12:04 am

LoriP

That was exciting. I've always found the flip ritual to be an elusive creature. The ettiquette is no cluing, right?

12:04 am

stidmama

seain, you're a nice guy but... *shuffles feet* you have WEIRD phantoms

12:04 am

dcseain

go me! :D

12:04 am

moonwoof

I would say at least an hour or so, Lori.

12:04 am

stidmama

the etiquette is you holler out the first letter and how long for long words (7 and up) and let people look for them

12:05 am

Uniquity

My phantom is normal: shalt.

12:05 am

jillibus

Lori, the geniuses just announce the first letters of the long words

12:05 am

herinfernallady

Weegee holiday for uou?

12:05 am

dcseain

first hour or so, yes lori, and what stid said about the biggies.

12:05 am

stidmama

until someone starts to beg for a tiny hint... but we don't "spell" the clues out until much later in the day.

12:05 am

moonwoof

But people Will call out letters and numbers to be the "first" found.

12:05 am

LoriP

Awesome. Thanks for that important info.

12:06 am

Uniquity

The problem with this is...I'll stay up all night to do the grid...

12:06 am

herinfernallady

12:06 am

moonwoof

Gee. Thats just terrible Junkie. I mean... Uniquity =D

12:07 am

herinfernallady

Hands Uni the grid and slowly backs away

12:07 am

2:37 am

metaleather

it's a site you can go to and set up your own country... decide the political stance, etc... deal with issues and see how it "sinks or floats". based more or less on the Max Barry novel Jennifer Government

in english there are only 3 articles, I think... one definite, 2 indefinate

3:37 am

annak - lickety and family away for a couple of days so we will have to slog it out on our own and with brandy jacks clues

3:37 am

Cheshill

herinfernallady

Babble you are briliant

3:43 am

dcseain

nu6 - like what happened to peter parker to make him spider man.

3:43 am

sprite

BJ is of the old babbler's crowd, before all the prettying up was done. We used to make first letter lists from our own words or a generator every now and then, until BJ started to give us a daily list.
Lickety came much later, but made a perfect browser for Babble, which has even more to offer.

3:44 am

sprite

brilliantly ambivalent... :D

3:44 am

3:46 am

dcseain

babble's changed a good bit since i first arrived here 2 years ago.

3:46 am

sprite

imagine about a 100 babblers, chatlogs of 10 messages and no clues, lists or even knowing the total amount of words.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

now that makes me want to look at the archs

3:47 am

Of course, sprite is talking about an age when indoor plumbing was unheard of

3:49 am

herinfernallady

Never said i was bright

3:50 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble, th4 would surprise you. I think it is not much more than 4 or 5 years back.

3:50 am

dcseain

i remember before several members of my family had indoor plumbing, unless a pump in the kitchen counts.

3:50 am

Merk

duh, ty, dc

3:51 am

o-o

I was intrumental in introducing indoor plumbing for outdoor commodes

3:51 am

sprite

the inclination to help others has grown significantly in the years.

3:52 am

dcseain

why do you suppose that be, sprite?

3:52 am

herinfernallady

Wow that was when Jera was still about

3:52 am

sprite

I knew I loved you for a reason, BabbleRabble

3:53 am

herinfernallady

ANd Faerikay

3:53 am

ursh

I think in the early days people were quite nervous of being able to communicate so freely to all parts of the world and tended to keep to themselves for fear of messing up their computers

3:54 am

sprite

I don't know, dc. In the very early logs you can see people become very unkind when someone asked for a clue, sometimes. It was expected you did as much as you could by yourself.
It was also before the whole community thing on internet got as widespread as it is now.

3:54 am

dcseain

huh. i've been using IM with people around the globe for 7 years, so it seems natural tome.

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Man i miss some of the earlier people

3:54 am

ChrissieDee

I love seeing all the different flags in the chat

3:55 am

sprite

not for everybody, dc.
I miss even more of them, lady, lol. Some even still play, but never ever chat anymore.

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Musicmom FaireKay and Jera

3:55 am

dcseain

yes, sprite, i do realize not everyone is as accustomed to that as i am

3:55 am

herinfernallady

I know that ToadnToadette had a little one now

3:56 am

sprite

but on the whole, babble has become much friendlier and a real community. I have adapted and I love being here very much. I have 'met' so many great people I would never have known otherwise. And helping eachother, working as a team and not competing, is one of the things I love best in life.

