2:17 am

smithchick

I've got a ut4/5 and a uv4/8...ka4/8 x2, ke4/9 and kh4/9...

2:19 am

Well duh! Pass the fish!!

2:20 am

Cheers for that - I now have all the Us and 4 of the Ks (I have ka4/8 x 2, ke4/9 and kh4/9. And stupid words they are, too).

2:21 am

smithchick

I should probably get off of here and go to bed. I'm seeing my son off in the morning. He's going to Florida to spend a couple of weeks with my sister. Her hubby is picking him up on his way through tomorrow.

JMann

smithchick

2:27 am

JMann

2:47 am

libarebel

stuck on meow too...

2:51 am

JMann

okay, so i'm stuck on the KA 4/8 - i've got the one that is a different spelling of "Sugar C***", it's the other I'm having problems with...any clues?

2:53 am

smithchick

Double your vowel and then pluralise it, JMann.

2:53 am

JMann

actually, I'm stuck on all of the K's except that one below and the KE 4/9 which is the opposite of "lost"

2:54 am

smithchick

Change that consonant to a vowel on the ke4/9 (the last one)...Think of the little sporty cars for the other ke4/8 (just substitute the e for the i)

2:55 am

smithchick

Then there is kh...Star Trek.Wrath of Kh**

2:55 am

smithchick

Could I get a clue for the c6? It's my last word.

2:57 am

3:00 am

amandacath

Hi Haz! It's one of those small and ugly ones, I'm afraid

3:00 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think that may well be an apt description.

3:00 am

Dianne

JMann - did you get that ke4/8? I can't figure it out.

3:02 am

Cat9x

Dianne, sounds like car k***

3:02 am

Chicana Cutie

I have no clue what I am doing.. just letting you all know

3:03 am

JMann

dianne - its like the small green vegitables that come in pods, just change the first letter

3:03 am

Haz1558

To get a clue, click on Angelsong's resource page, under Friends of Bablle, at the bottom of the web page, and you will find lots of information there.

3:04 am

Dianne

JMann - I knew that word but just didn't look where I should have - thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

3:05 am

JMann

no problem, as you've done it for me as well

3:14 am

Cat9x

Any clues for the O, I'm just not seeing it, thanks :)

3:14 am

Haz1558

Do you know second letter/point values?

3:15 am

JMann

OU 4/6

3:15 am

Cat9x

No I don't Haz, sorry

3:15 am

Dianne

3:15 am

Cat9x

thanks JM

3:15 am

Cat9x

3:15 am

amandacath

3:36 am

Preethi

Hello.. Im back!!

3:37 am

Cat9x

The y's are killing me, and clues please. Hi Preethi

3:37 am

Haz1558

Hello Preethi, this grid is making us concentrate thismorning.

3:39 am

Haz1558

I've just found one y word - ya4/8 - rhymes with another word for peculiar or strange.

3:39 am

Haz1558

And it can be pluralised.

3:40 am

JMann

then take that and plural it

3:40 am

Cat9x

Thanks Haz, I swear I tried that combo, thank you :)

3:41 am

Haz1558

Do you have the ladies name with the same ending?

3:41 am

Cat9x

yes, just got it, the 2 m's, thanks :)

3:44 am

jillibus

hello all, i'm here briefly, but i must say these ridiculous words are considerably off-putting!

3:45 am

Haz1558

Good morning jillibus. It's the sort of grid where you feel you're picking the words out with tweezers! There are some nice words, though.

3:45 am

Cat9x

Hi Jilli, I agree :) 30 left and I am pulling my hair out

3:48 am

Cat9x

With the K in the middle, I keep trying to include it in all the words I keep monkey typing

3:49 am

Jemma444

Hello everyone!!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Good evening Jemma!

3:50 am

Cat9x

Hi Jemma

3:50 am

jillibus

hello jemma

3:50 am

Jemma444

Haz!!!!You got it right!!!And hello again Cat and Jilli!!

3:51 am

Haz1558

I remembered just in time!

3:51 am

jillibus

I keep wantin The Kraken Wakes

3:52 am

Jemma444

Yeah, How many words today, my 14 day trail has just ran out!!what does that mean???

3:52 am

Kallia

kant

3:52 am

jillibus

109 beastly ones, jemma

3:52 am

Kallia

oops ...good morning all

3:52 am

Haz1558

109 words total. It means that you won't get the stats panel to show you how many words are coming off each letter.

3:53 am

Cat9x

109 Jemma, means you no longer get the stat panels

3:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning Kallia.

3:53 am

Haz1558

Good morning Kallia.

3:53 am

Cat9x

Hi Kalia

3:53 am

Haz1558

Sorry - didn't mean to post twice, post twice.

3:53 am

Kallia

this looks as if it may be a struggle today

3:53 am

Jemma444

Is that bad cat?

3:53 am

thesnark

Beastly is an excellent word for this grid.

3:53 am

jillibus

Kallia, hi. I think there are some words a scots lassie could know -- otherwise...

3:54 am

Jemma444

It is a hard one!!

3:55 am

amandacath

Well, that was a nasty one! These are the grids I really dislike - short and full of ridiculous words no one's ever heard of. Will stick around for a while if anyone needs clues

3:55 am

Cat9x

It is very challenging Jemma

3:55 am

Jemma444

be back soon!

3:55 am

Haz1558

It's a test of vocabulary and endurance. My vocabulary has about run out at 62 words.

3:56 am

thesnark

I'm feeling stupid....I can't find the KAs. :-(

3:56 am

Cat9x

congrats amanda for finsishing, any hair left? :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

the snark - put one more a into what you have written about the KAs.

