Good morning Babblers.

6:19 am

HarryHood

scrab! what is going on with those bills!

6:19 am

HarryHood

they find a way to lose every game, it's like the mets.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Waaah. The defense couldn't maintain the lead and the offense had terrible turnovers. *sob*

6:20 am

HarryHood

nauseating game.

6:21 am

HarryHood

gotta run. sorry to leave you with that downer.

6:30 am

mattygroves

Scrabbler

7:07 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! venerable Japanese religion

7:07 am

Deeha

out of curiosty do your police have tasers? If so are they spelt with an s or a z

7:08 am

hurshy

i think S, but neither version counts in any word game i have played :(

7:08 am

hurshy

top row grey!!

7:09 am

hokie carla

they are Taser because that's the brand name

7:09 am

hokie carla

212 left!

7:10 am

Deeha

I'm visiting US next week anddont want to get tasered however its spelt!! (not likely anway!!)

7:10 am

hurshy

you're not a black man, so you should be fine ...

7:11 am

Deeha

LOL

7:11 am

hokie carla

if it makes you feel better I've never seen or known anyone in real life get tasered

7:11 am

hurshy

it's not funny, it's true and sad

7:14 am

Deeha

no I know it wasnt really a joke Hurshy its the same here excepot our cops dont have guns most of the time

7:15 am

hurshy

yeah you at least have sensible gun laws

7:15 am

hokie carla

well technically you were talking about stun guns and then it got changed to gun guns

7:16 am

hokie carla

you all do know a taser is not a gun, right?

7:16 am

Deeha

I want expexting to be tazered Hokie it was just a joke I was really querying the spelling

7:16 am

hurshy

indeed, but both are used more on minority men

7:16 am

hurshy

i think they went with S because it was somehow like laser?

7:18 am

hokie carla

per the googles it's actually TASER, which is a loose acronym of Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle, which is a book I've never heard of.

7:19 am

hurshy

go figure

7:26 am

hokie carla

FYI there was a shooting at UVA last night. 3 dead, 2 injured. I think the shooter was a former football player and shot football players and fled.

7:27 am

hurshy

and then there was that horrid crash at the air show in dallas on saturday :(

7:28 am

hokie carla

yeah, I saw that.ðŸ˜¢

7:31 am

BzznBea

ohhh, an eleven. the challenge is one.

7:31 am

hokie carla

7:31 am

hokie carla

one eleven?

7:32 am

BzznBea

periwinkle

7:34 am

hokie carla

but I'm just on 2nd row

7:35 am

periwinkle

just found fl8/9

7:35 am

hurshy

um, se8 comes from the third row, silly

7:36 am

hokie carla

lol, sometimes I jump around if it sticks out

7:36 am

periwinkle

lone T please

7:37 am

hokie carla

I think ta8 should be allowed, like wine ta8. (I did just find another ta8)

7:37 am

hurshy

i thought the same, hokie

7:38 am

hokie carla

and no te8

7:38 am

hurshy

yeah but ta8 is the one that we've definitely heard in sentences

7:39 am

hokie carla

yes

7:40 am

hokie carla

ah, tennis is canceled this morning due to frozen courts. have to say I was not looking forward to it.

7:41 am

mael

hursh, did anyone call Shinto as the religion? I lost track of the chat :)

7:42 am

hokie carla

that must've been before I got here

7:43 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

7:45 am

mael

I wish there was a T next to the H...

7:46 am

hokie carla

I know!

7:48 am

hokie carla

ooh, finally found a 9

7:48 am

mael

I only have one too

7:49 am

mael

pretty satisfying though, so far!

7:49 am

hokie carla

just on 3rd row but the 9 I found was on the bottom

7:50 am

hokie carla

kinda stuck on the A

7:51 am

hokie carla

nm, moving on!

7:51 am

mael

it's the O I'm stuck on right now

7:52 am

hokie carla

have 5 o's but haven't gotten to it yet ðŸ¤£

7:52 am

mael

hah, I have seven and I HAVE gotten to it lol

7:54 am

hokie carla

phantom outfit

7:55 am

mael

ooh, got another 9

7:55 am

hokie carla

nice

7:58 am

hokie carla

hmm, didn't someone ask about the single T?

7:58 am

mael

it's the act of going to my alma mater, lol

8:00 am

hokie carla

<---racks brain to see if mael has ever said her alma mater

8:00 am

hokie carla

got it!

8:00 am

mael

:)

8:02 am

BzznBea

<----chuffed. got the 11

8:02 am

player girl

The I's are giving me a headache

8:02 am

hokie carla

awesome! chuffed is a word that sounds bad to me but I reckon it means you are happy about it.

8:02 am

player girl

And iris is haunting me

8:03 am

hokie carla

I am very happy about finishing the z on first look.

8:05 am

hokie carla

do you want the stat for that middle i, player girl?

8:05 am

player girl

Yes please and the one in the 4th column,

8:06 am

hokie carla

is5/10 in 3rd col, io4 and 5 in 4th

8:06 am

sukee

4th column io 4/4 and plural

8:06 am

player girl

Thank you

8:07 am

player girl

Thank you sukee and hokie carla. The io I should have seen but I'm not familiar with the is.

8:08 am

hokie carla

I only know the is5 from here

8:08 am

sukee

Not finding the is either

8:09 am

hokie carla

ends like something a ref uses or a thorny weed

8:10 am

sukee

ahh, got it, ty

8:10 am

sukee

have to run, power is running out on my laptop :)

8:11 am

hokie carla

get thee to a charger!

8:12 am

hokie carla

1st pass done here - HOET and 50 remaining. TTFN.

