There is also a derisive term for the Irish in this grid, but we don't need to have The Discussion. Words are words. It's whether or not they are used in a bad way that counts.

10:50 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:50 am

hokie carla

actual title "Banana Boat Song"

10:50 am

hurshy

hiya mool

10:50 am

hokie carla

moo!! happy friday(?)

10:50 am

moolingwa

I think it's Friday

10:51 am

hurshy

yes, tis

10:52 am

hokie carla

per wiki, it is about dock workers wanting to have their worked counted so they can go home after their shifts, so not slaves

10:52 am

HarryHood

my parents had lots of harry belafonte records - we used to play them all the time

10:53 am

hurshy

but probably underpaid, exploited, given where bananas grow and what we know about colonialism and racism

10:53 am

moolingwa

131 to go!

10:53 am

hokie carla

traditional Jamaican folk song

10:54 am

hokie carla

pretty much stuck or very very slow at 43 left, here, moo. you'll catch up in no time.

10:55 am

moolingwa

10:56 am

hokie carla

10:56 am

hurshy

phantom: caldron

10:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, caldron has crossed my mind several times

10:57 am

hokie carla

is the single T an everyday word?

10:58 am

rururocks

nope

10:58 am

rururocks

unless you play a lot of music

10:58 am

hokie carla

wow, must be really weird if you're calling it weird

10:58 am

moolingwa

or speak italian

10:59 am

hurshy

it's a babblet we get reasonably often tho

10:59 am

hokie carla

ok, stat please?

10:59 am

MollyL

Wow, is Harry Belafonte now politically incorrect?

11:00 am

hurshy

not at all, molly. i was commenting on the origins of the song, which i gather must have been sung by exploited workers. but that doesn't make it politically incorrect. in fact, one would not wish to squash down the self-expression of oppressed peoples.

11:00 am

hokie carla

oh, anyone NTPN, the crooner?

11:01 am

hurshy

crosby, como, sinatra... hmmm

11:02 am

hokie carla

per wiki he is "the velvet fog" LOL. I just remember him from Night Court - Harry was a huge fan

11:02 am

hurshy

torme!

11:02 am

rururocks

sinatra was politically incorrect

11:02 am

hokie carla

bichon

11:02 am

11:02 am

moolingwa

hoke, please tell us what our contestant has won

11:03 am

hurshy

i won the three dings, silly

11:03 am

hokie carla

I thought you clued it earlier, bichon. someone spelled it out.

11:04 am

hokie carla

no, that was bea at 8:46

11:06 am

hurshy

perhaps you'd like to re-clue it? :D

11:06 am

MollyL

This group gives cheap prizes. No steak knives or sun loving convertible coupes here.

11:06 am

MollyL

Just dings

11:07 am

moolingwa

yay for dings

11:07 am

MollyL

They could at least give out ding-dongs

11:07 am

hurshy

it's because i invented it and i'm all into "the satisfaction of knowing the answer" lol

11:07 am

hokie carla

well, I'd have to open the archive again to get the spelled out clue. someone else (harry maybe) said like the sweater.

11:07 am

moolingwa

at least they're not dingbats

11:08 am

hurshy

sweater... cardigan? no

11:08 am

hokie carla

did anyone ever give the single T stat?

11:08 am

hurshy

te6/21 hoke

11:08 am

hokie carla

no, a soft, fancy sweater. I didn't get it from the sweater clue etiher

11:08 am

hurshy

11:08 am

hurshy

that's closer to being there tho

11:09 am

hurshy

yessss got it

11:09 am

hurshy

thanks

11:09 am

hurshy

it's another new game... follow the thought process, lol

11:10 am

hokie carla

ding ding ding

11:11 am

hurshy

i have 23 left, how bout you ?

11:11 am

hokie carla

got the te. why didn't someone just say it rhymes with the puerto rican boy band?

11:11 am

hokie carla

ha! 41, still 16 4's

11:11 am

hurshy

possibly because we don't know the puerto rican boy band

11:12 am

hokie carla

remad - to get angry at the same thing again

11:12 am

hokie carla

really? Ricky Martin got his start in it.

11:12 am

hurshy

recad - to act like a jerk again

11:12 am

moolingwa

11:14 am

Aloyisius

Aloyisius

11:16 am

Aloyisius

11:16 am

hurshy

:D

11:16 am

Aloyisius

hands tiara to hurshy..

11:16 am

hurshy

burns it up with fiendfyre since it's a horcrux

11:17 am

hurshy

(can you tell i'm nearing the end of my re-read of the HP series?)

