I am stuckety stuck. I'm still missing the L in the bottom row and the N in the fourth row, middle column. Does anyone have stats, please?
5:59 am
worzel
cant help with either of the bottoms l's tho sorry
5:59 am
mattygroves
Hmmm...I have an ne4/4 but clearly not the right one
6:01 am
worzel
it's ne doubled lol
6:02 am
mattygroves
I have that one - but it's not from that N...it's from the N in the second row
6:02 am
worzel
oh bugger my apologies matt
6:02 am
mattygroves
No worries! I'll keep looking for a word from there :)
6:03 am
worzel
i have ne4/4 (which u have), ni4/4 ni4/5 no4/4 no4/4 so it must be ni
6:03 am
mattygroves
Looking at the list, there's apparently an ne6/18 as well
6:05 am
mattygroves
Found the ne6 - it's not from that N. Sigh.
6:06 am
worzel
matty the n is a plural from an n above it
6:06 am
mattygroves
Oh duh! Hit me with a wet salmon
6:06 am
mattygroves
Thanks
6:07 am
worzel
Salmon's far too expensive - goldfish do you?
6:08 am
mattygroves
Probably needs to be a carp for that transgression
6:18 am
mattygroves
Finally found those Ls with the help of the list
7:37 am

I predict a lot of people are going to be asking for those bottom row L's.

Oh good, Run DMC is here

It is raining so hard here that I was doing 30 in a 55 zone with the wipers on high and still could barely see what was in front of me.

good morning all...
7:53 am
hokie carla
hey pen
7:53 am
penquis
hey carla...
7:56 am
MollyL
One of those b words is a plural that the singular is not in the grid (Obscure clue)
7:56 am
penquis
too many Ls, Ns, and Is in this grid....
7:57 am
hokie carla
too many i's
7:57 am
hokie carla
oh, you said that
7:57 am
penquis
and there are too many "roads" to the S....
7:58 am
MollyL
Those three letters make up more than half the grid. Blech
7:58 am
penquis
my feelings exactly....
8:06 am
mkg
I dont like this g rid at all. Too many i’s is right.
8:13 am
Shirlockc
huh, the brit rainboots are accepted
8:13 am
mael
so's the singular
8:15 am
mkg
What are brit rain boots? Stat please. Ty.
8:16 am
MollyL
Why doesn't the singular end in Y?
8:16 am
mkg
Ty. Dont know the word.
8:16 am
mael
good question, molly
8:16 am
mkg
But got something. Ty.
8:16 am
Shirlockc
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8:17 am
mkg
Any stat and clues for the N last column? Ty
8:17 am
hokie carla
so many english and spanish numbers here!
8:17 am
mkg
What is that shirlock?
8:18 am
penquis
it's a pic of a shrug....clever.....
8:18 am
hokie carla
I think the singular doesn't end in y because the actual word is -ington, so it's a nickname for that
8:18 am
Shirlockc
i was the queen of shrug in slack
8:19 am
mkg
Ok. Interesting.
8:19 am
mkg
So any clues for the N last column? Ty
8:21 am
amandacath
mkg - group of chamber musicians?
8:21 am
mkg
Ty amanda. I am thinking.
8:21 am
penquis
no 5/10....what amanda said....
8:21 am
MollyL
I don't know Carla. The drugs that are in the grid plural are short for a word that ends in zedrine and the singular ends in y
8:22 am
hokie carla
I did try the sing for that one earlier
8:22 am
dauber
One of those is northern Jersey Shore slang for ignorant tourists from New York and north Jersey.
8:22 am
MollyL
It's that peculiarity of the English language to do whatever the hell it wants to do, depending on which way the wind is blowing.
8:22 am
hokie carla
but maybe because it looks like a name
8:23 am
mkg
Not getting the musicians at all. Darn
8:24 am
mkg
Googled and got it. Ty for super clue.
8:24 am
Shirlockc
hence the w8/65
8:25 am
dauber
I think it technically doesn't need to be musicians. The *group* is the important part.
8:25 am
mkg
I believe the inventor of those boots was named this.
8:25 am
MollyL
The definition specifically mentions musicians
8:25 am
mkg
One last missing tile: need stat and hints for the E third column. Ty.
8:26 am
MollyL
Ding! Ding! I called it
8:26 am
penquis
oh that is the dreaded ei 7/8....German fermented drink....
8:27 am
mkg
Ty. Will look for it.
8:28 am
MollyL
Ei7! Ei7! Every evening we drink you!
8:28 am
hokie carla
so multiple nelsons (country singer) are allowed, but not just one
8:29 am
penquis
didn't know you frequented German bars, Molly... ;o)
8:29 am
hokie carla
I guess it's like the creeps
8:29 am
rururocks
you should see her in liederhosen
8:29 am
penquis
it may be one of those ending in Y....
8:29 am
MollyL
Small and white, gets me tight, we are happy to sink you
8:29 am
hokie carla
does it start like a certain genius?
8:29 am

