With words like those st7 I am not agreeing that this is an "easy" grid. But then I rarely think they are easy.

11:19 am

11:25 am
penquis
it's a tough grid...
11:26 am
penquis
i still have 46 to find...
11:26 am
hokie carla
not too bad, actually. I've just been looking at these tiles too much and if it's not a 4 I'm not going to stumble onto it.
11:27 am

Bullwinkle is my go-to icon :D
11:27 am

11:29 am

yes, i loved Bullwinkle and Rocky....and Boris Badenov and Natasha....
11:29 am
penquis
i don't have any SH words...
11:29 am
hokie carla
oh, found the S
11:30 am
MollyL
Rocky and Bullwinkle have a cult-like following.
11:30 am
hokie carla
of course the s was scottish
11:30 am
hokie carla
that I've never seen before
11:30 am
hokie carla
now just T6 left
11:31 am
penquis
second row T?
11:31 am

Funny how you remembered Boris's last name but not Natasha's.
11:32 am
penquis
yes...i was thinking the same thing...don't remember Natasha's last name...
11:32 am
origami
I don't remember it either.
11:32 am
hokie carla
I'm pretty sure it was russian
11:33 am
penquis
ah yes....that should have been pretty easy to recall....
11:33 am

They worked for The Fearless Leader and Mr. Big
11:33 am

One of my favorite parts of the show was Fractured Fairytales.

And then there was Mr. Peabody & Shermanb
11:38 am

11:39 am

You must pay the rent!
11:44 am

"You must pay the rent!"...."I can't pay the rent!"..."I'll pay the rent!"....

I think it predates Dudley, Snidely, and Nell, though.
11:48 am

oh probably....but it fit the cartoon characters....
11:49 am

Absolutely.

If anyone is interested in a short series (7 episodes) spooky show, "Midnight Mass" on Netflix is pretty good.
12:11 pm
origami
I watched that show, Molly, and enjoyed it.
12:13 pm
Sophie512
I like mysteries, but not really spooky or bloody stuff. Mostly, British people killing other British people. Amazon prime and Britbox.
12:20 pm
MollyL
I am not a fan of Brit TV.
12:23 pm
Sophie512
I don't care for their idea of comedy
12:38 pm
origami
I like British mysteries, but am also not a fan of their comedies.
12:56 pm
vashongin
I love brit box....I like "Mock the News" and mysteries
1:22 pm
hokie carla
I just saw Midnight Mass trailer last night and thought it looked good. Was that the kid (QB1) from Fri Night Lights? and I got the impression it's Stephen King?
1:24 pm
hokie carla
and I love British mysteries. the comedies I've watched are good, I just don't think it's the best thing ever like some people.
1:28 pm
MollyL
Yes it's Zach Gilford from Friday Night Lights, no it's not Stephen King
1:33 pm
MollyL
The guy who plays Zach Gilford's father is Henry Thomas from ET, all grown up.
1:41 pm
hokie carla
oh, I don't think I saw him in the trailer. gosh I feel old.
1:41 pm
hokie carla
even though HT is older than me
2:00 pm
zoozzoom
I am sure it is called Mock The Week, Vashongin. And you are right it is a very funny series.
2:01 pm
zoozzoom
And I should of checked the time stamp to realise you posted that over an hour a go haha!
2:14 pm
zoozzoom
I would agree comedy from different countries are not received the same way. I found quite some time a go a youtube video of Stephen Fry explaining why he thinks the reason behind it is. It really is worth a look when whom ever get the chance to look it up. I feel he describes it probably better than anyone. Especially me. Just look up.. Stephen Fry American comedy vs British comedy.
2:15 pm
zoozzoom
It is not too long a video. Probably about eight minutes or so.
2:32 pm
zoozzoom
Fireworks for me. Happy babbling everyone!
2:43 pm
hurshy
idk, i find that i like some british comedy and not other british comedy, which is the same as i feel about american comedy.
2:45 pm

