3:26 am

lshult

Ooops!!
That's my Mum's name.
GLAD SHE DOSN'T USE A COMPUTER

3:27 am

sprite

LOL Ishult! Shame on you ;)

3:27 am

Haz1558

She would be very mo6/21 to think you had forgotten her.

3:28 am

sprite

But Ishult's Re7/32 is honest enough to placate her.

3:28 am

Haz1558

I hope so!

3:30 am

lshult

I suppose I couldn't fo7 what a mistake I was going to make!!

3:31 am

FMitch

ooo nice one Ishult, didn't have that one, thanks.

3:31 am

sprite

She's your mum, she'll just think you are an Er6/18 youngster and forgive you.

3:32 am

sprite

FMitch: don't forget the person doing it then.

3:33 am

FMitch

3:39 am

Haz1558

There's an na7/32 ' marked by a condition of stupor' - relates to a type of drug.

3:41 am

sprite

I am being so incredibly blind. Could someone find it in his/her heart to give me another clue for that A5 that leads to the bigger ones?

3:42 am

Haz1558

ad5/14 - to change according to circumstances

3:42 am

FMitch

sprite, start from the 1st a and think about someone who can handle change .. they can ad5/14 to it

3:43 am

sprite

omg... please hand me the fish... thanks :)

3:45 am

sprite

And to think I was proud I had found the A4 for a door not completely closed. Real proud I was. Guess I just got kicked back into humility, lol.

3:46 am

FMitch

Don't beat yourself up sprite, as you have often said, we all do it!!!

Nice to see instead of the russian royalty we have an indian one for a change.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Babble is very cosmopolitan.

Pa6.

4:56 am

Eva

4:57 am

Eva

1 p left to find.

4:58 am

sprite

There is one Pa5 that only uses letters in the upper left corner. That was the last I found.

4:58 am

Eva

I don't understand why dogs with their tongues hanging out of their mouths on a hot day aren't pa_____!

4:59 am

jo_jo

wow it took me a while to catch on to that clue lol

4:59 am

sprite

Probably for the same reason people that leave us aren't Pa7.

5:01 am

Eva

you've got me stumped with that left corner one Sprite-either I can't see it or i have it and am not recognizing it. Pretty please for more of a clue?

5:01 am

5:11 am

sprite

Fo7/40

5:11 am

jo_jo

i was lol. not managed to complete a puzzle yet, just like lookin for words

5:12 am

sprite

I truly believe that is the whole purpose of the game, enjoy looking for words. Nm how many you find, each one is fun. Well, that and enjoying the chat log, I admit ;)

5:12 am

Eva

the one I have is about telling the future. I also have the person who does that , which is an fo8. Is there another 7 with the same point count?

5:13 am

sprite

You listed a Fo7/44, which I do not have. There was no Fo7/40 in your list.

5:15 am

Eva

oooops! It should have been fo7/40. Mea maxima culpa to anyone I may have confused! The corrected list is:

FMitch posted this: "found another f7/40, don't know if it's been posted before. Means to preceed/go before."
I am not sure if I have that one.

5:17 am

Eva

I've been assuming that it's the seeing the future one...but maybe not.

5:18 am

sprite

Doesn't seem to fit the word, but who knows, lol.

5:18 am

Eva

thanks for the reminder sprite! got it. It wasn't the same one. use the same prefix and then to move swiftlyin the past tense.

5:19 am

Eva

sounds like a computer language minus a t.

5:20 am

sprite

Ow of course! I think I better hang on to that fish today. Thanks :)

5:20 am

Eva

No fish needed-I never would have found it without your nudge.

5:20 am

sprite

Good teamwork then, for the same goes for me :)

5:21 am

Eva

well a cold but bright day for the moment, so I think with 27 left to find that I'll feed Merp and go for a walk before the rain rolls in again. Been lots of fun playing with you this morning Sprite!

5:47 am

sprite

5:49 am

cliffopa

ssshhh sprite! the last time i heard talk of a 400+ grid, one showed up the next day :)

5:50 am

sprite

That's true, cliffopa!
*hushes up very quickly*

5:51 am

cliffopa

let's all think of small grids....not too small tho because those under 100 actually seem harder.

5:53 am

sprite

I remember a 23 words grid that took me half the day, but that was before the lists and clues time.

5:54 am

cliffopa

before lists and clues? yikes! i can't imagine. i've only been able to do one complete grid without a list.

5:55 am

rumplestiltskin

Mornin all from Kansas! Cool here today but supposed to warm up later this week.

Well, time to get started - 6:00 a.m.

5:55 am

sprite

The only help we had back then was what other players chose to share. The chatlog was usually not over 30 posts.

5:57 am

cliffopa

i think the chat is one of the greatest resources now. seems like a friendly, helpful bunch.

5:57 am

rumplestiltskin

Yesterday was bread baking day so I made part of the dough into cinnamon rolls. Will have one with my tea for breakfast. Yummy!!

5:58 am

cliffopa

5:58 am

sprite

rumple, make some room there, we are all coming to share your breakfast :)

5:59 am

rumplestiltskin

Thanx. We missed those, did get some hail though, some towns north of us had baseball size that knocked out all car windows

5:59 am

rumplestiltskin

You are sure welcome Sprite, I have enough for the week, but sure could have a big party. LOL

6:00 am

cliffopa

i can't imagine what people do when the hail is that large. very scary.

and please pass the cinnamon rolls :)

6:01 am

sprite

Done, and I have to go. Enjoy this wonderful grid and happy hunting to all!

6:01 am

cliffopa

by sprite - have a good day!