11:17 am

moolingwa

no, not at all

11:17 am

Aloyisius

greek to me, but sounds interesting!

11:18 am

hokie carla

aloy, you should read HP series, it's awesome

11:18 am

hokie carla

but now hurshy has spoiled a plot point

11:18 am

Aloyisius

making note..

11:18 am

moolingwa

might as well not read it

11:18 am

hurshy

eh, by the time she makes it that far she won't remember

11:18 am

hokie carla

hmm, did not realize the chewing tobacco was a word

11:19 am

hurshy

i mean i have read the entire book before, but only once, whereas earlier ones i read more than once, and i basically forgot every single thing about book 7.

11:19 am

Aloyisius

so true, so true

11:19 am

hurshy

hokie i found some more D words - sweet

11:19 am

hurshy

hokie i found some more D words - sweet

11:20 am

Aloyisius

fortunately, Kindle has the message: "you purchased this in ..." to let me know I've already read it

11:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, I re-read the earlier ones before like 4-7, so I've read 1 like 4x, 2 3x, etc. I think I read 7 once and listened to the audiobook once.

11:20 am

hurshy

haha

11:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, thank goodness for that, aloy

11:20 am

hurshy

yeah, i think next time i am going to read 5-7, then just 6-7, to get it balanced out, lol

11:21 am

hokie carla

I must've found more D words because now I just need 4, hurshy

11:21 am

hurshy

so you have the sweet ones?

11:21 am

hokie carla

I have one sweet one, homer simpson is a fan

11:22 am

MollyL

As much as some people just love the Harry Potter books, they are not for everyone.

11:22 am

hurshy

no, ones that MEAN sweet

11:22 am

hokie carla

oh, I think they're for everyone :D

11:22 am

rururocks

they're not for transgender people any longer hokie :D

11:22 am

moolingwa

couple more italian words in that one

11:23 am

MollyL

And don't get the Christians started on the Harry Potter books.

11:23 am

hokie carla

that's not all christians

11:23 am

rururocks

shit.. don't get the christians started on anything

11:23 am

hurshy

i'm a christian and i love them. it's only a very small subset that are stupid about it.

11:23 am

hokie carla

the theme is good vs. evil but some idiots are like, ooh, witchcraft, burn them!

11:24 am

hurshy

yes, stupid. no discernment.

11:24 am

moolingwa

ignorance and idiocy is not limited to any subset of humankind

11:24 am

rururocks

or the senate apparently

11:25 am

moolingwa

the senate is political incorrect

11:25 am

hurshy

they're more craven than idiotic

11:25 am

MollyL

Well there are people, Christian and non-Christian who believe that witchcraft is of the devil.

11:25 am

hurshy

can i get help with ad6?

11:26 am

MollyL

ad + person, place or thing

11:26 am

Aloyisius

brb, census at the door

11:26 am

hokie carla

but the good vs. evil message in the books and doing what is right, treating others like you want to be treated, couldn't be more of what christianity should be

11:26 am

hurshy

yes, but as a professor at the Christian college Wheaton in Illinois pointed out, the witchcraft in HP is not like the kind of witchcraft that is frowned upon in the bible

11:26 am

hokie carla

omg, that ad6 always gets us

11:26 am

hurshy

yes it certainly does

11:27 am

moolingwa

I wonder if that's grammatically incorrect

11:28 am

hokie carla

I mean, I looked it up before, seems legit. I just never learned it in English class.

11:28 am

hurshy

the witchcraft in HP does not require calling upon demonic forces. it is a power which simply works, like electricity, and works according to predictable rules which can be studied (hence hogwarts)

11:28 am

MollyL

Good Morning ma'am, I'm with the census. Your name is what? Could you spell that please? A-L-O-Y-I-S-U-S. Well, that is quite the name ma'am.

11:28 am

hokie carla

who here tried yoda JIC?

11:28 am

hurshy

not me, because it's proper :D

11:29 am

hokie carla

so is the chewing tobacco

11:29 am

hurshy

idk what the chewing tobacco is

11:29 am

hokie carla

but apparently that has another meaning

11:29 am

moolingwa

it's tobacco, you chew...hence the term

11:30 am

hokie carla

sk5

11:30 am

hurshy

har har har mool

11:31 am

hokie carla

now just 2 D's left

11:31 am

moolingwa

probably some sort of norwegian fish

11:31 am

moolingwa

I have 2 d's as well, but I feel a little flat about it

11:31 am

hurshy

help with la6/27?

