BigFootedMonster

Hi all. Here is my clue icon, since I can't think of anything else.

12:47 am

12:47 am

Schroeder

Didn't you just have a cold spell not to long ago Ornith?

12:47 am

BigFootedMonster

debb, you sound like you live near me. I'm in Southern California.

12:47 am

Ornith

12:51 am

12:51 am

mkl

I can share Helen

12:51 am

Ornith

12:51 am

helenkeller

mkl - well, maybe YOU can, lol, brb

12:52 am

FranMag

there's an alt spelling too if you don't have it already ornith.

12:52 am

Schroeder

It is fun. I love to hear the kids get so excited about it......well and the adults I'm taking are pretty excited also.

12:52 am

BigFootedMonster

I think we're going to D-land after Christmas, but while the decorations are still up. My husband has never seen it decorated for Christmas before, and the kids will get a kick out of it.

12:52 am

Ornith

of which one, fran?

12:52 am

FranMag

brb

12:53 am

Schroeder

It's always nice to see the Christmas decorations...I always want to swipe a wreath and bring it home...lol

12:54 am

BigFootedMonster

If you get a chance, you should see the Mission Inn in Riverside. It is absolutely breathtaking

12:54 am

metaleather

changing icons, brb

12:54 am

Ornith

mkl, what word are those little chicks? I'm sure it's something obvious, but I'm not seeing it

12:54 am

BigFootedMonster

ml, I think Fran is changing hers, too. lol

12:54 am

FranMag

okay, i changed my icon

12:55 am

FranMag

oops, ml better not come back with something similar!

12:55 am

DRBERNABO

Quick, everybody change to their icon before they come back

12:55 am

Schroeder

I've never been there...I'll see if I can squeeze in a trip to see it.

12:55 am

BigFootedMonster

Thanks, Fran.

12:55 am

FranMag

ornith, alt spelling of your icon and comparative of it too. you probably have it already.

12:56 am

Ornith

ooh, there's a good word. tu4/6 present tense of "an old black ram is tu**ing your white ewe" (quoting shakespeare, ain't I fancy?)

12:56 am

BigFootedMonster

Google it. It is really worth the trip.

12:56 am

mkl

Actually, the chicks don't mean a thing. I always have chickens of some sort up there.

12:56 am

Ornith

thanks fran, was missing the alternate spelling

12:56 am

Ornith

I kept looking for "pullet" mkl!

12:56 am

BigFootedMonster

Ooh, thanks Fran!

helenkeller

1:07 am

MVA

i've got tea ready!

1:08 am

cybernan

Had a disaster in computerland this morning -- had my family newsletter all ready to post and inadvertantly lost the html file, so had to start all over from the beginning. As this was a file with frames, tons of links and lots of tables, this was a major undertaking!!! -- didn't get back to finish yesterday's grid but am almost finished now -- about another 1/2 hours labour!!

1:08 am

debbinla

oy - how frustrating

1:08 am

Ornith

oh ew nan, were you doing it all by hand?

1:09 am

FranMag

i hate when stuff like that happens

1:09 am

flosey

oh nan, how frustrating

1:09 am

metaleather

bless your heart!

*offers shortbread cookies to go with the tea

1:09 am

helenkeller

oh nan - lycky for you, you have that photographic memory, right? :)

1:09 am

Schroeder

Oh nan that's is a lot of work..

1:09 am

cybernan

yes -- I write in html -- no program with templates.

1:10 am

cybernan

Don't I wish, Helen --- but I did still have all the e-mails from family members with their contributions.

1:10 am

cybernan

And I didn't lose the photo files

1:10 am

Ornith

I use dreamweaver and program by hand, so I can at least make templates for myself

1:11 am

Ankhorite

Hi, Nan! And Helen and MVA and Schroeder and gosh I hope I haven't missed anyone this time. How exhausting, Nan.

1:11 am

Ankhorite

*debates whether the group would be offended if she added a naughty hamster picture for word-in-grid*

1:12 am

cybernan

Thanks for the tea, shortbread and sympathetic comments --- my husband just said, "Oh!" -- but then he is not very computer literate.

2:05 am

smithchick

Except for mine...because I'm too lazy to change it.

2:05 am

Ankhorite

Chick, I still don't get it about using your kids for su* words.

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

smithchick

The expressions on their faces...they are preteen and teen...pouty little boogers.

a clue please for tu7?

3:36 am

Haz1558

Flask - if you have tu5/13 - item of clothing, sometimes associated with military, add two vowels, to give latin plural ending

3:37 am

Flask1

thankyou....and the second cr&...please?

3:37 am

Flask1

cr7.....sorry!

3:37 am

Bloodaxe

good morning babblers.

Crone

night all

3:37 am

EnemyisME

So, I have the second 8 (thanks, Haz) did anyone come up with the other 7 while I was looking?

3:37 am

Haz1558

The other cr 7 is structured as the embrodery yarn, but replace the middle consonant with another.

3:38 am

FMitch

Night Crone and Hi BA

3:38 am

EnemyisME

So, there are 2 cr 7's?