Jacula

7:52 am

bluephlox

i'm adding another, i want factor

7:52 am

bluephlox

I've wondered that for a long time jac

7:52 am

shorty

good question

7:52 am

musicmom

Hey Jac - isn't it nice how we all come together and get in a groove here?

7:53 am

Jacula

Yes, MusicMom. It is.

7:53 am

faeriekae

trace is my word

7:53 am

shorty

and why isnt some one who wears pa**s a pa**er?

7:54 am

Jacula

Shorty - I wondered that, too, but I was thinking of someone out of breath.

7:54 am

faeriekae

excellent question Shorty

7:54 am

bluephlox

here is a question for the group. abe and i are coworkers so are right next to each other. is anyone else here in the same room with another player?

7:55 am

shorty

No not me

7:55 am

musicmom

Not normally bluephlox but if we get a wireless connection at our cabin next week BGL and I will probably be playing together.

7:55 am

Jacula

bluephlox - I'm alone today but, sometimes, my partner's on the laptop playing in the same room.

7:56 am

shorty

whos that jacula?

7:56 am

bluephlox

that's fun. it's nice having someone doing this in the same room even if you're not doing it together. you can complain about phantom words- which we do often.

7:57 am

Uludaas

Anyone managed to get the third (from licketysplits list) pa5/12. I need a clue.

Its my last word! and I have been stuck on it now for 40 minutes.

7:57 am

Jacula

Mt partner's also been known to nip onto a computer when he gets back to the depot and post on the log asking me why I'm Babbling and not making his dinner! LOL.

7:57 am

bluephlox

because babbling is more fun:)

7:57 am

Jacula

Shorty - My partner's Paul69 but he doesn't often post on the log.

7:58 am

shorty

oh i was gonna say ive never seen him

8:02 am

Jacula

My pa5/12's so far are:

Polynesian wraparound skirt
omething you peel fruit or potatoes with.
Young fishes (esp. salmon) (Think of one of Henry VIII's wives.).
Latin 'father'.

8:03 am

Jacula

*Something (lost an 's' there).

8:03 am

musicmom

8:04 am

faeriekae

8:05 am

Uludaas

There are 13 re words

8:05 am

faeriekae

8:06 am

musicmom

LOL faerie --- I think every faerie should have a rhinestone zipper.

8:06 am

faeriekae

LOL me too !!!

(*^_^*)

8:07 am

Jacula

MusicMom - I think ARB said earlier that only 4 of the re's are doing again words.

8:07 am

faeriekae

I want craft to be a word.

8:07 am

Jacula

BRB. Need lunch - my tummy's rumbling.

8:07 am

musicmom

Thanks Jac. I would hereby like to declare (once again) I hate words that start with re and I believe that we should decree them illegal.

8:08 am

faeriekae

later Jacs

8:08 am

kakk

does anyone know how many words is there to find?

8:09 am

faeriekae

I second that Music....

8:09 am

faeriekae

198

8:09 am

rumplestiltskin

Jacula, I have homemade bread with butter and cinnamon rolls and a Highland beef roast with potatoes and carrots in the oven. Sound good?

8:10 am

musicmom

hmmmmm rump - think i'm coming over -- I'll bring some coffee.

8:10 am

Uludaas

Thanks for the help Jacula. I think that I am missing the "Polynesian wraparound skirt".

Now I just have to work out what that is!

8:10 am

rumplestiltskin

OK, around noon

8:11 am

faeriekae

Music I had one the cinnamon rolls earlier I'm have roast for lunch with Rump. Sounds delicious.

8:12 am

musicmom

I may need to do leftovers for dinner or tomorrow. I drive fast but not that fast. It is at least 12 hours to Kansas from here.

8:12 am

Jera

Greetings, fellow Babblers! How goes the grid today?

8:12 am

faeriekae

the cinnamons are to die for (;drool;)

8:12 am

kakk

thank you - a good bit to go then...

8:13 am

musicmom

It's not too bad Jera. Well, except for the dreaded re.

8:13 am

Jera

Ugh... re words... ptui!

8:13 am

faeriekae

{{{Jera}}} *sprinkle* *sprinkle* *sprinkle*

8:14 am

Jera

{{{Faerie}}}

Thanks!

8:14 am

faeriekae

yw :)

8:16 am

Jera

*takes a deep breath & dives into the re- list, hopefully to return before too long*

8:17 am

musicmom

recrap should be a word. It is recrap every time we have to type re words<G> Feeling like a whiner today.

8:18 am

faeriekae

You'll get through the re's Music you always do. Me on the other hand.....not so sure???

8:18 am

musicmom

let me go first Faerie and then I can zip you through them.

8:18 am

faeriekae

I just finished the c's does that count for anything? LOL

8:19 am

musicmom

so far what I am seeing is that they are all common babble words and not too difficult. I make it harder when I look for the really strange ones and miss the normal ones.

8:19 am

Uneaixoise

of course! congrats on the c's!

8:20 am

faeriekae

thans Une - love the icon :)

8:20 am

Uludaas

*Crys*!

I finally got it! No wonder I could not work it out. I thought the Polynesian wraparound skirt ended in the letter "U", but it has another spelling!

Thanks again for the help Jacula, I can now go get some sleep!

8:20 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

8:20 am

musicmom

absolutely - that means you will have clues for me when I get there. I'm trying a new method today. I'm working back ward through the alphabet but without the list first. When I find all the words I can with any one letter then I go to the list.

8:21 am

faeriekae

Uludaas are you finished?

8:21 am

musicmom

Wonderful Uludaas!!! Does this mean you are finished?

8:21 am

Uneaixoise

that's my "method" too, MM :-)

8:22 am

rumplestiltskin

I changed my icon because if you eat enough of these you will have to undo your zipper.