11:31 am

moolingwa

Now with 1d remaining, I'm at the point I think I can complete them

11:32 am

moolingwa

hursh, something a graphical designer might be concerned

11:32 am

moolingwa

with

11:32 am

hurshy

ooh i found it

11:32 am

hurshy

thanks mool

11:33 am

maccafixx

re 7?

11:33 am

hokie carla

something a judge or lawyer would do with a conflict

11:33 am

hurshy

(of interest)

11:33 am

hokie carla

hmm, not getting the graphic designer clue

11:34 am

Aloyisius

back.. phew. When we arrived in Oh., there were at least four census sheets - those workers are trying to be thorough. I had already completed it in Fla... think I got it straightened out. Still wonder what is the purpose of asking your ethnicity. I suppose everyone knows theirs?

11:34 am

moolingwa

think publishing

11:34 am

hurshy

or a newspaper, hokie, they have to figure out the la6 of each page with pics, ads, and columns

11:34 am

hokie carla

ohh, duh

11:35 am

hurshy

aloyisius, the purpose of asking about ethnicity is to help direct funding to groups that need it.

11:35 am

maccafixx

ty!

11:35 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok

11:35 am

hokie carla

I did our census online and then kept getting phone calls. finally called them back and my issue was my college student. I counted him but then I guess the schools turn in a list too?

11:36 am

hokie carla

so no one should show up here

11:37 am

hurshy

i need some more helps - or5 and 7

11:37 am

hurshy

dunno if they are related

11:37 am

hokie carla

I am not on the list so you are asking all ones I didn't know existed ;)

11:37 am

hurshy

:D

11:37 am

hurshy

this will help you muchly then

11:38 am

MollyL

I did my census stuff on line too. I have no interest in people who come knocking on my door.

11:38 am

hurshy

come and knock on our door...

11:38 am

hokie carla

the oldest was going to do that for a job this summer. they pay well, but it kept getting pushed back so he went back to pizza delivery

11:39 am

hurshy

we'll be waiting for you...

11:39 am

Aloyisius

very nice young man, mask on

hokie carla

LOL, I know it's Three's Company, but I I couldn't rem. the next line, sorry, hurshy

11:40 am

hurshy

i don't think anyone remembers the third line

11:41 am

hurshy

i only even know the first ones because of friends, i'm too young to have actually watched Three's Company

11:42 am

hokie carla

so, I guess each OR is from a different tile since I need one from each of those O's

11:42 am

hurshy

yes, same here, and now they are my last two words

11:42 am

hokie carla

I think you're around my age? I certainly watched it, but I know your parents didn't let you watch some things

11:43 am

hurshy

i'm a little bit younger, just a pinch

11:43 am

hurshy

even you i would think would be young, since that means you were 11 when it ended

11:43 am

hokie carla

I also have brothers that are 9 and 4 years older than me so I watched a lot of stuff they watched.

11:44 am

hurshy

ah that makes a diff, i was the oldest

11:44 am

hokie carla

reruns :D

11:44 am

hurshy

of course in those days, even which reruns were on was i think more decided by your local stations?

11:45 am

hurshy

or5 is like the window that sticks out of the roof minus D

11:45 am

Aloyisius

the or7 is from the bottom o.. don't have it but I have the or5

11:46 am

hurshy

ok i morewordsed it - o + the ro6

11:46 am

hokie carla

thx

11:46 am

hurshy

the fat ro6

11:46 am

hokie carla

I am pretty sure Three's Co reruns were on TBS but I could be wrong

11:46 am

moolingwa

yeah, wouldn't have found that one

11:47 am

hokie carla

pompous or bombastic

11:47 am

hokie carla

still 32 left and 14 4's. what a slog

11:47 am

hurshy

we didn't have cable then either. so all we got was NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and then FOX starting around when the simpsons started

11:48 am

hokie carla

I have ur5 and cannot find the other

11:48 am

hurshy

ur6, insert another letter

11:48 am

hokie carla

tried all kinds of things like that but as soon as you said that I saw it

11:48 am

hurshy

my parents did not get cable until at least after i went to college, not sure how long after

11:49 am

hokie carla

we had cable in early 80s I think. definitely had it when MTV started.

11:50 am

hurshy

yeah my mom would have considered it quite a waste of $$

11:51 am

MollyL

Hmm, why did I think Hurshy was WAY older than she is

11:51 am

hurshy

and now i'm thinking about weird al's song about cable tv...
"... now i get to watch the stock report in Korean
midget wrestling on Channel 3
now i'm never gonna leave my apartment
cause there's just so much for me to see!"

