DR1965

Yes to both of you! like I sa4... rough day

12:34 am

12:41 am

westford

12:41 am

jillibus

why are women cradle-robbers but men can marry kids decades younger?

12:41 am

Bugsaw

Truth is he had a crush on a teacher

12:42 am

westford

I heard that too bugs but I heard babysitter lol

12:42 am

Douglas

Men can be cradle-robbers too, alas

12:42 am

Bugsaw

12:42 am

jillibus

oh, I think I found the song

12:42 am

westford

from what I remember about teen age boys I surely wouldn't want one

12:43 am

Douglas

I seem to recall Letterman continually mocking Michael Douglas over Catherine Zeta-Jones

12:43 am

westford

they seem happy

12:44 am

westford

did Letterman finally get married?

12:44 am

cybernan

12:48 am

westford

lol erda not me

12:48 am

rbud

ty, I love the colors

12:50 am

Erda

I have a little Colossus of Rhodes story. Way back home, when someone was bragging too hard, someone would counter with "His Rhodus, hic salta!!" (continues)

12:51 am

jillibus

west -- most interesting. Makes me think of Ozymandias, King of Kings...

12:51 am

Erda

It turns out there was a braggart in old Greece whoi said he could jump over the Colossus of Rhodes. So they brought him to Rhodes and said: "Here is Rhodes, now jump!" (Hic Rhodus, hic salta!

12:52 am

Erda

I am yet to run into someone in America who ever heard of it.

12:52 am

jillibus

great story, erda!

12:52 am

Bugsaw

love it erda

12:52 am

DR1965

12:52 am

westford

12:52 am

Douglas

Alas, never heard it, Erda, but it's a great story

12:52 am

DR1965

12:54 am

cybernan

well done dr -- you're way ahead of me

12:54 am

Erda

Night, Nan

12:54 am

Douglas

Victor Davis Hanson said four years of Latin would do wonders toward arresting the decline in American education

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

yw dr take care

12:54 am

Erda

It would take more than that, Douglas...

12:56 am

westford

I so enjoyed Latin could have had something to do with our teacher too

12:57 am

Erda

It's a very useful language, though dead -- it is reflected in so many others...

12:57 am

Bugsaw

I hated Latin. With the absolute stupidity and rigidness of youth I thot it was such a waste because I was not about to bump into any dead Romans

12:57 am

Douglas

Alas, yes...is there any hope? Or should we just Babble while America crashes into ruins?

12:58 am

westford

do you feel differently now bugs?

12:58 am

mom2han8

four years of teaching could probably do the same, LOL!

12:58 am

Erda

Not much can be done, alas...so let's Babble!!

12:59 am

Bugsaw

Yes but not enuff to begin studying again!

12:59 am

rururocks

1:00 am

Erda

Has been tried many times, RuRu

1:00 am

rururocks

jillibus

1:09 am

mom2han8

On that note...night all!

1:09 am

jillibus

It's about "Lessons from a Freethinking Dog"

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I read the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons.. and one other one I can't remember right now

1:09 am

Douglas

Hollywood will probably make Digital Fortress into a movie too, with Tom Hanks starring and Ron Howard directing...what could go wrong?

1:09 am

jillibus

3:07 am

Dianne

Hi west

3:07 am

joshuavorbis

3:10 am

westford

I almost made it without the list last grid had 10 to go

3:10 am

joshuavorbis

i was able to go commando last grid

3:11 am

westford

attaboy

3:12 am

joshuavorbis

the downside of going ahead and finishing is that i'm up late enough to say hello to the sun

3:12 am

westford

me too I pretend I'm an early riser

3:13 am

westford

people who get up early are the good people

3:16 am

joshuavorbis

they're weird

3:17 am

westford

they're just different lol

3:17 am

lynxxx

that'll be me then

3:17 am

westford

noons

3:17 am

westford

oops

3:17 am

westford

lyn you have the Aussie advantage

3:18 am

joshuavorbis

i kid - i am the most sporadic sleeper i know. in 2 weeks i will be an early bird for a magical 3 week period

3:18 am

lynxxx

I used to sleep till midday until I had my first child many years ago. Since then I wake about 6 am

3:18 am

westford

that's hard to do

3:19 am

westford

children tend to get up early

3:19 am

westford

lynn do you still have children at home?

3:19 am

lynxxx

one child, well an adult anyway

3:20 am

westford

pets?

3:20 am

lynxxx

just Stew

3:21 am

westford

oh that's right your greyhound

3:21 am

westford

was he a rescue?

