12:12 am

evanonut

she move about her house, dodging furry creatures in the dark as she tried to get ready for work...

12:13 am

evanonut

and scuttled out the door, purse barely keeping up with her and piping hot pop tart in hand.

12:14 am

renfield

and cheetos?

12:14 am

evanonut

hopping in her car, she turned the engine over and backed out her driveway - but the minute she entered the road - the world tilted on its axis.

12:14 am

12:15 am

helenkeller

12:15 am

evanonut

suddenly she and the car were falling, falling, falling - into a world that could only be describe as cheetoland

12:15 am

jillibus

1 A tost! (click icon)

12:15 am

jillibus

*toast

12:15 am

evanonut

looking to her left she saw was suspicously looked like chester the cheeto approaching her car.

12:16 am

helenkeller

yep - corwin should show up any minute now

12:16 am

renfield

does he get in the car?

12:16 am

helenkeller

12:16 am

evanonut

err - i'm getting stuck

12:17 am

evanonut

he, uh, taps his claw on the window for ren, i mean the cfo to open the window

12:17 am

renfield

ket me get my diet coke...i think i say it diat cuke

12:18 am

helenkeller

12:18 am

renfield

cheetos?

12:18 am

evanonut

crushed cheetos

12:18 am

jillibus

ren you've been drinking too much of my pop

12:18 am

evanonut

the trees had dangling cheetos swaying in the cheesy breeze

12:19 am

renfield

right jill!

12:19 am

helenkeller

and off on the horizon was a glistening lake of ....

12:20 am

renfield

cheetos?

12:21 am

evanonut

mushy cheetos

12:21 am

helenkeller

it looked refreshing, so thelma & louise, no, i mean the cfo

12:21 am

12:22 am

mymuseisme

hi debb!

12:22 am

debbinla

12:22 am

evanonut

12:23 am

debbinla

aaah ! she sure does but we love stories anyway

12:23 am

brandyjack

too heck with the story, i went to the pantry and got the cheetohs and pepsi.... no fantasizing for me.

12:23 am

evanonut

anyway ren, i mean the cfo, put the peddle to the metal and swung it up alongside the cheeto lake

12:23 am

jillibus

not stid - nut

12:23 am

helenkeller

i haven't read much of stid's stuff - but i think this one was definitely tastier!

12:23 am

12:24 am

Nef

me too BJ; only I got a diet Dr. Pepper

12:24 am

evanonut

drinking deeply from the lake, ren, er cfo decided that she didn't like mushy cheetos, so she headed for the tree instead to pick some fresh ones

12:25 am

jillibus

sorry, dahlings, the champers isn't quite chilled

12:25 am

evanonut

but was stopped by an irate chester cheetah!

12:25 am

helenkeller

i like pepsi!

12:26 am

evanonut

he was mad at her because she ran over some of his cheeto flowers

12:27 am

renfield

does she love chester?

12:27 am

evanonut

yes, mez, i mean chester forgives her when he looks upon her shining cfo face

12:28 am

Byzantine

running over flowers is sure to change the very substance of reality as we know it

12:28 am

jillibus

did he ever cheet on her?

12:28 am

renfield

and they drink a diet coke?

12:28 am

evanonut

they embrace and live happily ever after skipping hand in hand through the fields of cheetos

12:28 am

renfield

lol jill!

12:29 am

evanonut

--- the end ---

12:29 am

4:25 am

Haz1558

The best advice I can give is to look for four letter words that you know. The idea of the game is to find words - you're defeating the purpose if you try to rely too much on clues.

4:25 am

TY - a 'perfect' clue

6:58 am

it is, lynxxx! Much better, to my mind, than the clues that spell it out. Especially when there are hours and hours left for this grid!

given the speed I'm going, I might need hours and hours.

I took Russian in college. The second year TA was from Moscow, very driven. It appalled her that on one exam, I did not use all of the vocabulary words in an individual sentence but wrote a story and, to her chagrin, the words that did not fit, maybe 2 or 3, I just left out!

10:12 am

hurshy

your butt is your pos******, you have similar thing in your brain lobes, an8 is the opposite

10:12 am

bean66

please dont make me think that hard

10:13 am

hurshy

ok, another word for inside, but change the first vowel. it's kind of a thinking word, i dunno...

10:13 am

bean66

lol

10:13 am

Haz1558

The Queen wouldn't say 'butt' either.

10:13 am

sherb

I was bothered by fleas once... I'd moved into a new flat and I found my legs getting bitten... couldn't work out what it was, until I found out the people before me had a cat... which had kindly left some of its fleas behind...