WELL i am lost. Google gave me eipunsh not in grid. No p
8:30 am
dauber
I think it's as in "She gives me the [multiple Nelsons]".
8:30 am
penquis
well it starts with the German word for ice....
8:30 am
hokie carla
can't find anything because I can't get edelweiss out of my head. thanks, molly.
8:30 am
rururocks

I bet I would like those ei8s
8:34 am
MLFAN17
i am not getting it
8:34 am
hokie carla
google what ru said at 8:30
8:34 am
Shirlockc
there are quite a few plurals with the -ies that does not have a singular in this grid
8:34 am
penquis
MLF....homonym for ice wine....
8:35 am
MollyL
Whew, lets just put the word in the chat and be done with it. Yikes
8:35 am
hokie carla
I mean, mkg basically did that
8:36 am
hokie carla

the complaint of the day.... ;o)
8:42 am
MLFAN17
and it will probably continue lol
8:44 am
hokie carla
ooh, just finished the 8s!
8:45 am
dauber
Are there any 8s that don't start with W or E?
8:45 am
hokie carla
one S that rhymes with a W
8:45 am
rururocks
it's a fairly easy grid for me today compared to the last two
8:46 am
dauber
ooh...thanks, hokie!
8:46 am
rururocks
one hint.. put in words that look like they're there and presto they are
8:46 am
hokie carla
I wouldn't call it easier but seems better than the recent ones
8:46 am
hokie carla
I mean, wouldn't call it easy but it is easier than recent
8:46 am
mattygroves
Ru....isn't that how every grid works ... put in a word that looks like it's there and it...is? :D
8:47 am
MLFAN17
2nd column L stats?
8:47 am
penquis
you inspired me, carla....finished the 8s....
8:48 am
hokie carla
woot!
8:49 am
rururocks
more so in this grid matty (at least for me)
8:49 am
mattygroves
Agreed, but it just sounded amusing to my ears...I'm weird that way
8:50 am
rururocks
I still want to know what annoys you in the chat.. someday
8:51 am
hokie carla
do you want to know what annoys me in the chat?
8:51 am
mattygroves
Hahaaa! I'll never tell. I'm sure I annoy people in the chat too. I could even hazard a guess as to what annoys some people :)
8:51 am
mattygroves
Go on Carla, spill!
8:51 am
hokie carla
I better not 😜
8:52 am
Scrabbler
Silly me should have typed ne4 as soon as I looked at the grid. *honk*honk*
8:53 am
hokie carla
haha. I am happy to report I have stopped trying to make that one plural.
8:53 am
rururocks
I keep trying it ... like some grid will accept it
8:54 am
hokie carla
isn't the definition of insanity something like that?
8:54 am
hokie carla
doing the same thing over hoping for a different result
8:55 am
penquis
i think they call it pigheadedness.... ;o)
8:55 am
hokie carla
(I have now tried making the pig word plural twice today)
8:55 am
MollyL
Yes Carla, you and I had this same conversation not long ago.
8:56 am
penquis
i would be in trouble if I was penalized for wrong guesses... :o|
8:57 am
rururocks
shit if we were all penalized for wrong guesses there'd be no rankings at all
8:57 am
hokie carla
we discussed that not long ago too. the game started out only giving you so many wrong guesses.
8:58 am
penquis
i never look at the rankings....they seem meaningless here....
8:58 am
hokie carla
I don't either and agree
8:58 am