3:57 am

Cat9x

Don't feel stupid snark. one has a double vowel with snake letter at the end. the other, think the movie, Citizen ****

3:58 am

thesnark

Thanx Haz and Cat - I'm glad someone's kept their brain. :-)

3:59 am

Cat9x

Am I showing my age on the movie clue. Its a classic, so not sure how many younger one's will kn ow it

3:59 am

Cat9x

you're welcome snark :)

3:59 am

Jemma444

Maddie26 are you there?

3:59 am

Maddie26

hey everyone! how many words today?

4:00 am

Haz1558

As you say, Cat, it IS a classic, so they should get it.

4:00 am

thesnark

109 - and you'll regret each one.

4:00 am

Jemma444

Maddie, has your 14 day trial run out??mine has!!)-:

4:00 am

thesnark

(and I say that with love). :-)

4:00 am

Maddie26

yes jemma

4:01 am

Cat9x

lol snark, you got that one right :)

4:01 am

amandacath

Wouldn't even have attempted the thing without the list - I'd like to keep my hair a bit longer!

4:01 am

Cat9x

I'm slowly losing mine amanda, no list yet.

4:01 am

Jemma444

it's really bad. now we can't see the stats!!

4:01 am

Cat9x

29 left

4:02 am

Cat9x

Exactly Jemma, that is why when my free trial ran out, I paid to go pro.

4:03 am

saphyre

hi again everyone

4:03 am

Jemma444

but cat, is it worth it???because i am younger do you think i should??

4:03 am

Jemma444

hi saph!!

4:03 am

Cat9x

Hi saphyre

4:03 am

thesnark

Hello Saph

4:03 am

saphyre

ok I have 13 to go, this one was tough

4:03 am

Cat9x

I think it is well worth the money. It's a good investment Jemma, it is helping you to learn new words.

4:04 am

Haz1558

Jemma - see how you get on without the stats first. Don't forget to look for the shorter words. This grid is difficult, so you will not be able to get sequences going.

4:04 am

Jemma444

yeah i guess!!i'll think about it!!

4:05 am

Jemma444

haz, i am really struggling!!

4:05 am

Haz1558

How many words have you got?

4:05 am

Jemma444

8!!!!!

4:06 am

Haz1558

If I give you some clues to find four letter words with k in them, will that help?

4:06 am

Jemma444

YES!

4:07 am

jillibus

I have 36 words, some of which are recognisable, so I'm going to bed and won't have much time tomorrow to try for more via the A2Z and the good clue-givers who have assembled a list of the rubbish words for future use

4:08 am

jillibus

kean

4:08 am

Cat9x

Sleep well Jili, rubbish words, I agree

4:08 am

Haz1558

Okay - there is a title for a noble gentleman, there is a fish (ha4), there is something that is baked, you say it after 'for goodness ****', there is a word meaning to manufacture or create, and a word meaning to grab.

4:08 am

Cat9x

switch those letters around Jili for ka4/8 :)

4:08 am

jillibus

Kean doesn't work althoughI keep hoping!

4:09 am

jillibus

I had that cat, thanx!

4:09 am

Cat9x

The other ke jili, would you like a clue?

4:10 am

Cat9x

oops, mean, one of the others

4:10 am

Jemma444

ive got most of them, but i don't understand the first 2!

4:10 am

Kallia

I have 2 ka, 2ke and kh...what am I missing please

4:11 am

Cat9x

there is another ke Kallia

4:11 am

Haz1558

Jemma - some words with v in them. A word meaning jealousy (en4/9), a word meaning either a country's collection of ships or a shade of blue, to possess, and then put a letter on the possess word to find a retreat, or oasis of calm.

4:11 am

jillibus

oK, yes please, I have one ke, the first one. And then I AM going to be!

4:11 am

Cat9x

ke4/9

4:12 am

Kallia

cat is that 3 ke4/9?

4:12 am

Haz1558

The noble gentlemans title is du4/10, the fish is ha4/9, Jemma. Both words end in the same vowel, so you should be able to work them out ...

4:12 am

Cat9x

ke plus a piece of **e, change the last letter to a consonant for the other ke4/9

4:13 am

hurshy

hey guys, it's hurshy at the zurich airport!

4:13 am

Jemma444

hey hurshy

4:13 am

hurshy

Jemma444

4:18 am

Cat9x

4:18 am

hurshy

4:18 am

Dianne

4:18 am

Jemma444

4:18 am

ylleria

4:22 am

Kallia

4:22 am

hurshy

no kallia it is a famous native american woman

4:22 am

Kallia

ah ok :)

4:23 am

hurshy

i guess only famous to americans :)

4:23 am

Kallia

LOL

4:24 am

hurshy

whew i am tired. i only slept like 4 hours the night before we left and then i slept a few fitful hours on the plane, and it's 5:23 AM my time...

4:24 am

hurshy

but our theory is if we just don't get sleep before and then go to bed at... oh say 9 local time... then we will be quickly acclimated.

4:25 am

Kallia

I thought you were joking...but I had to look it up!

4:25 am

Kallia

thats the best way to acclimatise hurshy

4:25 am

hurshy

joking... about sacajawea? no she's real... i could have spelled it wrong i guess...

4:25 am

Kallia

no you spelt it right :)

4:26 am

hurshy

i was a spelling bee champ in my youth

4:26 am

Queenruejean

No, you got it right, Hurshy.

4:26 am

hurshy

course they don't ask you proper names...

4:26 am

hurshy

well yay for me then

4:26 am

Kallia

I was many things in my youth, but you don't need to know :)

4:27 am

hurshy

does anyone else think that "send in the clowns" is a very unexpected song? i mean the title sounds like it should be happy and upbeat and it's all sad and stuff.

