1:09 am

justafreep

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, please.

6:08 am

ItalianGreyhound

The AN 9/90 is based on a Med 101 class, and uses the last letter

6:08 am

donnasc6dogs

an 9 is dissection

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Ah, odd word.

6:10 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:13 am

donnasc6dogs

toter

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

6:14 am

donnasc6dogs

I keep wanting to make a joke about great 60s music!

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Is that a clue for a word?

6:15 am

donnasc6dogs

no--not a word--though motown is a style of music

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Ah, I see.

6:18 am

ItalianGreyhound

disco is a word, so why not motown

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Proper name, I would guess.

6:21 am

donnasc6dogs

well, it is Detroit's alt-name--so I guess it's a proper noun

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I need to get to work. Enjoy the day.

6:32 am

player girl

6:33 am

8:05 am

MollyL

Occasionally I am inspired by the clever cluers of years gone by.

8:05 am

hokie carla

but how did you find the word to begin with?

8:07 am

MollyL

morewords

8:07 am

hokie carla

I see. oh, and thanks.

8:07 am

MollyL

I don't mess around trying to find words like that by myself. I'm not into self-punishment.

8:08 am

MollyL

And I don't need to claim that I found it by trial and error just to look like a smartypants.

8:08 am

hokie carla

I agree. I first clicked away when I saw the request, then came back when I realized there was no way I was going to find it on my own.

8:10 am

MollyL

That is why I like the original "only clue if there is a request" thing. People who don't want clues can dip out of chat. No so with the blurters.

8:13 am

hokie carla

almost anatomic

8:14 am

hurshy