3:22 am

lynxxx

From one of the greyhound adoption agency. Trainers give them up for adoption once they have finished racing or, as Stew was, if they are no good for racing

3:23 am

gran

Any clues please for na 6/21

3:23 am

westford

he was lucky you found him and I'm sure vice versa

3:24 am

joshuavorbis

plural of a 5/12, gran

3:24 am

joshuavorbis

there are 2 different plurals of that na5/12, that i can tell, a 6 and a 7

3:24 am

joshuavorbis

same thing with the ne6

3:24 am

lynxxx

They are lovely dogs for pets, have only ever met one who was a bit dodgy

3:25 am

gran

Got that one - are there two ne6/21

3:26 am

westford

I think some people believe they will run after anything because of their training

3:26 am

joshuavorbis

i have 2, gran, but i'm still missing 2 n's

3:28 am

Dianne

Only 2 ne6

3:28 am

joshuavorbis

3:29 am

westford

gj josh

3:30 am

Dianne

Anyone need any clues before I go?

3:30 am

lynxxx

They do love to chase, especially when playing. Sadly for them we aren't, by law, allowed to have them off lead here which solves that problem. They spook easily too and could take off. At home they are never off the couch/bed though. Stew was prone for 16 hours yesterday, only went out for a wee break when I made him

3:31 am

westford

I think I just may come back as a greyhound lol

3:42 am

millsbooks

morning all, have problem....have 20 la`s ..says 22.....22 la`s ..says 20...and cannot find the missing " L " where every it is

5:05 am

Haz1558

Hello zooz and Lori! Glad you liked them. Can you still see the glow of motherly pride from here?

5:06 am

lynxxx

goodmorning Haz

5:06 am

LoriP

Sorry mills, I'm missing 4 l's..... It should be no other way Haz! All that coddling you did as they grew up must have helped.... :p

Haz1558

Hello lynxxx, nice to see you.

5:07 am

LoriP

oops, and g'd mornin mills

5:10 am

millsbooks

i will go to list later and mark off and see if i can find it

5:12 am

LoriP

I'm only missing 1 re, for me that's impressive!

5:12 am

Haz1558

It's unheard of.

5:12 am

LoriP

Why isn't freon a word?

5:12 am

lynxxx

I'm jealous

5:13 am

LoriP

It'll take me forever to find though. :/

5:13 am

Haz1558

Because enable says it isn't.

5:13 am

LoriP

Enable is mean.

5:13 am

Haz1558

It's a trade name.

5:14 am

LoriP

I should remember that by now, but apparently not.

5:16 am

Haz1558

Put a post-it note on the computer - Enable is mean, freon not accepted.

5:16 am

Haz1558

But, if I did that with all the words I try, the screen wouldn't be visible.

5:16 am

LoriP

I'd have so many notes on the monitor, I'd never be able to see the screen.

5:17 am

LoriP

lolol, great minds think alike. We'll skip the second part of that adage....

5:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, the second bit is rubbish.

5:20 am

zoozzoom

bbl

5:20 am

LoriP

Laters zooz!

5:20 am

Haz1558

Must set out the recycling bin. We eco-warrors are tireless. See you later, zooz.

5:21 am

LoriP

Shouldn't the staff take care of that sort of thing Haz?

5:32 am

Eva

never knew that was a word

5:32 am

Haz1558

I'm not convinced that it is, Eva.

5:33 am

Eva

do you mean that you don't have total faith in Enable's literacy?

5:33 am

Haz1558

But who are with to argue with enable?

5:34 am

Haz1558

Funnily enough, I don't, Eva. But I think I'm not alone.

5:35 am

Eva

I suppose we'd mistrust any one dictionary. Although th OED would be nice

5:37 am

lynxxx

finished the Rs!

5:37 am

Haz1558

Maybe it's just that there's a perfectly good word already 'fr**dom, that would be most commonly used.

5:38 am

Eva

still missing 5 of the little miseries lynxxx

5:38 am

Haz1558

I wonder if Lori has managed the same feat, lynxxx?

5:38 am

LoriP

***No, no she hasn't***

5:39 am

LoriP

Oh, and thanks for the first 2 letters of my missing 8's Ehva

5:39 am

Welcome back Lori.

6:02 am

FMitch

Afternoon, how is today's babble offering?

6:03 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon, FM. It's a nice grid, but maybe Lori has other ideas?

6:03 am

LoriP

Gah, finished the top l. ***faints***

6:03 am

LoriP

Mornin' FM! It's a gooder, more or less....