4:27 am

Kallia

have to go back later for last 42...hurshy have a great trip

4:27 am

hurshy

thanks kallia :)

4:27 am

Kallia

love that song......

4:28 am

Queenruejean

Yeah, Hurshy. It's very downbeat. Can't judge a book by it's cover or a song by it's title, I guess!

4:28 am

thesnark

The song is about two people out of sync - sadly comical. If you know the musical its from, you'll know why.

4:29 am

Queenruejean

What musical is it from, Snark?

4:29 am

hurshy

well i just think it should go "seeeend iiiiin the CLOOWWWWNS, send in the happy silly clowns..." or something

4:29 am

thesnark

A Little Night Music by Stephen Sondheim. It's a great show. It's based on a film by Ingmar Bergman - but it isn't depressing at all. Romantic comedy.

4:30 am

hurshy

so they have all these newspapers in the lounge here in like a lot of asian languages and stuff and there's a khaleej times and i don't even know where khaleej is!

4:31 am

Queenruejean

Thanks, Snark. I never knew that. Hurshy, it's like the book by William Saroyan called The Human Comedy. A guy asked me once if it was funny & I said no. He thought it should have a different title then. But I think the title is appropriate.

4:31 am

hurshy

well the human comedy sounds like it could be ironic... i can see that...

4:32 am

saphyre

ughh 6 to go

4:32 am

hurshy

qrj, i don't think i've seen you in awhile, how've you been?

4:32 am

Dianne

5:36 am

thesnark

I did find it - it's a warrant for arrest.

5:36 am

Cat9x

What a wonderful photo Ata!

5:37 am

Atalante

Cat9x

5:42 am

thesnark

I don't know if you saw my clue Cat - it means an warrant for arrest. You can google it if you have trouble with the spelling.

5:43 am

Atalante

she's a she :) just over a year old, horrendously independent until she suddenly decides she *needs* to cuddle all night long! and she's a tiny little thing - her mom is a really small purebred Burmese ...

5:44 am

Cat9x

5:45 am

thesnark

Any help with the Ma6s?

5:45 am

Cat9x

That finished my C's, 24 left :)

5:45 am

Atalante

when she curls up, she's only about 8" long and she curls right into any little crook she can find - normally right in behind my legs - its so cute!

5:46 am

Dianne

Cat - glad you got all those :)

5:46 am

Cat9x

awww Ata, Don't ya just love kittys that cuddle at night. The one that loved to cuddle with me like that, passed a couple months ago. She was my bed buddy, I miss her.

5:47 am

mrpresident

animals on the bed!! I have 5 of them at one time!! not cute!

5:47 am

Atalante

I have a cuddly cat and a cuddly dog :) Hobbit cuddles up usually actually in my arms or along my back, and Silverclaw finds whatever space she wants :)

5:47 am

Cat9x

She had to be right at my chest, curled up, and if I switched sides, she would come 'round to whatever side my face was.

5:48 am

Cat9x

LOL mrp, they hog the bed, but awwww :)

5:48 am

Atalante

I love falling asleep to contented purring

5:49 am

Cat9x

5:49 am

mrpresident

awwww, my butt!! I have a king size bed and maybe get 5 inches to myself! If I put on any weight, I am done for!!

5:49 am

Cat9x

My doggie doesn't sleep with me, would need a super King for that, she is huge, and a bed hog :)

5:49 am

Haz1558

Can I tell you a true story? My husband (a vet) was called to do a house vist quite late at night. When he arrived, he was taken up the stairs, to find the dog in the bed, and the female owner, in her nightgown, in bed as well. He was rather embarrassed, as you can imagine!

5:50 am

Cat9x

LOL mrp! Don't you know by now, you don't own Cats? They OWN you :)

5:50 am

Atalante

lol sounds familiar! the little kitten from hell who is the size of a bunny rabbit not a real cat managed to take up about 80% of the duvet last night!

5:50 am

Cat9x

Sure Haz :)

5:50 am

Dianne

Haz - what's the rest of this story?

5:50 am

mrpresident

but not MY 5 inches of the bed!! the slasher claws and evil looks are just not enough to move me!!!

5:51 am

Haz1558

The rest of the story is that he examined the dog and got out of there as quickly as possible!

5:51 am

Cat9x

LOL Haz!!!!

5:51 am

mrpresident

oh Haz... you could have extended that like crab in a fish market!

5:51 am

Dianne

Are you saying the woman called the vet and then wehnt and got back in bed with the dog to await his arrival?

5:52 am

Cat9x

Slasher claws and evil looks, why.......thats me!!! :)

5:52 am

mrpresident

the fact she was in bed with her dog is enough!!

5:52 am

Dianne

this sounds like part of a stic com....

5:52 am

Atalante

was it a male dog???

5:53 am

Haz1558

No, not quite that, in that her partner opened the door. I think they just had no idea that it wasn't very appropriate.

5:53 am

Dianne

*sit com*

5:53 am

mrpresident

was it a guy dressed in a dog suit??

5:54 am

Dianne

Are you referring to the guy who opened the door?

5:55 am

Haz1558

One of the other funny stories which we know to be true, relates to a local farmer who kept goats. He had the flu, took to his bed, but one particular goat wouldn't allow anyone but him to milk her. So, the farmer's aunts brought the goat into the bedroom, lifted the goat onto the bed, and the poor farmer had to milk her from there.

5:55 am

Cat9x

Yikes!!!!

5:55 am

mrpresident

that is just wrong on all accounts!!

5:56 am

Cat9x

I agree!

5:56 am

Haz1558

These people were a little eccentric at the best of times!

5:57 am

Dianne

I can't stop laughing at the mental picture I have of the auntie/the goat/the farmer/the bucket....