3:38 am

Crone

cr7/32 = cr7/48 change the centre consonant

3:38 am

Flask1

Sorry Haz....thats the one I have

3:39 am

Haz1558

cr7/48 is the abusive sounding embroidery yarns, cr7/32 is the other (replace the middle consonant)

3:39 am

FMitch

yes there are Enemy

3:39 am

Flask1

Got it !!!

3:39 am

Flask1

3:41 am

Bloodaxe

that's ok haz...first things first.
how are you this morning?

3:41 am

Haz1558

I'm fine thanks. The house is still in one piece after some storms last night, so that's always a bonus.

3:41 am

Bloodaxe

ooohhh...was there some bad weather?

3:42 am

Haz1558

Gales and storms - probably nothing by other's standards but pretty noisy!

3:42 am

EnemyisME

Thanks to all who helped me with the 7's and 8's

3:42 am

Bloodaxe

well it's good that everythings safe and sound.

You're welcome Enemy.

3:44 am

Haz1558

Did you finish the grid yesterday, Bloodaxe, or did study interfere again?

3:45 am

Bloodaxe

yea...that pesky educations got in the way. i called it quits with about 35 words left, but i had a quiz this morning, so i needed the sleep.

3:45 am

Bloodaxe

i love the BIG grids, but they make school so much more difficult.

3:46 am

Haz1558

The big grids are fun, especially in the beginning when the words are flowing, but getting them completed does take time. Unless you're a speed merchant, which I'm not.

3:46 am

Bloodaxe

did you finish yesterday's grid?

3:47 am

Haz1558

I did it eventually. I had to take a break to let a migraine pass and then got it done later.

3:48 am

metaleather

3:48 am

Bloodaxe

ewww...migraines. those can make the grids hard.

Bloodaxe

3:48 am

metaleather

it is indeed

3:48 am

CairoCarol

so how many words WERE there yesterday?

3:49 am

Haz1558

I only take a migraine very occasionally and can usually nip them in the bud. Babble and nausea don't mix.

3:49 am

Bloodaxe

264-ish...i think.

3:49 am

Haz1558

Cairo - 280 or thereabouts.

3:50 am

Bloodaxe

3:51 am

Haz1558

9:55 am

inge

Hurshy, are you related to THE Spider

9:55 am

bunnyvicious

That's what I'm using, but I swear it wasn't there the first time I looked!

9:55 am

joey

i am down to 9, i need 3 e's, 3 w's and 4 s's. can someone point me to times of lists for those letters?

9:56 am

Atalante

9:56 am

inge

She posted it recently, like 40 minutes ago

9:56 am

Atalante

you see loads in the films!

9:56 am

hurshy

who's THE spider?

9:56 am

bunnyvicious

Joey, go in the Babanon link, then under general and you'll see the post with the list.

9:56 am

bunnyvicious

That explains it!

9:56 am

hurshy

all the jedi i can remember are male

9:57 am

chj

bunny just posted the w's about 15 minutes ago

9:57 am

inge

remember Charlotte???

9:57 am

hurshy

maybe just cause they're the ones i find attractive :)

9:57 am

bunnyvicious

I saw female Jedi's in the newer films.

9:57 am

hurshy

charlotte with the web, yes

9:57 am

Atalante

well you're not paying attention enough! go and watch them again!

9:57 am

hurshy

ok but AFTER babble

9:58 am

bunnyvicious

erica

9:58 am

bunnyvicious

opesy, sorry :(

9:59 am

Atalante

you see Jocasta in the Library with Obi-Wan, and she's there again when Ani goes on his killing spree. There are female padawans there too. Then there's Shaak Ti and another Twi'lek or two in the fight scenes. And quite a few more

10:00 am

hurshy

i do recall the little girl padawans, yes... jocasta! unfortunate name choice.

10:00 am

Angelsong

clue for the last ca5?

10:01 am

Atalante

why unfortunate?

10:01 am

bunnyvicious

ca 5/12 - c + what you breath + cons

10:01 am

hurshy

isn't jocasta the one who slept with her father?

10:01 am

Atalante

oh ... yes ...!

10:01 am

hurshy

she did something ic4, at any rate.

10:01 am

Plebian

angel

10:02 am

Atalante

she died saving the young ones in the temple in RotS. Ani killed her. Brat.

10:02 am

Plebian

angel ca5 is a heap of stones set up as a monument

10:02 am

hurshy

YOU'RE the one who likes him

10:02 am

bunnyvicious

Plebian, what's your icon say?

10:03 am

hurshy

harry potter coins should count :(

10:04 am

Atalante

he's a poor misunderstood boy ;)

10:04 am

hurshy

harry certainly is :)

10:04 am

Atalante

harry is a whiny brat at the moment

10:05 am

hurshy

no, he was a whiny brat in 5, he got better by the end of 6

10:05 am

Atalante

better, but still a whiny brat

10:06 am

hurshy

what do you think of the hypothesis that snape is still good, and killed dumbledore at dumbledore's wish, bc otherwise draco would have had to and that would have turned him to the dark side (to borrow a phrase...)

10:07 am

bunnyvicious

...sneaking in, I don't think Snape is bad, and I'm debating whether Dumbledore is actually dead?

