8:45 am

periwinkle

8:45 am

MollyL

8:46 am

periwinkle

ty found it

8:46 am

MollyL

The devil is described this way in The DaVinci Code

8:47 am

periwinkle

tough grid bbl

9:10 am

hokie carla

thx, molly. nice to get the 9 out of the way first thing

9:13 am

MollyL

O dr9 devil! Oh lame saint! It's an anagram for Leonardo da Vinci The Mona Lisa. But I would never have figured that out. Robert Langdon is such a stud.

9:15 am

hokie carla

I recently watched a newer Langdon movie with Felicity Jones that I never remembered existed.

9:16 am

hokie carla

I can't remember what it's called. I have only read The da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons

9:18 am

MollyL

Inferno.

9:18 am

hokie carla

yes, that was it

9:18 am

hokie carla

and "recently" was in the last week, so you'd think I could remember the name

9:20 am

hokie carla

The youngest was signed up for the SAT today. Last Sun he got an email that his testing center was closed. They had told us to watch out for that so it wasn't a surprise. Last night at 10pm he got a text saying the email was an error.

9:21 am

MollyL

I was disappointed they didn't make a film of The Lost Symbol. The next Langdon project is a TV series called Langdon. No Tom Hanks. It focuses on Langdon as a younger man, solving mysteries for the CIA.

9:21 am

hokie carla

He had decided somehow that a week's worth of prep/studying was enough waited until last weekend. So of course once it was supposedly canceled he didn't do anything.

9:21 am

hokie carla

interesting, like the Jack Ryan with Jim from the Office

9:22 am

MollyL

I hate shit like that. An error, sure. Let's call it lack of organization.

9:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, we were scrambling to print out his admission ticket. of course everything that could go wrong with the computer & printer did.

9:23 am

MollyL

Everything needs to be re-organized these days. They can still give the SAT exam. They just have to schedule more sessions with fewer people so they can seat them further apart.

9:24 am

hokie carla

he was scheduled to work today but had traded shifts with someone before the "cancelation"

9:24 am

MollyL

I fixed a laptop problem this morning. I am still bathing in the glory of success.
: D

9:24 am

hokie carla

yeah, the school he is taking it at is huge. I'd guess it's just a matter of finding enough proctors for extra rooms.

9:25 am

hokie carla

well done, always a good feeling

10:31 am

LuvWordGames

10:32 am

hokie carla

10:34 am

hokie carla

phantom native

10:34 am

LuvWordGames

when I saw the clue my mind went to the old ar commercial about the correnthian (sp?) leather seats LOL

10:36 am

hokie carla

haha. don't remember that commercial, but I think it is corinthian. this is close though, also named after a place. wait, is corinthia a place?

10:37 am

hokie carla

I am giving up and going to the list. only 2 6's and 1 7 left, so should be pretty easy finish.

10:38 am

hokie carla

I say that and then get stuck on the first 5 I'm trying to see

10:38 am

LuvWordGames

I don't know how to do tiny urls so if you're curious about the commercial (from the 70's) google corinthian leather and the video for the commerical will come up. Richardo Montalvan was in it and the word just rolled off his tongue

10:39 am

hokie carla

I think I do remember that now!

10:40 am

LuvWordGames

it was an ad for a Chrysler New Yorker

10:41 am

Any clues on the 14 letter word?

2:01 pm

MollyL

14 letter word?

PJDR

lickety says there is a 14 letter word, starting with c0

2:03 pm

PJDR

co

2:05 pm

hurshy

well, the game only goes up to 13, so, it won't count

2:07 pm

hurshy

Rillyashi Maroo is because she's Rilla, and i sometimes zip her up inside my clothes and so she's a Roo, and i'm a star trek fan, and they have the test for command-track cadets, the Kobayashi Maru, and so as with everything, i turned it into a cat thing, Rillyashi Maroo!

2:11 pm

LeslieAnn

now i need to know what that 14 letter word is

2:12 pm

LeslieAnn

a2z list for 14-letter co words is ... extensive

2:12 pm

MollyL

I don't see a 14 letter word in Lickety's list. There is a co5/14 but that would be a five letter word.

2:13 pm

LeslieAnn

ah. thanks molly for pulling me out of that rabbit hole

2:14 pm

MollyL

I figured if Lickety had an extra word, it would have been mentioned by now.

2:15 pm

LeslieAnn

good point, lots of competitive people like me. LONGEST WORD EVER I MUST FIND IT

2:22 pm

MollyL

You're not that competitive. All the competitive people show up at the flip, trying to be THE FIRST to find the long words.

2:29 pm
