Some good things to come out of Canada: Martin Broduer, Hockey, Martin Brodeur, Martin Brodeur, Quebec, Martin Brodeur, and...hmm...I think I'm forgetting something.

Oh, that's right, Martin Brodeur.

12:09 am

MayneGuy

Wayne Gretzky, Steve Nash, Mike Weir, Larry Walker

12:09 am

helenkeller

12:09 am

leighprefect

12:09 am

helenkeller

m def with you on the hockey thing, but, dare i ask, who is martin b ?

12:09 am

jillibus

well, lots of other things, Leigh. I'm not a hockey fan.

12:10 am

leighprefect

hk- Only the hottest and bestest (in this day and age) goaltender ever to cross the border!

12:10 am

MayneGuy

Tim Hortons donuts (originally)

12:10 am

leighprefect

Jill- Oh, I know. There's billions of wonderful things to come from Canada. But my baby Brodeur is number one.

12:11 am

jillibus

I have a dumb tech question to ask. How do you manage to go to a new line of text here without hitting Enter?

12:11 am

leighprefect

shift + enter

12:11 am

mymuseisme

shift + enter
to type on the second line

12:11 am

helenkeller

hockey is not the same with bobby hull, stan mikita, tony esposito, keith magnuson - wait those were all BLACKHAWKS !!!! :)

12:11 am

jillibus

Ah, thanks!
Now I know.

12:11 am

helenkeller

*withOUT*

12:12 am

Byzantine

is hockey the sport that is played with brooms and a rock?

12:12 am

MayneGuy

I have to concentrate now - otherwise the list of GREAT hockey players to come out of Canada - would take the whole log!

12:12 am

hurshy

been here since flip but not looking at chat, is everyone aware the 8 is tr?

12:13 am

leighprefect

Oh, hockey, how I missed thee in your absence...and I cannot wait until October, when I can pay my respects to thee at the Devils' home opener.

12:13 am

helenkeller

well, yes mayne - that would be about all of them

12:13 am

jillibus

Some great baseball players too, amny of whom started with the Montreal Expos, may they RIP in DC

12:14 am

MayneGuy

The DEVILS? The kings of clutch and grab?

12:14 am

jillibus

Hi hurshy -- no, unaware but thanks fot the tip!

12:15 am

jillibus

Hockey was ruined for me with the advent of the thugs and Don Cherry

12:16 am

melonheadjujube

hi! i'm too late for da flip.

12:16 am

leighprefect

MG- I'm not about to get all nasty in the chat. So I will not remind you of the last time Canada brought back the cup.

12:17 am

helenkeller

hi melon - never too late for flipping :)

12:17 am

leighprefect

*cough, smile* I'm not mean like that.

12:17 am

MayneGuy

Ooooh - points for you, Leigh!

12:17 am

pdb

hi canadians and assorted others!

12:17 am

MayneGuy

I'll think of a great comeback tonite about 4:00 am and then forget by morning!

12:18 am

jillibus

hi pdb!

12:18 am

MayneGuy

Hi pdb

12:18 am

davurs

Hi pdb!

12:19 am

lynxxx

ah - di6.24 skirts - theres a flashback. hello everyone.

12:19 am

leighprefect

MG- Though I will bow down, and remember the olympics (which Canada has won at plenty of times). And I have nothing but the greatest respect for Canada. Without you, I would not have Brodeur. =)

12:19 am

jillibus

Come on, gang, let's find that tr8 hurshy taunted us with!

12:19 am

leighprefect

And if you do get a comeback, put it in the chat and I'll look through the logs later to find it and be stung.

12:20 am

leighprefect

Jill- I found it a little while ago. Have fun!

12:20 am

MayneGuy

I got 2 tr 7's - english desserts and desserted (??)

12:21 am

jillibus

lynxxx - I got the skirt, thanks!

12:21 am

pdb

past tense desserts

12:21 am

pdb

oh duh, mayne, that's what you typed.