10:07 am

smooth_pappa

good morning

10:07 am

Atalante

I agree with it, pretty much

10:07 am

hurshy

i thought he might not be dead when he first died but then i think rowling went out of her way to make sure we didn't keep thinking that.

10:07 am

bunnyvicious

Morning pappa

10:08 am

ren8

Morning Pappa

10:08 am

ren8

rick

10:08 am

ren8

sorry

10:09 am

hurshy

the one that really irked me was sirius's death. it was 100% because of harry's stupidity, and now harry's REALLY got nobody.

10:10 am

bunnyvicious

Do they have a preview for Order of the Phenoix movie?

10:10 am

hurshy

not sure

10:11 am

hurshy

puky and pukier should count.

10:11 am

Atalante

I think he's dead. Not entirely sure if Sirius is 100% dead, but he's at least physically dead

10:11 am

Atalante

and yes they do, bunny

10:12 am

hurshy

oh he's dead. they had that whole convo about why he wouldn't be a ghost, and why harry's parents weren't either...

10:12 am

bunnyvicious

Do you know where?!?!

10:12 am

Atalante

its on mytube, I know that much

10:12 am

JFB

I reckon they should as well hurshy and how on earth can ther be 14 Ks!!

10:13 am

hurshy

rowling isn't the type to pull a feel-good stunt where everyone's "not really dead"

10:13 am

K.Elisabet

Ooh, are discussing snape theories? Good morning!

10:14 am

Atalante

yeah, but we all thought rowling wasn't the sort to kill off charries randomly and write unbelievably crap novels ...

10:14 am

Bloodaxe

rowling's dead?!?!?!?!

10:14 am

hurshy

the s's p's and h's are worse than the k's

10:14 am

ypsigirl

good morning... is anyone else having issues with Lickety's page today?

10:14 am

hurshy

well yes but ata, there is a difference between failing to live up to expected quality and changing one's whole tone

10:14 am

bunnyvicious

Yup yps, it's not working today. Go to anon for a list.

10:14 am

JFB

Am I the only peson in the world who hasn't read or seen any Harry Potter? And has no wish to!!

10:14 am

smooth_pappa

yes, I am ypsi... I was just about to ask the same thing

10:14 am

ypsigirl

thx bunny

10:15 am

hurshy

what do we have in the way of funny letter combos? ps, pt, ts...?

10:15 am

K.Elisabet

JFB, if you don't mind my asking, why not read HP?

10:15 am

bunnyvicious

JFB, yup! I love HArry Potter, I just hate waiting years to see the next movie or read the next book. I'm not that patient.

10:15 am

bunnyvicious

hursh, 2 ph's?

10:16 am

hurshy

got the ph's

10:16 am

bunnyvicious

The rest are tu & pu.

10:16 am

JFB

Just so as I know!

10:16 am

ren8

I have yet to watch Goblet of Fire and I pre-ordered it, I just cannot find the time to watch it, I think my 3yr old might have something to do with it

10:16 am

hurshy

sigh.

10:16 am

hurshy

i mean that's good, but sigh anyway.

10:16 am

smooth_pappa

Ypsi... you guys getting snowed on over there?

10:17 am

Atalante

I read the books, now with a bit of reluctance. I loved the first 3 and was very unimpressed with the 4th and 5th. 6th was ok. But I haven;t seen any films past Chamber of Secrets

10:17 am

hurshy

the 4th was the best one! it was the 5th where it was disappointing

10:18 am

bunnyvicious

6 of those pu's all relate to one another (what you'd call a wild kid)

10:18 am

hurshy

6, really? i have 3 of those ones. cool.

10:19 am

hurshy

4 now...

10:19 am

hurshy

gosh i can't see what else to do with that

10:19 am

K.Elisabet

I think the fifth could have used some editing - e.g. I don't see the whole grawp storyline going anywhere useful for the plot or thematically.

10:19 am

bunnyvicious

Try adding a vowel to the shortest one, the add onto that with a cons, they are weird

10:20 am

hurshy

ah, ok. maybe those 2 aren't actually related...

10:21 am

hurshy

grawp may go somewhere - she's really been building up the whole giant thing for a while

10:21 am

stidmama

good happy Friday, all!

10:21 am

bunnyvicious

Sorry, meant letter wise. I should start looking at the defs!

10:21 am

bunnyvicious

Morning Stid!!

10:21 am

smooth_pappa

hi stid

10:22 am

Bloodaxe

hi stid!

10:22 am

tndaisy1960

{{{{Stid}}}}

10:22 am

hurshy

the 5th's troubles were mainly that harry should have known by THEN that he should TALK TO DUMBLEDORE, and that it was kind of repetitive and drawn out

10:22 am

K.Elisabet

There's a theory that the books reflect the seven tasks that the kids go through at the end of the first book - if you remember the fifth chamber is the one that had the knocked-out stinky troll, and the kids didn't have to do anything much themselves. Pretty well sums up book five, imo. :-)

10:22 am

stidmama

hi blood! what's that bright icon today? brb

10:22 am

stidmama

LOL blood -- now I have to find the word...