11:51 am

hokie carla

I did think she was older than me but not much

11:51 am

hurshy

because i was born an old curmudgeon

11:52 am

hokie carla

I think moo is only 2 years older than me

11:52 am

moolingwa

:)

11:52 am

hokie carla

wanna guess my missing R from 3rd row?

11:52 am

moolingwa

I feel about 30

11:53 am

hokie carla

mentally I feel about 25, physically no more than 75

11:53 am

moolingwa

the 4 letter babblet?

11:53 am

hurshy

the unpronounceable ro4 perhaps (babblet)

11:53 am

hokie carla

eureka!

11:53 am

hokie carla

I usually get that but this was backward

11:53 am

moolingwa

we're pretty good hursh

11:53 am

hokie carla

ok, how about the T above that?

11:53 am

moolingwa

Physically I feel about 35 I guess :)

11:54 am

moolingwa

still need two Ts

11:54 am

moolingwa

so I suspect it's one of those :)

11:54 am

moolingwa

well, not the first one...that would be too easy

11:54 am

hurshy

i had missed the ligament

11:55 am

moolingwa

no, both of mine were easy 4s

11:55 am

hokie carla

eureka!

11:55 am

moolingwa

hursh on a roll...think it might be a kaiser roll, but it could be a bap

11:56 am

hokie carla

some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade

11:56 am

hokie carla

now my remaining tiles all have 2+ left. probably gonna have to list.

11:57 am

hurshy

i got off the Kaiser rolls when i left california

11:57 am

moolingwa

23 left

11:57 am

hurshy

regional joke...

11:57 am

hokie carla

ic4/11

12:09 pm

hokie carla

12:09 pm

cybernan

ty carla

12:09 pm

mael

I also have an ou6/27 that starts with not in

12:10 pm

hokie carla

thx, mael. that's the only one I have

12:10 pm

cybernan

ty mael

12:10 pm

hokie carla

but I struggled with the other 6 word where you switch those 2 words

12:13 pm

cybernan

I have a te 6/21 body part but it doesn't come from the right hand t

12:13 pm

hokie carla

ah, there's a HP word I missed. hurshy could've let me know.

12:14 pm

cybernan

HP ?

12:14 pm

hokie carla

harry potter

12:14 pm

hokie carla

and there's the 2 sweet D words I couldn't see

12:16 pm

hokie carla

and there's a 4 I know I entered

12:17 pm

cybernan

still don't see a te 6/21 coming from that right t

12:17 pm

hokie carla

I was told it was music related.

12:18 pm

hokie carla

are you familiar with the puerto rican boy band that Ricky Martin started in as a kid? rhymes with that. :D

12:18 pm

cybernan

no - have no idea who ricky martin is

12:19 pm

hokie carla

I gave you enough to google. not an easy way to clue it.

12:19 pm

cybernan

you forget carla -- I am well into my 70's -- there weren't any boy bands around until my grandchildren were in their teens! at least we didn't call them that

12:20 pm

gemini_J13

uses all 6 letters in the right top corner

12:22 pm

hokie carla

omg at one of my missing o's

12:22 pm

hokie carla

and I swear I tried one of the others

12:23 pm

cybernan

that would make it either a tr 6/18 or a te 6/24 then?

12:24 pm

cybernan

guess it will have to wait until I list - nothing is making any sense to me

12:24 pm

gemini_J13

te 6/21

12:25 pm

cybernan

ok so it can't use both the u and the d, but must include one of them

12:25 pm

gemini_J13

:)

12:25 pm

cybernan

and it has to include both t's

12:26 pm

hokie carla

embarrassed I missed re6 since I use it all the time

12:27 pm

cybernan

got it - ty -- was thinking a block of 6 letters :)

12:29 pm

cybernan

new one for me -- thought that def would apply to the word soste6

12:29 pm

hokie carla

12:31 pm

hokie carla

12:40 pm

moolingwa

oh, make that 4

12:40 pm

moolingwa

12:41 pm

hokie carla

12:41 pm

moolingwa

yes

12:41 pm

hokie carla

you have better eyes than me

12:41 pm

moolingwa

1:34 pm

MollyL

Every time someone mentions Dan Rather I feel compelled to mention that he was born on Halloween.
: D

1:40 pm

dan2bit

finito! thanks Bea, lickety and all cluers. ad6 was my last

1:42 pm

MollyL

Wow, ad6 was the elusive word for many today.

1:53 pm

cybernan

hi molly - does that mean that everyone born on March 17 is full of blarney?

1:55 pm

cybernan

ca 8 please?

