12:35 am

sprite

Lol, I know, that HURTS!

12:35 am

helenkeller

i'm stuck at 145, so i'm going to change my icon & maybe come back with fresh eyes

12:35 am

Jamsicle

you'd think they'd make something to go around the babies teeth so they don't hurt mom...and can nuse longer.

12:36 am

Jamsicle

wow..145? that's nice. I'm surprised I got to 110...but I htink I'm going to call it anight.

12:36 am

ShminkyLuvMonkey

12:36 am

sprite

hard to make something that wouldn't interfere with the nursing, though

12:37 am

Liora

sprite

Ah, nice Sw8/60!

12:39 am

12:48 am

Jamsicle

12:48 am

12:53 am

sprite

Wise enough! See you around, have fun working.

12:53 am

Ornith

I dunno how that's a clue either... think we had it the last puzzle I did too, though. up to 100 now! :)

12:54 am

Preethi

aahh.. Im at 27. Long way to go

1:49 am

1:49 am

jaiel

Preethi

1:50 am

star1

I'm at 96

1:51 am

leanne42

hi orinth, i'm new, can you tell me what list you're talking about? weird words?? i'm still missing 185 :(

1:51 am

leanne42

ornith, rather. sorry

1:52 am

Ornith

leanne, if you look down under the stats, there are links - one says lickety's babble clues

1:52 am

Ornith

it'll have clues like an6/18... a word that starts with an, has 6 letters, and is worth 18 points

1:53 am

Ornith

(4-letter words are worth the points on the tiles, 5-letters x2, 6-letters x3, and so forth)

1:53 am

leanne42

thanks ornith, i could use the help :)

1:54 am

Ornith

np. knowing that way of referring to words makes it easier to ask for clues, too :)

1:55 am

leanne42

is that clue site automatically generated or what?

1:55 am

Ornith

I think it must be, he has it up within like half an hour of the flip

1:55 am

leanne42

obviously, i guess. never mind

1:55 am

leanne42

thanks

1:56 am

mattygroves

1:56 am

star1

ornith how many 8s have you got?

1:57 am

Ornith

I think 4 right now

1:58 am

Ornith

both ce's, which are plurals on fairly weird words that start with ce4/5...

1:59 am

Ornith

the in, which is built of the in6/18 which is built of a to4/4...

1:59 am

Ornith

and the sw, which is built off the sw5/18

2:00 am

star1

ty

2:00 am

Ornith

yw

2:03 am

mattygroves

Those ce clues are doing my head in - I have a ce 4/5 - but...

2:04 am

Ornith

they're uncommon words; one is a plural spanish coin, and the other is...um...

2:05 am

mattygroves

Is the ce 4/5 another type of coin, or is there another?

2:05 am

Ornith

a plural of a unit of weight used in Eastern Europe.

2:05 am

Ornith

the ce4/5 I'm referring to is a coin (or the amount one is worth)

2:05 am

Ornith

and yes, it's the only one

2:07 am

mattygroves

OK, got the spanish coin...

2:08 am

Ornith

I think I got the other one by monkeytyping everything that looked like a word. sounds like it might be a person.

2:09 am

mattygroves

Ta - got those now, Ornith. BTW, is your username from the Dragonriders of Pern?

2:09 am

Preethi

clue for in 6?

2:09 am

Ornith

Nope, it's short for ornithopter

2:09 am

mattygroves

Oh. Silly me ;)

2:10 am

Ornith

Nah, I know why you thought so :P

2:11 am

Ornith

which in6, preethi?

2:12 am

Preethi

i got the in6 which rhymes with the c8

2:12 am

Preethi

how many in 6 's are there in teh grid?

2:12 am

Ornith

that may be the other one. there's an in6/21 and an in6/18

2:13 am

Preethi

clues for that?

2:13 am

Ornith

I have the 6/18 but not the 6/21, is what I mean about "other one", sorry.

2:14 am

Ornith

in6/18 is "to chant", or in + to4/4. 6/21, if you have a clue, give me one! :P

2:14 am

jaiel

the in6/21 has to do with walking...

2:15 am

Ornith

got it, thanks

2:15 am

jaiel

preethi, did you get it?

2:15 am

2:21 am

jaiel

he he sorry, hand-eye coordination is not so great this morn

2:22 am

KittyVane

I agree, that would be a great word Jaiel!

2:22 am

jaiel

yep, tried woot already ;)

2:22 am

KittyVane

"womp", very onomatopoetic :D

2:23 am

jaiel

tried that one too kitty! you never know here..))

2:24 am

KittyVane

I know, typing in words that could never be real does pay off at times

2:24 am

Ornith

shoom either :/

2:24 am

jaiel

at least my vocabulary grows a bit when the monkey typing pays off ;)

2:24 am

jaiel

at least my vocabulary grows a bit when the monkey typing pays off ;)

2:25 am

Ornith

and yeah, I get a lot of words that I think are foreign or bound prefixes or just plain silly

2:25 am

jaiel

shoom is the romanization for the hebrew word for garlic

2:25 am

Ornith

I hate when I monkeytype something, look it up, and it has no definition though!

2:25 am

KittyVane

I still remember "chad" from one of first goes at Babbling

2:25 am

Ornith

heh. I think of shoom as a noise.

2:25 am

Ornith

sort of like woosh

2:26 am

jaiel

sounds like it orinth

2:26 am

mattygroves

I HATE words that begin with vowels.

2:26 am

KittyVane

took me ages t get that and now that I know what it means (the little bits of card/paper that come from punching holes) I've actually been using it in real life

2:26 am

Ornith

I used to not know that word, before a certain election.

2:26 am

Ornith

and yeah, matty, the vowel ones are hard.

2:27 am

Ornith

there's a naughty ar4, if that helps.

2:27 am

mattygroves

Got that one - first vowel word I got, surprise surprise!

2:27 am

Ornith

lol

2:27 am

KittyVane

Deutsch

5:06 am

mrpresident

5:06 am

Eva

good morning trish & mrp! All I can say about our weather is that at the moment it isn't raining. That's newsworthy. And I'm planning to set out the tomatoe and pepper and basil plants today. Just can't wait any loner. Will probably snow tomorrow if I do that.

