terror is another of my phantoms...

12:34 am

hokie carla

12:35 am

justafreep

That sounds like an autobiography title. "Terror Was My Phantom"

12:35 am

penquis

LOL....

12:36 am

hokie carla

I tell you, I retanned so much when I was younger that now I'm covered in brown and white sun spots. so retan is a word is what I'm saying.

12:44 am

justafreep

First draft title: Either Terror or Horror Was My Phantom

12:44 am

penquis

yup...

12:46 am

penquis

marionette is another phantom for me...

12:46 am

hokie carla

I like how we keep throwing harder phantoms to freep to fit in the title

12:47 am

justafreep

pen's just pulling my strings now

12:47 am

penquis

heh heh...

12:47 am

hokie carla

12:52 am

penquis

12:52 am

hokie carla

I have a UL4/5 that I don't really consider a babblet

12:53 am

hokie carla

is that an i or an L?

12:53 am

penquis

found four of those Is.....I as in IN.....now I have all but one of them....

12:53 am

hokie carla

I still need 3 there

12:54 am

penquis

then you don't have the babblets...the U babblets...

12:54 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

12:54 am

penquis

12:56 am

justafreep

I have an re5 from the right R

12:56 am

penquis

12:57 am

hokie carla

ah, got the 5, thanks, freep

12:57 am

penquis

12:57 am

hokie carla

HOET!

12:58 am

My Wordle streak has ended at 75. Damn!

8:48 am

LuvWordGames

So it's a tough one today?

8:49 am

LuvWordGames

That's a long streak

8:49 am

BzznBea

Yes. I had the last 4 at the third try. Too many choices for the first letter.

8:50 am

LuvWordGames

ugh, I hate when that happens, I think my streak ended a while ago because of that same situation

8:51 am

Uneaixoise

One who waits before jumping in.....

9:00 am

aslindy

thanks une

9:04 am

rururocks

wow.. i just read about the oscar show.. sounds like a few people flew off the handle

9:11 am

BzznBea

Are you referring to Chris and Will Smith?

9:11 am

rururocks

yeah for one

9:12 am

BzznBea

I thi k it was terribly insensitive of Rock.

9:12 am

rururocks

i'm not sure what happened.. is she undergoing cancer treatment?

9:14 am

BzznBea

No, she has alopecia and shaves her head.

9:14 am

rururocks

oh... i didn't know that.. I thought that was her look

9:15 am

sukee

But it was not such a bad joke, he just said she could be GI Jane, did not call for violence especially when Smith laughed at it at first.

9:16 am

sukee

BzznBea...I had the last 4 letters in Wordle this morning after 3 tries and didn't end up getting it in 6

9:17 am

rururocks

you only get six tries?

9:17 am

sukee

Yes

9:18 am

rururocks

it might have been better if Will just flipped him off instead of hitting him

9:18 am

sukee

Yelling and swearing at him was enough

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

Indeed!

9:19 am

sukee

They cut out the hit on the feed I was watching, I just saw the muted language.

9:19 am

rururocks

I thought Amy Schumer was funny

9:20 am

sukee

I always like her

9:20 am

Uneaixoise

Yes!

9:20 am

hokie carla

I saw it on a Japanese feed unmuted. ridiculous.

9:22 am

rururocks

i saw a few clips on you tube this morning.. didn't watch the show.. it doesn't interest me much anymore

9:22 am

sukee

I hate that that is all people are talking about, there were some good moments on the show

9:22 am

BzznBea

Rock does joke a lot about black women's hair. He did a documentary on it. Just insensitive.

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

Ru.....it was loooong......watched most.....

9:24 am

sukee

And even if it wasn't, the Smiths can't seem to laugh at themselves. I can appreciate her feelings about it but worse things have been said to other women.

9:24 am

rururocks

i'm just not invested that much into movies lately

9:25 am

sukee

I had actually seen about 4 of the nominated film this year, very rare. I was rooting for Belfast because I really like that film, happy Branagh won for best screenplay at least. A couple of the winners made me cry too

9:26 am

hokie carla

I haven't seen any of them. I think Rock was over the line making fun of a medical condition (that I wasn't aware of), but comedians say offensive things all the time. You don't go up and hit them on stage.

