10:43 am

MollyL

Words like that ha5 and people claim this grid was "easy-peasy"? Sure.

10:47 am

rururocks

it is an easy grid.. .for lituanians

11:00 am

MollyL

Silly me, I keep forgetting we must be well versed in "only certain" foreign words and almost all, obscure foreign currencies. Not to mention obscure mammals, birds, water creatures and shrubbery.

11:06 am

afternoon all! shouldn't 1000 head of egg layers be a kilohen?

11:37 am

rururocks

wow..i'm shellshocked with that comment

11:37 am

dan2bit

it's yust a yolk

11:38 am

rururocks

it cracked me up however

11:38 am

dan2bit

at least it went over easy

11:38 am

rururocks

Now I'm going to have to scramble for puns

11:39 am

dan2bit

don't let anybody poach 'em

11:39 am

rururocks

it's more likely they'll soufflÃ© with all the bad jokes

11:41 am

rururocks

someone will likely come up with some kind of hard-boiled answer

11:41 am

dan2bit

they'll definitely hatch something

11:42 am

rururocks

only if they're coddled

11:42 am

dan2bit

this whole discussion is quite a feather in your cap ruru

11:44 am

dan2bit

or have you just been winging it?

11:44 am

jimmel

Benedict would approve!

11:44 am

dan2bit

that really takes me back to my Holland days

11:47 am

rururocks

I am rarely beaten at punning

11:48 am

davurs

Surely you can hatch some more ruru

11:49 am

dan2bit

we usually whisk you off to the winner's circle. you really pullet off

11:49 am

rururocks

We should put all these puns in an Albumen

11:49 am

lbelle

you folks all deserve a big ova-tion

11:50 am

rururocks

Some Christian players will think we're deviled

11:50 am

mo

I think I must scramble now!

11:51 am

dan2bit

quiche in touch, mo!

11:51 am

rururocks

Don't worry Mo.. we're all doing the huevo lifting here

11:51 am

mo

please don't egg me on'

11:52 am

rururocks

sure.. we'll try not to piss you ouef

11:54 am

mo

lol. I am beaten now.

11:55 am

MollyL

Not to intrude on The Byzantine's litany of bad jokes, but...Why do the French never order a three-egg omelette? Because one egg is an ouef.

11:55 am

dan2bit

sorry to lay all these on you

11:56 am

rururocks

you never miss these jokes until they're zabaglione

11:57 am

rubyfoo

moillty, l've been wanting to put that joke in here forever, but l didn't think anybody would get it

11:57 am

rururocks

I was afraid I wasn't going to pullet that one off

11:58 am

MollyL

Such a hard-boiled crowd here.

11:58 am

dan2bit

some tough nog-gins in this flock

11:58 am

MollyL

Ruby, it had to be in the egg pun chain to make sense, if it did.

11:59 am

mo

that was great fun,but sadly I must chuck in the towel and wend my way to the kitchen. bye ....

11:59 am

MollyL

For those still wondering..."an ouef" sounds like "enough"

11:59 am

rubyfoo

as Annie Wilkes said in Misery; Cock-a-doody

12:00 pm

MollyL

Great movie. "He didn't get out of the cock-a-doody car!!!"

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

I,watched it again last night, well-worth a second look

12:02 pm

MollyL

I'm a big Stephen King fan. Saw the new "It" movie recently. I have mixed feelings about it.

12:02 pm

dan2bit

12:03 pm

ChampFit

12:12 pm

dan2bit

ha5?

12:15 pm

MollyL

Ru clued it earlier

12:20 pm

rururocks

wow.. the animal rescue organization I work with in Napa just rescued 250 pets from Houston and had them flown in to foster homes and safety

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

Wow. Much rescue. Very love. (quoth DOGE)

12:23 pm

rururocks

72 arrived in the East bay and went out to homes to be adopted soon

12:29 pm

MollyL

It's nice that there are volunteers to make sure that animals affected by severe weather land in safe, loving homes.

12:29 pm

rururocks

They do such great work

12:37 pm

dan2bit

ty ruru and all cluers - firewords!

1:24 pm

MollyL

I watched the Steve Jobs movie last night with some friends. Wow, what a nutcase Jobs was. No wonder Macintosh computers are so weird.

1:25 pm

ChampFit

Agreed. It was an interesting movie.

1:39 pm

rururocks

He was a mean person

1:41 pm

MollyL

He was a narcissist, times ten.

1:42 pm

rururocks

That too

1:42 pm

mattygroves

Fun fact, he spent a semester (I think) at the university I went to (first time around). So did Stephen King's daughter, come to that.

1:53 pm

rururocks

Speaking of they already have halloween stuff out here

2:27 pm

hoyamd

FW

2:29 pm

MollyL

Halloween stuff hits the stores here right after the back to school stuff is no longer necessary. Who buys Halloween candy a month ahead of time?

2:30 pm

MollyL

Here kids, have some stale Halloween candy. Please feel free to egg and toilet paper my house.

3:25 pm

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos!

4:15 pm

zoozzoom

Happy babbling everyone!

4:23 pm

hoyamd

quiet day today!

4:32 pm

rururocks

it's always quiet with small grids.. people finish and do other things

4:38 pm

MollyL

And most of the chat now is clue requests.

4:39 pm

MollyL

Which makes some people turn chat off, because they like to find words on their own.

5:08 pm

rururocks

61 lurkers with the chat off as we speak

5:09 pm

Buggie

my chat isn't off ^^

5:09 pm

rururocks

(revised) 60 lurkers with the chat turned off

5:10 pm

Buggie

mind you, babble often stays open in a forgotten tab all day long

5:11 pm

Buggie

I rarely finish a grid, so I come back to it now and again during the day

5:12 pm

rururocks

I suspect a lot of people forget to turn off the tab

5:13 pm

Buggie

I don't actually see how you can turn it off. You can go into a different tab, but you're still marked as being here

5:13 pm

rururocks

i meant turn off the game.. I'm sorry

5:14 pm

Buggie

oh right

5:14 pm

Buggie

this grid is really hard

5:16 pm

rururocks

it is hard.. but it's easy-peasy to others.. or at least not troublesome

5:17 pm

Buggie

I did get a 7 letter word though. I put in a French word because I could see it, I had no idea it was actually used in English

5:18 pm

rururocks

well.. if you pool your French thoughts it is there

5:18 pm

Buggie

haha

5:19 pm

MollyL

I never log out of Babble. I think other people do the same. Therefore, it always looks like I am here.

5:20 pm

jubi

Does it mean the same thing in French?

5:21 pm

Buggie

according to the English dictionary, no

5:22 pm

MollyL

The pi7 is Latin. I think the ac7 is too.

5:35 pm

MollyL

It seems many languages have words built on Latin predecessors.

5:36 pm

Buggie

a lot of the Latin in English comes from French

5:36 pm

Buggie

however that's one word that's come to mean two very different things

6:27 pm

penquis

i am done....for the record, i did not like this grid at all...too many weird words...

6:29 pm

Buggie

just finished too, and I agree

6:40 pm
