CowExploder

12:23 am

cybernan

my gooddness -- is everyone here that young?

12:23 am

CowExploder

except me, apparently

12:24 am

justafreep

It's tricky, nan. Like him.

12:24 am

cybernan

lol freep

12:24 am

CowExploder

that was reverend run

12:25 am

cybernan

reverend run?

12:27 am

CowExploder

wait, does the "sock it to me?" reference mean i'm older or younger than you? after the crook reference

12:27 am

cybernan

I have no idea - you said it

12:28 am

cybernan

I was calling a proper noun -- freep got it (gold star btw)

12:29 am

CowExploder

i was calling a proper noun from the time a famous politician appeared on laugh-in

12:29 am

CowExploder

who i'm pretty sure is the same one you're talking about

12:29 am

justafreep

I mean, they certainly overlap in time

12:30 am

cybernan

didn't know he was on laugh in

12:30 am

I still don't know what Reverend Run has to do with it

12:34 am

justafreep

there's also a famous performer... but her name is actin;;u a word!

12:34 am

cybernan

I don't know what or who Reverend Run is

12:35 am

cybernan

don't know that one, freep

12:35 am

Gillie

I googled him - American rapper, producer, etc.

12:36 am

CowExploder

reverend run was just from "it's tricky"

12:36 am

cybernan

wouldn't know then.

12:36 am

cybernan

I think you have lost us, cow

12:36 am

CowExploder

i'm old

12:37 am

Gillie

12:37 am

cybernan

don't see what tricky dickie has to do with a rapper -- rappers are my grandkid's generation

12:38 am

CowExploder

well thank you, you make me feel young

12:38 am

jessmom

Reverend Run (Run DMC) had a song named It's Tricky

12:40 am

Jacula

12:48 am

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

Pretty columbine, Molly :-)

8:34 am

hokie carla

8:35 am

mael

8:35 am

MollyL

Yes Une. It's time to put away the snow shovels and enjoy the Spring flowers.

hokie carla

hurshy

9:35 am

rururocks

9:36 am

hokie carla

9:36 am

welki

not quite yet - umatilla, oregon

9:36 am

hokie carla

welki!

9:36 am

hokie carla

I have a friend out in Gualala right now. Heard of that ruru?

9:37 am

mael

thanks for the in8!

9:37 am

rururocks

yes.. lovely area.. about three hours from me

9:37 am

MollyL

Something tells me this is not a Saint Teresa crowd

9:38 am

MollyL

Except maybe that statue of her getting it on with the angel ðŸ˜€

9:38 am

hokie carla

ah, thank you wiki. I was actually using an inside in5 as a prefix, not looking for a whole word that means that.

9:38 am

rururocks

i'm not a vi7 hokie

9:39 am

hokie carla

they were in napa for a while and then went to visit family in gualala. beautiful view from the house.

9:40 am

hokie carla

I was raised protestant, therefore I know none of the saints.

9:40 am

rururocks

one of the prettiest areas in the state.. gorgeous and remote there

9:40 am

mael

some us us are recovered catholics :)

9:40 am

rururocks

I'm an atheist so I have no idea about saints

9:40 am

mael

meaning that we have recovered from being raised catholic

9:41 am

rururocks

but i can tell you that Saint Teresa ain't no saint

9:41 am

MollyL

I am a retired Catholic

9:41 am

rururocks

that's a great place to be molly

9:42 am

MollyL

I don't think you ever recover from it. It's in your bloodstream if you were raised in it. I can still say parts of the Latin mass.

9:42 am

hurshy

i object to your "therefore", hokie - i was raised protestant too... AND i bet you know saint patrick at the very least ;)

9:42 am

mael

all I remember about Saint Teresa is that she's the patron saint of headache sufferers

9:42 am

MollyL

Objection sustained.

9:43 am

penquis

i only remember St. Theresa d"Avila, my fifth grade teacher....hello all....

9:43 am

welki

hi pen

9:43 am

mael

we were past vatican II so mass was in italian for me

9:43 am

hokie carla

mr. homie is a recovered/retired catholic. you know, 11 kids, catholic schools, the whole deal. it was a big discussion when his sister got married and asked us to "bring down the gifts". a) no idea what that meant and b) his mother decided since it wasn't the actual body of Christ yet I could touch it.ðŸ™„

9:44 am

MollyL

Remember when nuns used to take male names. My second grade teacher was Sister James Bernard'

9:44 am

hokie carla

hurshy, I almost added, except for St. Patrick!

9:44 am

hokie carla

hey pen

9:44 am

penquis

Sr. St. Arthur was my second grade teacher... ;o)

9:45 am

rururocks

so if sister james became a saint she'd also be a dog?

9:45 am

penquis

hey welki, carla, everyone else....

9:45 am

hurshy

well i have learned a couple of good ones over the years, like St Dymphna, she's the patron saint of mental illness

9:45 am

MollyL

Saint Joan of Arc is well known. As is Saint Valentine.