8:22 am

Jera

Done with the R's (please don't hit me!)!

8:23 am

Uludaas

Yes I am finished!

I am improving slowly I can almost get half the words without looking at lickeysplits now.

8:23 am

faeriekae

Rump - I'll have another one please and thank you. Looks soooooooo gooooood.....

8:23 am

musicmom

BRAVO Uludaas

8:24 am

Jera

Huzzah for Uludaas!!

My goal is halfway without help... very good!

8:24 am

faeriekae

~~~~~congratulations uludaas~~~~~~

WHOOT!!!!!!!

8:24 am

Uludaas

I am happy to stay for a while and try to provide clues for anyone that needs it

8:25 am

faeriekae

Jera - how dare you tell everyone that. You know how sensitive Music is about those damned re words.

8:25 am

rumplestiltskin

*********FIREWORKS***********

for ULUDAAS

8:25 am

Uludaas

Jera,

I find that I can only do it for the lists that have around 150ish words anything more or anything less are usually to obscure for me to get

8:25 am

faeriekae

oops was supose to <beep> out the bad word.

8:26 am

Jera

This one is nice... lots of patterns...

The good news is you have another hint-giver in me, Faerie!

8:26 am

Jera

I think bad words are called for when discussing re words...

8:27 am

faeriekae

Excellent point Jera!!

8:28 am

faeriekae

brb-- Music knows where I'm going :)

8:28 am

musicmom

<gasp gasp gasp> one more re but I had to come up for air.

Jera --- I don't know whether to congratulate you and ignore you................. okay ---- Good Job!!!

8:30 am

musicmom

LOL Faerie

Jera what in the world is the re5/10 between the get up again 6/18 and the cut again 6/21?

8:31 am

Jera

Maybe this will help you feel better... I can't find a <beef> pa4/5!! I hate it when the little words elude me!

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

is it the "look at again"?

8:32 am

Jera

Maybe cuz I don't get that hint...

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

that was for the re5/10 :)

8:33 am

Jera

It's either the last pa4/5 or the second to last one... I have the tope of head one

8:33 am

Jera

LOL, Unea...

8:33 am

Llysse

pa 4/5 is also a bald head

8:33 am

musicmom

Thanks Une. It is but I swear I still don't see how to get there. Oh well. It's in the list now.<G>

8:34 am

Jera

I have that one, I need the other one Llysse

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

MM, i find that it often helps to stand on your head and cross your eyes!

8:35 am

Llysse

Oh, um--the breathing hard?

8:35 am

musicmom

Do you have the one that is what you do to an apple?

8:36 am

Jera

Yes, that's the second one...

8:36 am

Uneaixoise

do you have the wife of Henry VIII?

8:36 am

Jera

I need either the 4th or 5th one, I have top of head

8:36 am

Llysse

Or what you do to your hair, or the red sea...?

8:37 am

Jera

Ye gods, I'm an idiot, had the plural but not the single! Thanks, Unea!!

8:38 am

Llysse

There's also what you do to an apple or potato, another word for peel. Sorry I never know which one is being asked for!!! :(

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

Just watched Helen Mirren in Elizabeth I and have all those courtly women on the brain! :-)

8:40 am

Jacula

Jac LOL's at Jera because she, of course, has *never* had a plural but missed the singular. *Hopes nose doesn't grow as she types this.*

8:41 am

Jera

That ja is dirty pool... proper noun!!!

8:42 am

Ouwachita

DONE...anyone need a clue??

8:42 am

Jacula

Jera - it also means to coat with black enamel.

8:42 am

musicmom

brb

8:43 am

musicmom

I lost my coffee cup.

8:43 am

Uneaixoise

8:57 am

musicmom

Une I have never seen them live. We had the DVDs in the music library where I worked. They were just on the Today show. It is fascinating to me.

8:58 am

Jera

Musicmom, what does your icon say? The answer to the question, I presume?

8:58 am

abe79

yeah jera!

8:58 am

musicmom

Bravo Jera!

8:58 am

8:58 am

musicmom

I have 108 --- combo of list and no list.

8:58 am

bbnaz

easy for you to say, i have been staring at it now for a bit over 30 minutes and barely have 20+ words.

8:58 am

Jera

I'm so proud of you Jacula! I think I set up the list around 50 left, not sure

8:59 am

Jacula

BB - have a coffee and try again. It'll soon start falling into place.

9:00 am

Jera

My son actually went in to school today so I should get busy doing something useful around the house... but I'd rather hang out here! :>

9:00 am

Uneaixoise

MM, they are absolutely magical live--this will only be our second show . . . but it's fun to watch them on Bravo

9:00 am

Jacula

Jera - I'm bound to hit a wall soon. I'll get a list when I do.

9:04 am

musicmom

Someday Une I'm going to see them live. I love watching them on my little t.v. screen so I know I would love them in person.

9:05 am

9:07 am

rumplestiltskin

Yeah, finished the R's, now on to the P's. I always work backwards.

My daughter & fiance have Rockbanners booth at OZZFEST and get to meet and have lunch with all the bands on tour. Exciting, but sure wears them out.

9:11 am

Jera

I do the same thing Rumple... working backwards. Just seems to go faster for some reason.

9:12 am

Jera

Well, I am literally falling asleep at teh computer, so i think it's time for a nap. Gwyd wasn't feeling well last night & he just had to sleep with me... I woke up to find him on top of me. The kid must like a lumpy mattress...

9:12 am

rumplestiltskin

It's easy to see the words as they come up. Don't have to keep scrolling down

9:12 am

