stirs up trouble.
8:19 pm

peri -
the ag 7 /36 - not related to the rocks...it's what you are trying to find the word!!

8:38 pm
mamabear
re 8/45?
8:39 pm
MissyMe
harpjane...this puzzle is a braintwister! I think several people have mentioned the same thing--that we had to struggle for every word!
8:39 pm
EasternBlue
Missy - gotta love those chimps...
I'd love to adopt a real live chimp...he or she might do better on this grid than me...
I've always wanted a chimp - they are so darn cute!
8:39 pm
MissyMe
re 8/45 this means you're reluctant to do something, holding back
8:39 pm
melissamay
re8 means shy, retiring. Take the first 4 letters of the re5 before it and add a word meaning a penny.
8:42 pm
melissamay
The dictionary def for re8 word for word is:
Inclined to keep one's thoughts, feelings, and personal affairs to oneself.
That might help if you need to google!
8:42 pm
MissyMe
EB they can be very difficult and get quite nasty in old age if not treated properly. I remember one chimp that had been raised in capitivity and donated in his older years to the San Francisco Zoo...he used to spit at people. So the zookeepers put a plastic screen up in front of his cage. Despite this, he spit over the screen through the top of his cage and hit people every time!
8:42 pm
mamabear
thanks mm.... now I gotta find the 5's above and below it!
8:43 pm
EasternBlue
Missy - I bet he was pissed he wasn't with his "family" any more...he showed them! That made me laugh!!
8:44 pm
mamabear

8:44 pm
harpjane
lo 8/55? I might as well start with the big ones!
8:44 pm

EB I was thinking the same thing. :( It was his way of showing his anger because now he was caged.
8:45 pm

Does anyone remember the movie, The Angry Red Planet? I just got it on DVD and forgot how weird the "technomagic" effects were. I'm thinking now it was one of those films you had to use the 3D glasses to watch. Anyone know if that's correct?

Hi Mamabear!
9:53 pm
MissyMe
K :) I'll hunt some 3D glasses down somewhere and see if that makes the scenes on mars pop out at me
9:53 pm
GreyWoulf
Missy -- just hit the IMDB -- here's the trivia bit they give:
The "Cinemagic" process, used for all scenes on the surface of Mars, was the result of an attempt by producer Norman Maurer to turn live-action footage directly into hand-drawn animation - or to simulate that. This would enable hand-drawn backgrounds to look as real (or as unreal) as the live action footage.
9:53 pm