5:07 am

mattygroves

It's the last 6/21 I need - the one before the plural of 1/100th of a dollar

5:08 am

mrpresident

Morning Eva! well, you could make a nice hungarian lecho with those plants! and I believe the recipe accepts snow!

5:08 am

Eva

Alien

yes, it looks nicer. : )

6:17 am

amandacath

It's got to be a good grid - it's got m4/10!

6:17 am

FMitch

movieman, what was the name of the band that Paul Weller fronted, my brain has gone blank.

6:17 am

Moozey

Paul Weller is a singer/songwriter in the UK. Was in a Mod band called The Jam

6:17 am

mrpresident

Well blow me down! Looks like Australia is going to win against Greece in the soccer! Go AUSSIE Go !

6:17 am

Moozey

hahaha I had to think twice to remember

6:18 am

sprite

*blows mrP down*

6:18 am

FMitch

Thank you moozey I was thinking The Clash, The Jam and others but couldn't decide.

6:18 am

movieman

Paul Weller is the ex lead singer of British punk band The Jam, now a rather successful solo artist....

6:18 am

Moozey

Surely they were Mods?

6:19 am

mrpresident

I love the Clash!

6:19 am

amandacath

rings a distant bell, Mr. Weller does, and I think I vaguely remember The Jam...

6:19 am

movieman

He was also in the Style Council.......

6:19 am

movieman

He was also in the Style Council.......

6:19 am

movieman

He was also in the Style Council.......

6:19 am

bonkler

the jam was an imitation of the who, without the fire. the clash was the real thing

6:20 am

sprite

Where did you say he was?

6:20 am

GraceM

The Jam an imitation of The Who? No way.

6:20 am

mrpresident

They were so original!! No one had it over the Clash. Even their music videos cranked!

6:20 am

movieman

He was also in The Style Council......

6:21 am

egm

im bored

6:22 am

aleksia

Is it better now, movieman? So irritating when you want to play :(

6:25 am

Haz1558

Back again to continue the hunt.

6:26 am

FMitch

All the gangs here now Haz

6:26 am

6:27 am

Good!

6:27 am

movieman

sprite - yep, I'm back and raring to go.....

6:27 am

Haz1558

Did you finish while I was away, FMitch or are you still on the lookout?

6:27 am

sprite

Welcome back, movie ;)

6:27 am

GraceM

3 ce8s??

6:27 am

amandacath

Mornin' Haz!

6:27 am

Haz1558

Good morning amandacath - are you well?

6:27 am

sprite

Grace: yes, and all start the same.

6:27 am

FMitch

No haven't finished yet, down to 77 to find but been chatting so only found 3 words in the last 1/2 hour.

6:28 am

GraceM

grrr...

6:29 am

sprite

hihi

6:29 am

amandacath

Hi Haz - just fine, other than the gray weather, thanks. I've hit a wall at 166 and was just about to ask what else there was to look for when Grace came in with the 3 c8's *goes hunting for big c words*

6:29 am

mrpresident

I gotta go sleepy bye! happy hunting everyone!

BYE (waving)!!

6:29 am

sprite

Sleep well, mrP :)

6:29 am

FMitch

Bye MrP sleep well

6:30 am

amandacath

Nitey nite, MrP

6:30 am

Haz1558

Ah well, FMitch ,I've even more to find than you, so better get to it. By the way, any opinion on Geri Halliwell's choice of names for her baby - Bluebell Madonna?

6:30 am

sprite

Heavy stuff for a little one.

6:30 am

amandacath

Oh good lord! I'm all for original names, but Bluebell?

6:30 am

mrpresident

*puke* err, I mean how delightfully original!

6:30 am

Atalante

actually I dont think Bluebell's toooo bad - at least its seasonal. but madonna?

6:30 am

movieman

Now to listen to some of Mr. Weller's finest tunes.....

6:31 am

sprite

I think the combination is er.... well... I believe someone rescued us with 'original'.

6:31 am

Atalante

"unique", "interesting"

6:32 am

Haz1558

Her explanation for Madonna was that the child emerged screaming as though saying 'Hello Wembley!'

6:32 am

FMitch

Well at least it's not FifI Trixielulabel or what ever Paula Yates caller hers.
She could be called Bel for short but the whole moniker with Halliwell at the end urgh!

6:32 am

amandacath

"distasteful", "sucking up"

6:33 am

Atalante

oh my ... "interesting" explanation

6:33 am

sprite

That's right, that's right, good words for it :)

6:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, the combination of Bluebell Halliwell isn't great, but it's her choice...

6:34 am

amandacath

"copycat" - I think the Yates one is Tigerlily

6:34 am

sprite

In 18 years Bluebell will declare: "I prefer Mary."

6:34 am

Haz1558

Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily to be precise....

6:34 am

Atalante

fifi trixabelle, peaches, and heavenly hirani tigerlily

6:34 am

sprite

Some parents are criminals.

6:34 am

FMitch

actually in 18 years she could go Hi my name is Mark!!

6:35 am

sprite

I would not blame her, FMitch

6:35 am

amandacath

Why do our brains insist on storing such garbage?

6:36 am

FMitch

imagine if we could as easliy recall all the "imortant" stuff what our exam results would be like!

6:36 am

Haz1558

My husband can't believe the things I remember. Not useful things like how to wire a plug, but stupid names and who wrote what.

6:36 am

spanner

sometimes i come on this site, not to play, just to read the chatterbox........

6:36 am

Atalante

the Yates kids live near me - and actually, they are nice kids

6:37 am

amandacath

Oh, I'll bet he's got his share of garbage in the old gray matter too, Haz!

6:37 am

movieman

All this talk of unusual names for children reminds me of the time when a couple had a child who was jaundiced, so they called her La-La after the yellow Tellytubby.....

6:37 am

sprite

And the meaning and existence of 'ywis', 'anoa', 'pfui', don't forget that knowledge!