1:57 pm

dan2bit

5:44 pm

penquis

5:44 pm

LeslieAnn

hello, likewise don't have it yet

5:48 pm

hokie carla

like a judge or lawyer would do (n4 form of a verb re6) if they had a conflict

5:48 pm

LeslieAnn

ah thanks carla

5:48 pm

MollyL

re7 is a form of what a judge does to dismiss himself from a case and there Carla clues yet again

5:49 pm

penquis

ty carla, molly....

5:49 pm

hokie carla

had to take a quilting break, my leg is starting to hurt. had to switch to left foot pedaling

5:54 pm

origami

I wish I could sew a straight line. I love quilts.

5:55 pm

LeslieAnn

you could make picasso quilts, which i just made up

5:55 pm

hokie carla

well,I struggle with straight lines, so I usually do free motion quilting

5:55 pm

origami

Now that sounds like it's in my skill set Leslie :D

5:56 pm

LeslieAnn

mmm hmm if anyone criticizes just tell them it's an abstract work

5:56 pm

MollyL

Origami and I come from the same place. I also cannot sew a straight line.

5:57 pm

penquis

i am still afraid of the sewing machine... :o|

5:57 pm

MollyL

And in the brief time I attempted to use sewing machines, they either jammed or quit working as I approached.

5:58 pm

LeslieAnn

well that's just rude on their part

5:58 pm

origami

One of my friends is a very good seamstress and another is an avid quilter. They have both tried to teach me. Most recently one said to me that it would seem I was hopeless.

5:59 pm

MollyL

I think there are some things we are just not meant to do. I am very good at cooking and writing. Sewing has just never been my thing.

6:02 pm

penquis

i have done needlepoint, embroidery, crewel, crocheting and knitting.....no sewing....

6:10 pm

origami

I do crochet.

6:11 pm

penquis

i used to....did a lot of doily type stuff....never enjoyed working with wool....

6:16 pm

MollyL

I tried knitting once. That was a disaster.
: D

6:16 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx for re7!

6:17 pm

penquis

i like that it's portable.....and sometimes pretty mindless if I want it to be....

6:19 pm

origami

I can't knit either. I am just not coordinated enough.

6:21 pm

hokie carla

I learned to cross stitch at bible school when I was a kid. just learned to sew/quilt in the last 10 years. have never knitted, needlepoint, crewel, crochet or anything. those seem hard.

6:23 pm

penquis

knitting can be easy or hard, depending on what you are knitting...

6:25 pm

amelu0218

A friend's mother taught me to crochet 40 years ago... I still do the straight double stitch line but have blankets for all but my youngest grandkids... well, I haven't done one for the great but the boys will need theirs first, lol. Everything else (from cross stitch to French braiding) I taught myself...

6:25 pm

amelu0218

haven't tried knitting altho a dear friend got me a starter kit when I hit 40, lol. Still want to pick that one up.

6:26 pm

penquis

took a workshop in crocheting a rope basket when i was in the Outer Banks last year.....that was fun....

6:27 pm

amelu0218

That would be cool.

6:28 pm

MollyL

Oh my God, French braiding is another thing I never got.

6:28 pm

penquis

it was fun.....can make the baskets different sizes with same technique...

6:29 pm

amelu0218

Molly, I taught myself that (on my own hair, no less) because I determined that if "they" could do it, I could, too... another high school thing...

6:30 pm

MollyL

I admire the dexterity. Also the dexterity of anyone who can do the small, dreadlocks braiding that takes hours.

6:30 pm

amelu0218

Pen, I'll have to look at some examples online. I presume they'd be washable) which would be better than rattan/woven baskets gathering dust, lol. thanks for that thought.

6:31 pm

penquis

can someone please clue the ad 6?

6:32 pm

penquis

if you make them with cotton yarn, then I assume they would be washable....

6:32 pm

amelu0218

Molly, that I cannot do. I have fat fingers, lol. Even with fingernails no joy... If I could, I could make some side $$, I'm sure, lol again.

6:32 pm

Uneaixoise

Ad + not a verb

6:33 pm

amelu0218

my ad6 is opposite of a verb.

6:33 pm

penquis

ty....don't remember seeing that one...

6:35 pm

amelu0218

I swear, I try yoda every single time. I mean, I know but can't help but enter it, lol.

6:36 pm

penquis

i am done....

6:38 pm

amelu0218

yay, pen! enjoy the rest of your day!

6:39 pm

penquis

ty....i am off....goodnight all....

6:55 pm

amelu0218

Ok. Done, not finished but I'm tired of typing the same letter combos over and over... I hate that I didn't even clear 100 but so be it. Everyone have a most wonderful evening (or whatever it is, where ever you are!). To all, please be safe.

6:58 pm