It's not a proper noun when referring to black enamel

AOL Instant Messenger. It's a free download - www.aim.com

hurshy

if you get it, and sign up with the same screen name, i will chat with you :)

1:01 pm

I still have 144 left - I may not be able to make a dent until tonight, but I shall try! Did everyone catch Jacula's icon earlier?

1:02 pm

torgone

I don't remember that commercial, and I'm definitely old enough ..

1:02 pm

1:04 pm

Angela

i have the original album and the zipper actually works. neat.

1:04 pm

mamabear

speaking of, did anyone catch the Stones at the Super Bowl? Someone needs to tell those boys to retire....

1:05 pm

Angela

it's painful. saw The Who a few years ago - before the Ox passed away and they were incredible. But Keith Richards looks like h-e-double hockey sticks.

1:05 pm

Karina

corpses on stage is not my idea of entertainment

Vicuna

No, hursh, I haven't downloaded yet. I set out to do so and was distracted on the way. Now my parents are to arrive this afternoon and I have to transform my "studio" into a guest room, etc etc. Stuff that is not nearly so satisfying as Babbling/babbling. Yet it must be done...

1:34 pm

MikeyInBerlin

1:35 pm

evanonut

you'll live to literati again mikey

1:35 pm

Vicuna

1:35 pm

mamabear

helen - definitely!!!! If you like Scrabble, you'll LOVE Literati!!!! *so ends this commercial message, and now back to our regularly scheduled program*

1:35 pm

hurshy

1:37 pm

Angela

2:15 pm

MikeyInBerlin

he does, Deutsch??? :-o wow, ok; well, i've worn a dress before, actually.....lol; i played the part of a female impersonator, impersonating Marilyn Monroe, for a humourous cabaret show i was in once.....that took a lot of prep work! :-P oh ja; and MAMABEAR thinks i should dance in a pink tutu, don't you, MAMA? ;-)

2:16 pm

Hang in there grant - how many left to go?

2:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

awww, Deutsch! I was seriously considering watching that (yeah...because I'm 18...*coughs*) because of the guy it was based on, Ed Gein...but I decided, er, against it in the end *lip trembles*

Well, okay, my mum didn't let me...:)

2:16 pm

boreetos

any help on the other j word. I've got the denim one.

2:16 pm

stidmama

now Mikey, it would depend on which pink -- not the light, fluffy pink, I hope! nor even the bright fuschia color -- perhaps something a little more dignified, like the color of the edges of the english daisies in my lawn?

2:17 pm

Deutsch

Yes, he does, Mikey. and the next day, he was in the backyard without a shirt. He's just a skinny old hippy. yuck!

2:17 pm

stidmama

go grant go!

2:17 pm

lynxxx

sc 5.12 pls

2:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

wah, several j-rockers wear skirts and stuff but by some freak of nature thing they actually look GOOD in them.

unfortunately it lead to my science teacher telling me a male j-rocker in my planner was "very sexy"

2:18 pm

stidmama

which sc 5/12?

2:18 pm

lynxxx

boreetos - wood/varnish finish (I think) same as country

2:18 pm

boreetos

he, who hasn't worn a dress a time or two. Hell, I wore a bright red spandex bodysuit for halloween one year.
(I was Marvin the Martian)

2:18 pm

MikeyInBerlin

oh my yes, stidmama; it would have to be just my shade of pink, of course! ;-) hmm, Deutsch.....i don't see anything wrong with a guy being in his own backyard shirtless, but i'll remember to always have one on when i see you on messenger from now on! ;-) lol

2:18 pm

stidmama

yes boreetos, but when you were ten doesn't really count

:-)

2:19 pm

movieman

I'm waiting for X3 as well, also Sin City 2, the remake of The Omen (released on 6/6/06, how apt is that?), Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, Superman Returns, Clerks 2, and the remake of Casino Royale (it'll be much more serious this time).....

2:19 pm

sc 5.12 the last one mama

2:19 pm

boreetos- did you see memoirs of a geisha? might help with your J-word

2:19 pm

MikeyInBerlin

wouldn't want to frighten you again, after all! :-P

2:20 pm

I don't mind that he was shirtless. But the image, along with the day before's visual were a bit much.

2:20 pm

oggy

im done. late today.

2:20 pm

stidmama

sc 5/12: I think it's a sort of curtain they use in the theater? like a sc**** door in the summer without the last cons.

2:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

Interesting visual there, Boreetos...

2:20 pm

MikeyInBerlin

i wear a lot of spandex/lycra, boreetos.....dance tights, unitards, etc!

2:20 pm

movieman

Deutsch - you should watch TCM, 'cos despite the title, there's hardly any blood or gore in it at all......

It's more psychologically scary......

2:20 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lol, Deutsch; ja, i guess that would be a bit strange! :-P

2:21 pm

stidmama

movieman, glad you mentioned Pirates 2 -- we will definitely go see that (but usually we see movies at home -- it's cheaper)

2:21 pm

MikeyInBerlin

hmm; at least he wasn't shirtless in a skirt.....or was he?

2:21 pm

boreetos

movieman, i concur, Clerk 2 especially. I'm something of a Kevin Smith fan(atic). Pirates 2 looks really promising, and I hope the best for Superman Returns... Sin City 2 cannot suck folling the sheer unadulterated awesomeness of the first one. And being a fan of Lay3r Cak3, I have good feelings about the new Bond.

2:21 pm

stidmama

mikey -- i'd rather a man be shirtless in a skirt than the other way round!

2:22 pm

boreetos