3:56 am

sprite

I keep hitting the wrong tone with you today, don't I, dc? I apologise again.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

There is a few people that i really miss. Jera and Musicmom were so lovely to me when i started

3:57 am

dcseain

i tend to be more cooperative than competetive, myself, in general.

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Dc are you tired and cranky? you seem it?

3:57 am

dcseain

and no, not at all sprite, beautifully narrative :)

3:57 am

ok, for those looking for the last words and having problems, like, me: there is a hw4 babblet.

7:56 am

bonkler

i have to disagree lynxxx, he's been a pest before

7:56 am

moonwoof

Oh, that's totally true Lynxx. He even typed better than *I* was. I just have a hard time with ANYone just telling me what to do and not saying please at least.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

**doing the Babble Dance!** I found the 9 and 10! TY!

7:56 am

montreal13

i teased him Lyn ... but i kept it light...

7:57 am

shorty

me too me too oh yeah, oh yeah

7:57 am

moonwoof

He could have been Way worse. *I* was at that age. But I'm not joking when I say that there has to be a happy medium somewhere.

7:57 am

moonwoof

In all seriousness, since when is "suck" a Bad Word.??

7:58 am

lynxxx

Hi Shorty !

7:58 am

montreal13

since this am it seems...

7:58 am

LadyNatts

greyhound or whippet, lynxx?

7:59 am

shorty

Hello lynxxx!

7:59 am

lynxxx

who knows, maybe in Mousey world it is - not in mine!

7:59 am

lynxxx

Greyhound Lady

8:00 am

acelightning

well, originally "suck" was an insult because it was what a man might pay a hooker to do (cos his wife wouldn't). it's not a bad word if it refers to what a vacuum cleaner does, but...

8:00 am

moonwoof

Mine either... {{sigh}} And I'm not about to start saying it is. oh well. It'll sort itself out.

8:00 am

shorty

I'm likin ur dog lynxxx

8:00 am

moonwoof

Ok, ace. "This sucks. How's that bad?

8:01 am

acelightning

"this sucks" = "this performs a generally illicit act of oral sex"

8:01 am

Jen

Morning all! My guess is that Mousey's parents told him that if the chat got "bad" (since he's a kid), he had to leave the game.

8:01 am

bonkler

like a lot of words, it depends on context. suck despite any negative connotations has become a common usage word in the culture. and what is illicit about oral sex?

8:02 am

Jen

and suck is probably on his parents' list of no-nos

8:02 am

montreal13

might have been the original meaning but now is used for all kinds of situations by all kinds of people...

8:02 am

moonwoof

Or " this sucks the planet earth into the center of a black hole..."

8:02 am

acelightning

bonkler - i don't know why it's less unacceptable than the F word. but neither one makes sense. when you tell someone "F you!", you might as well be saying "get rich!"- so why is it an insult?

8:02 am

periwinkle

sheet

8:03 am

periwinkle

oops

8:03 am

Scrabbler

TY, Periwinkel--I didn't have th4 one yet.

8:03 am

LadyNatts

LOL peri

8:03 am

bonkler

lol the f word doesn't have too many other contextual uses. suck is a more flexible term and needn't always apply to fellatio

8:04 am

acelightning

some words are just "bad" for no logical reason.

8:04 am

periwinkle

YW Scrabs

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear, my mother said I have to get off if too many F words are used in the chat.

8:04 am

lynxxx

OK the O isn't oxlip so I'll give up for now. Goodnite people

8:05 am

moonwoof

I guess I can understand some of that kind of. but I'm really not joking when I say I'm not going to let anyone (especially a 3rd grader) just tell me to do something and Not say please.

8:05 am

acelightning

bonk - i think a lot of kids who use it don't even know it refers to fellatio. they just know their peers use it to express extreme disapproval

8:05 am

montreal13

friends, friendship, fraternity, fellowship...

8:05 am

LadyNatts

you people crack me up... why has the chat gone to a discussion about the contextual meanings of the word "suck"... It's hysterical. I can't concentrate on the board, now.

8:05 am

periwinkle

okay, more than 1/2 found, will take a walk, it is wet outside but not raining, bbl

The F word was originally meant Female Under Control and someone made it into something bad

8:05 am

Hi bookgrrl

Scrabbler

Yes, I discovered tw4

8:07 am

bookgrrl

good morning all...