6:37 am

spanner

tine

6:37 am

FMitch

Hi spanner

6:37 am

Haz1558

He's hopeless with names, amanda - he even calls me by his sister's name sometimes - She's Helen, I'm Hazel!

6:38 am

spanner

Hi FMitch

6:38 am

Haz1558

Are you serious movieman?

6:38 am

sprite

La-La? Like I said, criminal.

6:38 am

movieman

Yep, it happened a few years ago......

6:39 am

amandacath

Hope you enjoy, Spanner.
In Germany you have to have kids' names approved by some office. I have my problems with that, but it does prevent things like MM is talking about

6:39 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure if it still happens, but the French government used to have a list of approved names. You couldn't deviate from the list. Seems like a good idea to me!

6:39 am

FMitch

At least the didn't call the poor mite Po!!!

6:39 am

movieman

I can't believe my name is in today's grid......

6:40 am

sprite

So is my son's name, movie :)

6:40 am

GraceM

sprite

6:42 am

movieman

6:42 am

I swear that babble can't cope as well as it used to with the fast typing of words. I've just spent ages looking for an so4 and realised it was one of the words I found when I first stated this morning and I KNOW I entered it!!!

Greetings, all... how goes the grid today?

7:09 am

amandacath

Hi Jera - big, but not too bad

7:09 am

Jera

I've had that happen as well, FMitch.

7:10 am

FMitch

Hey Jera!!! It's a good one today. How are you feeling?

7:10 am

Haz1558

I haven't experienced that but hey - there's a first time for everything, as I proved this morning.... Or maybe I'm just a slow typist.

7:10 am

Jera

Still very tired, beginning to suspect some sort of infection, ugh. Gonna call the doctor today.

7:11 am

amandacath

nvm - found it

7:11 am

Jera

When my nails are getting too long I find I often add a ' at the edn of a word, which the puzzle of course doesn't recongnize

7:11 am

Haz1558

Time for lunch!

7:11 am

FMitch

Oh sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for speedy recovery.

7:11 am

Morning all! Ya know, I think we would all appreciate a slightly smaller grid sometime soon. :)

7:13 am

Jen

{{Jera}} glad to hear you are going to the doc! You really need to get this thing cleared up!

7:14 am

Jera

Yeah a flu-ey virus thing I can handle since the docs can't really do anything about it... but infections are not to be messed with (especially for me).

7:14 am

Angelsong

morning, babblers|

7:14 am

movieman

I keep having problems.....

I keep getting something appearing on my taskbar saying connecting aol, and I have to wait a minute or so before I can get rid of it.....

7:14 am

Jera

I need to at least get well enough to take my car in to get it fixed!

7:15 am

Jera

Moviman, I am completely aol-ignorant, so all I can offer you is my sympathy...

7:15 am

Angelsong

does anyone have a clue for the first an? I have what I think it the first an, but I'm not sure.

7:15 am

Jera

I have no an's yet, Angelsong!

7:15 am

mattygroves

These en words are gonna be the death of me!

7:16 am

mattygroves

Sounds a bit like the proper name for the back passage (not the slang term)

7:16 am

Jen

I hope you get good news Jera (like it's not an infection). :)

7:16 am

FMitch

Angel - the 1st an is a4/4

7:17 am

amandacath

Hi Angel!

7:17 am

Judy_2u

clue for an its to put a stake into the put before your play poker

7:17 am

movieman

Angel - There's an AN that means to apply fragrent oils to something ......

7:17 am

Jera

Actually, it not being an infection would be quite worrisome... I hope that's all it is. Some antibiotics & I'm good to go. Not an infection would open a whole world of nasty possibilities...

7:17 am

Angelsong

FMitch: the one I have is an + a vowel + plural letter.

7:18 am

FMitch

yup that is the 1st one

7:18 am

Judy_2u

also iif you play poker you need to an** up

7:19 am

7:23 am

amandacath

actually, it's not unite, but it sounds like it: to direct or impose with authority and emphasis

7:23 am

Jera

Sorry, impune is latin, but i known je4/9 ain't English!

7:24 am

Jera

For English use it's almost always an adjective(?)... impunity.

7:24 am

amandacath

I have resigned myself that Enable is completely arbitrary in what it sees as English and in what it capitalizes

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

true

7:25 am

Jera

I would love to meet the Enable TPTB... that would be a fascinating thing...

7:25 am

Atalante

TPTB?

7:26 am

Jera

The Powers That Be... nameles ones in charge...

7:26 am

Atalante

ah :)

7:26 am

amandacath

What's TPTB? If it's the person who's responsible for what goes in or stays out, I'd like to meet him or her to w5/24 him or her over the head!

7:26 am

Beth

I believe the Latin term is impunis. Impune seems to be acceptable, and means unpunished.

7:27 am

Jera

Oh well, not acceptable to the Enable gods... so we must bow to their arbitrary will...

7:27 am

Beth

Grrr. I still think FLOO should be acceptable, and that was ages ago...

7:28 am

Beth

Only half-serious on that one. ;)

7:28 am

Atalante

yeah - hasnt enable read Harry Potter???!!!!

7:29 am

KatieMcG

Moosier is so a word!!

7:29 am

Alien

I want to put moonpie in....too bad.

7:30 am

FMitch

and monster.

7:30 am

Jera

Yes, I've typed monster more than once...

7:30 am

Atalante

and joice. if you can rejoice, surely you can joice? lol

7:31 am

movieman

I agree, Atalante, the English language is so weird.....

7:31 am

amandacath

impugn (verb): from Middle English impugnen, from Old French impugner, from Latin impugnare - to attack as false or questionable
impunity (noun): Latin impunitus, from impune, without punishment - exemption from punishment, penalty, or harm

7:33 am

amandacath

Linguistics lesson for the day - another English combo that makes no sense whatsoever. Verb means to blame, noun means free from blame - go figger

7:33 am

Jera

Another great word... wonder if Enable would accept that one?