yeah, its true, I got the bodysuit at a dance wear supply house.

thanks for the j clues as well everyone, I forgot to say before.

2:22 pm

stidmama

okay, I really must focus now... disappearing momentarily into the grid!

2:22 pm

Miyavi_fan

ooh, I lie. There's like...ONE movie I'm looking forward to seeing. Oresama!

since they're actually subtitling it at last, so I don't have to try and follow the plot going on whenever they say "thank you"

2:22 pm

Deutsch

Mikey, LOL. No, he was wearing je**s.
thanks for the tip movie. I sometimes forget about that channel.

2:23 pm

MikeyInBerlin

lmao; shirtless in a skirt, stidmama??? :-P hehe; you've really got us laughing here with that one!!! :-D

2:23 pm

lynxxx

tnx stidmama - sc 5.12 are actually small loose stones

2:23 pm

MikeyInBerlin

huh, Deutsch? why write it as 'je**s', if you mean 'jeans'? that's not a bad word around here, is it? :-/

2:23 pm

boreetos

I like the look of the Promise as well. It looks awesome. Along the same lines as Crouching Tiger, Hero and House of Flying Daggers.

2:24 pm

movieman

Deutsch - when I said TCM, I was abbreviating the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.....

2:24 pm

boreetos

no mikey, je** isn't a bad word, but its in the grid today.

2:24 pm

Deutsch

*whispers* (It's in the grid)

2:24 pm

blueskies29

hi all. just got started...any help for cr6/21 please?

2:24 pm

MikeyInBerlin

and of course, that figures, boreetos; i get all my dancewear from such places! :-)

2:24 pm

boreetos

i wonder if that's the first time that Turner Classic Movies and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre have been confused?

2:25 pm

MikeyInBerlin

i know; i did the 'je' section some time ago now....but had you not drawn attention to it that way, i'm sure nobody would've concluded that, anyhow? :-P

2:25 pm

movieman

I also like the look of Tony Jaa's next movie, Tom yung goong.....

2:25 pm

Deutsch

thanks, for the clarification, movie. I thought you were strangely changing the subject! LOL Okay. I think Friday afternoon in broad daylight I will watch the movie.

2:26 pm

mikey it's babble protocol.

2:26 pm

Tom yung goong - sounds like something you should have on rice with sweet & sour sauce and an eggroll

2:26 pm

Deutsch

Movie, now I look forward to watching it. Psyco scary is my favorite.

2:26 pm

boreetos

D, i think the original TCM is better, creepy in different ways. But the new one isn't too bad. They pretty much just updated it and changed some things.

2:27 pm

ruthy

can anyone please give me a clue for the 1st pa 5/12

2:27 pm

boreetos, I think I have to original. At least that's what I meant to get.

2:30 pm

boreetos

speaking of psycho horror, I just picked up this game called "ZOMBIES!!!" It's an ever changing board game that pits the players against eachother and a hoard of advancing Zombies! It's good fun, and come to find out, there are several expansion packs that feature things like Glow in the Dark Zombies and DevilDogs! woot!

2:30 pm

mamabear

With a side order of sum yung ting

2:30 pm

Miyavi, I don't know. But I've always liked those types of movies. I'm a fan of Hitchcock. *thinks for a minute* Actually, my mom was pregnant with me when she saw Psycho....

2:30 pm

sorry temple owl i havent got a clue

2:31 pm

I agree movie
BRB, need to get the dog

2:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

lol Deutsch...well Japanese cinema does have a rep for being slightly warped :)

however, I can't really imagine my mum bopping to Diru with me nestled up in the womb, unless she's been hiding an obsession really, really well...

2:37 pm

movieman

Is anyone else, like me, a fan of Peter Jackson's pre-LOTR output, i.e. Bad Taste, Braindead (aka Dead Alive), The Frighteners etc....?

2:38 pm

blueskies29

i''m going to have nightmares just reading about these movies!! i didnt' finish nightmare on elm st. as a kid..it freaked me out too badly! and i haven't even attempted to watch the Ring!

2:38 pm

boreetos

It's a board game, and it's made by Journeyman Press.
It's cool, veryone starts out at Town Square and on your turn you flip over a map card and lay it down to add to the board, so its different everytime and you never know what the city is going to look like. Plus you might be going somewhere and someone else puts a dead-end on the end of your road. The first one to the helicopter wins. :)

2:39 pm

movieman

Boreetos - I can rember watching some of the Elm Street movies when I was younger too, (about 12 years old I think).....

I couldn't sleep on my own for at least a week afterwards.....

2:39 pm

boreetos

movieman, heck yes! Not too keen on meet the feebles, but Dead Alive and Braindead are terrific. And the Frightners is one of my fav Mike Fox movies!

2:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Blueskies - don't!!! don't watch the Ring!!!

*rocks gently back and forth, humming*

it does...strange things to your mind...O.o

Movie, didn't Jackson also do a movie about two girls in Australia who kill one's mother?

2:42 pm

The real shocker for us was the $3000 estimate for painting our living-dining room, entrance hall and stairwell!

There is so much building going on around here, the trades can demand just about anything!

YAY lynxxx!

4:15 pm

smithchick

It's pretty reasonable around here usually, but we bought four lots and the water company is treating it like a subdivision of which we are the developers as opposed to being the sole owners of a 30 acre tract of property. So we can't just run a line. We have to do the whole main. The engineer that gave us the estimate was my husband's uncle. I shudder to think what it would be without a family discount!