5:57 am

Cat9x

Eccentric is being kind :)

5:58 am

mrpresident

antie, goat, farmer and bucket?? I am going with jerry springer here

5:58 am

Cat9x

Poor goat :( Was he an ugly farmer?

5:58 am

Haz1558

7:53 am

You didn't feel it? So tell me, did anything move? Did you fall? No, I felt nothing? So, did you lose anthing valuable?

8:33 am

ch1212

Angelsong, my daughter did that with an online photo share called 'snapfish' - so far 3 of us have posted photos and there is a total of about 300. And we still haven't posted the ones from the 15 cameras on the tables, or the relatives' digital ones! It's an amazing site.

8:35 am

FMitch

Hi all
Bit of a sticky grid today.

8:36 am

jaianniah

You are missing a ka, I think- try ka with a double vowel in the middle (which vowel should be obvious)

8:36 am

Uneaixoise

JA, another ka4/8

8:36 am

ch1212

abe, they are related to the eye -- the middle part with the iris

8:36 am

jaianniah

LOL Abe

8:36 am

Haz1558

Hello FMitch - going to start now or are you just tempting yourself for later?

8:37 am

FMitch

Hey Haz, Have been babbling quietly for the last hour whilst the printer chugs away.

8:37 am

jaianniah

This grid isn't sticky, it's done with Super Glue and Obscurity!

8:37 am

abe79

i'm going to have an entirely new vocabulary at the end of this grid

8:38 am

Haz1558

And what do you think of the show so far?

8:38 am

FMitch

It was a great start got to 80 and now ground to a halt.

8:39 am

inge

Thanks jai, I needed that ka word too . Got to go out now though, only 16 to go.

8:39 am

jaianniah

What I am trying to figure out is what to do with all these new words I'm learning- : "Gosh, my uv++ is hurting today!"?

8:39 am

Haz1558

So waiting for inspiration to strike!

8:39 am

jaianniah

yw

8:40 am

FMitch

LOL yes Haz, hence the pause for a quick chat. How are you getting on with the grid and is yr arm stiff yet?

8:41 am

ch1212

jainniah maybe we should try to make a sentence using as many of the obscure words as possible --- and each word has to be used correctly! (Gosh it's nice to know I'm with a group of people who might actually find that suggestion as fun as I do!)

8:41 am

jaianniah

This puzzle definitely requires monkey skills!

8:41 am

FMitch

LOL ch1212 - great idea

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

ch1212, I was thinkin' the same thing! LOL!!

8:42 am

jaianniah

Oh, boy, I am hard pressed with the one I just made up! LOL

8:42 am

ch1212

Birds of a feather :D

8:42 am

abe79

that is a great idea

8:43 am

harpjane

hello. easier than yesterday?

8:43 am

jaianniah

For example- the bride and groom say "To ha++ and to hold"

8:43 am

jaianniah

and I am not referring to the easy word!

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

" I sold my sa***** for 1000 ta***"

8:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry Fmitch - taking a phone call there. There's a degree of excitement next door as a group of honey bees have swarmed into a bush. It's quite a sight!

8:45 am

FMitch

Hi ahp Didn't play jesterday but it is not that easy today but fun none the less

8:45 am

ch1212

"My uveas were hurting so much I couldn't spot the pacas on our capias trip, so I relied on the maven in our group to point them out." That's only 4 though ...

8:45 am

Vicuna

From high on his ma6, the Great Kh4 gestured with his pe5 and exclaimed, "Issue a ca6 for those ca4!"

8:45 am

jaianniah

Oh, Vicuna, that's great!

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

8:46 am

Vicuna

I have only half the words so far, so I'm working with a handicap!

8:46 am

Haz1558

It has reminded me of the bees swarming in 'Fried Green Tomatoes'

8:46 am

ch1212

OH MY GOSH!!!!! I JUST REALIZED WHAT I DID!!! I AM SOOOOOO SORRY~

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

The ve7 kh4 jumped up into his ma6 and shouted "Follow the swathes of sa7! Therein lie the elephants!"

8:47 am

8:48 am

jaianniah

VERY GOOD, Atalante!

8:48 am

Jen

8:48 am

ch1212

8:48 am

Jen

Morning everyone, BTW!

8:49 am

jaianniah

Hiya, Jen

8:49 am

Vicuna

Vic - I may be a troubled man

8:49 am

ETL

Good morning to everyone ...good luck

8:50 am

I dunno. Sounds like YOU are untroubled. Just the people around you may have trouble!

8:50 am

jrh402s

excellent point. after all, i am moderately hellacious

8:51 am

jaianniah

It's the PUZZLE that is goofy- ordinarily, pe5,10 would be what he said!

6:36 pm

jaianniah

6:36 pm

nrkii

6:37 pm

jaianniah

Dax, that would be great!

6:37 pm

Dax

6:38 pm

jaianniah

Do you know, I think I've been on for three hours?????

6:38 pm

Dax

i have a BA in photography from UCF. I love outdoor photography

6:42 pm

JeeWhiz

The problem that I had with the pa5, is that it does not end in en, it ends in an. pa + 2 vowels + n.

6:42 pm

Dax

my wife does alot of photoshop too.

6:42 pm

jaianniah

WTG< feather!

6:43 pm

nrkii

Jee, that's why JAI put it as "en" (for the sound, rather than the letter) but I can see why that might confuse

6:43 pm

jaianniah

I was spelling out the letter.....sorry, I will change that clue....nrkii does it better...

6:43 pm

Dax

i'm an idiot!!!!! i didn't even see that other "n" in the top corner.

6:44 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, just clarifying for those who were confused like I was.

6:44 pm

featherbee

i'm ignoring clues for now, so in an hour, when i ask for that pa, don't slap me!