7:34 am

KatieMcG

I wish no one had mentioned monster, I can't see anything else now

7:34 am

amandacath

Which one Jera, figger? I always think it looks like a bad word when written out

7:36 am

Jera

No, impugn

7:36 am

Jera

Sorry, Katie...

7:37 am

Atalante

impugn *should* be acceptable! its in dictionary.com anyway

7:37 am

KatieMcG

don't worry about it Jera, it reflects my concentration levels. Eating an M&S trifle whilst sitting in an empty office, life could be worse :)

7:38 am

Jera

Here are some more phantom words to clear your mental palate... moist... noise... mosh... is that better?

7:39 am

KatieMcG

time is my latest obsession

7:39 am

Alien

7:40 am

Beth

7:41 am

KatieMcG

I just typed it now :)

7:41 am

Atalante

7:41 am

mattygroves

I keep trying notion. I hat en words.

7:41 am

melly126

7:42 am

movieman

I keep seeing erase....

7:42 am

amandacath

and mention - are there ANY that end in -tion?

7:43 am

FMitch

Someone made a lovely point the other day (can't remember who it was) - Imagine if we got a point deducted for every non word or repeated word we typed in!!

7:43 am

melly126

haha now that you said that i keep wanting to enter petition

7:43 am

Jera

Yeah, homie should be a word...

7:44 am

amandacath

Horrible thought, Mitch! Bet my score would average out to 0!

7:44 am

KatieMcG

Fmitch - I would constantly be in the negative

7:44 am

Jera

I would certainly check my list more often...

7:45 am

mattygroves

And nearly etui (my favourite word)

7:45 am

Jera

I don't think I would be addicted, either...

7:45 am

amandacath

piet

7:45 am

amandacath

sorry - not a word anyway

7:45 am

FMitch

Yup me too KatieW

7:45 am

Jen

Can someone tell me why I actually started this blasted thing? :)

7:46 am

Jera

Because you are addicted, Jen... oh & the camaraderie, of course...

7:46 am

Atalante

who cares about points anyway :)

7:47 am

evanonut

what?!? - no commaraderie if you have less points?

7:47 am

movieman

Gonna take a break......

Be back later.......

7:48 am

FMitch

LOL since when has number of points or words etc stopped the chat and the commnity!!

7:48 am

Hi Kaetchen!
I'm missing an sh5-6 combo - got what children should do with their toys, and that with another letter - can't seem to see another one ...?

10:25 am

amandacath

Yo Schroeder

10:25 am

Schroeder

Hi Kaetchen & Bex & amanda!!

10:25 am

TheFiz

amandacath - sounds like a sheep post-shearing - with the first vowel instead of the 4th.

10:26 am

TheFiz

rhymes with a spun fiber with which one might knit or crochet

10:27 am

amandacath

that's the other one I've already got - what is that anyway *goes to look up word*

10:27 am

TheFiz

ok - try what you do to a fly - then add a totally random consonant on the end.

10:27 am

amandacath

*and finds it isn't in the dictionary*

10:28 am

Hi! How many words today?

Hi Liz...251

10:31 am

it is a much better grid than yestreday liz!!!! even though it's bigger.

10:31 am

amandacath

hmmm - finally found it in urbandictionary.com, if it's to be trusted, then it's a bad word, synonym with a4/4

10:31 am

lizbethem

ok...I'm not very good at this

10:32 am

hurshy

amanda where does this other combo fall?

10:32 am

Schroeder

FMitch is right Liz!!! Jump on in..

10:32 am

lizbethem

hmm I thought nooner was a good word! LOL

10:33 am

TheFiz

Ouch, amandacath - and who is that poor girl?

10:35 am

amandacath

so, back to my missing sh5-6 combo: I've got the stock in a company + pl and the a4/4 synonym + pl. - no wait! my bad, had mischecked my list. I'm only missing the first sh6/21 - after the ruler, before the stock
Yeah, that's what I said, Fiz!

10:36 am

amandacath

and having typed all that, I found it immediately - duh!

10:36 am

TheFiz

10:37 am

10:39 am

Somebody gossip and tell me why Mikey from Berlin left Babble. I've tried to go back to the logs but it shuts my computer down

11:17 am

caitlyn

I have been away so didnt know he had gone

11:17 am

Munner

I, too, have been here intermittently, but always enjoyed Mikey's chatter

11:18 am

leighprefect

The last time I saw Mikey, someone unecessarily brought up his sexual orientation. And he was upset about it. That and he was arguing with someone about a comment he made, saying he wasn't trying to be holier-than-thou or anything. I do not know if that's what led to his departure, but to my understanding he never felt well-enough liked to begin with.

11:18 am

leighprefect

It was unfortunate.

11:19 am

caitlyn

He was always fun and seemed popular its a shame!

11:19 am

TheFiz

that's too bad. good, perhaps, that he wasn't here with our earlier troll visit, tho.

11:22 am

smazing

I am a newbie to chat logs... now i have seen it reference twice to a 'troll'. Would anyone be kind to clue me in on what one means by that? TY

11:22 am

TheFiz

someone who comes in to cause trouble - insults, curses, inane questions, etc. I'm new (relatively)to chat too but that's what I've picked up.

11:23 am

TheFiz

see earlier posts from "clothes" for example

11:23 am

smazing

Ah! that makes sense. Thanks.

11:23 am

amandacath

trolls are people (generally, teen-age boys, I presume) who ger some sort of perverse pleasure by insulting and annoying complete strangers

11:24 am

Alien

are there any rh words?

11:24 am

caitlyn

We have had quite a few horrible trolls since i have been playing we all try to ignore and hope they will go away

11:24 am

FMitch

occasionally that can be very offensive but that is rare. Best thing is to ignore and not respond to them and the do go away. Occasionally Dr-G has to get involved and will delete them and their comments.

11:24 am

TheFiz

yeah, alien - one

11:25 am

Too bad that someone was mean about Mikey's sexual orientation - unusual for the babble-community, I would think. I do think he sometimes took comments the wrong way, though.

11:26 am

smazing

4 more to go then.