9:01 am

I have passed halfway and must get things done before I work in 3 hours.
9:02 am
hokie carla
bye scrabs
9:02 am
hurshy
eh, that's more unset. but in math there's the empty set, that could be a nonset
9:02 am
hokie carla
the 2nd one I have, ron, is a word for drink
9:02 am
penquis
by scrabs....
9:03 am
roncook
got that one that is the third one.
9:03 am
hokie carla
also, I just tried nonsense and it isn't there, so I don't believe ru (also I don't have any 8s left so why am I trying 8s?)
9:04 am
hokie carla
ok, only have one before that, like what a bug bite does, so I guess I'm missing that one.
9:04 am

Sorry, meant the L.....

no, i doubt it, because they wanted her to begin with and she couldn't fit it in to her schedule

10:32 am
hokie carla
which football player did it? I liked him.
10:32 am
hurshy
one had to think Ken Jennings was an obvious choice but i got the feeling he did not want the job
10:32 am
hurshy
Aaron Rodgers
10:32 am
bichon
Yes, and he hosted the Tournament of Champions
10:33 am
hokie carla
oh yeah
10:33 am

but he is still planning to play this season for the packers so
10:33 am

10:50 am
Trifioso
fwiw, i felt that levar needed to dial it back a notch - he was WAY too excited, but otherwise delightful. I would like him to host, if he had some decaf first
10:50 am
Trifioso
hello ruru
10:52 am
rururocks
not sure who levar is
10:55 am
Trifioso
he played the lead role in Roots, and he hosted the PBS show reading rainbow, for years
10:55 am
hurshy
Levar Burton, sometime host of Reading Rainbow, star of Roots, and Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation
10:55 am
Trifioso
he was on star trek, too now that I think of it
10:55 am
hurshy
friend to all, hero to some
10:56 am
rururocks
never heard of him.. none of them I've watched
10:56 am
hurshy
good grief
10:56 am
Trifioso
the blind guy, geordi, I think the name was?
10:57 am
hurshy
see comment below, trif...
10:57 am
Trifioso
oh aplogies, hurshy, i did not see your comment
10:57 am
Trifioso
I ADORE Mayim B - I think she was great, but would not want her to abandon her acting career. She's a wonderful comedic actress
10:58 am
hurshy
well that is apparently how she felt too :D
10:59 am
rururocks
so Mayhem kept you in stitches?
11:00 am
rururocks
or not I guess
11:13 am
periwinkle
hi all. not crazy about Levar Burton but maybe as Trif said if he dialed it back a bit I could tolerate him
11:13 am
MollyL
Oh God, I didn't know Richards was the executive producer of the show and basically nominated himself as Trebek's successor. Sounds like a charming guy...NOT
11:18 am
hurshy
i had already seen him host "Beauty and the Geek" and i feel like you kind of can't host both that and Jeopardy
11:19 am
hurshy
it's unseemly
11:22 am
hurshy
it's kind of like how Bertie Wooster noted, "You can’t be a successful Dictator and design women’s underclothing. One or the other. Not both."
11:22 am
clg47
Bichon - I liked Buzzy Cohen also.
11:23 am