10:13 am

ypsigirl

LOL Haz!

10:14 am

hurshy

the queen hopefully wouldn't say a lot of words that show up in the grid...

10:14 am

FMitch

You're right Haz, she would say "one's butt"

10:14 am

Aloyisius

egads, sherb... that's why I'm battling fleas now.. my cats brought them in.. ugh

10:14 am

bean66

whose the queen?

10:14 am

bean66

whose the queen?

10:15 am

hurshy

i suppose she belongs to all the people of the UK

10:15 am

Haz1558

The Queen to whom we refer is Queen Elizabeth II

10:15 am

sherb

please... she's the Queen, not just any old queen...

10:15 am

hurshy

but it is an interesting philosophical question. perhaps all anglophiles should be included?

10:15 am

bean66

omg!!!!!!!! duh!!!!!

10:16 am

Haz1558

She's also the head of state in commonwealth countries.

10:16 am

sherb

sounds reasonable to me, hurshy...

10:16 am

bean66

lol....i thought there was a queen in babble!!!!

10:16 am

bean66

ROFLMAO

10:16 am

hurshy

are commonwealth countries not included in the term "UK"? i was hoping it was an all-inclusive thing.

10:17 am

hurshy

i suppose sprite would be the queen of babble...

10:17 am

sherb

easy mistake to make, bean... we're loyal to Dr G...

10:17 am

bean66

I STILL DIDN'T GET AN8,40

10:17 am

Haz1558

No, the United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The commonwealth countries are what's left of the British Empire as was.

10:18 am

bean66

oops...didn't mean to yell

10:18 am

hurshy

so is there a word for that? do i just say, "the former British Empire"? but then that sounds like England is gone too?

10:18 am

Haz1558

No, the Commonwealth covers it nicely.

10:19 am

hurshy

ok...only it's confusing for americans because some states are commonwealths, ie the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

10:19 am

bean66

nm...got it

10:19 am

FMitch

In which case I wish I had put a bet on hurshy

11:48 am

Haz1558

I was amazed as well, FMitch!

11:48 am

hurshy

(i just wanted to sound spockish so i made a number up, i don't know if the odds are actually calculable since you choosing that icon involves human brain activity which is unpredictable)

11:50 am

FMitch

Urgh I have r's d's and t's left

11:50 am

hurshy

i have all the t's and all but one r...

11:50 am

sherb

I think the odds must be quite small... I've only been playing a year, and that word has come up several times... in fact, I'd never heard it before Babble...

11:50 am

Haz1558

No, Madagascan hedgehogs aren't too plentiful around here.

11:51 am

Aloyisius

I love thAt word... never knew it before babble..

11:54 am

FMitch

11:55 am

FMitch

My 1 year is on Tuesday

11:55 am

sherb

your profile says yours is on Wednesday, Haz... did you read about it in the Mail on Sunday?

11:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, I did. So I have to wait until Wednesday?

11:57 am

sherb

maybe you didn't check it out straightaway...

11:57 am

Nef

Hi everybody. I wonder why urped (or erped) isn't a word?

11:58 am

FMitch

Nah, lets declare next week at Brits anniversary week

11:58 am

Haz1558

I can't remember the sequence of events. I know I used to have a life.

11:58 am

FMitch

11:59 am

Sherylr1961

afternoon all, I am totally stuck on the pr 7/32 any clues would be appreciated

11:59 am

hurshy

before the looting burning chaos, sheryl

11:59 am

FMitch

Haz there was a time before babble??

12:00 pm

sherb

my broadband connection certainly started paying its way after I discovered Babble...

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Apparently. But it wasn't very enjoyable.

12:01 pm

hurshy

doc should also have a graph showing the numbers of babblers registered over time, that would be interesting.

12:01 pm

Sherylr1961

gray matter isn't picking up on that clue hurshy can you expand

12:02 pm

Haz1558

There was one dreadful day when the site was mentioned on another website and we really WERE invaded. That was scary!

12:02 pm

hurshy

a mob of people looting and burning and causing chaos is an r4, you want before that happens

12:02 pm

FMitch

Very true hurshy, the Brit invasion then the next one after that was when something was posted on msn

12:02 pm

Aloyisius

sheryl: ri4/4 is the word that will help, I think

12:02 pm

Sherylr1961

ah got it

12:03 pm

Haz1558

People fled to BabAnon to vent their spleen!