11:27 am

leighprefect

amanda-not that they were mean about it. They just outed him to the babble players. Which is no big deal to most of us, but it is private and no one's business.

11:27 am

caitlyn

He was open about it though amandacath

11:28 am

jeffer

sn 5/12 clue please

11:28 am

FMitch

that wasn't the problem he made it clear inhis converdaion, his profile and the way he talked. You couldn't read it any other way!

11:29 am

leighprefect

Whoever it was that mentioned it (this was at least two weeks ago and I can't even remember stuff from two days ago, so I'm sorry I'm vague) said it for no reason. Just said it, and Mikey asked what that had to do with the argument at the moment. There really wasn't a reason.

11:29 am

smazing

Don't have it jeffer, can't help ya!

11:29 am

FMitch

Hi HAz,
Oooh wonderful, been on safari once and that was in S.Africa

Uneaixoise

12:07 pm

boreetos

www.weebl-stuff.com I think. its a song and a cartoon, its pretty awesome and addictive.

12:07 pm

boreetos

tndaisy1960

12:11 pm

amandacath

not unless it was reeeeeally early, daisy. I've been here all day (no, I don't have a life)

12:12 pm

caitlyn

I havnt seen her today

12:12 pm

tndaisy1960

12:12 pm

hurshy

ok i'm back

12:12 pm

hurshy

i've got them going and i'm ready to find my last bit of wordage

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Nor me amanda

12:14 pm

hurshy

amanda, my wonderful friend, i have 3 o4's and 2 o5's and one o6 from the center O - what might i be missing

12:14 pm

amandacath

Oh good - I was hoping I could rag on Dan Brown with you some more. To pick up the convo from earlier - I wouldn't have been 1/2 so annoyed if I hadn't read the story 100 times before in better-written form, and if he hadn't been given so much credit for "discovering" this "big secret" about Mary Magdalen and secret societies and the rest

12:15 pm

hurshy

lol - it drove me nuts how he kept going back and forth between the plots

12:15 pm

Crazy Elf

Hi. Can anyone tell me how many words there are today? Just wondering if it behooves me to begin.

12:16 pm

hurshy

251

12:16 pm

amandacath

let's see - you're missing 2 o4's, dunno from where

12:16 pm

Crazy Elf

thanks.

12:16 pm

dodge

251 today!!

12:16 pm

caitlyn

hurshy 5 o/4 ..3o/5 and 1 0/6

12:17 pm

hurshy

no i'm just missing one... ok so it's a 5 then

12:17 pm

hurshy

i wasn't counting the 2 from the other O amanda :)

12:17 pm

amandacath

What was also so horrible was that it was written as if he was planning for someone to make it into a TV-Miniseries - every chapter ended on a cliff-hanger, just in time for a commercial!

12:18 pm

hurshy

exactly. i hate that kind of book.

12:18 pm

Vicuna

And I totally cracked up when he described the guy as looking like Harrison Ford. He so obviously wanted it to be made into a movie with harrison Ford starring.

12:18 pm

caitlyn

My mum is reading it at the moment,I think she is enjoying

12:20 pm

hurshy

i was kind of surprised at tom hanks for accepting the role.

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Well, it certainly is high-profile.

12:20 pm

hurshy

yes but he usually has such good taste

12:20 pm

hurshy

and it's not like he needs to be any higher profile than he is - he's securely A-list.

12:21 pm

Vicuna

True enough. Must be he liked it. Lots of people did!

12:22 pm

Uneaixoise

Tom Hanks was sooo miscast . . .

12:22 pm

Uneaixoise

I love him but he was not good in this movie

12:22 pm

Vicuna

But the one thing I just can't get over, is WHAT THE HECK IS WITH HIS HAIR???

12:22 pm

Uneaixoise

movie . . . er, travelogue

12:22 pm

Angelsong

done!

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats!

12:23 pm

hurshy

i know, UGH, his hair is so icky that way, he looks pervy or something

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Congrats, Angel!

12:23 pm

caitlyn

I think i will wait to see the film!!
yeah for Angelsong

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

maybe they thought it looked "professorial"

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Yes, he looks like he only became a professor so he could sleep with students.

12:23 pm

hurshy

i am not getting my words this way.. :)

12:23 pm

sha

evening all

12:23 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, sha

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Oh, wait, I'm supposed to be finding words?

12:24 pm

hurshy

anyone else really want ointment to be there?

12:24 pm

Vicuna

ME ME!

12:24 pm

syb215

it was so "movie of the week"ish

12:24 pm

caitlyn

Hi sha
....and bye to all catch you all tomorrow happy babbling ..bye..........

12:24 pm

movieman

Gandalf's back!!!!!!!

12:24 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree--soooo disappointing

12:24 pm

KatieMcG

Hi ya all, hope your having a good day

12:25 pm

Vicuna

Report back when you've seen the movie, then, caitlyn! :)

12:25 pm

hurshy

yay for gandalf!

12:25 pm

amandacath

I'm not surprised he accepted the role - you know how much he's gonna make from it!?! And there's not much he can do to ruin his reputation - it won't kill his career and will explode his bank account

12:26 pm

amandacath

Ohh hurray - MovieMan's back just in time to get in the movie discussion!

12:26 pm

amandacath

Hi sha - missed you there. And katie too

12:26 pm

Uneaixoise

great cast, beautiful locations and . . . plodding, heavyhanded

12:26 pm

hurshy

hmm, can't find it. what's the O5 besides om5/12 and os5/10?

12:27 pm

movieman

If you're discussing the Da Vinci Code, I haven't seen it yet.......

I was gonna see it with Punster last week, but changed my mind at the last minute.....

12:27 pm

amandacath

om5, on5, os5 Hursh

12:28 pm

Uneaixoise

don't waste your money, movieman

12:28 pm

saphyre

I think anyone who really liked the book will be disappointed with the movie - but that is how it usually goes

12:28 pm

hurshy

excellent, thanks amanda

12:28 pm

amandacath

What surprised me most was that Ron Howard wanted to direct it! He's the one who generally has such good taste!