9:27 am

sukee

I wasn't aware of it either, maybe he wasn't either.

9:27 am

BzznBea

Smith could lose his Oscar

9:28 am

sukee

I don't think they will do that, maybe ban him from attending future Oscars?

9:29 am

BzznBea

I'm sure Rock knows about it. I think all of Hollywood does.

9:29 am

hokie carla

they won't do ðŸ’© to him. heck, they let him stay last night and give a long speech to which the audience gave him a standing O. nothing will happen to him or his career.

9:29 am

hokie carla

he should've been escorted out when it happened

9:30 am

sukee

I was starting to like Will Smith but all that was lost last night.

9:30 am

hokie carla

I saw her on a recent episode of the equalizer and just thought she was doing bald or shaved head, and pulling it off really well, I say.

9:31 am

rururocks

I think she's an odd one.. I'm not sure I've liked anything Will Smith has done as an actor. I haven't seen Ali yet though

9:31 am

sukee

Last time I saw him was in Wild, Wild West :) It was awful.

9:32 am

sukee

I did hear he was good in King Richard, better than the film according to some.

9:34 am

rururocks

I guess it's a good thing a black actor won for once

9:34 am

sukee

Any stats for the Js

9:34 am

rururocks

jo 4/ and jo 5

9:34 am

sukee

I saw Densel when Will was speaking and crying, he looked very skeptical and was chewing his gum.

9:35 am

hokie carla

I read Denzel went and spoke to him at the break after the altercation

9:35 am

hokie carla

and his publicist. he/she probably told him to add all the crap in to his speech to try to save face.

9:36 am

sukee

I heard that too. He was probably upset with him.

9:36 am

sukee

Doh, got the Js...lol ty

9:37 am

rururocks

flushed with pride now sukee?

9:37 am

sukee

lol

9:38 am

sukee

time to run...not there...will be back later

9:46 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:49 am

hurshy

sukee said "doh", does that mean the Js are easy?

9:49 am

hokie carla

they are

9:49 am

cybernan

wonder why na 8 (one who) isn't accepted?

9:49 am

hurshy

ah, i see, thanks

9:49 am

hokie carla

but I was thinking of a different meaning than ruru said. but both are slang.

9:50 am

hokie carla

tried that too, nan

9:50 am

welki

'morning, all

9:50 am

hokie carla

hey welki. and nan, missed your entrance.

9:51 am

cybernan

hi welki

MollyL

Will and Jada are drama queens. Last night's theatrics did not surprise me. It is a shame he won. What an ass.

9:51 am

hokie carla

how are there still 11 s's for me on the bottom s?

9:52 am

BzznBea

They are actors. Of course they are drama queens.

9:53 am

BzznBea

I still have 6 from that S, Carla. Some weird ones there.

9:53 am

hokie carla

found 2, so 9 left

9:54 am

MollyL

Some actors get more into real-life drama than others.

9:54 am

hokie carla

I got caught up reading twitter last night, which is on me, I know, but I'm a little baffled how it was determined by some on twitter to be racist.

9:55 am

MollyL

Racist?

9:55 am

cybernan

I'm surprised that so called comedian hasn't been slugged before

9:56 am

MollyL

Poking fun at people is what comedians do. I didn't find Chris Rock's comment that offensive. He's said a lot worse than that.

9:58 am

BzznBea

They deem it racist because she is a black woman. And yes, poking fun of people is what they do, but there is a line.

10:00 am

hokie carla

no, they said it's racist because only white people were saying will smith was wrong.

10:00 am

MollyL

You mean Rock's GI Jane comment was racist? I thought they meant Smith hitting Rock was racist?

10:01 am

hokie carla

can't be racist that she's a black woman if they're both black men, it would be sexist that she's a woman.

10:01 am

MollyL

How do people on Twitter know what race a commenter is?