12:04 pm

mamabear

12:04 pm

hurshy

te9 starts soundling like paint remover then ends with the same thing a lot of the long 'uns end with today

12:05 pm

FMitch

LOL Nef - it took me about 3 weeks before I decided I was hooked and went pro

12:05 pm

hurshy

pt9 starts like flying dinosaur, then you, then eat

12:05 pm

FMitch

12:05 pm

Aloyisius

12:06 pm

sherb

I was hooked straightaway... but it was five days before I finished a grid... I didn't know about things like a2zwordfinder...

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Accept the implausible, hurshy

12:06 pm

FMitch

Good luck Aloy :)

12:06 pm

hurshy

aloyisius, perhaps i can inspire you with my song (to the tune of the US Marine Corps song) about when my cats had ringworm

12:06 pm

Nef

FMitch, I don't remember visiting this site last year! Or last winter either!

12:07 pm

sherb

bye Aloyisius, and good luck with the fleas... I only got rid of mine after LOTS of spraying with some very noxious stuff :(

12:07 pm

Aloyisius

ugh, hurshy... sing away..

12:07 pm

mamabear

pt clue was great - thanks

12:07 pm

Takuma Sato

12:10 pm

mamabear

12:10 pm

hurshy

12:44 pm

Dorens

12:44 pm

Dorens

Dorens

12:45 pm

nrkii

12:45 pm

Dorens

simple explanation

12:45 pm

hurshy

no vi, it is not :)

12:46 pm

Vicuna

I always think of Unexoise (I can't even spell it) as "uneasy."

12:46 pm

mamabear

sorry - I have the pe 8, re 8 and an 8

12:46 pm

hurshy

lol

12:46 pm

Dorens

12:47 pm

hurshy

in8, never wrong

12:47 pm

hurshy

sounds plausible dorens

12:47 pm

Dorens

i am spending too much time trying to find the first in 4/4 and i know i should be able to but give up...clue please?

12:47 pm

Vicuna

Yes, that is what it is. But I still read it "uneasy" in my head. Luckily I am not called upon to pronounce it in real life.

12:47 pm

mamabear

thanks hurshy!

12:48 pm

12:50 pm

evanonut

hullo owl

12:50 pm

Dorens

i almost always put it in everytime i see the letters ANYWHERE in the grid

12:50 pm

Dorens

hi TO

12:51 pm

hurshy

vi - just remember, if you are good at bluffing, you can play poker in a volcano and still keep your poker face

12:51 pm

Vicuna

Why, because I'll fail to notice the volcano, like I always do in Babble?

12:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi nut!

12:52 pm

hurshy

lol, no vi, it's just a mnemonic device...because the volcano is the poker word backwards, so if you get one, you can think to get the other

12:52 pm

Vicuna

I AM good at bluffing -- see, bet you can't tell what I'm thinking!

12:52 pm

Vicuna

Oh yes, good point.

12:52 pm

hurshy

you're thinking i'm insane

12:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

*reminds self never to play poker with vi*

12:53 pm

Vicuna

Wrong! I'm thinking what a total id5/12 I am, because I had the poker word, and not the volcano.

12:53 pm

hurshy

BUT you hadn't heard my trick yet, so there you go.

12:54 pm

bonkler

12:54 pm

hurshy

oh. ok then, you are an id5 :)

12:54 pm

Vicuna

Don't worry, TO, you're safe. I get way too bored with poker to play.

12:54 pm

seano216k

hurshy

12:56 pm

Dorens

thanks hurshy

12:56 pm

Vicuna

Well, lucky I'm so good at bluffing, so you can't see that inside I'm crying, "Boo hoo, hurshy thinks I'm an id5."

12:56 pm

hurshy

12:56 pm

Dorens

1:47 pm

hetty

Vicuna,
"oinquers" is not in the grid

1:47 pm

Vicuna

People who spend all their time Babbling don't get rich!

1:47 pm

Vicuna

No, hetty, but the singular is.

1:48 pm

hetty

Agreed

1:48 pm

Vicuna

Anyway, it's just that all words with Q in them are intrinsically funny.

1:48 pm

hetty

Stuggling with the dreaded re's. Help anyone?

1:48 pm

FMitch

Fraid not Haz, have to rely on ourselves

1:49 pm

nrkii

meanwhile, nrkii, who is only half listening, tries to type oinquer into the add-word box

1:49 pm

hetty

yes, Vi,especally when there's a"u" right next to the"qu"

1:49 pm

Haz1558

hetty - what do you need?

Oh, that would have been nice, nrk.

1:50 pm

chj

brandy..wink is the best..its not a diet drink like fresca..its grapefruit flavor

1:51 pm

FMitch

Hey BJ thanks for keeping the list going

1:51 pm

hetty

Yes, nrkii, I'm oissing the third ,fourth, fifth, and sixth re6's and re8

1:51 pm

nrkii

express apologies?