12:21 am

MayneGuy

I have to admit, Leigh, that I have been more than a little frustrated with the Canucks - so much talent - so little effort! I am prob a little jealous of the Devils

12:22 am

MayneGuy

Well pdb - it's late where you are!

12:22 am

jillibus

hooray for the tr's! wtg, mayne!

12:22 am

JeeWhiz

so far, I have four tr7s.

12:22 am

pdb

got the 8. no clue what it means...

12:23 am

MayneGuy

Still haven't the tr 8 - tho another tr 7 - three of creases

12:23 am

MayneGuy

How bout a clue pdb?

12:24 am

leighprefect

There was nothing to be jealous of in the playoffs while playing Carolina. It hurt me right here. *points to chest where something resembling a heart should be* We had our ups and downs this season, but Lou Lamoriello coaching for a huge chunk of it was probably the most interesting part. I thought he was a better coach than GM. He trades away all the good people, and then brings them back when they aren't so good anymore and disgraces them by sending them to play in the AHL (I don't care about salary caps...bad excuse for humiliating one of the best players in years!)

12:24 am

pdb

it's a plural. rhymes with a di 736

12:24 am

joey

i have a clue - think of a bed - tr, that fits underneath another bed. change the third letter which is a u to the third vowel and then plural it.

12:25 am

jillibus

well, that would be nice if I knew the di 7/36. Dumb me

12:25 am

pdb

nice, joey. was still trying to think of one.

12:25 am

joey

thanks

12:25 am

MayneGuy

Great clue, joey - thx!

12:26 am

MayneGuy

Ditto, jilli

12:26 am

joey

yvw,glad to help

12:26 am

jillibus

Yes, great clue, joey, thanks

12:27 am

MayneGuy

Leigh - you really are a fan! We've just fired our coach, at last - but our GM seems to lack pizazz and the smarts re players - I think - tho my son disagrees with me vehemently.

12:27 am

jillibus

and the dictionary doesn't know what it means

12:28 am

Flask1

well that clue didn't help me at all!

12:29 am

MayneGuy

Well actually they both rhyme with what Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on. I think it was SB

12:30 am

leighprefect

Our GM has picked up a new coach finally. Looking forward to seeing how this affects the Devils. I am a fan...the arena is only fifteen minutes away (for now, though that could sadly change) and I am more passionate about it than my boyfriend. Actually, my store manager where I work played for the Devils' AHL team and was being eyed up by the Devils before he was injured. He's still got his jersey and everything.

2:50 am

FMitch

Hi rolin, you're right it is hard today

2:50 am

lynxxx

but not as bad as yesterday - hello FM

2:50 am

spanner

If you guys think its hard - maybe I ought to give up right now.........!

2:50 am

rolin

did you get your shopping done lynxx?

2:51 am

rolin

lol..spannr...nah...

2:52 am

FMitch

Hey Lynxx on a par with yesterday's I would say

Spanner you just keep going and enjoying

2:53 am

spanner

Ive "gone" for 19 words and its taken 20 minutes...........!

2:55 am

FMitch

so you have the methodical approach :)

2:56 am

rolin

spanner i find screaming in utter frustration helps as well...

2:56 am

spanner

No I have the "put in all the short words that you know in, build on them, then just put anything in and pray its a real word" approach!

2:57 am

SueMagee

That's the methodical approach, spanner!

2:58 am

spanner

You mean your all nutters as well?

2:58 am

SueMagee

Why do you think we're here?

3:00 am

spanner

I thought (by how many times Ive seen the words "Ive finished" ) that you were all genius and simply flexing your brains for a bit of light relief! I mean some of these words aren't REALLY words, are they.....? :)

3:01 am

FMitch

I can't do a grid without help but it's the fun of the game and the log that brings me back

3:02 am

SueMagee

Some of the words are very odd! Do you know about Lickety's list? If not, follow the link from the bottom L/H side and that will tell you where all the words are. I'd never finish without it.