10:22 am

stidmama

hi daisy

10:22 am

Bloodaxe

it's a clue for pu4/10 and 4 other words build off it!

10:23 am

smooth_pappa

hi blood

10:23 am

Bloodaxe

make that 5 other words.

10:23 am

Bloodaxe

hi smooth.

10:23 am

hurshy

i gots sp8, what's the other 8?

10:23 am

stidmama

I got the pu 4/10, now working on everyting else! Only 153 to go!

10:24 am

stidmama

hey pappa!

10:24 am

K.Elisabet

Hurshy, you may be right about grawp, maybe she needed to have character who is a giant for something.

10:24 am

Bloodaxe

hurshy....su8.
more sad.

10:24 am

smooth_pappa

hi stid... :-D

10:24 am

hurshy

she has a LOT to accomplish to really redeem herself in book seven.

10:24 am

hurshy

ty blood

10:24 am

Atalante

its not often that the death of one character makes me like a series less, but I've really had little interest in the books after sirius's death

10:25 am

chj

hey smooth, is that a self portrait?

10:25 am

hurshy

yeah, i think that was a bad move. book 5 overall just... disappointing... but maybe somehow she'll make it make sense and seem worthwhile in the end

10:25 am

bunnyvicious

Done, I'm gonna run outside to smoke and come back to clue for a few.

10:26 am

Atalante

maybe she will ... and I wish I felt hopeful she will ...

10:26 am

smooth_pappa

lol chj don't I have wonderful legs? HA!

10:26 am

Bloodaxe

10:27 am

smooth_pappa

10:27 am

torgone

10:27 am

hurshy

10:30 am

hurshy

i got an email this morning where they apparently didn't have the field for my first name filled in in their database, because the subject said, "Null, Order your Personalized Christmas Ornament Now!" isn't that delicious irony?

10:30 am

stidmama

our snow is now mostly memory, except where the children piled it up a little. you?

10:30 am

Bloodaxe

stidmama

wow, rae -- that's rough. You're on the big island, right? I heard Victoria area was pretty bad off.

10:32 am

hurshy

10:32 am

Bloodaxe

10:50 am

gailinrb

there are a lot of wheat-free products now.

10:50 am

stidmama

my Tom makes me bread without wheat. fortunately, it's not a gluten allergy, but one of the other proteins in wheat.

10:50 am

Atalante

same here bunny! I adore chocolate ... but a lifetime without pasta? unthinkable

10:50 am

hurshy

Atalante

ec + endo***** (immune system stuff)

10:53 am

anike

That Babanon is ridiculous - it doesn't matter what user name & password you enter (even straight from their confirmation email) it comes back with invalid password

10:53 am

bunnyvicious

ec 7/36 - ec + take a bit out of ***m* (drug dog saying), replace m with another cons

10:53 am

torgone

ec = of or pertaining to certain sweat glands, distributed over the entire body, that secrete a type of sweat important for regulating body heat

10:54 am

bunnyvicious

ce 5/12 - ce + increase in pay rate is a ***se, switch around the vowels (def. - a white-to-yellow, heavy powder)

10:54 am

hurshy

you only have to log in to post, not to read

10:55 am

gailinrb

ce 5/12= ce + spanish river, but use different vowel at the end.

12:13 pm

2:01 pm

I did it to my puppy when she was tiny, while I worked. I came home every two hours, luckily I could. She quickly grew out of it and by then didn't seem to need it.

2:01 pm

Minski

I don't think there's anything wrong with crate training a dog if you do it correctly. My Parent's dog sleeps in his crate but he also uses it as a refuge when the house gets crazy like with a party or something. They never lock him in, they don't have to he goes in on his own.

2:01 pm

bgmadden

Atlante - uh, the puppy pees on the foor if I leave the room for a minute.....

johammer and mlwalla -- if you use Lickety's list there is a box at the top where you can type in the words you get and hit enter -- the word will go to the right spot in the list so you can tell what you need. Beside that box is a little black square containing a ? and if you type the first 2 letters of a word and hit that, it will take you to the list which begins with those letters.

8:37 pm

Jacula

Welcome back, Dorens.

8:37 pm

Jacula

aknitter - Me, too!;)

8:38 pm

Dorens

thanks jac.... your goodgifts.org has some fascinating stuff

8:38 pm

lbdawger

Jac, yes we6 is a sausage, but we call them hot dogs

8:38 pm

Jacula

Dorens - It does, yes!

8:40 pm

Jacula

lbd - that's what we call them, too. The proper sausage for a hotdog is a 'frakfurter'. I don't like those, though. I prefer 'proper' long pork sausage. Aren't the we6/30s those sausages on sticks?

8:40 pm

Dorens

are you involved in it (vested interest) or just passing at along cause you know we babblers would enjoy it?

8:40 pm

Jacula

Dorens - just passing it along because I thought the rest of you might enjoy it.

8:41 pm

lbdawger

Jac, those are called corn dogs...yuck.