1:51 pm

nrkii

re 5/14 = to tell again, perhaps only with the highlights (or to put a hat on again)

1:52 pm

hetty

That's Missing, I'm not a french pig

1:52 pm

nrkii

re 6/24 = with a bad antenna, your tv will get bad re****ion

1:52 pm

brandyjack

I know, haven't seen it forever, kept getting fooled by the look of the fresca, although it's not green enough..... Now that I know what I'm looking for, frustration is likely to set in permanently......

1:52 pm

Haz1558

re6/24 - looks like what you get as evidence of payment but lacking i.

1:52 pm

nrkii

ooh, non-diet grapefruit soda sounds gooooood

1:53 pm

chj

lets open a wink disributership here in the northeast

1:53 pm

hetty

2:00 pm

3:10 pm

stidmama

go sean go!

3:10 pm

Vicuna

te7/28 - like a misspelled receptacle for soup

3:11 pm

debbinla

thank you vic!

3:11 pm

caitlyn

LOL spiralox

3:11 pm

stidmama

that's like something to grind grains in... like the regal word, but change the fourth letter to a consonant

3:11 pm

Vicuna

qu5/16 - hand mill, rhymes with the ea for getting a paycheck

3:11 pm

seano216k

thanks vic..nice clue

3:12 pm

renfield

thanks vi!

3:13 pm

stidmama

great clues (as usual) Vi, thanks.

3:13 pm

seano216k

so sure i MUST have monkeyed that before vic....nice clue tho'

3:13 pm

Vicuna

Can anyone please give me a clue for the te5/12 and te5/10 immediately following the te6/21. I'm assuming htey're related? But maybe that's part of my problem?

3:13 pm

stidmama

CE 6/24 please? It's the last C I need...

3:14 pm

Vicuna

ce6/24 - night-blooming plant, sounds like "You can't be se------!"

3:14 pm

seano216k

sounds like john macenroe...you cannot be ce 5/24

3:14 pm

gwenski

te5/12: indian dwelling

3:15 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, gwenski. I looked at that a hundred times and thought it had to have 4 e's. Serves me right for assuming ANYTHING where enable's involved!

3:15 pm

stidmama

thanks for the CE, done with that letter now! :-)

3:16 pm

hetty

Vi, they are NOT related. The first is an Indian tent and the second is withoit defn--looks like latin for eareth minus one of the t's

3:16 pm

hetty

siorry-0that should have beeen on eof the "r's!

3:16 pm

Vicuna

Thanks, hetty!

3:17 pm

dromano66

please could anyone help with thept

3:17 pm

dromano66

pt9

3:17 pm

hetty

I'll try again Vi.For te5/10 take latin for "earth", take away on eof the hoo0ks, and add a third vowel

3:19 pm

gwenski

from an earlier clue: p + Miss Hatcher + to eat

3:19 pm

Vicuna

pt9 - starts like prehistoric flying reptile, ends like the io6/21 chemical

3:19 pm

stidmama

pt 9 looks prehistoric...start with a type of flying reptile (5 letters), change the o to another vowel and end with the four letter word meaning "to eat"

3:19 pm

hetty

Th pt is a real dilly,add a wor beginning with the second vowel that looks as if it has something to do wth being learned, except a third vowel reolaces the fifth one and it ends in a hook instead of a cross before the final second vowel

3:20 pm

stidmama

hetty, following that clue I think I just did a fancy ritual that absolves me of my sins... LOL

3:21 pm

caitlyn

lol stid

3:21 pm

hetty

Stiud has an excelent clue. I couodn't think what the prehistoric crteature was

3:21 pm

Vicuna

All those hooks and crosses will do it, eh, stidmama!

3:21 pm

caitlyn

crteature???LOL

3:21 pm

hetty

as long as the ritual was prehistoric, Stid

3:21 pm

dromano66

i am lost....sorry

3:21 pm

stidmama

DI 6/21 please?

3:22 pm

stidmama

it's okay droman... we're all a bit scattered today, it seems!

3:22 pm

Vicuna

di6/21 - Spanish money

3:22 pm

hetty

di6/21 simply adds a third vowel to one who eats

3:22 pm

caitlyn

Add a vwel to di5/12

3:22 pm

lynxxx

Its money stid. Good mornig everyone.

3:23 pm

stid just likes to entertain us...is that right stidmama? i don't really think she's lookin to worry about copyright...although...perhaps...her stuff is good enough it could easily be embellished/slightly changed and not be considered stolen.