Thanks for ryinhg to meet my needs, Stid. My last message was all scrambled because the phone rang in the middle and made me jump; then I pressed "send" without pause to regard the work of my clumsy fingers. Now, Spanish is not one of my languages--I thought the masc. sing pronoun was as in "* *Cid", and there isn't an "L" in the grid. Is there some other way of suggesting the last letter, please?

4:41 pm

bonkler

time to beg for clues. i need the last three cr words, cr6/21 cr5/18 and cr7/44. will clue for food.

4:45 pm

JBsAnno

bonkler, think 'volcano' and also the plural

4:45 pm

Haz1558

cr6/21 - c plus Miss Witherspoon's first name.

4:45 pm

bonkler

ah, for the cr7 add a hospitals trauma room initials to it, like the famous tv show

4:46 pm

JBsAnno

...or the many round impact spots visible on the face of the Moon.

4:46 pm

bonkler

marvelous, thanks haz!

4:46 pm

smithchick

Thanks, haz! I needed that one too!

4:46 pm

just got that - I was trying to spell that in the wrong direction. how about the 2nd cr6/21?

4:47 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome!

4:47 pm

4:47 pm

three to go. my brain always seems to turn into pudding toward the end of a grid.

4:48 pm

rumplestiltskin

down to 3, need c5,12
I have the apple center plural and the one that rhymes with horse

4:48 pm

Haz1558

The second cr6/21 - c plus Miss Witherspoon's first name.

4:49 pm

bonkler

ar5 the product of creative work + the phonetic spelling of the 12th letter

4:49 pm

vpchat

haz1558, just saw your clue back there. Thanks!

4:49 pm

mamabear

JBsAnno - the juxta-what of my who?

4:50 pm

Haz1558

The last co5/12 switches round the last letters of the plural apple one.

4:50 pm

hetty

Excuse my ignorance, Haz, but who the blankety-blank is Miss Witherspoon when she's at home?

4:50 pm

rosalind230

Thanks bonkler got it now

4:50 pm

boreetos

hi.

4:51 pm

Haz1558

But the one you're looking for is the one that takes the co4 out of the apple.

4:51 pm

bonkler

cheers rosalind

4:52 pm

Haz1558

Hetty - she's an actress. For you another clue might be, a different spelling of what you try to get rid of when you iron.

4:52 pm

bonkler

da6/21 after the pub gamers and before the romantic meeting?

4:52 pm

rumplestiltskin

Thanks Haz, 2 crs left

4:52 pm

Haz1558

da6/21 - plural adventurers (da5)

4:53 pm

boreetos

im missing a d.

I've got three to do with challenging people
I've got three to do with throwing games
I've got three to do with courtship

what am i missing?

4:53 pm

Haz1558

Or the da6/21 - pub game plus French masculine 'the'

4:53 pm

4:55 pm

bonkler

thanks haz. the french pronoun did it!

4:56 pm

Haz1558

Hooray for French pronouns!

4:56 pm

hetty

Haz, I never iron. Could it be anagram of crease? Wrinkle? Dampness? surely not. Unlike the iron I used to use, I'm mystfied (mist, don't you know, used to come out of it. For me it's IN the head, all the time)

4:56 pm

boreetos

oh nevermind, i was missing the french pronoun one as well!

LOL to you too, Boreetos. We seem to be on a women's names kick today--if you read your Dickens you'll descover the surname of Rosa, which is how I came to know the da**** word. Now, thanks to Haz I know the name of an actress I've never heard of before (any relation to Diana Reese? Does she spell it "Rhyse" perhaps, or "Rise" like the opera singerof my day?) and also the name of a Malayan dagger, which I'm sure will come in useful around the house, much as the iron used to do. THANK YOU Haz, my love. You are a princess

Hi Jac, how are you today?: Like the others I'm quite wowed by your icon. There must be a reason you chose it, but perhaps it's best not to know. I've been strugglung with strange words for three hours and I'm only halfvway through, so I'm off for a while to cook a good dinner for my very own hero.

6:19 pm

6:39 pm

faeriekae

Nope Jacs I don't. Thanks for your concern. I used to do that years ago. But I learned my lesson.

6:40 pm

Jacula

Missyem - sometimes it's a Latin day and you need to add an 'a' or an 'ae', if in doubt. Today's definitely an add an 's' or an 'er' day.

fo7/40 - to predict the future.

6:52 pm

mich_pdx

yes, this isn't scrabble. there's something about 13 words that start with "pa" that is a little daunting -- got all the 6 letter ones, tho.... now to Lickety's clues & monkey-typing as reqd

6:53 pm

Jacula

Hi again, Faerie. Was it you I saw in the log a while ago saying your place is haunted? If so, there's probably nothing to fear. My place is full of animals 'gone before', or used to be. It's been quiet lately, though.

6:53 pm

ExWren

tndaisy, just read your bio, I figured CA is California but where is TN?

6:53 pm

faeriekae

I need the 2nd ta 4/4 it has to get the rest of be related to the 5/10 and 6/18 right?

6:54 pm

Peri - Only one fr7, a 7/40, plural of the fr5 before it.

6:55 pm

Jacula

Peri - Sorry! Plural of the fr6 before it.

6:55 pm

ExWren

Oh yes, didn't think of all those n's and e's and s's!
I have been to Calif. though

6:55 pm

Jacula

(Latin for brother/s.)

6:56 pm

periwinkle

thanks, Jacula, guess I don't have the right fr5 yes. Haven't checked lickety's list yet,

6:56 pm

tndaisy1960

where in Calif, Wren?

6:57 pm

Jacula

Faerie - 2nd ta4/4:
1. The weight of a container or wrapper that is deducted from the gross weight to obtain net weight.
