Considering that I was one of the first to get the 8, my brain isn't working very well
12:38 am
hurshy
interesting note: no gallow, only gallows. BUT, apparently, IF it connected, we COULD have cahoot, not only cahoots!
12:39 am
Gillie
I guess a cahoot is something you have by yourself?
12:39 am
hurshy
cahooting with myself, oh-oh cahooting with myself

harpjane
if you do it with a friend, you can call yourselves Cahooters
12:41 am
cybernan
ok - thought you were in AB
12:41 am
hurshy
and if you open a restaurant called cahooters, and the first two lightbulbs burn out, then the men who come in are going to be sadly disappointed
12:42 am
cybernan
oh - buy those girls another drink!
12:43 am
hurshy

12:44 am

12:44 am
hurshy
i think we have quite enough wacky words without that one, thank you
12:45 am
Gillie
Sorry - the goose is in Wawa. A music professor once had a contest for the most chiasmi (musical representation of the cross) we could find in a work by J.S. Bach, and the prize was a placemat with a picture of the Wawa goose (in full flight).

4:57 am

How did your turkey turn out Matty?
4:58 am
worzel
gallow doesn't exist because gallows is the singular. It's plural is gallowses
4:58 am
mattygroves
It was lovely, actually! I made a rub of butter, fresh rosemary, dried thyme, smoked paprika, a bit of orange rind, garlic, salt and pepper. Put onion and carrot and a bit of water in the bottom of the roasting dish - it came out beautifully
4:58 am
mattygroves
Thank you!
4:59 am
MollyL
Your rub sounds great. I bet it gave the turkey a wonderful flavor. Glad it turned out well.
5:09 am
mattygroves
It did. We had mash, stuffing, honey roast parsnips and carrots, green beans and gravy (and wine)
5:12 am

7:14 am
BzznBea
How about you dinner?
7:29 am
MollyL
It was nice. Not as good as eating at home, but a small way of all of us being together. My son said his restaurant was slammed with take out orders. I was surprised.
7:31 am
MollyL
There was a table for the orders to be picked up in the lobby and there must have been 50 bags on there when we left.
7:31 am
BzznBea
Wow! Did they have a full menu or a limited menu?
7:32 am
MollyL
Full menu and a special Thanksgiving menu. We got a lot of perks. It's nice dining in a restaurant where you son is the Manager. : D
7:32 am

8:30 am
BzznBea
How was your turkey?
8:31 am
hokie carla
turned out good. I ended up moving it to the oven, bag & all because it was taking longer than I thought and I needed the IP for the potatoes. then it puffed up and stuck to the element so that was nice.
8:32 am
BzznBea
Was it a cooking bag?
8:32 am
hokie carla
it was one of those reynold's oven bags for turkeys.
8:34 am
BzznBea
I had my electric roaster plugged into a power strip and it kept going off. Finally moved it to a wall outlet and it worked.

BzznBea
ou6 to make illegal
8:44 am
hokie carla
hmm, not outwag, bichon.
8:44 am
hokie carla

8:46 am
Trifioso
hello friends!
8:46 am
Trifioso
LOVE the dog show! A holiday tradition here
8:47 am
hokie carla

I miss you all, so much. I am a night/weekend babbler only now
8:48 am
hokie carla
I have been grooming Winston myself the whole time, but I don't have a dryer and he's kind of a pain to work with. I should just start using someone else.
8:49 am
Trifioso
i had to give my goats a bath a couple of weeks ago. THAT was a trip.
8:49 am
bichon
Mobile van works well for Marco. Marco's a calm dog.
8:50 am

Winston starts chewing on me
8:50 am

i have a fabulous story from the school yard to share, but it is long. will try to give the reader's digest version.
8:51 am
bichon
When I brush him, I give him a piece of Puparoni
8:51 am
hokie carla
yeah, I sometimes spray that fake PB stuff on the floor, keeps him occupied for about 20 seconds
8:53 am
Trifioso
I have the SWEETEST 12 year old girl in my honors english class. She is still a complete innocent. Recently, my classes read a short story which ended at the climax, concerning a boy who was TERRIFIED of elevators. The students were assigned to retell the story, from a different perspective. This lovely young one chose to write from the perspective of the elevator. First line of her essay: "He was the strangest boy I ever had inside me."
8:53 am
bichon
I never had a dog until my daughter was in high school
8:53 am
Trifioso
I laughed for five straight minutes. She has NO idea what she wrote. none.

Mrs. Sippy!!!! hahahhahahaha
8:56 am
BzznBea
I asked the teacher why she didn't give points for corect cap and punctuation.
8:56 am
jzw
My dyslexic son used autocorrect once in a 5th grade science class. Instead of "the results of the experiment" out came "the results of the excrement".
8:57 am
Scrabbler
Hahaha.
8:57 am
Trifioso
oh dear!!!
8:57 am
BzznBea
Oh, no, jzw. Autocorrect is not a friend.
8:57 am
Trifioso
I voice texted a parent once - I am sorry, I can't tutor on thursday because I have parakeets on fences. What I SAID was parent/teacher conferences.
8:58 am
jzw
His teachers loved it. He was at a special school so they understood. Got an A anyway.
8:58 am
hokie carla
yeah, one of my friends uses voice text a lot and there have been some really funny ones.
8:58 am
Trifioso
that is the best kind of school, where the teachers understand
8:58 am
jzw
Don't like the voice texts!
8:59 am
hokie carla
so gallows can't be singular?
8:59 am
72 Temple Owl
good morning, babblers.
8:59 am
dan2bit
Trif "parakeets on fences" is pretty much every parent/teacher conference I've been to :-)
9:00 am
BzznBea
Gallows is the singular
9:00 am
dan2bit
and if you only speak one language, aren't you a "glot"
9:00 am
hokie carla
that's what I'm discovering
9:00 am
hokie carla
monoglot?
9:01 am
BzznBea
Gallowses is the plural
9:02 am
rururocks
Glot only works with Milk
9:02 am
hokie carla
the number of A's isn't as bad as they are all next to each other.
9:03 am

9:14 am
BzznBea
I thought it was a great clue.