12:28 pm

KatieMcG

It was reviewed on Radio 5 in England and the review said he just wanted the lights to be turned on as the whole film was set in the dark

12:28 pm

hurshy

hmm, so if you liked the book you will be disappointed - if you didn't like it you won't like the movie - so all they can get is people who HAVEN'T read it. and i agree about ron howard.

12:29 pm

movieman

I decided not to see it in the end, 'cos of all the negative reviews I read about it.....

One paper even gave it a 'turkey' rating......

12:29 pm

KatieMcG

I haven't read the book but hate films that are shot in the dark!!! not sure whether to go yet or not

12:29 pm

hurshy

how many re's we got today?

12:29 pm

Uneaixoise

lighting was fine, cinematography was fine, music was fine . . . . movie was just boring

12:30 pm

saphyre

I'm not sure anyone will be able to really follow the movie without reading the book

12:30 pm

Uneaixoise

movieman, I wanted to like it and to ignore the critics at Cannes but this time they were right

12:30 pm

hurshy

one of the most boring movies ever: being human with robin williams. we actually walked out, only time i've ever done that.

12:30 pm

amandacath

But then it won't hurt him either, and oooo all that money! Just means he'll be able to do more stuff like Arrested Development - so I guess we should all be glad, in the end.

12:30 pm

movieman

Thank God there are some movies that do the source novels justice......

Like the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Trainspotting, and A Clockwork Orange.....

12:30 pm

hurshy

oh, saphyre - that means NOBODY will like the movie!

12:30 pm

Uneaixoise

Clockwork Orange, ohmygod, what a movie

12:31 pm

KatieMcG

I'm ashamed to admit this but I hated the Lord of the Rings books so have never seen the movies

12:31 pm

movieman

And not forgetting The Godfather.....

12:31 pm

saphyre

I read the book and thought the movie was lacking, my daughter read the book twice and hated the movie

12:32 pm

Uneaixoise

*sigh* yes

12:32 pm

movieman

Katie, you don't know what you're missing.......

12:32 pm

Uneaixoise

which movie are you talking about??

12:32 pm

hurshy

that's ok katie - we won't throw you out :)

12:32 pm

saphyre

DaVinci Code

12:32 pm

KatieMcG

I know I really really tried to like the books but Frodo was just such a prat

12:32 pm

amandacath

LOTR was an absolutely fantastic adaptation. I was terrified when the news first came out that they were going to movie-ize it, but they truly did an amazing job!

12:32 pm

Uneaixoise

oohhhh, i agree with your daughter . . . .thought you were talking about Godfather!

12:33 pm

movieman

Peter Jackson is a cinematic God!!!!!!!!!

12:34 pm

KatieMcG

They looked fantastic but it would be a bit like watching watership down when you don't give a stuff about the rabits (something else I am guilty of)

12:34 pm

movieman

Tom Hanks hasn't made a decent movie since.....well, forever......

12:34 pm

amandacath

He is great, but he evidently can't be a god since he does have faults - i.e. King Kong

12:35 pm

amandacath

I WANT TOM HANKS TO BE FUNNY AGAIN!!!!!!!

12:35 pm

Uneaixoise

now, movieman, when you want to sink to a low level of fluff, you have to admit he's fun with Meg Ryan

12:35 pm

movieman

Pete Jackson is a god in the sense that he can make a three hour-plus movie and make it seem like two hours.....

12:35 pm

hurshy

the funny thing is we all think of tom hanks and meg ryan but haven't they only actually acted in like 2 scenes together?

12:35 pm

Uneaixoise

and i LOVED Big

12:36 pm

KatieMcG

Now I loved S in S

12:36 pm

hurshy

or were they in something else besides sleepless?

12:36 pm

Uneaixoise

You've Got Mail

12:36 pm

movieman

I'm sorry, une, but I just can't stand the man.....

12:36 pm

hurshy

oh yeah i forgot that.

12:36 pm

Anniebrook

youve got mail

12:36 pm

hurshy

i like her hair so much better long.

12:36 pm

amandacath

Weren't they the same movie, different title?

12:37 pm

KatieMcG

I loved that one as well!! Mindless pap is obviously my taste in films :)

12:37 pm

Uneaixoise

hah! yes, amandacath!!

12:37 pm

movieman

I preferred Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally.....

12:37 pm

amandacath

I like her lips so much better real

12:37 pm

KatieMcG

amanda - oh yes :)

12:37 pm

hurshy

no, not at all, amanda, really

12:37 pm

hurshy

harry sally is one of the greatest movies!!

12:37 pm

Uneaixoise

ugh, can't stand the pumped up lips

12:37 pm

hurshy

i esp love the big can of aquanet

12:38 pm

Uneaixoise

ohmygod, hurshy, my daughter has memorized practically the whole script from harry sally!

12:38 pm

movieman

Especially the 'fake orgasm' scene......

"I'll have what she's having!!!!!".......

12:38 pm

hurshy

"waiter, there is too much pepper in my paprikash"

12:38 pm

Uneaixoise

spoken by Billy Crystal's mom

12:39 pm

amandacath

Harry/Sally is great, and I actually do like Meg Ryan, when she sticks to what she's good at. I've got a soft spot for her ever since she played Betsy on ATWT

12:39 pm

Uneaixoise

amanda, you have to admit she was pretty pathetic on ATWT--she's come a looooong way!

12:39 pm

JamesonH

wuh?

12:40 pm

amandacath

It's a soap opera - who isn't pathetic!?!?

12:41 pm

hurshy

i don't watch soaps - can anyone tell me why practically every single shot is a close-up of a face? is there a reason they do that???

12:41 pm

ruthy

clues for the last 2 sa 6/18 s please i have one but the one clue fmitch gave me earlier the word i thought it was wont go in

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

havent' watched soaps in many years but Meg Ryan on ATWT I do remember . . .