hi all. slow going here for me

Kaplan the Magne
I like Opera. I like Soap Opera. I like The Nanny. Who's to say what's high culture and low culture.
2:54 pm
hurshy
how are you otherwise, peri? :)
2:55 pm
mael
I like a bit of everything
2:55 pm
mael
except jazz, alas
2:56 pm
hurshy
oh i like jazz now and then. it's heavy metal i can't really do.
2:56 pm
mael
I love heavy metal :)
2:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
All jazz? There are so many different artists. Not Miles Davis? Not Louis Armstrong? Not Ella Fitzgerald? Not Chet Baker? Not Benny Goodman?
2:57 pm
mael
maybe a little ella fitzgerald, but only a very little
2:58 pm
mael
I also hate most country music but love folk, so I'm just weird
2:58 pm
hurshy
no i feel the same way on that one, mael
2:58 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's like the people say they hate country and wipe out Johnny Cash and Hank Williams and Emmylou Harris in one fell swoop, as I call it.
2:58 pm
mael
true, I love johnny cash
2:58 pm
mael
it's modern country I don't like, in general
2:58 pm
hurshy
i like folk and bluegrass
2:58 pm
hurshy
but not a lot of modern country
2:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I thought I hated country music, but then realized the intersectionality with folk, blues, jazz, and particular American heritage. But maybe not Taylor Swift.
3:00 pm
hurshy
there is this one country song i do like, called "Little Bitty". i think it's Alan Jackson?
3:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have found Celtic music and bluegrass boring in the same way but my son-in-law plays bluegrass and it gives me a new take on things.
3:00 pm
mael
I actually don't mind some taylor swift, she hits more the folk than the country for me
3:00 pm
mael
I like celtic music a lot
3:00 pm
mael
which is where a lot of folk draws its inspiration
3:01 pm
mael
if you've never listened to dave carter and tracy grammer I truly recommend them
3:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's like rap- there are good rap and commercial exploitive rap, and one has to distinguish the artists rather than diss the whole genre, which is somewhat racist.
3:01 pm
hurshy
phantoms: murmur, turret
3:01 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Taylor Swift is another story.
3:02 pm
mael
I'd say it was less racist and more misogynistic, as a whole
3:02 pm
mael
but I do enjoy some rap, understanding its flaws
3:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Love or hate Glen Campbell? Love or hate disco? Ready to throw Gloria Gaynor in the basket? What would we do without I Will Survive?
3:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I mean a blanket dismissal of all rap is somewhat racist.
3:03 pm
mael
oh I love disco, no argument there
3:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's Raining men. And where would we be without YMCA?
3:04 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I miss the gym.
3:04 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I even like some Eminem. And as I said, I like opera.
3:05 pm
mael
it's really mostly jazz that I find so dissonant
3:05 pm
Kaplan the Magne
And Fran Drescher, who brought us Sylvia, Morty and Yetta, and the old Flushing.
3:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I have a client in a minute. Let's just say my tastes are catholic, even though I'm Jewish.
3:07 pm
mael
I was raised catholic and my tastes are anything but
3:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Mael, I think you don't like Bebop- cool , like Coltraine.
3:08 pm
mael
probably? I feel like I don't even have the vocabulary to describe what I don't like, music has never been my strong suit even if I enjoy it
3:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It gets very chaotic if you're not into it. Listen to Nina Simone.
3:09 pm
mael
I guess what I like of Nina simone is mostly blues, or folky
3:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It's just an American art form with many sources, from New Orleans onward.
3:09 pm
Kaplan the Magne
She's so passionate. Watch the documentary What Happened Miss Simone? on Netflix I think
3:10 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Bye now
3:10 pm
hurshy
mael, i believe Kaplan was earlier trying to say that a blanket dismissal of all rap is what's racist, not that rap is racist. whereas your point about misogyny is about rap itself. :)
3:10 pm
mael
right hurshy!
3:10 pm
hurshy
oh i see kap explained it too haha
3:11 pm
hurshy
ok now to find these last 4 words
3:11 pm