2. A deduction from gross weight made to allow for the weight of a container.
3. Chemistry. A counterbalance, especially an empty vessel used to counterbalance the weight of a similar container.

All the words sound like black sticky stuff on the roads or on flat roofs.

6:59 pm

faeriekae

OMG - I should know that one by heart I worked for a trucking company for 14yrs. I know all about the gross weight and ta** weights....pass the fish

6:59 pm

ExWren

My husbands Male choir had a tour there, started in San Fransisco, then Yuba City, Sacramento, Fresno, Porterville, and Los Angeles, (I've missed one out but I can't remember which one)

6:59 pm

Jacula

Peri - for the fr word you seek think of the first 4 letters of the fr****cide word that means the murder of a brother. Failing that, think of an fl** (level surface) and change the 2nd letter.

7:00 pm

mich_pdx

I think I had it last, don't mind the feathers....

7:00 pm

Jacula

Passes the pa4/5 and pa5/12 over to Faerie.

7:00 pm

7:02 pm

Minski

Could someone please help me with the ES5/12?

7:02 pm

ExWren

Yuba City is supposed to be the 'Prune' capital of the US isn't it?

7:03 pm

tndaisy1960

Wren, I have NO idea, but I'll ask His Majesty when he gets home! lol

7:04 pm

Jacula

Minski - es5/12 is a Scottish tax, apparently. It was a new word to me, also.

The clue that got it for me was, 'You might have to pay for one to accompany you at night. Take out the 'r'.'

7:04 pm

faeriekae

LOL

7:04 pm

joey

es 5 - old fashioned neckware - change the a to an e.

or what you need for a formal night (partner of the opposite sex) drop the r

7:04 pm

periwinkle

2nd cr6/21 anyone?

7:05 pm

Jacula

'Prune' capital?? Does that mean they use more toilet paper per capita than anywhere else.

Sorry! UK toilet humour. We can't help it!

7:05 pm

joey

cr 6, what you put in your pants if you iron them, change the second vowel to the second vowel

7:55 pm

Jacula

For the or4 word - if you're not a game player and have not read Lord of The Rings then try this: Think of a killer whale, or**. Then change the last letter to a curly consonant to make a plural.

7:55 pm

periwinkle

Minski, got it, thanks

7:56 pm

inge

Gee thanks Jacula, I should look up the definitions more often, then I could figure out more plurals. Thanks again.

Faerie. Okay. Talk soon.xx

7:56 pm

periwinkle

periwinkle

found one of the tr7 and its singular tr6

7:57 pm

inge

I could use help with the re 7/32, the one before running a race again

7:57 pm

Minski

Both TR7s are the plurals of the TR6s.

7:58 pm

Jacula

tr4/4 - a constant Babble word. 'Tax on wares in transit'.

Think of a lovely gift or act, a tr***, and then take out the 2nd vowel.

7:58 pm

Sherylr1961

evanonut

8:15 pm

abe79

walnutchen, could you clue me in on er 6/12?

8:15 pm

Jacula

8:16 pm

Jacula

8:16 pm

renfield

Jacula

Abe - there is no er6/12?

8:17 pm

My post impied that those two words had gotten lost on my records, so I found them. Still dont know what they are though.

8:17 pm

abe79

just realized that...my brain is mush. less than 20 words...thanks jacula

8:17 pm

Jacula

'Bye Ren. Thanks again to you and Smaller for the cards. Much appreciated.xx

8:17 pm

tndaisy1960

TAking a break, finished or not; my eyes feel like two holes in the snow...bbl if he's not home by then. Ty for all the help, asked for and mooched.

8:19 pm

Jacula

8:20 pm

Jacula

Inge - what words are you referring to?

8:20 pm

mich_pdx

8:21 pm

Jacula

'Bye Missy. 15 to go. You'll do it.

8:22 pm

inge

found the te 6/18, now only the pa 6/21

8:22 pm

abe79

ok, i was trying to ask for es 5/12 before...will trade for other clues!

8:24 pm

mich_pdx

thx Jacula

8:24 pm

Jacula

Not sure if anyone wants (or is even left in here) to get advice on Babbling now. However, the best method I have found is to find words in no particular order, except for the patterns they make and lead on to, and also to go away and do other things when you hit a wall.

I (or more often my Other Half, Paul, who gets up before me) handwrites the grid. So, most of it is done on paper, stream of consciousness etc., with no lists and no clues.

8:25 pm

inge

Jacula, I was referring to my 8:15 post, the pa 6 I need is above the talking bird and after the apple skinning gadget.

8:25 pm

featherbee

hi all, ap5,12? i have one, like you are ap*** to do something (lol, i guess that's how you'd use it!)

8:26 pm

Jacula

Inge - pa4/5 - young fish (usually a salmon) under 2 years' of age. Otherwise, think of one of Henry VIII's Wives, one of the Catherines.

8:26 pm

abe79

that's great advice, jacula. i do the stream of consciousness for the first hour when i'm at work. it gets a lot of words and you can then fill in the blanks

8:28 pm

inge

Sorry jacula I have the fish, I need the lpa 6/21 rigth above it.

8:29 pm

Jacula

Abe - did you get the es word yet? If not, think e+someone whose surname begins with a 'Mac' or a 'Mc'.

8:30 pm

Jacula

Inge - pa6/21 above the fish is the plural potato/fruit peeler.

8:30 pm

abe79

still looking jacula. thanks for your patience/ clues at this hour!

8:31 pm

Jacula

Abe - I'm a night owl, hence my 'nick'. No probs.

8:32 pm

inge

I deserve the fish, but I dont like fish. So here I am finished at last, at last at last at last ................

8:32 pm

Jacula

Abe - for the es word - think of a nation that celebrates Hogmanay with Haggis and whisky etc.

8:33 pm

Jacula