6:03 am

FMitch

Tell me, I've heard her muttering away for ages :)

6:03 am

Haz1558

There we are, we're agreed.

6:03 am

LoriP

I got down to 18 on the first sweep, so there's a clue.

6:04 am

LoriP

The re's suck, naturally

6:04 am

FMitch

Oh that bodes well Lori, you clever thing you!

6:04 am

LoriP

I don't mutter. I just complain in a non silent manner.

6:05 am

FMitch

LOL

6:05 am

Haz1558

But your lips do move, you're just not aware of it.

6:05 am

LoriP

Exactly. Haz understands my many failings.

6:06 am

FMitch

It's raining again and I have had to dig out some autumnal clothing today, who stole summer?

6:06 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. Phone...

6:06 am

LoriP

Sumemr? We've not had any yet. The weather was terrible when Uni was home. Only got to the ebach once. :(

6:07 am

LoriP

Wow, my typing gets worse and worse.....

6:07 am

FMitch

oh what a shame Lori but I bet you both had a great time anyway!

6:08 am

LoriP

OMG! Found my re! ***major smug*** Not gonna' mention the folly of it being re 4/7

6:08 am

LoriP

Oh weather doesn't deter us. We had a blast. The Black Books party was a household fave. :)

6:10 am

LoriP

Hah, and the word for veranda finishes my l's. I better stop, because I'm scaring myself.

6:10 am

Haz1558

And back. Just in time to see Lori covering herself in glory. I'm tempted to burst into a round of applause.

6:10 am

FMitch

you're scaring me too! Guess I would really make a start on the grid. Haven't really got the brain power today (been up since 4am) :(

6:11 am

Haz1558

4 am is for the birds.

6:12 am

LoriP

4 am is my world. It's poopy...

6:12 am

FMitch

tell me! it's actually pre dawn and I think the doves that nest outside my office window weren't best pleased.

6:12 am

Haz1558

We have a family of housemartins nesting in the eaves. What a racket they set up, it seems to go on all the time.

6:13 am

herinfernallady

hello.

6:13 am

Haz1558

Are you still not sleeping well, Lori? That's been ages.

6:13 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

6:13 am

FMitch

Hi herin.

6:15 am

FMitch

Hadn't actually looked at the word total for today, 218 .... and so many e's!

6:15 am

LoriP

I keep saying it'll pass sooner or later Haz. Not so far though lol

6:16 am

Haz1558

It's been months. You must be exhausted or maybe you've just got used to it?

6:17 am

LoriP

Possibly just used to it now. Was quite irritating when it started, but now I just cope with it. It is what is is.

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Waves hi. I think I have still have a challenge. Diving in

6:19 am

Haz1558

Of course, if you had a full night's sleep, your speed on this thing would be even more frightening. Truly awesome.

6:21 am

FMitch

Good point Haz, the true genius would be shown and there would be vacant position for head of DENSA .

6:21 am

Haz1558

I know and there aren't many who could fill that position.

Nef

Morning all. Trying to work up the enrgy to get moving this AM. I'd like to know why any of the verbs *I* use that start with re never seem to be words according to enable!

6:22 am

LoriP

DENSA is mine, and you can't have it! Mornin' Nef

6:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning Nef.

6:23 am

FMitch

*ponders if Ata is up in the sky yet*

Hi Nef, I know that feeling!

6:23 am

Haz1558

Ata's flight was at 11 I think.

6:23 am

Nef

Good morning Lori, Haz FM and herin

6:24 am

LoriP

Gah, kept trying to 5/12 ending in e instead of i. Pooey.

6:24 am

FMitch

ah yes that rings bells *wave a hankie in the direction of the Atantic*

6:24 am

LoriP

Is Ata Hari off to Oregon already???? <-----

6:25 am

Haz1558

She is, Lori.

6:25 am

FMitch

yes *sniff*

6:25 am

LoriP

The break will do her good methinks even though we will suffer for it.

6:25 am

Nef

OOOH! 2 8's done on my own already! I was regretting starting this sized puzzle on a busy day; but maybe I'll do okay; 40 words alread in less than 15 minute

6:26 am

LoriP

***Hands Nef the Babbler of the hour award*** :)

6:26 am

Haz1558

She's promised to keep in touch and not to forget about us.

6:26 am

FMitch

definitely and especially as she is not exhibiting this year so no last min pressure to complete artwork etc.

6:27 am

Haz1558

Yes, her exhibitionism is always cause for concern.

