Good morning everyone. :) 31 words in NBT/NBS :)

7:18 am

Smdnjv

Sorry to interrupt the chat but what is NBT/NBS and how do you achieve that status? Please pardon my ignoranci.

7:20 am

crosshair

No blank tiles and no blank stats. You get the former by finding at least one word for each tile stat, and the latter by finding one word for each worrd length grouping.

7:22 am

crosshair

It is not a nessasary thing, but is more of a opening ritual for me than anything else. :)

7:23 am

was that some kind of spam?

12:23 pm

MollyL

Who knows? People claim it is their cat walking across a keyboard, but sometimes I think it is done intentionally by some bored teenager.

12:35 pm

hokie carla

Oh, that does look like someone was walking on the keyboard. I thought it was an actual link at first.

12:51 pm

origami

my cat did do that once. And she's not a bored teenager.

12:56 pm

MollyL

I'm not saying that it is not cats...sometimes. Other times I think it is something else.

1:08 pm

MLFAN17

hi origami

1:08 pm

Hi Fan

1:30 pm

origami

The odds of that one being a cat are slim to none. It started with "Qwerty"

1:46 pm

hokie carla

maybe a mouse then. lol.

1:53 pm

MollyL

Well, if it was a mouse, it knew how to step on every key on the keyboard sequentially from left to right, starting with Q and ending with /. Smart mouse.

2:02 pm

Deeha

I have a book, written in 30's, by Don Marquis. And it is stories/poems written by a cockroach who climbed the typewriter and leapt off onto a key. Its very funny and worth a read if copies can still be bought

I remember that... Archy and Mehitabel the cat.

i cast an in-person absentee ballot in the Democratic Primary today, as i'll be in Rotterdam on the day of the actual vote.

2:22 pm

In DC, or in VA?

2:22 pm

cybernan

hello everyone -- getting rid of a troll?

2:32 pm

dcseain

In Loudoun County, VA. Actual primary is on 3 March

2:35 pm

cybernan

pleasure trip seain?

2:43 pm

hokie carla

we have early voting here in NC

2:55 pm

dcseain

yes. I'm going to attend Filmapalooza 2020.

2:55 pm

cybernan

some sort of film festival I assume?

2:58 pm

dcseain

Yes, international city winners from global 48 Hour Film Projects.

3:00 pm

cybernan

are you involved with a group of film makers?

3:01 pm

dcseain

Yes. Discordian Films. We won the Baltimore competition last year.

3:02 pm

cybernan

wow - congrats! - hope you do well in Rotterdam :)

3:02 pm

cybernan

what is the subject of your film?

3:03 pm

dcseain

The Telltale Plant is the title. It's The Telltale Heart retold a la Psycho. In three minutes.

3:03 pm

dcseain

We had to have a plant (dead or alive) in the film.

3:07 pm

cybernan

it was a rather weird tale to begin with wasn't it?

3:09 pm

dcseain

yes, yes it was. This time, spider plant.

3:12 pm

cybernan

well - good luck -- I have never read Tell-Tale Heart -- the abstract was enough to turn me off.

3:13 pm

hokie carla

Good luck, sounds awesome!

3:13 pm

hokie carla

Pretty sure I read Tell-Tale Heart in high school.

3:14 pm

cybernan

words that begin with vowels should be banned

3:15 pm

dcseain

We learn all the John Phillip Sousa and read all the Edgar Allen Poe in school around here.

3:15 pm

hokie carla

I could get on board with the vowels ban, though I did much better with today's vowel-starting words.

3:17 pm

cybernan

as you can imagine, Poe doesn't receive the same level of importance in Canadian lit courses :)

3:18 pm

cybernan

we read more Robert Frost than Poe in school --- and a lot of British poets and authors

3:19 pm

dcseain

true, though i live near Baltimore, so there Poe is. :)

3:20 pm

cybernan

and certainly nothing too violent and absolutely nothing with sex in it!

3:22 pm

dcseain

we saw the 1968 Romeo and Juliet film in 9th grade.

3:23 pm

hokie carla

We watched it in HS too, but I don't rem. which grade. You have a better memory than I!

3:23 pm

cybernan

we had to read the play, and we did the prologue to the canterbury tales in grade 12, but the tales themselves were considered unsuitable for 17 year olds (especially the wife of bath!)

3:36 pm

cybernan

oa 5 please?

3:37 pm

cybernan

or the oi 5?

3:39 pm

cybernan

found the oi

3:52 pm

hokie carla

oa is most of the shape bread is baked in

3:58 pm

Gillie

My mother took me to see that Romeo and Juliet (I think) when I was in high school, but Juliet's nipples had been blurred. Not Romeo's ass, though, as I recall.

4:05 pm

cybernan

ty carla

4:05 pm

Gillie

I read some of the Canterbury tales, including the Wife of Bath's, my first year in university, in a class taught by a teacher who also brought in some of the Earl of Rochester's "pornographic" poetry, but he didn't let us keep that.

4:10 pm

cybernan

yes - we also read some of the tales in university

4:11 pm

cybernan

I think the innocence of children was much more protected in the 40's and 50's than it is now

4:12 pm

Gillie

This was the 80's.

4:12 pm

dcseain

We read the first three of the Tales of Canterbury in the third year of highschool in humanities in the late 1980s.

4:15 pm

Gillie

My last couple of years in high school, they seemed to be in the process of converting the English classes into a weird combination of literature and family education. I had to write an essay citing both King Lear and various pop-sci articles on child rearing. (This was in Alberta, so maybe a bit different from elsewhere in Canada.)

4:28 pm

cybernan

either that or you are a lot younger than me, gillie

4:30 pm

cybernan

hahaha, dorens! :D

6:58 pm

LeslieAnn

7:01 pm

MollyL

If he reads the first row he is a sawer guy. If he reads the first column he is a snavel guy. I would not like someone reading this grid over my shoulder while I played.