10:01 am

hokie carla

well, some people have pictures of themselves. but it's also not true. I saw plenty of black people commenting it was wrong.

10:02 am

MollyL

And hey, I don't care what color you are. If you act like an asshole, I'm going to think you're an asshole.

10:03 am

hurshy

i think it can still be racist anyway. i mean, there's internalized racism, where people think they are less good, subconsciously, due to their race. i once had a black student who would regularly comment non-jokingly, "i hate black people"... i think that's still racist...

10:05 am

MollyL

I remember when a black man I worked with told me that black people were prejudiced against each other. (Darker-skinned vs high yellow, etc) I told him "jeez, I thought you all had enough trouble with us white folks." ðŸ˜Š

10:05 am

hurshy

it just shows how infectious attitudes can be

10:06 am

hokie carla

phantom tremor

10:07 am

BzznBea

Black neighbor has two teen boys. One is dating a bi-racial girl. Mom is not for that at all.

10:08 am

aslindy

clue for either uh please?

10:09 am

aslindy

ugh, never mind

10:09 am

hurshy

it adds a letter to ul4 that is like the chinese disney heroine without the M

10:09 am

aslindy

thanks hurshy

10:11 am

MollyL

Oh, this gets better and better. Will Smith said he was "a vessel of love" in his acceptance speech? Ahahahaha!

10:11 am

BzznBea

20 keft for this afternoon...

10:12 am

hokie carla

still can't find that 2nd R in the small one. pen said it was a redo and re6/21

10:14 am

MollyL

And if Smith was going to slap someone, it should have been Rachel Wilson at the BAFTA's when she said (about Smith) "I thought his best performance over the past year was being OK with all his wifeâ€™s boyfriends!" That makes the GI Jane comment look mild in comparison.

10:14 am

hurshy

like the cats knocked all the ornaments off the christmas arboreal item and you have to re6 the tr4

10:16 am

hokie carla

I must not have the 4 because all I can think of with your clue is redecorate

10:16 am

hurshy

ok, how about the lace at the hem of your dress came off and you have to re6 it?

10:17 am

hokie carla

well that would be rehem. ðŸ¤£

10:17 am

hurshy

ooh did anyone already do...

10:17 am

hokie carla

hermione?

10:17 am

hurshy

NTPN! Smart gal in Harry Potter books

mattygroves

The Devil in the Dark.

10:32 am

hurshy

i guess we'd have to sum that advice up as "think fast"?

10:32 am

hokie carla

I feel like this is a day I will get annoyed and not finish. seriously, how can I have that many missing on tiles and see nothing?

10:32 am

MollyL

Man, you Star Trek people mess with my head.

10:33 am

penquis

classic episode... ;o)

10:33 am

MollyL

And Matty even knows the name of the freaking episode

10:33 am

hurshy

well you see molly, there were only 3 seasons of original trek, and then there was over 20 years before there was another TV series of trek, so we had a LOT of time to watch the reruns in syndication

10:34 am

MollyL

You all go to conventions dressed up as characters, don't you?

10:34 am

hurshy

no, sorry, not over 20, only 18

10:34 am

hurshy

but still

10:34 am

hurshy

a long time

10:34 am

penquis

i have been to many a convention but never in costume... ;o)

10:35 am

hurshy

i went to a convention when i was 12, cosplay wasn't really a think yet then

10:35 am

hokie carla

never really watched star trek, but I can tell you what happens in a brady bunch episode in less than a minute.

10:35 am

hurshy

i did buy a pair of spock ears whilst i was there and then did a halloween costume with that

10:35 am

penquis

i had a friend who was a big Trek convention fan, so I went to conventions all over the northeast...

10:35 am

MollyL

**Bets Penquis is fibbing and she goes every year as Lt. Uhura

10:35 am

hurshy

ooh same here on the brady bunch, that was my other big childhood show

10:35 am

mael

I admit to having dressed up for a con, yes

10:36 am

mael

not star trek, but same nerdery

10:36 am

penquis

what did you dress up as?