8:41 pm

Dorens

well, thank you... we do

8:41 pm

Jacula

*frankfurter. See! Said this stupid 'man 'flu' I've been infected with has zapped my poor brain.:(

8:42 pm

lbdawger

lol Jac, i knew what you meant

8:42 pm

Dorens

but we knew what you meant....and most of us have been known to throw in a typo or two....all only human

8:42 pm

aknitter

i think i'll go and knit a bit BBL

8:42 pm

Jacula

lbd - Glad you said 'yuck' 'cos I've always thought they looked revolting.

8:42 pm

lbdawger

8:43 pm

Jacula

See you tomorrow/later, aknitter.

8:43 pm

Dorens

bye knitter

8:43 pm

aknitter

8:43 pm

lbdawger

i don't like corndogs or hotdogs...gag. i'll eat a bratswurst on occassion, only if there is absolutely nothing else to eat

8:46 pm

Dorens

8:46 pm

lbdawger

8:47 pm

Jacula

bratwurst - my ex used to love those German sausages. Never liked the look of them myself. Spanish chorizo is nice cooked with mixed lettuce, beetroot, gherkins, virgin olive oil & balsamic vinegar.

8:47 pm

Dorens

yayyyy got them on my own (it was the tu 6/7 combo) fireworks here (thanks anyway lbd)

8:48 pm

Jacula

(You do need to drain the fat off after cooking the sausages first though.

8:48 pm

Jacula

Well done, Dorens!

8:48 pm

Dorens

Hey, TO

8:54 pm

Jacula

The Dreaded Lurgey is the 'Man 'Flu' that is currently sweeping the world (or the UK at very least). It's horrible! It begins with a dry, tickly cough an a bit of a sore throat, then you get a little light-headed. You alternate between being freezing cold & burning up. You cough so much you feel in need of an inhaler.

8:55 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the sp 5/22 word please

8:55 pm

Minveryork

Hooh! Reality TV -- check out Babbler's icon!!!

10:24 pm

smooth_pappa

10:24 pm

lbdawger

I took french in 4 and 5th grade, latin in 7-9th grade, german for about an hour, and two years of italian.

10:24 pm

stidmama

reality TV? oh dear, I think I'll stay with my usual icon.

10:25 pm

stidmama

I can read most of what pappa said, but only with difficulty. Ya ruska vari vu tolka pangliski!

10:25 pm

lbdawger

10:25 pm

Jacula

I've found a couple of fun icons for the reality tv thing.

10:25 pm

anike

Jacula

So, none of you studied the Welsh language, I guess?

10:26 pm

jillibus

ok, you explained

10:26 pm

stidmama

I have no idea how to really transcribe it...

10:26 pm

anike

Thanks - see you soon

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

give me a book and some time and I can translate most languages ;D

I took Spanish in school, though I really wanted to study French -- I have found that I am pretty good at pronouncing words from other languages even if I don't know what I am saying

10:26 pm

stidmama

I know bore da, Jac! and gwyn, and melyn, and glas, LOL

10:27 pm

GreyWoulf

Jac -- Welsh is one that is on the list for me to study at some point when I have time -- or at least Gaelic

10:27 pm

lbdawger

no Jac, but I would love to try it. it's such a beautifully melodious language, as is the Irish (gaelic)

10:27 pm

smooth_pappa

ya gavaryu malinky russki. ya idyo na rossija dlya tri mesyatsi na Nizhnii Novgorod

10:27 pm

Jacula

stid - Is that like what Hazel was saying about Ulster Scots?

10:27 pm

stidmama

I haven't listened to the tapes recently, though.

10:27 pm

stidmama

three months in Novgorod? was it cold?

10:27 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - do both if you can, but not at the same time.

10:28 pm

stidmama

From learning bits and pieces of Welsh, I can understand the same words and phrases in Irish and Scots Gaelic once I get used to the mutations.

10:28 pm

smooth_pappa

in nizhni novogord... it was... they were all winter months... oh, and ten days in moscow... in fact, I passed the millenium new year in red squarre. :-D

10:29 pm

stidmama

Wow, I bet THAT was a trip, pappa!

10:29 pm

stidmama

Is that when you took those lovely pics?

10:29 pm

jillibus

Jac -- you taught us a few words which I've forgotten, but here's one from my Welsh uncle -- nadolig llawen (happy Christmas, I think)

10:29 pm

Jacula

Another language, is 'backspeak'. It's a backwards English that wwas spoken by adults in UK in the 40s/50s/60s.

10:29 pm

smooth_pappa

used to be called Gorki in the soviet days... it wasn't too cold though, not compared to wisconsin... but it was intense!

10:29 pm

stidmama

What was that like, Jacula?

10:30 pm

Jacula

jilli - Correct! A Blwyddyn Newydd Da! (And Happy New Year!)

10:30 pm

stidmama

I suppose it's all a matter of perspective, pappa -- though for me 10 F is WAY too cold.

10:33 pm

lbdawger

10:33 pm

jillibus

helen -- do you need help? Ask away!

10:34 pm

smooth_pappa

jacula... that was bacwardspeak? we call it pig latin

10:34 pm

Ankhorite

I gave a linguist friend a manual and CD on pig latin... *drying herself off* There is SOMETHING wrong with this computer, grrrr.