9:45 am

hurshy

and St Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats, who has the same day as St Patrick

9:45 am

mael

I was an altar girl for a while there, pretty progressive of our small town priest to allow girls by the altar. It just made mass much less boring and he only smacked the boys for being rowdy

9:46 am

hokie carla

wow, that is progressive. mr. homie was an altar boy. he liked being let out of school to do funerals.

9:46 am

penquis

i always wanted to be an altar boy (no altar girls where I grew up)....

9:46 am

MollyL

My father was not a fan of allowing altar girls. We thought it was amusing that not only was there an altar girl in his funeral mass but a woman Coast Guard officer who helped carry his casket at the cemetery.

9:47 am

hokie carla

mael is a lot younger, but I've never heard of altar girls

9:47 am

hurshy

i don't know many kids who would object to being let out of school for any reason

9:47 am

penquis

none in my day...

9:47 am

mael

it was novel in my day and we're talking about the 90s

9:47 am

MollyL

Lightening bolts would have struck the church if they let me be an altar girl.

9:48 am

penquis

heck, i went to Catholic school in the 50s and 60s.... ;o)

9:48 am

mael

I was confirmed and all (because I had to be, thanks mom) but became an atheist soon after

9:49 am

mael

I never quite believed past childhood but was only allowed to stop going to church when I turned 13 or so

9:50 am

rururocks

i got kicked out of sunday school

9:50 am

hokie carla

pen, we are awarding you a small tiara today

9:51 am

penquis

me??

9:51 am

hokie carla

yes, I'll let you try to figure out why

9:52 am

hokie carla

oh, name that british actress in the grid!

9:52 am

hurshy

Helen Mirren

9:52 am

hokie carla

âœ…âœ…âœ…

9:53 am

penquis

ah, i see it....*putting the mini tiara on proudly*....

9:54 am

rururocks

i don't get the tiara.. what am I missing?

9:54 am

penquis

mi avatar is a clue....

9:54 am

hokie carla

I was going to give you one too if you were a vi7. pen is a mainer.

9:55 am

rururocks

oh.... well we bow to that she pays a lot of taxes

9:56 am

hokie carla

anyone finished the V? I still need one.

9:56 am

penquis

gotta support all of our old people....

9:57 am

hokie carla

finally a gray row. no matter it's the 4th which has the least words.

10:00 am

rururocks

found my last a's.. just m's to go

10:00 am

hurshy

tis a weird grid

10:00 am

hokie carla

wow, still have 5 a's left and I'm all out of ideas. need 3 + 2 M's.

10:04 am

hokie carla

yeah, too many duplicate letters going different directions.

10:05 am

hurshy

hmm, mrs. eisenhower counts!

10:05 am

hokie carla

yeah, already had that

10:07 am

hokie carla

stuck at 20 left - A5 E i2 M3 N O2 V M2 T3 - 3-6-7-4 - guess I will look one more time and then get on with my day.

10:07 am

rururocks

there are a few odd m's gotta say that

10:09 am

hokie carla

found an M!

10:09 am

hokie carla

but it wasn't an odd one

10:11 am

rururocks

do you have lucy's friend?

10:11 am

hokie carla

found an A finally

10:11 am

hokie carla

I thought lucy's friend was ethel

10:11 am

rururocks

her last name

10:12 am

hokie carla

aha, thanks

10:12 am

hokie carla

always think of the maids only ðŸ˜

10:12 am

hurshy

3-4-4-3

10:13 am

hokie carla

you just like the palindrome

10:13 am

hokie carla

2-6-5-4

10:13 am

hurshy

well who doesn't like palindromes?

10:13 am

rururocks

0-0-0-0-

10:14 am

hurshy

congrats ru!

10:14 am

hokie carla

nice

10:15 am

rururocks

I shouldn't hyphenate zeroes.. it reminds me of that old asshole

10:17 am

hurshy

do all the Vs relate to each other? the 4 i have do

10:17 am

hokie carla

same

10:17 am

hurshy

oh technically i guess the first one doesn't relate, i assumed it did but on looking it up it is a musical instrument from india

10:17 am

hokie carla

ooh, found another M

10:18 am

hokie carla

well, it relates as far as the 3rd letter is the same in all 4

10:18 am

hurshy

yeah

10:19 am

hokie carla

I have tried a lot of other things there but no go

10:20 am

MollyL

You all are going to get people so confused about Lucy's friend

10:22 am

hokie carla

lol, just looked up the def for ox5. of course.

10:23 am

penquis

10:25 am

hurshy

10:25 am

mael

10:25 am

hokie carla

yep, just did

10:25 am

MollyL

Is Carla having that not so fresh feeling?

10:26 am

hokie carla

I guess the singular ends in -us

10:26 am

Aloyisius

hi everyone.. still doing first pass here

10:26 am

penquis

she looked up ox 5...

10:26 am

rururocks

aren't there strings attached to that feeling?