This is great.."Overuse of any punctuation mark tells us something about ourselves, in the same way overuse of any object does. How you punctuate your sentences might have something to do with how you punctuate your life..The exclamation point is the selfie of grammar. " ~Phillip Cowell
11:26 am
clg47
Well on that I have 52 left!
11:26 am
cybernan
good morning - for my 2 cents -- liked Buzzy, Katie and even Ken -- but not Levar Burtion -- thought he was the worst
11:26 am
Trifioso
I liked Buzzy as well! Very retro and cool
11:26 am
Trifioso
JOe Buck was, is, and will always be the worst. At everything
11:27 am
cybernan
Don't remember him, so that may make him 2nd worst
11:27 am
cybernan
The sports announcer was terrible too.
11:27 am
Trifioso
he was the last guest host. they saved the worst for last
11:27 am
cybernan
Sounded like he was calling a hockey game the whole time
11:30 am
rururocks
Joe Buck is nauseating
11:30 am
MollyL
What? No one is rooting for Dr. Oz?
11:31 am
Trifioso
I thought dr oz was mediocre at best.
11:31 am
cybernan
actually, Dr. Oz wasn't too bad if you could get past the fact that it was Dr. Oz announcing
11:31 am
hurshy
which you couldn't
11:31 am
rururocks
*signs Nan up for the Dr. Phil show for extra good measure*
11:31 am
72 Temple Owl
when the world series is on, we turn off the sound and tune in to radio. why? joe buck. he must have some dirt on someone to have had a job all these years.
11:32 am
hurshy
i'd also be fine with them choosing the person Alex apparently had in mind, who is a black woman. i'm assuming she works on the show already.
11:32 am
Trifioso
I thought buzzy was a good mix of insider knowledge of how the game works, personality, and the right level of enthusiasm
11:32 am
Trifioso
oh interesting, hurshy, I hadn't heard that! I only remember him jokingly saying he wanted Betty White to take over
11:32 am
MollyL
We have come a long way from the days of Art Fleming and Don Pardo (all the youngsters say "Huh?")
11:34 am
zoozzoom
I am saying. I have not a clue what anyone is talking about. Not heard of any of the names mentioned haha.
11:34 am
MollyL
Laura Coates is one of the people Trebek wanted to replace him.
11:35 am
rururocks
I'm with you Zooz.. not one of them ring a bell to me
11:35 am
MollyL
We are talking about a US TV game show called Jeopardy and who will take over as host.
11:36 am
Uneaixoise
I thought Mayim did a great job!
11:37 am
zoozzoom
Oh I see. I only once saw a snippet of it on a youtube channel where a lady was deliberately getting questions wrong so another ex service person could wins some money. It might even be a different program come to think of it.
11:37 am
MollyL
I'm kind of amazed that Stephanopoulos was a contender
11:38 am
zoozzoom
Back to the grid for me haha!

11:46 am
hokie carla
didn't know Joe Buck did Jeopardy. my only issue with him is when I see him. he doesn't match his voice.
11:46 am
72 Temple Owl
it's all about him. his commentary is inane
11:47 am
Trifioso
joe buck is so awful. I love jeopardy - its a comforting constant in life, isn't it?
11:48 am
hokie carla
I thought Dick Vitale had the patent on inane commentary

we visited a farmgate winery in Oliver once, owned by an Italian gentleman We mentioned that we had been tasting white wines at Tinhorn Creek. His reply was that he could give us wine like that -- he would just add water to his dry white. :)