10:34 pm

stidmama

Ankhorite

*dutifully dries keyboard*

10:35 pm

smooth_pappa

I think you got a splatter on the monitor, ankh

10:35 pm

smooth_pappa

I think you got a splatter on the monitor, ankh

10:35 pm

Jacula

Sounds the same! I must save jilli's post and get my ex MIL to read it out to me.

10:35 pm

Ankhorite

*sighs and wipes the monitor down also*

10:35 pm

jillibus

igpay atinlay, otnay ackbay eakspay

10:36 pm

Ankhorite

Go to Amazon, enter "pigorian chant" -- my buddy the linguist is an RC priest, too, so it was the perfect gift.

10:36 pm

smooth_pappa

lol nice ankh sounds funny!

10:36 pm

lbdawger

that would be a hoot to hear ankh!

10:36 pm

jillibus

and there are variations, such as using iggle instead of ay.

10:37 pm

Ankhorite

*used to speak German, doesn't any more; a few words of Spanish, that's it* Oh, Pappa, he loved it -- he was in Rome at the time -- all his buddies wanted one.

10:37 pm

stidmama

funny, funny! I think I need to head out for a while. Plenty of good cluers in the room. Later all!

10:37 pm

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

so long stid

10:38 pm

jillibus

pigorian chant! Would this amuse my newly buddhist son?

10:38 pm

Jacula

Apparently, the origins of 'backspeak' and pig Latin are Yiddish & Romany.

10:38 pm

smooth_pappa

lol see ya ankh

10:38 pm

Jacula

What does not surprise me.

10:38 pm

lbdawger

smooth_pappa

has anyone here ever had any contact with south afrikanners? i spoke with a gnetnlman tonight with an accent I am not familiar ith... I thought maybesouth african

10:40 pm

Jacula

jilli - No, it was serious stuff to stop 'the enemy' hearing what you were talking about.

10:41 pm

Jacula

seth afrikaan? Bleck is bleck, I want my bebe back? That kind of accent?

10:41 pm

lbdawger

Smooth, south afrikanners have a mix of british almost aussie accent.

10:41 pm

Jacula

Oh, I just love all the accents of the world.

10:42 pm

smooth_pappa

it sounded like a lot of british, with a little aussie, and a bit more german mixed in... which is why I thought SA

10:42 pm

jillibus

we have several great doctors here from Soputh Africa -- one with a distinctly Brit accent who is multilingual and a couple of others who speak afikaans and English with a Gary Player accent

10:42 pm

Jacula

My auntie had a 'seth afrikaan' accent after a couple of years working there. Like me, she picks accents up somehow.

10:42 pm

lbdawger

mix a bit of germanic to it and that's what a south afrikanner sounds like. very crisp cut on word endings

10:42 pm

sallyds

10:42 pm

10:43 pm

Hi sally

10:43 pm

smooth_pappa

anyone up for another linguistic trivia question tonight?

10:43 pm

jillibus

ok

10:43 pm

Jacula

Go ahead, smooth...

10:43 pm

smooth_pappa

how many acceptable two letter words are there in the Official Tournament and Club Word List of the National Scrabble Association?

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

always, pappa

10:44 pm

jillibus

bah

10:44 pm

jillibus

don't care

10:44 pm

Ankhorite

101

10:44 pm

Ankhorite

And "gi" and "ok" are not among them, which is a SIN.

10:44 pm

smooth_pappa

close ankh...a bit lower

10:45 pm

Ankhorite

Nope, 101.

10:45 pm

smooth_pappa

as of 2006, I get a lower number

10:45 pm

Jacula

101.

10:45 pm

jillibus

going to get a reality clue.

10:46 pm

smooth_pappa

what? oh my! I need to recheck... igot 96

10:46 pm

Jacula

AArgh! I hate Scrabble dictionary. It's worse than Enable!

10:46 pm

Ankhorite

Pappa, log on in the early mornings -- I think Ursh is South African.

10:46 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, I talk with her, in all the afrikaans I know. lol

10:46 pm

Ankhorite

Jilli, a newly Buddhist son? Hmmm. Hmmm. I only know one Buddhist joke.

10:47 pm

Ankhorite

Well, Pappa, maybe you're right. Maybe 101 is the SOWPODS number, and the U.S. number is only 96. But NEITHER of them include "gi" or "ok," which is a sin.

10:48 pm

Jacula

And, as I have asked before, why does my daughter always manage to get 'zebu' on a triple word??

10:48 pm

smooth_pappa

lol nice compromise ankh. ;)

10:48 pm

Ankhorite

*rolls back chat and laughs at Jacula's most excellent Afrikaaner accent*

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

tu6?

10:49 pm

Ankhorite

Because she's YOUR daughter, Jac.

10:49 pm

Jacula

You may be right there, Ankh! Oh, taught her too well!

10:49 pm

Ankhorite

Jilli, pig latin was a security measure? You know about our Code Talkers in the US / WW II?

10:50 pm

Jacula

tu6 - overgarment + a vowel.

10:50 pm

Jacula

tu7/36 is + 2 vowels (Latin plural).