6:44 pm

jaianniah

k! LOL

6:45 pm

Dax

i was twisting all the vowels i could and just couldn't gt around to that other n. i feel much relieved. thanks jaia

6:45 pm

th + M** West

7:21 pm

featherbee

interesting thoughts! i agree with how it's interesting how differently people clue. and as a rule, i prefer the more vague clues, until i'm about to pull my hair out over one,then i don't mind it being spelled out! kind of depends on how hard up i am for the word.

7:22 pm

periwinkle

meant th4/6

7:22 pm

nrkii

th 4/6 is an old-fashioned way of saying You

7:23 pm

periwinkle

nrkii, thanks, don't know how I missed that one

7:23 pm

nrkii

yeah, I've been debating about even posting that feather

7:23 pm

Ping

i haven't read it yet, nrkii, but i have discovered how little i know about certain fields because some of the clues stump me so profoundly. for example, apparently i don't know the name of a single bone in the human body.

7:23 pm

nrkii

Ping -- me neither!!!

7:23 pm

featherbee

lol ping!

7:23 pm

Dax

3 to go.... working on my second firework show ever!

7:23 pm

nrkii

I rarely clue to the actual definition -- more often break the word apart or use puns/wordplay

7:24 pm

nrkii

go DAX!

7:24 pm

periwinkle

I prefer more concrete, spelled out clues. I usually don't ask for help unless I have tried hard to find a word. or unlesss I am really tired :)

7:24 pm

featherbee

i think you did it nicely...didn't put down the ways of clueing, just show what your personal preference is

7:24 pm

periwinkle

nrkii, you give great clues

7:25 pm

7:46 pm

FranMag - It's surpising how many people don't like clowns. I get creeped out by those ventriloquists dummies, too.

7:46 pm

FranMag

jac, those dummies are worse...i've seen Twilight Zone!!!

7:47 pm

Jacula

Me, too, FranMag. *shudders*

7:47 pm

libarebel

I am SO creeped out by clowns-- always have been...

7:48 pm

Jacula

y/w, Peri.

7:48 pm

renfield

teehee......

7:48 pm

FranMag

sueq, that's why i don't like them. way before the movie came out i had a picture in my head and it's way worse than what they put on the screen!!

7:48 pm

libarebel

I think that any kind of parody of the human form; manneqins, clowns, even dolls etc. are very frightening on a primal level...

7:48 pm

FranMag

feather, it works really great when you have the first 3 letters and a def, i love it too!

7:48 pm

featherbee

how about the first ma 6/36?

7:49 pm

periwinkle

I love onelook reverse dictionary too

7:49 pm

SueQ

Oh yeah, the book was far more creepy, I am too good at scaring myself

7:49 pm

FranMag

that's why Chucky was such a successful franchise

7:49 pm

Hi lib, I left for a minute then came back, so I didnt see you said hi until just now.

7:51 pm

featherbee

we had a chuckie doll that my husband got in one of those claw grab game thingies. he used to put it out on the porch at halloween. freaked me out to keep it in the house the rest of the year...i ended up moving it to the back enclosed porch, in a wall locker, inside something else so i didn't have to see it.

7:51 pm

Jacula

Featherbee - for ma6/36 think Lego stories. Ma6 (also known as Matoa) is the main villan of the 'Bionicle' universe.

7:51 pm

Inariargenteus

sa 7/32, please?

7:51 pm

libarebel

burp it, ren!

7:52 pm

FranMag

feather, first ma6/36 is like the brand of power tools, change the second vowel

7:52 pm

SueQ

2nd ma... the *** pole + wine drop the "e"

7:52 pm

FranMag

last ma6/36 is a homophone of the ma5/18 right above it

7:52 pm

featherbee

thanks jac, gave me enough to google with! and thanks everyone else who chipped in

7:53 pm

FranMag

sa 7/32 is a type of grass used to make hay

7:53 pm

Jacula

Ina - sa7/32. A tufted perennial grass (Sporobolus wrightii) of the southwest United States, used for pasture and hay in arid regions. Sounds like a hessian bag that weighs a lot!

8:06 pm

Cat9x

8:07 pm

Cat9x

8:07 pm

Jacula

disney - ou4/6 - a lute-like instrument from the East.

8:07 pm

FranMag

8:08 pm

periwinkle

Yea! I am done too, thanks so much for all of the clues.

8:08 pm

Jacula

That ou word also sounds like the latest aliens from Dr. Who (the ones who look like they have the contents of a mincer coming from their mouths.)

8:09 pm

8:16 pm

libarebel

ewwwwww, eva! true, tho!

8:16 pm

featherbee

lol eva....ewie!

8:16 pm

featherbee

pe6 sounds like a nut, spelled with a different middle letter

8:17 pm

Jacula

pe6 is plural of the pe5 before it. A nut spelled differently.

8:17 pm

disneyjessi

ooohhh..i'm so close! thanks!

8:18 pm

libarebel

even if I were VERY hungry it would not occur to me to eat a slug (gag)

8:18 pm

Jacula

During the apparent frenzy of gastropodical mating in my garden a couple of weeks ago, I swear I saw a slug and a snail 'at it'. Now what kind of creature is THAT going to produce, I ask....?

8:19 pm

Jacula

A 'snug' maybe?

8:20 pm

Jacula

Or will half the kiddywinks live in mansions and half be homeless?

8:20 pm

FranMag

that's good jac!

8:20 pm

featherbee

hehehe

8:21 pm

Eva

LOL jac-what an image-conjures up snail orgies...hard to put passion and slugs in the same sentence, but you did it. So, do you think you could give me a clue for the ma6/36 that doesn't involve searching fruitlessly through some horrific legos web site?