reading back, i think david faber was great on jeopardy
1:43 pm
welki
and trif, if you come back, please tell us that jane eyre character you referred to yesterday
1:44 pm
BzznBea
Afternoon, welki.
1:51 pm
hurshy
well lots of us can tell you about Jane Eyre
1:55 pm
welki
hi bea, hurshy - trif said there was a "non-titular" character name from an 1847 bronte novel in yesterday's puzzle
1:56 pm
hurshy
yeah, so that would NOT be Jane Eyre
1:56 pm
hurshy
and if Eyre had been in the grid, it would count, because it does, so it wouldn't have been usable in Name That Proper Noun
1:58 pm
MollyL
Thank you Welki, I was wondering about that too
1:58 pm
hurshy
it could be from Wuthering Heights, that was also 1847
1:59 pm
hurshy
yes, Linton was in the grid yesterday
2:00 pm
hurshy
Catherine Linton from Wuthering Heights
2:02 pm
MollyL
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment of "Ask The Bronte Expert".
2:08 pm
BzznBea
I just can't seem to get into this grid today.
2:11 pm
hokie carla
I'm still trying to figure out the bottom Ls. saw hurshy's clue about fabric spelled differently and I have tried every which way but right.
2:13 pm
hurshy
we have it frequently
2:13 pm
hokie carla
I guess I hadn't 🤣
2:13 pm
hurshy
i'm not a bronte expert, i just looked things up lol
2:14 pm
hurshy
i know Jane Eyre better than Wuthering Heights though
2:14 pm
hokie carla
I don't remember ever seeing it, but maybe I never thought of it in this context before.
2:14 pm
hurshy
well that li5 isn't related to what we were talking about, Linton being in yesterday's grid
2:14 pm
hokie carla
now need 3 G for bottom row
2:15 pm
hurshy
they just were two separate topics of conversation that both happened to start with Li
2:15 pm
hokie carla
no, I'm having my own convo
2:15 pm
hokie carla
so the li5 is not here frequently, that comment was for linton?
2:15 pm
hurshy
G words are not bad, 4s and 5s, one 6 that's a plural
2:16 pm
hurshy
no, that comment WAS for li5, i feel that we have it frequently
2:16 pm
hurshy
for G you have to remember to do the latin plural of Einsteins and Hawkings
2:16 pm
hurshy
and cut the "ic" of the adjective that describes your DNA
2:18 pm
hokie carla
didn't have the book/movie category
2:18 pm
hokie carla
or the weird plural
2:19 pm
BzznBea
I am totally lost on the L clues, but getting the G's.
2:19 pm
hokie carla
I guess my last one is your DNA thing but I'm lost on that clue
2:20 pm
BzznBea
Like ge4/5?
2:20 pm
hokie carla
I have a ge4/5 but not sure what the -ic thing is
2:21 pm
BzznBea
ge + fish trap?
2:21 pm
hokie carla
ah, thx
2:22 pm
hokie carla
had generic stuck in my brain, which doesn't relate to those words
2:24 pm
hokie carla
oh, bottom row gray!
2:26 pm
hokie carla
just need 1 L to gray 5th col
2:32 pm
BzznBea
do you have the le7.44
2:34 pm
hurshy
your DNA is your *****ic makeup
2:34 pm
hurshy
it's an odd 5
2:35 pm
hurshy
oh i guess you got it
2:35 pm
hokie carla
I think you aren't auto refreshing again
2:35 pm
hurshy
no, i just skimmed and missed where you got it
2:35 pm
hokie carla
is the le7 weird? does it relate to a body part?
2:35 pm
hurshy
it is a bit weird
2:36 pm
hurshy
idk what it means but is plural of Author Carroll
2:36 pm
hokie carla
oh, didn't have but I was looking for a 5th col L. thx bea & hurshy
2:36 pm
hurshy
Carroll & Hamilton are both le7, lol
2:37 pm
hurshy
ah, it is a device for lifting a dressed stone, silly me
2:41 pm
joym999
hamilton?
2:42 pm
joym999
wasn't his first name Alexander?
2:43 pm
hokie carla
must be a different one
2:44 pm
joym999
odd that "nada" is in the dict but not "rien"
2:50 pm
mab
and sherry le7... maybe lambchop too. not sure.
3:00 pm
joym999
someone said earlier that there's an ni 4,5 but I'm not seeing how that's possible
3:02 pm
joym999
Maybe they meant an ni4/5 combo
3:11 pm
joym999
Is there an li 7?
3:11 pm
joym999
No bento boxes for lunch today
3:11 pm
BzznBea

3:12 pm
BzznBea
I tried BEnto too. I've been buying them for the grandkids starting school.
3:13 pm
BzznBea

3:13 pm
joym999
I would have loved one when I was a kid
3:15 pm
joym999
Bea, does it start with "not true?"
3:17 pm
BzznBea
Yes, and ends with most of the Loch monster with a cons in the middle.
3:17 pm
BzznBea
For the 7
3:22 pm
hokie carla
is bento, not Bento?
3:22 pm
hokie carla
and I don't know why I put that comma
3:27 pm
hokie carla

3:29 pm
hokie carla
oh, bento is not proper, just a Japanese word.
3:38 pm
hokie carla

ItalianGreyhound
Bs can be like Ks sometimes
6:56 pm