MollyL
It was, it made me think. Much better than *** clues

9:17 am
Trifioso
I cannot budge the a in the bottom left corner. help?
9:17 am
hokie carla
I know scientists are always trying to outlab each other
9:18 am
MollyL
What you are probably saying because you can't find it
9:18 am
Trifioso
okay, got it - thank you for psychic clue. WHY does just asking for a clue so often lead to then getting the word????
9:19 am
Trifioso
I think of it as the "charlie brown football word?
9:19 am
Scrabbler
It is called the Periwinkle Phenomenon.
9:19 am
hokie carla
yeah, I said that earlier (charlie brown)
9:19 am
BzznBea
Just found the golf ball material.
9:20 am
Scrabbler
Golf ball material?
9:20 am
MollyL
It's obscure, I had to look it up
9:21 am
hokie carla
oh, that helped me find the voting thing, which led to the 8
9:21 am
Trifioso
me as well, hokie!
9:21 am
BzznBea
What does one have for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving?

9:23 am
hokie carla
just googled what are golf balls made of. it told me the core is made of rubber and then it is covered in plastic. which is exactly what I thought.
9:23 am
BzznBea
That sounds good. I was also thinking about warming up some stuffing that has sausage in it with a dallop of cranberries on top.
9:23 am
rururocks
finished.. have a great day everyone
9:23 am
MollyL
For lunch today is what my clan refers to as THE sandwich. Turkey, stuffing and cranberry on a home made roll.
9:24 am
hokie carla
bye ru!! well done.
9:24 am
BzznBea
That sounds delish.
9:24 am
BzznBea
I was going to use the stuffing as the bread for my turkey sandwich.
9:26 am
hokie carla
ah, finally monkeyed it. a tree. of course the master gardener would know. :D
9:26 am
hokie carla
I could eat dressing all day. I don't know why I only make it on Thanksgiving.
9:26 am
BzznBea
Speaking of which...I will received my official certification on Tuesday.
9:27 am
hokie carla

9:27 am
BzznBea

The word Blag not allowed :-(
2:24 pm
jbp
there is no singular of where one is hanged allowed... weh
2:24 pm
zoozzoom
I tried that also, Jbp.
2:25 pm
jbp
;-) and no matter how many times I try, turd is not in the grid
2:30 pm
jbp
could anyone clue me the bottom corner A?
2:31 pm
zoozzoom
An expression like when you want to just scream.
2:32 pm
jbp
ty, zz! like Charlie Brown when Lucy moves the football
2:32 pm
zoozzoom
Yes just like that!
2:36 pm
jbp
there is the verb to get rid of (sh++ fly, don't bother me), but it won't take the one who does that action. ;-(
2:37 pm
zoozzoom
This grid seems to be a bit trickier than we have had of late.
2:38 pm
jbp
i concur, zz. maybe it is still my turkey coma wearing off here
2:38 pm
zoozzoom
Hope you had a lovely time though!
2:39 pm
jbp
indeed, thanks. enjoying leftovers today.
2:40 pm
zoozzoom
A bit like bubble & squeak?
2:40 pm
jbp
I know it's not a British holiday, but I wonder if it has asserted/inserted itself along into your culture (the way Halloween has in various places in Europe)
2:41 pm
zoozzoom
Afraid not. Well not that I have noticed. No one here mentions it.
2:41 pm
jbp
wow, I haven't thought about bubble & squeak for years.
My mom always made us sandwiches of the dressing (not stuffing because we don't put the stuff in the bird)
2:42 pm
jbp
IAre you familiar with James Corden? I was watching his show the other night, and he remarked that in England, they have a different name for Thanksgiving. It's called Thursday.
2:44 pm
zoozzoom
When I was little boy my mother used to make us that on a Monday with the leftovers from our Sunday roast. So nice! We were very poor back then haha! Although not that much better off now.
2:45 pm
jbp
My fondest food memories were of stu8ff like that. How we made the most of what was available
2:45 pm
jbp
My sister makes shepherd's pie with the leftovers from Thanksgiving --we're h4eading over there tonight.
2:46 pm
zoozzoom
Yes he is a big star here too. A very funny guy! He was in a show called Gavin & Stacey.
2:46 pm
jbp
I remember that show.
2:46 pm
zoozzoom
ooh sheperds pie! Yummy!
2:46 pm
jbp
i totally love his show. He's brilliant
2:46 pm
zoozzoom
He is a very down to earth person.
2:47 pm
jbp
well, I have a dog who's looking longingly at the leash, so I'm off for now. hope to bbl.
2:47 pm
jbp
Enjoy your day!
2:47 pm

In England, Thanksgiving is called Thursday. I guess that is another way of making fun of those of us in these United States.