8:22 pm

disneyjessi

ok..plz a clue for pa 5/14 and pa 4/6

8:22 pm

Jacula

Eva - I will try (re the clue). Then I'll tell you the story of my Mother, a cannabis plant and an orgy...

8:23 pm

Eva

ooooh, can't wait, for both the clue and the story!

8:23 pm

helenkeller

snails have to be in just the right garlic-butter concoction for me to eat them - i would not do well on survivor :)

8:23 pm

FranMag

disney, last part of llama like animal, al**** and then plural for the 5/14

8:23 pm

featherbee

ma6...know lion king? known the song about no worries, and being happy? blend the two words, and that's it

8:23 pm

libarebel

cabbabis plants can be hermaphroditic-- actually had a few in a long ago crop!

8:24 pm

Jacula

Eva - try this... ma** (to construct or invent) + Salt State (think The Osmonds) minus the last letter.

8:24 pm

disneyjessi

was missing the plural (again), but now missing the other 4/6

8:24 pm

Eva

You guys are making me feel totally illiterate-don't know lion king either.

8:25 pm

FranMag

disney, take the last vowel off of the plural

8:25 pm

featherbee

featherbee

lol fran, i was wondering if you were telling us all "to helen" as in go to her and help!

8:27 pm

FranMag

that too feather!!! ;-)

8:27 pm

Jacula

Eva - The Story: Years ago, wild bird seed contained hemp seed (cannabis seed). During a good, hot summer, the hemp seed tha fell from bird tables grew like wildfire in British gardens. Mum had such a plant, 5' tall by her birdtable. 'What's this?' she asked me. 'It's a pretty plant!' 'Mum,' I said. 'That's pot!' In a panic, she ripped it out and threw it on her compost heap. Next morning it was covered (totally) with spaced out slugs and snails. Our slug and snail population rose locally about 200-fold!

8:28 pm

featherbee

lmao, tripping snails, how funny!

8:28 pm

FranMag

that is hilarious jacula!!! did they come from far and wide or did your own snails just have a population explosion??

8:28 pm

helenkeller

LOL jacula - that's a great story!

8:28 pm

libarebel

slugs look pretty spaced out anyway!

8:29 pm

libarebel

hard to tell...

8:29 pm

disneyjessi

ke 4..have the one to keep

8:29 pm

Jacula

Slugs and snails love anything addictive. That's why we use beer traps to get 'em here in UK.

8:29 pm

Eva

What a wonderful story! You're mother's innocence-and those very happy snails. They must have passd the word on from snail to snail about the party on the compost heap

8:29 pm

featherbee

the other sounds like your house ke**

8:30 pm

libarebel

slugs are so decadent! lol, jac!

8:30 pm

FranMag

disney, just change the last letter of the one you have

8:30 pm

Jacula

Eva - That year I think my Mum was not the only one chucking those plants on the compost heap. LOL.

8:30 pm

disneyjessi

8:31 pm

Jacula

Do you want clues, Jessi?

8:31 pm

Eva

8:31 pm

featherbee

they all start with the same first 3 letters eva

8:31 pm

helenkeller

8:31 pm

disneyjessi

8:31 pm

FranMag

eva, the last one sounds just like the first

8:31 pm

featherbee

yes helen

8:32 pm

Eva

thanks fran-guess there are a lot of alternate spellings

8:32 pm

helenkeller

monkeying not so easy

8:32 pm

Jacula

Eva - ma5/18 rhymes with a man's name beginning with G.

8:32 pm

featherbee

na 5/16 sounds like one of the armed forces

8:33 pm

Jacula

Sounds like mother on the French wine.

8:33 pm

Eva

have it-thanks everyone

8:33 pm

featherbee

helen, two of the ha words have double vowels

8:33 pm

FranMag

na5/16 sounds like the military na4/9, it's an anagram of an na word that means young and unknowledgeable

8:34 pm

helenkeller

thx feather - got it

8:34 pm

helenkeller

5 now

8:34 pm

FranMag

8:34 pm

featherbee

it's a four letter u helen

8:35 pm

disneyjessi

8:35 pm

bookwyrmish

Hi, all. Just checking back in. Anyone need a clue ? (dances triumphantly, having completed this one!)

8:35 pm

featherbee

almost sounds like one of our states pluralized

8:35 pm

Jacula

Helen - it's an old English word for festivity and merriment. Sounds more like the Osmond's home state pluralised though.

8:36 pm

FranMag

jessi, if you have the ne4/7, add another vowel to it after the first letter

8:36 pm

Jacula

Bookwyrmish - WELL DONE!

8:36 pm

helenkeller

groan - thx jacula - i swear - the last 3 words i put in, i thought i had already

8:36 pm

8:39 pm

bookwyrmish

ma 5/16 is plural of the 4/7?

8:39 pm

helenkeller

yeah feather - i just saw that LOL

8:39 pm

Jacula

First sounds like more than one hissing character from the Jungle Book, or automobiles. The second sounds like a cut off bamboo to support plants or the first murderer.

8:39 pm

featherbee

yesssssssssssss

8:39 pm

helenkeller

DUH!

8:40 pm

disneyjessi

lol..i have missed EVERY plural today, geez. i'm so embarassed.

8:40 pm

Jacula

ka4/9 - Think of the Peter Sarstedt song ' Where do you go to my Lovely?' Who bought her a race horse for Christmas? The Aga Kh**.

8:41 pm

Jacula

That last clue should be 'kh'.

8:41 pm

featherbee

that's ok jess, it happens!

8:43 pm

helenkeller

8:43 pm

featherbee

helenkeller

8:44 pm

featherbee

"never minnnnd!"

8:44 pm

Jacula

Jessi - last pe4/5 sounds like it hurts.