8:07 am

bonkler

interesting shorty, i'd heard it was 'for unlawful carnal knowledge'.

8:07 am

moonwoof

Apparently the Problem per-se was Just typing the word, itself.

8:07 am

montreal13

it's also wh** i understood it to be dan...

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I didn't know that about F***--interesting.

8:07 am

acelightning

bonk/dan - that's an urban myth (look it up on Snopes). it's from an Old English word that means the same thing.

8:07 am

dan2bit

huh

8:07 am

bookgrrl

actually, f*** is an old word, from the anglo-saxon era...

8:08 am

LadyNatts

* looks hard to find the rude word in the grid *

8:08 am

acelightning

all our common "dirty words" were originally the Old English word for the thing, and not considered bad at all

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Has anyone used the X in any word yet?

8:08 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabs....Life in Brooklyn is quietly calm...why the uproar over "suck"...a simple verb..dont suck your thumb...do you want to suck a lollipop...you will be sucked into the black hole...

8:08 am

dan2bit

as usual, I learn something today from the chatterbox

8:08 am

moonwoof

yes Bunny. I have used it in a couple.

8:08 am

acelightning

scrab - i think there's one word that contains the x

8:08 am

bookgrrl

almost all of the words we think are "dirty" are anglo-saxon words; the latinate terms are more acceptable.

8:09 am

bonkler

we anglo saxons are a filthy lot lol

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Our old friend, Mousey, was here earlier, and chastising us for using the word "suck".

8:09 am

oops; i'm repeating ace...

DS927

he6 - you enjoy good he6 if you aren't sick, he7 is plural

9:00 am

LadyNatts

se5 is thought to be like a stage direction - used to indicate a pause or perhaps a raising of the voice ... ancient hebrew

9:00 am

pinkhatlil

oh except the he9 need to remove 4th letter from he10

9:00 am

periwinkle

9:17 am

gramma

Does anyone need a clue before I go pick up this pig sty?

9:18 am

Mom

I would rather you pick up my pig sty and give me clues. lol

9:18 am

Queenruejean

Gramma, the ee7. I just can't see it.

9:18 am

LadyNatts

I'm working without a list.. down to 33 and don't know where to go from here

9:18 am

Haz1558

It's the plural of ha4/5 - sounding like icy stuff from the sky but meaning in good he6.

9:18 am

bbnaz

well the first ha4.5 cannot be made plural and then there is a 5.12 and a 6.21 before the next ha4.5

9:18 am

bbnaz

so i cannot see it

9:18 am

Haz1558

It's the ha4/5 that goes with hearty in the saying.

9:19 am

bbnaz

yes i have that. is there no ha5 before that one?

9:19 am

Anniebrook

bb....ha-to stop- ha 4/5 ha** and hearty -----ha5/12, plural the ha 4/5

9:19 am

Haz1558

No, it's the first one, bb.

9:19 am

gramma

Queen, ee7 is a stupid word. It begins like the Moray *** and ends with your bottom lip jutting out because you're not pleased.

9:20 am

bbnaz

okay then i a need the fish. i guess it is the 6 that i am looking for...........mumbling to self that i am an idiot

9:20 am

Queenruejean

Thanks, Gramma. I thought I tried all moray combinations!

9:20 am

Haz1558

Enomis65

9:23 am

Haz1558

Alternative second letter value and points can be found in Brandyjack's list. Look up Babblers Anonymous, General and then Stats. It's not so fast but it works.

9:23 am

LadyNatts

Enomis65

I had never seen brandy jack<s list - we learn something new everyday!

9:25 am

LadyNatts

I use it to play during breaks when I'm at work

9:26 am

Haz1558

I know, harpjane, we've been spoilt, or at least those of us who use Lickety's list are. The old-timers will laugh at the complaints.

9:26 am

Enomis65

wow... we do take things for granted - never thought that we would have a day without lickety's list!!!

9:26 am

Haz1558

We had many days without Lickety's list and we survived. This is character building.

9:27 am

Jacula

*Sound of distant laughter.*

9:27 am

dan2bit

anybody have the n or the u?

9:27 am

Haz1558

Although I have to say that if tomorrow's total is 650, my character is going to remain flawed.

9:27 am

Mom

I don't have them Dan, sorry

9:27 am

Enomis65

9:31 am

Anniebrook