6:27 am

Nef

Babbler of the hour award? Wow! I am SO honored! ;-)

6:27 am

FMitch

*giggle*

6:28 am

LoriP

Those artistic temperaments need to be swathed in freedom. heh

6:28 am

Nef

what is Ata doing?

6:28 am

Haz1558

Nobody has ever given me the babbler of the hour award. Where do I send my letter of complaint?

6:28 am

LoriP

Babbler of the hour carries much more prestige than Babbler of the minute.

6:28 am

LoriP

Send it to FM, clearly her fault.

6:28 am

Haz1558

Ata is going to Oregon for a six week holiday. That's her cover story but there are rumours of deportation and things. Not that we're ones to gossip.

6:29 am

FMitch

6 weeks?? she told me 4 *wail*

6:29 am

LoriP

No mention of any covert work if you please. All very hush hush.

6:30 am

FMitch

*ignores Lori*

6:30 am

Haz1558

6 weeks is clearly not correct. Unless she was trying to spare your feelings, FM.

6:30 am

LoriP

***ignores FM's ignoring me***

6:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, we must draw a veil over her hush hush work. It's top secret.

6:30 am

Nef

a six week holiday? Wow, *I* sure don't live right! I haven't had a vacation in well over 2 years; so am planning 4 days off in Mid-August and the last full week off then too. <pouting about 6 WEEKS off at once now>

6:31 am

LoriP

We don't call her Ata Hari for nuthin', that's all I'm saying.

6:31 am

Nef

LOL!

6:31 am

Haz1558

Yes, but Ata is different.

6:31 am

FMitch

LOL Nef I haven't had a proper holiday in so long it might actually be double digits.

6:31 am

zoozzoom

oh dear, i have stalled at only 80 words...the list is looking tempting now.

6:32 am

LoriP

wb zooz

6:32 am

Haz1558

6:32 am

FMitch

6:34 am

Haz1558

It's called 'If I ruled the world' and contains all sorts of useful tips.

6:34 am

LoriP

Her books is called Grammer and Spelling don't matter. <-----

6:34 am

zoozzoom

LOL...i want a copy please.

6:34 am

Nef

6:41 am

FMitch

I'm sure ! will but might save it till later, really should be working but needed a break away from Excel.

6:41 am

Haz1558

Enable doesn't like Slade. It must have a dislike of 70s music.

6:42 am

FMitch

For once we have to applaud enable then!

6:42 am

Haz1558

I think so. Especially when they had all sorts of horrific misspellings on their records. Kum on feel the noyze and things like that.

6:43 am

Nef

okay, gotta go BBL (in about 13 hours, after work)

6:43 am

6:49 am

LoriP

2:32 pm

wildcat17

did they have a good time?

2:32 pm

Dorens

of course... this whole week is about good times, nothing else is allowed!

2:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all -- and yes, most word games do not accept proper nouns, including this one

2:33 pm

wildcat17

hi gwen

2:33 pm

Dorens

hi bdg

2:34 pm

torgone

But al4/4 is ok for some reason ..

2:35 pm

wildcat17

it has another meaning besides the name

2:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

al4 is not a proper noun. it's some kind of ancient dog breed

2:35 pm

Dorens

like henry

2:35 pm

wildcat17

or john

2:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

if a word is both a regular noun and a proper noun, it's okay for the game

2:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some slang is also not acceopted, like nads (!)

2:38 pm

wildcat17

too many rules! they should all be words

2:39 pm

wildcat17

speaking of words ... I need 22 more

2:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, if it accepted proper nouns you would have thousands more "words" you would have to find, like Kroger and Madagascar

2:39 pm

buffgirl71

I'm new to this game. Can you tell me what your codes mean - like 'al4'?

2:39 pm

Dorens

good point bdg and go wildcat, go!

2:40 pm

Dorens

four letter word beginning with al

2:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

buff, we try not to use a word here that is in the puzzle. so the 1st two letters, then the length of the word.

2:40 pm

Dorens

al4/5 would be the same, with a point count of 5

2:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

You can get lots of clues: click on the tiny green link at the bottom for Lickety's Babble Clues

Lickety gives you the first two letters of each word, plus how many letters in the word, plus the word's point value

The point value sometimes helps you figure out if you need a word with a high-scoring letter in it, and things like that

2:41 pm

buffgirl71

Thanks a lot!

example: fe6

4:06 pm

abetterjulie

TY, lynxxx...not as simple as I originally thought, so feel better about not seeing it! Thx!

4:07 pm

Bugsaw

Mema - try grandmothers with only one vowel

4:08 pm

Bugsaw

same ending as pots and pa**

4:08 pm

Bugsaw

are you there any more?

