rastapopolous
can you have a singular pajama?
12:22 am
hurshy
apparently yes, cause when i try it it says "not exist in the puzzle" rather than "not in dictionary"
12:23 am
rastapopolous
does it check the dictionary first? Seems like it would be faster to first determine if it's in the puzzle
12:24 am
hurshy
idk but they do have the two diff messages so...
12:27 am

well one does have a pajama party, not a pajamas party

9:15 am
Judi
Uhg. That song is awful.
9:16 am
rururocks
it's derogatory to Italians :D
9:17 am
MollyL
Surprisingly, it does not make several of the Top 50 Worst Songs List. However, We Built This City makes ALL of those lists. : D
9:18 am
rururocks
does abba make the top fifty?
9:18 am
Judi
Ha! Well, there's no accounting for bad taste.
9:19 am
rururocks
I see that lead singer from Journey at the Giant's games all the time
9:20 am
MollyL
No Ru, you are forgetting that strange love of ABBA that so many people have. Most of the lists are based on votes.
9:20 am
MollyL
How did we get to Steve Perry?
9:23 am
Judi
I so much prefer it when we talk about good food rather than bad music.
9:24 am
rururocks
oh.. I confused Steve Perry with built this City.. that was Jefferson (airplane) Starshp
9:25 am
rururocks
that song was kind of hokey like many of the Journey songs
9:29 am
rururocks
ok.. I can talk about food :D