10:36 am

penquis

or who?

10:36 am

mael

marvel superheroes, mostly

10:37 am

mael

some anime characters when I was much much younger

10:37 am

mael

ahh, youth

10:37 am

penquis

cool...

10:37 am

hokie carla

hurshy, one year for halloween, mr. homie & I and 2 other couples dressed as the brady bunch in the sunshine day outfits.

10:37 am

penquis

lol....you should post a pic....

10:37 am

hurshy

nice

10:37 am

MollyL

When Hurshy brings a date home, she whispers "Want ne to dress up as Carol Brady?" in his ear.

10:38 am

penquis

did people ask you to sing?

10:38 am

hurshy

my initial impression of today's Spelling Bee is... yikes

10:38 am

MollyL

The real question is, did people even know who you were?

10:38 am

hokie carla

we did get a pic of us doing the bent over pose they do

10:39 am

hokie carla

oh, haven't even been there yet. failed wordle, but I did get heardle in one second.

10:39 am

hurshy

phew, got a pangram

10:39 am

hokie carla

of course people knew, as they were people the same age as us who also grew up watching the bradys. plus we found brady bunch wigs.

10:40 am

mael

wordle had many tricky options today

10:40 am

mael

I haven't gotten the pangram on spelling bee yet

10:40 am

MollyL

Oh my God, I just looked up The Brady Bunch and Sunshine Day. What hideous costumes.

10:41 am

hokie carla

that is an interesting set of letters

10:41 am

hokie carla

my bad, it was the silver platters, keep on movin'

10:42 am

hokie carla

the blue and white

10:42 am

hokie carla

was very easy to recreate with blue scrub pants and white tops and ribbons

10:44 am

MollyL

Oh, I'm seeing multi-color bell bottom outfits of orange, pink, lime green and purple

10:44 am

mattygroves

I went to an office Christmas party as Loki (the Marvel version). It was a costume party themed to the letter L. I borrowed it from a cosplayer friend

10:45 am

Sophie512

Thought I'd ty Heardle today. I need to try one that only has songs from the 50s and 60s plus some hymns. After that, I was working and having kids.

10:45 am

mael

that's pretty excellent

10:45 am

mael

matty, I mean

10:45 am

penquis

last time I wore a costume, i was dressed up as an Egyptian manservant for a murder mystery party....

10:46 am

mael

I don't think heardle is for me, I'm pretty bad at music in general

10:46 am

mael

I still dress up every halloween, my kids get a kick out of it

10:47 am

hokie carla

I'm hit or miss. have gotten last 2 days in 1 second, but sometimes it takes me a few added, and sometimes I listen to all 16 sec and have never heard of the song or artist.

10:47 am

MollyL

Enjoy that while you can. Pretty soon it will embarrass them.

10:47 am

mael

then I'll do it because it embarrasses them, I guess :)

10:48 am

mael

but I've got two budding nerdlets so it might never come to pass

10:48 am

mael

no seitan either? man

10:48 am

MollyL

Oh gee how could that have happened?

10:49 am

mael

the nerdlets or the seitan? :)

10:51 am

hokie carla

for a limited time only...you might need to refresh to see us

10:52 am

MollyL

Oh God I wish Ru were here. He would say it.

10:53 am

hokie carla

I'm sure he would

10:53 am

mael

it's really annoying but the icons never refresh for me sometimes

10:54 am

mael

I've changed mine a hundred times and it's still stuck

10:54 am

hokie carla

I'm only seeing your new one, mael, after I did my hard refresh.

10:54 am

hokie carla

10:59 am

penquis

11:01 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

ok, my first one is la6/18

4:09 pm

moolingwa

well it wasn't that one I was thinking of

4:09 pm

moolingwa

or on something...you can never really know

4:10 pm

hokie carla

oh, your first guess is that, not your first L6

4:10 pm

moolingwa

my first guess

4:11 pm

hokie carla

ok, I have one 6/21 and 4 6/18

4:11 pm