8:44 pm

helenkeller

what did rosanne rosannadanna say ? it just goes to show you ....

8:45 pm

featherbee

gilda was great

8:45 pm

bookwyrmish

8:46 pm

Eva

Fireworks!!!First time in a long time that I haven't been too tired or in too much pain to finish. Feels good. Think I'll go out in the garden, round up some slugs and have a feast!

8:46 pm

helenkeller

finally - fireworks!!

8:46 pm

Jacula

Helen - sa7/32 - type of grass used for making hay. Sounds like a hessian bag that is very heavy. sa4/8 - 'for goodness sa**!', sa4/5 - what you find on beaches.

8:46 pm

disneyjessi

night feather, and thanks for all the hints!

8:48 pm

disneyjessi

good night feather..thanks so much for your help today!

8:48 pm

Eva

they've been merciless in attacking the Ligularia. The good news is that they get so full they ignore everything else. The bad news is that the Ligularia looks like swiss cheese

8:48 pm

Jacula

Jessi - there are 3 ma5/18s

8:49 pm

FranMag

all those ma5/18 start with the same first 3 letters jessi

8:49 pm

FranMag

jessi, two of them sound the same, the middle one is an adjective

8:49 pm

Jacula

Jessi - ne4/5 is a Scottish turnip or swede. Also a type of sea tide.

8:49 pm

bookwyrmish

ne 4,5 rhymes with the sound of a baby chick , means a special kind of tide

8:50 pm

disneyjessi

oohhh..good baby chick clue..

8:50 pm

helenkeller

good nite feather :)

8:50 pm

Jacula

ne4/4 - think spick and span, ne** and tidy.

8:50 pm

bookwyrmish

ne 4,4 is what the place looks like after you have cleaned it up...

8:51 pm

disneyjessi

goodness..that was an obvious one! thanks..one left!!! the ma!

8:52 pm

Jacula

1st ma5/18 is only initial letter different from the ha5 (sanctuary) word.

8:52 pm

Eva

if you have the ma5/18's that are the yiddish expert, just take the second one and change the n to a vowel

8:52 pm

helenkeller

thanks for your help - see you at the flip, or tomorrow :)

8:52 pm

Jacula

Okay Helen. Sleep well.

8:52 pm

disneyjessi

8:52 pm

bookwyrmish

8:52 pm

Eva

8:52 pm

helenkeller

hey dis - today i just took, lol

8:53 pm

8:54 pm

fuzzy55

this babble thing is getting to be a family affair.

8:54 pm

FranMag

yay fuzzy!!!

8:54 pm

bookwyrmish

cool. Do you sudoku, too?

8:54 pm

Jacula

2nd ma5/18 rhymes with the sea force (not the land or air force).

8:54 pm

Eva

hey jess-can't go to sleep until you find that last one. How's it going?

8:54 pm

9:08 pm

Jen

Hey there Jac!

9:08 pm

GreyWoulf

And a fine good evening to one and all!

9:08 pm

TH 5/16 clue please

9:10 pm

bookwyrmish

I've survived an end of school year grading period, and have retreated to the woods of Maine because my middle son is shutting down and needs quiet space (autism, asperger's, sensitivity to sound, etc.). First time I've left the rest of the family, GreyWoulf.

9:11 pm

aknitter

jac - swedish fish are really sour gummy worm type candies that are bright red and sugar coated, no swedish fish in your country?

9:11 pm

Jen

Woo hoo for you woulf... uh, may I ask what that means? (sorry!)

9:11 pm

Jacula

Herring? Turbot?

9:12 pm

bookwyrmish

GreyWoulf, taken on permanent? Sounds promising!

9:12 pm

Jacula

Oh right, aknitter. Possibly, I've never eaten that kind of sweet so wouldn't know.

9:12 pm

mich_pdx

yay, fireworks for me, the migraine meds have kicked in and I feel great again.... anyone needs clues?

9:18 pm

Orrchid

I can't seee the ma 6/27

9:19 pm

Jacula

Ping - it happens to us all! We get so hung up on looking for weird words we miss the normal ones. Hence the birth of the Babble fishslap.

9:19 pm

Ping

whoever made up the phrase "i slept like a baby" obviously never had one - or one of mine, at least!

9:19 pm

mab

think spring wine, orchid

9:29 pm

mich_pdx

orrchid, same as spring wine without the sometimes vowel

9:29 pm

9:37 pm

jaianniah

Hello- I'm baaaaack...I spent three HOURS Babbling clues this afternoon- I am Masochistic/Altruistic both. We had a hilarious conversation in which the tenets of the 12 step programs were applied to Babble, and came up with some VERY funny gems. Of course, our Higher Power is Dr_God...and then there's the steps, and the slogans...my contribution was ">And when we were wrong, promptly passeth the fish..." What do you folks think? LOL involved.

10:00 pm

ronnielee

that it is mich, nothing like trying to got to sleep then seeing the word you missed the next day thinking what a dummy I was

10:01 pm

ronnielee

everyone tonight gave great clues much appreciated.

10:02 pm

nrkii

okay it was multiple angry cats -- I went out on my porch and there were two cats hanging out -- apparently a third that I've never seen before came along and picked a fight ... meanwhile, I don't even like cats, but I inherited these cats as frequent visitors from the previous owners ... I think they must have marked my porch or something!

10:02 pm

Jacula

Just come back from another site. Well done for finishing, ronnielee!

10:02 pm

nrkii

the cats, not the owners, marked the porch, that is

10:03 pm

nrkii

congrats ronnie!