12:41 pm

sha

ello ruthy

12:42 pm

hurshy

one is the pl of a 5/10, the other has the fun a4/4 in the middle

12:42 pm

saphyre

The only time I watched soaps was 27 years ago when I was on bed rest with my first kid, thank god she was 2 months early

12:42 pm

amandacath

Ruthy - next to the last is WestWing Pres Matt, last one is ... have to think about a clue for that one

12:42 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

12:44 pm

Uneaixoise

lull in storms--off to walk dogs--BBL

12:44 pm

amandacath

I haven't watched any in years either - believe it or not, they're even worse when dubbed into a foreign language! How 'bout David Hasselhof on TYATR - he unfortunately HASN'T gone very far

12:45 pm

hurshy

"then it's nothing but words, words, words all the time!"

12:45 pm

amandacath

you lost me hursh - are we back to Harry/Sally?

12:46 pm

hurshy

no - paraphrasing princess bride...

12:46 pm

amandacath

oh *puts on list of DVDs to buy*

12:48 pm

pabtrek

love princess bride

12:49 pm

Vicuna

Is the an7/28 a compound word?

12:49 pm

amandacath

I think umpic should be a word. "I'm feeling a bit umpic today" = a little bit in a bad mood for no real reason

12:49 pm

hurshy

no vi

12:49 pm

movieman

The 2nd ce8/45 plz.....

12:49 pm

hurshy

the first is a pl, the second is a comparative

12:50 pm

hurshy

movieman - like an in7

12:50 pm

Vicuna

Thanks.

12:51 pm

cliffopa

can anyone help me with the as 6/30?

12:51 pm

hurshy

12:51 pm

Vicuna

12:51 pm

amandacath

Hi cliff! You've been lurking

12:53 pm

movieman

Still can't get the 2nd ce8/45........

12:53 pm

amandacath

good for you, cliff! They never let me do that since I didn't weigh enough - that was many years ago, though, I'm sure I've caught up by now

12:53 pm

hurshy

CHS, do you have in7 (a pl)? change the i to the ce

12:53 pm

movieman

Never mind, just found it!!!!

12:57 pm

cliffopa

12:58 pm

KatieMcG

going to chill for a bit, might bbl

12:58 pm

movieman

Cliff - I really wish I could donate blood, but, unfortunately, as I am on medication for my epilepsy, I can't.....

12:59 pm

FMitch

Cliff, hows he getting on ? whats the latest?

1:00 pm

FMitch

I guess he is all settled ino things by now?

1:00 pm

amandacath

Oh, that's right, Cliff - your son's down south isn't he?

1:01 pm

Munner

I, too, used to donate regularly. I donated platelets and loved doing it knowing it helped so many people. Haven't been able to since cancer.

1:01 pm

cliffopa

i will be traveling to see him graduate from officer training in july (in alabama.) only five more weeks before i can hug him again. he has now moved up to be 'upper' class in the training and is happy the hellish stuff is over.

1:01 pm

hurshy

grrr, i can't find words.

1:01 pm

amandacath

Whatcya need, Hursh?

1:01 pm

cliffopa

thanks for asking....

1:02 pm

FMitch

Cliff you wil have to take a phot and upload it for your icon when you get back!

1:02 pm

cliffopa

fmitch - thank you again for guiding me to flickr. my son can enjoy all the kitten pic's now.

1:03 pm

hurshy

1:03 pm

FMitch

1:03 pm

cliffopa

two wierd 6's: 1. Social instability caused by erosion of standards and values.
2. Alienation and purposelessness experienced by a person or a class as a result of a lack of standards, values, or ideals: â€œWe must now brace ourselves for disquisitions on peer pressure, adolescent an**** and rageâ€ (Charles Krauthammer).

1:30 pm

firefly779

hurshy, has noble been on lately?

1:30 pm

Uneaixoise

just 4's and 5's

1:30 pm

hurshy

mmm, can't quite remember when he was last on, firefly. he's more into role-playing games than babble i think.

1:31 pm

hurshy

ty une

1:31 pm

firefly779

oh, he'd been on for several days in a row, thought maybe he'd still be around as much

1:32 pm

hurshy

well, he doesn't want to overwhelm everyone with his enthusiasm :) he thinks babblers can only handle him in infrequent doses.

1:32 pm

firefly779

i totally understand! lol, but he was fun anyways

1:32 pm

Atalante

he was!

1:33 pm

hurshy

i'm sure he'll be around now and then. he tends to get on between like 5 and 9 eastern US time (4 and 8 babble time)

1:33 pm

hurshy

oh i remember he did stop by monday for his dairy product day

1:34 pm

firefly779

i wondered if he'd be on then... :)

1:34 pm

Anniebrook

also, just wondering, has mikey in berlin been on since the spat with nobel?

1:34 pm

hurshy

yes, he was on the next day, and then not since, i believe.

1:34 pm

Uneaixoise

didn't know there was a spat but noticed he was missing

1:34 pm

Anniebrook

*noble

1:34 pm

Atalante

he went off in a huff

1:35 pm

Uneaixoise

because?

1:35 pm

firefly779

the whole thing seemed silly to me, but to each his own

1:35 pm

Atalante

because we didnt appreciate him enough

1:35 pm

hurshy

because he enjoyed being huffy...?

1:35 pm

movieman

The in6/21 plz.....

1:35 pm

Atalante

or something like that

1:36 pm

firefly779

because noble was being noble, and he couldn't understand that, and felt oppressed by all

1:36 pm

Atalante

well put firefly :)

1:36 pm

hurshy

and HURSH LOVES CHS!!!

1:36 pm

Uneaixoise

1:37 pm

firefly779

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

1:38 pm

Atalante

noble was being a typical teenage boy, and mikey's dignity was offended by his attitude

1:38 pm

hurshy

noble's 14, everything he says is a joke, he teased mikey, it didn't go over well

1:38 pm

firefly779

noble is a 14 year old boy, he's a bit overwhelming at times, and he was pestering Mikey about his German

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

oooohhh, gotcha

1:38 pm

jeffer

ce 8/45 has me beat - clue?

1:38 pm

Anniebrook

well put, Ata

1:38 pm

Vicuna

Noble is a kid with a smart mouth. Most of us found him entertaining and/or shrug-off-able. Mikey couldn't shrug it off.