4:09 pm

lynxxx

Must be taking a coffee break, what a good idea - BBS

4:21 pm

Mema

I had to shut down 'cause the fuse blew in my computer room and my backup battery took over. But I'm back up and that last clue worked, Bugsaw!! Thank you so much - fireworks!!

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

HI all 58 left. I really ne** to get the lead out.

4:22 pm

abetterjulie

I've still got 82. i am so tired today that I can't think very well. Even the 4.4's are stumping me.

4:22 pm

abetterjulie

congrats Mema!

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

4:26 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Babble Rabble.

4:33 pm

BR thanks for the O clue! I got distracted, trying to cook dinner.

4:33 pm

Kazzer99

hi all - back to finish the last 43

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

Hi kazz.

4:50 pm

buffgirl71

Could I have a clue for the O in the second row?

4:51 pm

Kazzer99

os to do with bones

4:52 pm

buffgirl71

TY!

4:52 pm

Kazzer99

naiades

4:53 pm

Kazzer99

oops sorry about that - over enthusiatic

4:53 pm

zoozzoom

PB for you Kazzer :-)

4:53 pm

Kazzer99

i know - anything nice in there tonight

4:53 pm

Bugsaw

Kazzer, do you have a favourite Pratchett book?

4:54 pm

zoozzoom

I`ve been good today..not been in there once..LOL

4:55 pm

Kazzer99

ooh difficult one - probably the dark side of the sun bugs

4:55 pm

Kazzer99

closely followed by Lords and Ladies

4:56 pm

Kazzer99

and the one with Neil Gaiman

4:56 pm

Kazzer99

not too sure about Nation but its growing on me

4:57 pm

Kazzer99

I have a picture of Greebo on my office wall!

4:57 pm

Bugsaw

I haven't read Dark side of the sun so I will look for that one. I loved the Thief of Time if that is the one with the ineffable sweeper

4:57 pm

Bugsaw

Nation crept up on me too. I think it has a lot to do with his current health issues

4:58 pm

Kazzer99

and a little Gaspode next to my pc

4:58 pm

Kazzer99

you might be right - Dark Side of the Sun has nothing to do with the Disk World

4:58 pm

Bugsaw

We don't have the paraphernalia here. A little Gaspode should help with tuff grids

4:59 pm

Bugsaw

I had 4 boys - call them the wee free men

4:59 pm

Kazzer99

I live about 20 minutes drive from Wincanton, which is twinned with Ankh Morpork

5:00 pm

Bugsaw

really? does it have a river running thru it?

5:00 pm

Bugsaw

can you walk accross it?

5:01 pm

Kazzer99

I have all the books and most of the paperback versions are dogeared and sort of dried out where i've dropped them in the bath - not sure about that bit with the river but there is a shop called the Cunning Artificer and they make models of the buildings etc

5:02 pm

Kazzer99

they had Hogswatch Night celebrations as well - last year it was 29th November

5:02 pm

Bugsaw

What fun! I must plan a trip there for Hoswatch with my youngest son who loves the books as much as I.

5:03 pm

nrkii

hi all!

5:03 pm

Bugsaw

Hogswatch, sorry

5:03 pm

nrkii

entering chat with 19 to go...

5:03 pm

Bugsaw

I will look up the place on the net

5:04 pm

Kazzer99

I thought Small Gods was good as well - when i lived in Aberdeen i got a couple of books signed - got a the graphic novel of the Colour of Magic signed

5:04 pm

abetterjulie

What books are you discussing?

5:04 pm

Kazzer99

Terry Pratchett's

5:04 pm

zoozzoom

Hello Nrkii

5:04 pm

abetterjulie

Ah, okay. Don't care for those. DH likes them, tho.

5:05 pm

Bugsaw

You are my hero Kazzer. He came to Victoria a couple of years back which is about 3 hours drive away. My friend got him to sign Thief of Time for me

5:05 pm

Kazzer99

my friend got me hooked - me her and her daughter went to a party dressed as the witches - I am Nanny Ogg

5:06 pm

Bugsaw

My husband eats what we call dwarf bread and one of my boys had a cat called Carrot. His girlfriend wouldn't agree to Vimes

5:06 pm

Kazzer99

that a shame - I think Vimes has a good ring to it for a cat

5:07 pm

Bugsaw

not enuff people over here get the concept

5:08 pm

Kazzer99

its bizarre but i love the idea and it fits with the way i think as well

5:08 pm