10:03 pm

mich_pdx

nrkii, you know what works for cat pee? Orange peel based cleaners. I have two cats, both not territorial, and other cats come along and spray my door, etc. & it STINKS! Cats don't like citrus smells, either

10:04 pm

Jacula

nrkii - cats DO that! I'm more of a doggy person than a catty person, but, somehow, since my old dog died I have ended up with 2 cats living in. Could have been more, had the in situ cats allowed it. Just as well for me that they do that really, otherwise might end up as one of those 'mad old women with 100 cats'.

10:05 pm

nrkii

good advice -- these cats are okay, sometimes it makes me laugh that they hang out on my porch (though once I answered the door, and one of the cats came inside, and I had to get a neighbor to grab the cat for me -- I'm allergic)

10:05 pm

Jacula

As for the marking - it's not the house they mark, it's the daft twit living in it. The look at you and think, 'There's a soft touch! I'll move in there, if it suits me.@

10:05 pm

nrkii

lol jacula

10:05 pm

nrkii

I think they say, "there's a dog person! I'll show them!"

10:06 pm

nrkii

10 people in a room, I'm the only one allergic, I'm the first one the cat goes to...

10:07 pm

Jacula

nrkii - I once wrote about on cat psychology. Cats ALWAYS go to the one that ignores them. The HATE being fussed too much.

10:08 pm

Jacula

*meant wrote a book.

10:08 pm

Darci

any clues for the pa5/12?

10:08 pm

nrkii

pa + string b*** (vegetable)

10:08 pm

mich_pdx

lol, Jac! One of my cats moved in with us, to my neighbor's chagrin! when I went to Italy for 3 weeks and he stayed in my old apt with my "real" cat while she filled the bowl every couple of days, that's when she decided maybe he wasn't hers anymore. Jac, I slightly disagree, as my adoptive cat, whom I used to call "the Interloper", is a glutton for affection and has to be in my lap whenever I sit down.

10:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi everyone!

10:09 pm

10:11 pm

mich_pdx

(nrkii, what's tomorrow's theme? clowns, sadness, or creepy childhood icons?)

10:12 pm

nrkii

like what you have 3 of in every half inning of baseball, but change the first consonant

10:12 pm

nrkii

clowns Mich, and I'm not a big fan of clowns, so I went with emmett kelly

10:12 pm

mich_pdx

TO, sounds scottish, it's a plural, starts with vowels....

10:13 pm

mich_pdx

clowns have always creeped me out

10:13 pm

Jacula

mich - I could also disagree with my own research and book. My first full-time cat (there had been many part-timers over the years before her) had been abandoned at least twice in her life. She gets worried when she gets too much 'fuss' but also follows me around, or comes to find me if I am gone 'too long', and she hates it and frets if I go away on holiday. I'm due to go to Crete for a fortnight soon, the longest I will have left either her or my 'kids' (22 and 19). I hope she and they will be okay. The cat, I think, is terrified of being abandoned again. The 'kids' will cope! LOL.

10:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

where are your frozen confections, ladies?

10:15 pm

Jacula

Temple - it's clowns theme day here in UK and I HATE clowns and so have gone for this icon. Click on my profile to read it.

10:15 pm

temple, I just changed so I could go to bed a little early tonight and be ready for tomorrow -- I keep my icons on home computer, but I start playing work computer, so I have to switch the night before

10:15 pm

10:15 pm

10:18 pm

mich_pdx

10:18 pm

LeslieAnn

what if we say pretty please?

10:18 pm

Jacula

nrkii - could be problematic. I once sent a card to a friend re sperm in the throat asking each other , 'How far to the womb?' to a friend who DID find it funny. Unfortunately, her hubby was VERY offended by it!

10:19 pm

mich_pdx

I'm leaving my chair..... let's say the clown just left to return later.... Oh Jac! too funny!

10:19 pm

nrkii

yes, I could see how you might get mixed response on that one ROFL

10:19 pm

Jacula

mich - can't tell you as want to keep this site just for me and Babble.

10:19 pm

Jacula

nrkii - I reckon the hubby was miffed. LOL.

10:19 pm

mich_pdx

that's okay, Jac. I completely understand wanting to maintain some anomynity

10:20 pm

nrkii

hmmm, well as I am not fond of clowns... I could always put up my image to meditate on early...

10:25 pm

LeslieAnn, some of my best thinking...

10:28 pm

nrkii

Jacula, probably true -- hadn't thought of that

10:28 pm

Jacula

I tend to read on the loo, or listen to the birds singing or something. I THINK when I'm supposed to be sleeping.

10:29 pm

mich_pdx

there's the pun aspect too.... is it an image upon which one mediates, or the image of an object that one is on while mediating? Very Tao

10:29 pm

that's the first ta, change last vowel for the other one

10:44 pm

Jacula

I tried Lickety's list from the start on the small grid a couple of days ago. Since I'm used to doing things the old way, no lists etc., I found it made it harder and slower for me. But that's just me. I prefer to think on my heels, I guess.

10:44 pm

LeslieAnn

you ate bugs?? :)

10:44 pm

mich_pdx

didn't realize she's been hurting herself (((((hugs))))))

10:45 pm

LeslieAnn

cehess, good point. i got one on my back, cause i figured if i got tired of it, i didn't have to see it

10:45 pm

Jacula

Does the back tat hurt a lot? Things near the bone tend to! It must be done in 4 -6 sessions, surely?

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the ap 5/20 word please

10:46 pm

I'll probably spend more on hair dye than that in 20 years Leslie! ^^

GreyWoulf

Hi again folks -- sorry to disappear before, but I got pulled away

10:47 pm

cehess

It hurt on the spine and the shoulder blades, but not enough to bring tears or anything. But then everyone is different. She won't want to be in a hurry though, because making a tat artist go over a spot that already raw increases the pain a lot.

10:47 pm

Jacula

LOL, mymuse.

10:47 pm