3:02 am

scv

ooh i was so excited about starting and im being kicked off now

3:35 am

Haz1558

Lickety's list gives you the second letters and points values of the words to be looked for. When you find them, fill them in to his add words section and it automatically places them in the right order of the list. You still have to find the words yourself.

3:42 am

tazpink

o ty haz

3:43 am

Haz1558

Hope you enjoy using it!

3:44 am

tazpink

yes ty lol thoughtm it would just give me some of these odd words lol

3:45 am

Haz1558

It can help sometimes by showing you points value - do the sums and you can often make a stab at the word. You may also wish to use some of the online dictionaries.

3:46 am

tazpink

another good idea ty

3:48 am

lynxxx

I personally like the way the L list is in alphabetical order so you can word out the logical next letter/s - BJs list doesn't always seem to work that way although I have not used that a lot

3:51 am

tazpink

have not looked at bj s yet

3:52 am

Babbler

BJ's list is in alphabetical order too. He does different variations so we can pick and choose how much info we want.

Jacula

Amandacath - 187 words in total today.

5:15 am

FranMag

cool, i found one of those new words i think haz was talking about...sounds like a chicken that enjoys slasher movies.

5:16 am

Jacula

FranMag - I've found 118 words so far but I don't think that's one of them! Ooh, I shall enjoy looking for that.... 'Here chookie, chookie...'

5:21 am

amandacath

found the chicken one - you learn something new every day...

5:21 am

Haz1558

What a good description of the word, FranMag! I'm off to do some housework and walk the dog. Enjoy the hunt for the bloodthirsty bird.....

5:21 am

FranMag

thanks haz! see you later!

5:21 am

Jacula

I think it must be hiding under the coop! I'll try scattering some corn to lure it out...

5:23 am

Jacula

'Bye Haz.

5:25 am

Jacula

FranMag - I haven't found the bloodthirsty chicken yet but I think your clue should go down in history as one of the best Babble clues ever!:-)

5:25 am

5:27 am

Jacula

FranMag - Yes, I was! Watched ED 2 again only the other night. I love the scene where the screaming woman swallows the flying eyeball.

5:28 am

FranMag

5:29 am

ExWren

Fran, you actually went on that ride TWICE? I would be sick just to look at it

5:30 am

Jacula

Hi ExWren. Ditto, re the ride.

5:30 am

FranMag

exwren, actually made two trips there, rode it 3 times altogether.

5:32 am

ExWren

Hi Jac, have you been on the London Eye yet? Although I have no head for heights, I plucked up the courage, and it was OK. You don't actually know you are moving!

5:33 am

ExWren

As for you Fran, you must be mad!

5:34 am

rolin

does anyone have the mo5/18?

5:34 am

Jacula

ExWren - I haven't been to London since the Eye went up. I might have a go on it if and when I go again.

5:34 am

FranMag

maybe exwren, but i told myself i had to at least try since i was always scared to try new things when i was a child.

5:35 am

ExWren

Take my tip Jac, book your ticket in advance

5:35 am

Jacula

rolin - I have an mo5/18 that is a kind of badge or insignia or a repeated pattern. (Often used in embroidery.)

5:43 am

rolin

5:50 am

Jacula

Oh dear! My son just came in here and managed to bash his elbow on the chest-of-drawers. 'You shouldn't have sharp corners around children!' he said. 'You're 22!' I replied. :)

6:24 am

FranMag

here's the def: a plant of the genus Kniphofia having long grasslike leaves and tall scapes of red or yellow drooping flowers

6:25 am

FranMag

amanda, it sounds like part of a three pronged red fruit that is also in the grid.

6:25 am

amandacath

not being a botanist....

6:27 am

FranMag

or, prefix for 3 + first part of the red fruit/vegetable.

6:27 am

amandacath

got it! Thx fran

6:29 am

FranMag

yw amanda! scary part is there are babblers that would have gotten that word from the definition!!

6:30 am

amandacath

maybe it's a common garden flower? My garden knowledge is fairly limited too

6:30 am

amandacath