1:38 pm

movieman

SCD - was that supposed to be a clue, 'cos if it was, I don't understand it.....

1:38 pm

Uneaixoise

smazing

this may help. when i know i am going to have to deal with the wrong department, i always start off by saying 'I'm sorry, i am really clueless and am quite sure i have the wrong department, but is it possible you may assist me." Once i find someone who has been very helpful, i always ask if i can call them back direct so not have to explain everything all over again. I am dealing with the state of OR right now and i have found a very, very nice and helpful person.

2:34 pm

jeffer

Atalante did you get that me 5/12?

2:35 pm

helenkeller

their teacher, mr. carlson, told them they could play on here, i think, and then left them alone, from what i've heard from the school administrators. (they said the name of the school so i called the principal)

4:55 pm

boreetos

wait what happened?

4:55 pm

hurshy

the troll from today i don't know anything about.

4:57 pm

hurshy

oh ok shirin then i was misled by your use of the plural and thought you meant the horrendous gang of them from before. the principal is trying to figure out which kids it was but since the teacher wasn't in the room it is challenging.

4:57 pm

oldhousejunky

oops - SA 6/18 and SA 10 - I have the ones relating to mentally healthy; grandchild of Japanese immigrants; and a large sandstone block......

4:57 pm

hurshy

6:53 pm

bonkler

okay i have to refresh i guess, its in honor of clothes who trolled past earlier

6:53 pm

helenkeller

lol bonker - in honor of the troll, i see, but if you shove the troll out of the airlock, doesn't the suit defeat the purpose? LOL

6:53 pm

6:56 pm

featherbee

locke, dead??? what am i forgetting?

6:56 pm

helenkeller

firefly779

the hatch blowing up (or so we are led to maybe believe)

6:57 pm

featherbee

oh, desmond and the key, etc

6:57 pm

helenkeller

i'm assuming when that guy turned the key & then everything went whitish = well, maybe the hatch exploded

6:57 pm

Marc Freeman

Good afternoon all, any clues on pe8/55?

6:57 pm

featherbee

i didn't think it blew up actually! that didn't even occur to me, just thought it was all part of the magnetic weirdness

6:58 pm

helenkeller

6:58 pm

bonkler

6:58 pm

featherbee

7:02 pm

firefly779

7:04 pm

kristinc

7:10 pm

Jera

Thanks faerie... my silly husband proceeded to answer the d@mn phone when it was an unknown caller... then handed the stupid salesperson (which of course it was) to me...

kristinc

Fran...whoya got on your icon?

7:19 pm

stidmama

I figured the grid would be awful again when I say it last night, so didn't even log in until now. was that a good decision?

7:20 pm

tndaisy1960

probably

7:20 pm

periwinkle

pe8/55 anyone?

7:20 pm

tndaisy1960

I'm just playing on paper, myself, even tho he's been gone since 9:30

7:20 pm

Jen

Is it Mike from Desp Hous Fran?

7:20 pm

FranMag

7:20 pm

kristinc

stid...I started an hour ago and halfway there (with chatting), not bad so far

7:21 pm

stidmama

wow -- how's you manage to get the whole day to yourself daisy?

7:21 pm

kristinc

Fran...that's what I though but couldn't tell for sure :)

7:21 pm

stidmama

yes, but kristin -- you're actually really good at this! ;-)

7:21 pm

Jen

Ooooh, daisy.... is that Tom Selleck?!?!! He's hot!!

7:21 pm

'bout time, too! Men need work to keep them happy... (of course, so do we, but we're Babblers... a special class!)

7:23 pm

stidmama

7:23 pm

periwinkle

Vicuna, got the first part of the pe8 still working on the ending

7:24 pm

kristinc

I'm having computer issues but I think they're independent of the site...seems to be wireless connection issues for me
I'm lost on the pe8 too :(

7:24 pm

Jen

Yeah! I am actually able to put in words quickly today, with no load time (not that I've been entering quickly a lot today)

7:25 pm

Vicuna

okay pe8 - first three letters you write with, second three letters male cat or turkey, last two letters make it an adj

7:25 pm

FranMag

peri and kristin, use less of the prefix and more of the bomb!

7:26 pm

11:32 pm

firefly779

11:32 pm

stidmama

the 6/21 is like the 6/24 above, but lose the last consonant and put a vowel in its place

11:32 pm

there are two an 4/4 in the middle that sound and are spelled almost the same, just change the last vowel

11:32 pm

stidmama

and the other an 4/4 is the picnic pests

11:35 pm

Inariargenteus

11:41 pm

FranMag

for someone who wasn't going to play today stid, you are right in there! ;-)

11:42 pm

leanne42

are these words all in english? i thought i had a decent vocabulary, but well, hah, i guess not!

11:42 pm

stidmama

well -- like I said, it was just too much to watch the clues flying by and not be able to participate!

11:42 pm

Inariargenteus

I know what you mean, leanne!

11:42 pm

stidmama

leanne, most of the words are used in some way by english speakers, but they are very obscure...

11:42 pm

FranMag

as douglas would say, resistance is futile!

11:42 pm

stidmama

and some of them, i am convinced, are not real words at all!

11:43 pm

stidmama

yes, the vortex caught me and sucked me in...

11:43 pm

FranMag

today's list has japanese, spanish and italian i think

11:43 pm

firefly779

11:44 pm

ls1

little word for belly?

11:44 pm

firefly779

yeah ls1, but there's a vowel after the t

11:44 pm

Inariargenteus

Sorry oggy, not getting it.

11:44 pm

stidmama

helenkeller

11:48 pm

FranMag

in other words helen, we have to tune in next season!!

11:48 pm

helenkeller

stid - i also needed ALOT of help today, after the first 170 or so, the rest were soooo hard

11:49 pm

stidmama

true oggy -- and it's getting easier to ask for it now that I know I'll be able to help others later on!

11:49 pm

FranMag

i used to listen to the lostcast by ryan ozawa and his wife jen, but they stopped doing it.

11:49 pm

helenkeller