10:50 pm

lbdawger

Woulfie, what you might wear like a shirt + first vowel

Hey, Jilli, just catching up: the Code Talkers spoke Navajo, but I guess you knew that already. And the Buddhist joke is very gentle:

11:27 pm

Ankhorite

Vendor: so, you want a tofu dog? What do you want on it?
Buddhist: Oh, make me one with everything.

11:27 pm

jillibus

a + hu4/6 ( part of a ship)

11:27 pm

smooth_pappa

it took a long time to dagnose him.. we just thought he was careless, and watched too much tv. lol he still can't drive though... he gets distracted too easially, and can't focus on traffic

11:27 pm

harpjane

thanks jac!

11:28 pm

jillibus

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

I can't get to sleep yet

11:28 pm

davurs

Good evening folks. Checking in to do the final 10...

11:29 pm

davurs

I see helenk is on line - how did the tests go hK?

11:29 pm

harpjane

that's what I have, too, darv

11:29 pm

Ankhorite

Don't forget the tofu part! :)

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

jilli -- I have had a sinus infection since Sunday -- I finally got smart and saw a doc yesterday and he gave me an antibiotic which has done wonders for me

11:29 pm

GreyWoulf

hi harp

11:29 pm

Ankhorite

Hi, Davurs. Haven't seen HelenK chatting, unless you mean Helen Keller, and she left a while ago.

11:30 pm

GreyWoulf

scrolling back I see some fun threads

11:30 pm

davurs

I guess she didn't log off then. Maybe leaving it ready for the flip Ankh

11:31 pm

Jacula

*Great fun* (not) getting locked up in the back part of a clinic on more than one occasion when a child is going nuts and smashing hell out of the doors and the wired glass, and the staff and anyone else to hand. 'He (it's usually a 'he') has ADHD. It's okay!' the staff tell us. Oh? Right? You think that whatever his problem might be then that he might not just be a bit p*ssed off at being locked up in the looney unit?

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

my favorite Buddhist anecdote relates to two monks who are walking on a path together -- one is an older monk, the other is one of his newest disciples.

11:31 pm

Jacula

Don't anyone have a go at me for saying that because I am only quoting what the kids in there all said at one point or another, without commenting on my own thoughts.

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

The branch they follow has very strict rules regarding celibacy, abstinence, diet, etc. To the extent that to even touch a woman requires purification.

11:32 pm

smooth_pappa

lol fortunately it never got that far jac... though i can't imagine being locked in a brain like that

11:32 pm

GreyWoulf

when they come to a river which is swollen with the spring melts from the mountaintops, they encounter a woman who cannot cross and seeks assistance.

11:33 pm

GreyWoulf

The younger monk makes a great show of not acknowledging her in deference to his vows when the older (without a word) picks her up on his shoulders and carries her across

11:33 pm

smooth_pappa

what sort of icon would you all like to see for tomorrow?

11:34 pm

Jacula

Hang on, smooth - am waiting for Wolfie's punchline.

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

For several miles, the younger monk expresses his shock and dismay, that his mentor would ignore their vows in such an egregious manner, when the older stops him in his tracks by saying...

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

My son, I stopped carrying her once I put her down on the other side of the river.... Why do you still carry her?

11:36 pm

Jacula

Paul's quite happy to keep on seeing the stocking top, btw.

11:36 pm

harpjane

excellent story gw

11:36 pm

GreyWoulf

A bit long in the delivery for a teaching parable, I know. But I love the message it contains. :)

11:36 pm

smooth_pappa

lol

11:37 pm

harpjane

I'd like to see someone put that concept on a bumpersticker (*ducks*)

11:37 pm

smooth_pappa

so another shot from the burlesque?

11:38 pm

smooth_pappa

you keep using my name jac. lol is that your beloved's as well?

11:38 pm

Jacula

Now I'm hearing that old 'Family' song, Burlesque.

11:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Sure pappa -- I have yet to see a piece of your work I haven't liked

11:40 pm

Jacula

smoth - your name is Paul? If so, yes, that's my Other Half's name. He is paul69 on here. The ladies sometimes misinterpret that as some kind of boast about prowess in a certain field (and I wuld not comment on that!). It's his birth year, as he tells them.

11:40 pm

jillibus

tsk tsk jac

11:41 pm

Jacula

What are you tutting about, gran?

11:41 pm

Jacula

Or rather MUm.

11:41 pm

smooth_pappa

wee, he's got a good name, jac

11:42 pm

smooth_pappa

*well*

11:42 pm

smooth_pappa

new icon... again, from the burlesque troupe

11:42 pm

Jacula

Paul means 'small'. He hates that meaning! He's 6' 2". LOL.

11:42 pm

jillibus

woulf -- glad you got that antibiotic -- last winter I had 5 colds plus bronchitis in a row and finally went for antibiotics which worked like a charm.

11:42 pm

smooth_pappa

lol jac... i'm 5'5" aptly named.

11:43 pm

smooth_pappa

actually my full name means siomething like "though I am small, God is my strength"

11:43 pm

P.J.

good morning all

11:43 pm

smooth_pappa

hey hodag

11:43 pm

jillibus

ho ho hodag!