First time I've done this today, but Inge derserves it...

*~*~*~*~FIREWORKS FOR INGE*~*~*~*~*~*

8:33 pm

abe79

aha. it was the haggis that did it!

8:33 pm

inge

Thansk jacula for your patience. I do usually follow a routine similar to yours, but often itleaves me with 20 to 50 words.

8:34 pm

Jacula

Abe - WELL DONE! A haggis casserole is on its way to you.:-)

8:35 pm

abe79

mmm, i can't wait. it will go with the chocolate pudding i just brought to the computer

8:36 pm

Jacula

Featherbee - Welcome and thanks for your input! How are you doing with the grid?

8:37 pm

Jacula

Abe - don't spill any of that pudding on your keyboard unless it is one of those very expensive Health Service washable/scrubbable ones!

8:38 pm

faeriekae

ok I'm back to find my last word it is an fo but haven't figured out which one yet.

8:38 pm

If you have the album on vinyl and care to undo the proper copper coloured Levis zip, you will find there's a dull pair of white y-fronts beneath the jeans. No more unveiling allowed. LOL.

8:54 pm

tamara27

Oh believe me, I will scream in a minute. I have the 2 letter list and I am getting all the ones I see and going down through the list.

8:54 pm

Jacula

If it's Star Trek later, does tat cover all series'?

8:54 pm

Jacula

*that

8:56 pm

faeriekae

So before my company showed up Jacula you were about to say something about my ghost friend or your ghost pets.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Tamara - many of us are just here to chat and clue now. Ask and you shall receive...

8:57 pm

stidmama

well, it didn't specify, so assumed it covers all series -- I chose to represent DS9...

8:57 pm

featherbee

hmm, either of the ea ones?

8:58 pm

stidmama

featherbee -- if you drop the h from your name... and the insect and the first letter... then plural...

8:58 pm

Jacula

Ah, yes, Faerie. I was going to say that the adice you have been given about telling them whose home it is now is valuable. It often works, should you want to get them to leave. However, your lady is something I'd like to talk about in more depth in private... Are you on MSN Messenger?

8:58 pm

faeriekae

ea you sit down to the dinner table to ea* so you are an ea***

8:59 pm

featherbee

wait, nvm! didn't check them off, thought i didn't have them and nothing was working

8:59 pm

Jacula

Oh, Stid, you look so strict and sexy there. LOL.

8:59 pm

faeriekae

Yes I am Jacs. Let me give you my MSN address just a sec I just downloaded it a few days ago.

9:00 pm

9:02 pm

hetty

Dear Jac, dinner is now over and I'm back for the last 40 words. Please can you clue me for one pa/5 and one pa/6? I have the hymn of praise, the plural of the kitchen gadget (6), and the Italian form of "park": so what am I missing?

9:03 pm

hetty

Oops---for p/5 I also have the Latin for father

9:04 pm

Jacula

Thatt's okay Faerie, have now added you and sent an e-mail about MSN Messenger to a total stranger. LOL.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Hello Hetty. I think you need the plural of the Mrs. Henry Tudor! A Catherine.

9:06 pm

faeriekae

ROFL

9:06 pm

hetty

How strange a place the mind is--once my uncrossed eyes saw the Latin for father I realized that like everyone else in the world I had two of them. . .

9:08 pm

abe79

does anyone have the first fo 7/40?

9:08 pm

featherbee

the one like predicting the future?

9:08 pm

MightySpork

9:09 pm

guigrrl

i'm stuck on my last one -- the te 6/18 before latin earth -- does anyone have a clue -- please?

9:10 pm

guigrrl

re 7/32 --> bitter regret

9:10 pm

hetty

Of course! There are zillions of these young fish spawning locally every fall just a few miles from us.
Bless you.

9:10 pm

Jacula

te6/18 - One who rips.

9:10 pm

faeriekae

re 7/32 - you feel re***** when you have done something wrong that you feel bad about now.

9:11 pm

MightySpork

9:12 pm

guigrrl

Jac -- thanks -- i have that one -- i need the other one :) love the avatar btw. it is a great distraction.

9:13 pm

featherbee

9:14 pm

guigrrl

fo 8/55 is plural for fo 7/40

9:14 pm

stidmama

brb

9:17 pm

featherbee

it is? i'm still not seeing it! the one 7,40 already uses the plural letter, and the other doesn't end up near it.

9:17 pm

faeriekae

Gurugirl - te the 5 before it just add the 2nd vowel on the end

9:18 pm

MightySpork

1st te 5/10?

9:18 pm

abe79

ok, last word . first fo 7/40. not the plural, but the other...

9:20 pm

faeriekae

fo 7/40 that the 5/16 before it and add the 2nd se4/4 to it.

9:20 pm

guigrrl

faeriekae -- thanks -- but i'm having trouble with that for some reason...the double vowel on the end is coming back to me as an invalid word.

9:20 pm

marymary

Can anyone clue me on the last na 5/12? I know I'll need the fish afterwards, but it'll be softer than this piece of plywood I have been whacking my forehead with...

9:35 pm

Jacula

ap5/12 - separate from.
ap5/12 - more suitable.

9:35 pm

faeriekae

Tamara could be the 2nd ap 5/12
ap + cross + 2nd vowel + r

9:36 pm

faeriekae

Stidmama and Jacula look like school teachers..with sticks behind thier backs just read to whack ya if you get out of line.

10:29 pm

hetty

You're such a help, Jac. Now could you find for me a way of cracking of/5? It must be another slang term methinks

Jacula

of5/16 - more frequently!

10:32 pm

scatty

i'll get him to have a look, cheers, he didn't think it was going to be so hard finding a job, but when you have been doing the same thing for 30 years, its quite hard to adapt