10:27 am

rururocks

oh arm pits :D

10:27 am

Shirlockc

don't leave us dangling, all tangled up

10:27 am

penquis

hi aloy...

10:27 am

MollyL

Yes, but Michael Jordan can help you with it.

10:28 am

MollyL

Unless you tamp on his feelings.

10:28 am

Aloyisius

hi pen.. your mini tiara is sparkly

10:28 am

rururocks

of course it's brittish

10:28 am

hokie carla

if it's not scottish it's crap!

10:28 am

rururocks

pen's tiara is a nose piercing ring with little diamons

10:28 am

hokie carla

10:29 am

rururocks

two cups of coffee aloy .. i'm wide awake

10:30 am

MollyL

Pen, I wanted to give you a beany with a whirlygig on it. But since Carla is in charge of everything, it was a mini-tiara

10:30 am

hokie carla

ruru, still no help on that missing V?

10:30 am

Aloyisius

ah.. I'm on my second one now; maybe that will help

10:30 am

hokie carla

wow, I'm honored you have put me in charge of everything

10:30 am

penquis

i will take both, thanks....

10:32 am

rururocks

put tin foil on the whirlygig pen and you'll get better reception

10:32 am

penquis

ty for the tip!

10:33 am

hokie carla

reception for what? aliens?

10:33 am

penquis

i try to keep an open mind....and an open channel... ;o)

10:35 am

Aloyisius

10:39 am

moolingwa

hey hoke :)

10:39 am

hokie carla

if you don't mind, can you do the V first? no one will help with my missing one. did you get it and remain secret, hurshy?

10:40 am

hurshy

i have not got it

10:40 am

Aloyisius

lots of leftover potato soup and reubens here

10:40 am

Aloyisius

missing one v also

10:40 am

penquis

same here...

10:41 am

hokie carla

mmm, potato soup sounds good. I'm a bit chilly in my house.

10:41 am

MollyL

Deli Saint Patrick's Day

10:42 am

MollyL

It is not soup weather here. We are in the 60's

10:42 am

Aloyisius

what shocked me was the price of corned beef.. haven't bought it in ages

10:43 am

hokie carla

68 here but I think I'm underdressed. I put on shorts and a tee today since I got really hot on my walk yesterday.

10:43 am

hokie carla

and yes, I am out of my pjs before noon! it's a miracle.

10:44 am

Aloyisius

when I was taking it out of the pot, a small sliver fell off and hubby gasped, "save it.. must be at least $3 worth".. yup

10:46 am

hokie carla

my mom used to make corned beef on toast a lot when I was a kid and we didn't have a lot of money so it must've been cheap then.

10:46 am

Aloyisius

I remember corned beef hash too

10:46 am

hokie carla

when I google that now it's apparently creamed chipped beef on toast.

10:47 am

Aloyisius

good stuff

10:47 am

hurshy

vi6: lots of energy + chef Garten, the barefoot contessa

10:48 am

hokie carla

gracias. I tried that with one less letter.

10:48 am

hokie carla

and the recipes show it's dried beef from a jar so I guess that's why it's cheap. and I don't think I've ever seen dried beef in a jar in a grocery store.

Yes, I'm sure you're right Bugsaw. stupid grid.

6:04 pm

Soodle

You too Bugs. And you, Champ. Iâ€™ve been in the recovery position most of today after St Patricks Day shenanigans.

6:04 pm

Bugsaw

I wondered if you celebrated. Hope you had fun.

6:04 pm

ChampFit

good for you!

6:06 pm

ChampFit

Today the A's are annoying me.

6:06 pm

Soodle

Oh, I sure did, Bugs. It was different this year. I hosted a displaced Ukrainian family for dinner. By golly. They can knock vodka back, those Ukrainians.

6:07 pm

ChampFit

How lovely!

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

How lovely to give them some fun! We are still waiting for huge numbers of them to get here. That culture can party, for sure. Weddings can go on for a week.

6:11 pm

Soodle

It was a very small gesture of solidarity with the awfulness of whatâ€™s happening there. We actually had great fun, despite me not speaking Ukrainian, & their English poor. Google translate came up with some hilarious results!! But I think the evening was a success. (I.e. nobody got food poisoning)

6:12 pm

ChampFit

Enough vodka nd you were probaby both speaking the same language! :)

6:13 pm

Bugsaw

I think your welcoming was all they really needed. Well done.

6:14 pm

Bugsaw

You did tell them you don't celebrate like that every day, I hope!

6:14 pm

Soodle

By the end of the night, Champ, we were speaking in tongues!!!! ðŸ¤£. Iâ€™m finished this grid. Anybody need clues before I turn in?

6:14 pm

What? You just zoom in and FW this sucker? What a woman!

I'm going to the list for my last 28. Thx though.

6:15 pm

I just finished too and must get back to trying to program a new telephone. This one rings nonstop until you get there or throw a shoe at it.

6:15 pm

No no no Champ. Been noodling this bad boy all dayâ€¦.

6:16 pm

Stupid, stupid grid!

6:17 pm