11:43 pm

GreyWoulf

That happened to me a few years back -- I kept getting ear infections that would return within a day or two of clearing up -- until I finally went to a clinic and got the meds to fix it for good

11:44 pm

P.J.

hey ya Jill

11:44 pm

GreyWoulf

*turns the temp up in the cuzzi as it is getting chilly*

11:44 pm

davurs

can anyone clue the last ha5/14 for me please

11:45 pm

Jacula

I will say again... antibiotics DO NOT work against any kind of virus. They only work against bacteria.

11:45 pm

jillibus

ha5/14 -- to improve - usually with en before it -- rhymes with trip the light fantastic

11:45 pm

GreyWoulf

true, Jac -- but when they appy they are wonderful

11:45 pm

GreyWoulf

oops -- apply

11:45 pm

smooth_pappa

no comments on the icon? should i change it?

11:45 pm

mamabear

cuzzi?????? ******CANNONBALL********

11:46 pm

Jacula

davurs - if you wanted to make a photo of you look better, you might enha** it using photoshop.

11:46 pm

Jacula

That's not a comment, btw. Just a clue!

11:46 pm

jillibus

jac, that's why I didn't get antibiotics at first -- I'm WELL aware of that -- but finally, there must have been bacteria lurking as well

11:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Jacula

Aw, jilli, I jut knew you'd have a go at me re that. Cough, cough! No, actually, not coughing now. Apart from the temperature changes twixt hot and cold, I'm breathing quite freely now.

11:48 pm

Jacula

Ribs still hurt from all the coughing though.

11:48 pm

GreyWoulf

sorry, smooth -- I am still getting the old one -- I need to clean my cache it seems

11:49 pm

jillibus

jac, I know what that's like!!! Try just getting over it and having it start again -- 5 times

11:49 pm

jillibus

I had a friend blame it on my having had a flue shot

11:49 pm

11:52 pm

GreyWoulf

11:54 pm

stidmama

how's your mother doing this week? did you get any snow? I am ready for spring already!

11:54 pm

GreyWoulf

I can see that too, smooth -- as with all art, it comes down to personal taste (which is why I can't stand art critics who try to tell me what I should like)

11:54 pm

Faerie

Hi Pappa - just like The Waltons saying goodnight LOL

11:54 pm

Jacula

jillli - your friend may not be wrong about the 'flue shot thing. My neighbour over the road was ill for weeks after her first shot of that. I've not had a shot yet (not old enough). My Mum had one, was ill for weeks, didn't have another.

11:54 pm

Crone

evening all

11:55 pm

Crone

who's calling the odds?

11:55 pm

stidmama

my mother had a reaction to her flu shot this year, first time she had trouble with it -- but then, they let her take it when she already had some sort of virus (which is a no-no)

11:55 pm

mamabear

hi Crone!

11:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Could someone clue the 7's for me please, with 30 to find in 5 mins, I would like to get the bigguns -- I have the 8's

11:55 pm

Faerie

stid no snow here and Mom is still doing well. Just windy and chilly right now but suppose to be getting colder

11:55 pm

stidmama

hi Crone! I think we're overdue for 378 words...

11:56 pm

renfield

hey crone..you want me to call you odd?

11:56 pm

smooth_pappa

lol good call woulf... I cvan't stand that either... ;)

11:56 pm

stidmama

Woulf, the last sp 6 has an alternate ending for a 7

11:56 pm

GreyWoulf

I have noticed that the grid has been trending towards bigger grids on the weekends lately

11:56 pm

Jacula

sitd - normaly, I'd be happy to see 378 words, but, in my present state and with Xmas looming....

11:56 pm

Jacula

aaargh!

11:56 pm

stidmama

there is a latin plural for the tu 6 (which adds a vowel to the tu 5 "shirt")

11:57 pm

stidmama

there is more pu 4/10,

11:57 pm

Faerie

(((Jac)))

11:57 pm

mamabear

what is the theme today? Can't seem to pick it up from the chickens watching tv and the ladies of the nite icons

11:57 pm

stidmama

there is more gorgeous (like a guy) hu 4/10

11:57 pm

stidmama

there is a plural cr 7

11:57 pm

Jacula

I should be going to try to get some sleep now, but I'm hungry. Going to make some toast and then we'll see...

11:57 pm

GreyWoulf

so far so good, stid

11:57 pm

Faerie

hmmmmm I'm guessing 283

11:58 pm

stidmama

and ec 7 is ec + the underskirt for poodle skirts in the 50s... + vowel

11:58 pm

smooth_pappa

faerie... can I ask you something?

11:58 pm

Faerie

sure Pappa

11:58 pm

stidmama

there are actually two cr 7, both plurals

11:58 pm

stidmama

I think that's all of them, woulf

11:58 pm

smooth_pappa

did you just send me a friend request on myspace? in the last day or two?

11:59 pm

stidmama

11:59 pm

Crone

cr7/48 = needlework; cr7/32 = cr7/48 change the middle consonant; ec7/36= ec+endo***** problems; hu7/52 = more hu4/10;

11:59 pm

GreyWoulf

11:59 pm

davurs

Yeah fireworks just before the flip!

11:59 pm

Faerie