8:29 am

player girl

Still missing the E from the 4th row, 4th column and the 10

8:34 am

BzznBea

es7.28 comes from that E. Large properties

8:40 am

MollyL

Totally in the dark as to mael's alma mater

8:41 am

hokie carla

well, it's what you do to a home dec pillow or ottoman with a button to make a little dip

8:42 am

hokie carla

the univ is tu5, which is from the t next to the clue she gave

8:44 am

BzznBea

I think of it as small clump of hairs.

8:44 am

MollyL

If you read the chat again, it looks like she is saying that the 9 she found is the act of going to her alma mater, not the lone T. Again, it is hard to follow these chats when people don't specify what word they are talking about.

8:44 am

hokie carla

so many meanings

8:45 am

MollyL

And I believe the university has an S at the end

8:45 am

hokie carla

yes, tu5 like I said

8:46 am

MollyL

My ortho doc went there, Harvard and MIT. Genious much?

8:46 am

hokie carla

and if you reread, I said, didn't somebody ask about the single T, and she replied, the act of going to my alma mater

8:46 am

MollyL

Ha, and I can't even spell genius.

8:46 am

hokie carla

yeah, somebody's extra ðŸ¤£

8:55 am

mael

I was just making a joke about the tu7 from the middle T :)

8:56 am

MollyL

People always like to mention where they went to college if it is somewhere prestigious

8:57 am

rururocks

sure they worked for it in many cases

8:57 am

BzznBea

And they should.

8:58 am

MollyL

Oh good Lord, Tu5 requires a GPA of 4.04

8:58 am

mael

and if Harvarding was a word they could also make that joke, but alas!

8:58 am

mael

joke's on Tu5 too, I did not even have a GPA. I had A Levels and Italian exams instead

8:59 am

MollyL

I always like to ask my ortho doc, "why not Princeton too?" ðŸ˜Š

9:00 am

BzznBea

What is his response?

9:00 am

BzznBea

or her

9:00 am

MollyL

He just looks at me like I am a smartass, which I am.

9:02 am

BzznBea

I could have gone to a school that accepted a 4.04 GPA. But with two babies, I lowered my sights.

9:06 am

rururocks

I had nowhere near a 4.0 gpa.. I feel a bit dumb in this crowd

9:07 am

mael

we had a whole other system, but when I went I can't say there was a firm GPA requirement...

9:11 am

mael

also, I transferred in from Harvard night school soo....

9:13 am

hokie carla

my school used a 100pt scale and my graduating avg was 103.something, so I think that's +4.0

9:13 am

hokie carla

*my high school

9:15 am

rururocks

this is a nice grid for once

9:17 am

mael

I agree, ru

9:17 am

mattygroves

Who knew the first name of the Prime Minister is actually a word?!

9:20 am

MollyL

Aw, for anyone who watched Days of Our Lives, John Aniston died. Farewell Victor Kiriakos. He was also Jennifer Aniston's Dad.

9:25 am

hokie carla

oh, I didn't see that

9:26 am

hokie carla

and I did not know the PM name. actually, I knew it was a word and already have it, just didn't know who the new PM was.ðŸ¤£

9:26 am

rururocks

I'm not sure who replaced Boris

9:26 am

hokie carla

well, I googled it

9:27 am

hokie carla

and then I saw it said oct 24, so then I didn't feel as bad for not knowing

9:29 am

rururocks

wow.. never heard of him

9:30 am

rururocks

what happened to the woman?

9:30 am

hokie carla

she resigned

9:30 am

hokie carla

(I think I remember hearing that)

9:34 am

rururocks

we could send them Donald Trump to help

9:34 am

hokie carla

ooh, brilliant

9:34 am

hokie carla

people say he's the best at helping the brits out

9:35 am

rururocks

oh yeah Charles just loves him

9:35 am

MollyL

This is why I get so tickled by people in other countries and their knowledge of our politicians and politics. I know jack shit about the politicians and politics of other countries.

9:35 am

hurshy

when birds poop it's airsh4

9:36 am

MollyL

Does anyone remember the scene in "Top Secret" where the flying people are dropping on a statue of a pigeon?

9:37 am

hokie carla

molly, I was just thinking how the brits here are either laughing or cringing at us for not knowing

9:37 am

hurshy

not i, i haven't heard of that

9:38 am

hokie carla

oh, top secret is a classic val kilmer movie. haven't seen it in a long time and don't remember that scene. was prob too young to "get it".

9:38 am

hokie carla

of course it isn't streaming for free anywhere

9:39 am

hokie carla

it's a satire/spoof of spy movies

9:39 am

MollyL

So many movies are not streaming or rarely stream for free

9:39 am

hokie carla

maybe someone will add it

9:39 am

hurshy

i think it's kind of an amazing thing that liz truss only lasted 6 months but it just so happened to be in that time that she got to be involved with the switch to a new king, something that hadn't happened for like 7 decades!

9:40 am

MollyL

Google says she only lasted 44 days

9:40 am

saanichcat

six WEEKS hurshy

9:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, I didn't think it was that long

9:41 am

hurshy

oh six WEEKS sorry

9:41 am

hurshy

even crazier then

9:42 am

hokie carla

anyone know what my missing S is on top row? 24, I know that's a tough guess unless it's just obvious.

9:42 am

hurshy

apparently my brain had trouble computing the idea that anyone could last only 6 weeks

9:42 am

hurshy

my last one was the nap

9:43 am

hokie carla

nah, have that, thx

9:43 am

aslindy

there's a sr4,4

9:44 am

hokie carla

not that either, good guess though

9:44 am

saanichcat

she sort of self-destructed. ie by wanting to lower taxes to the rich so they would spend more and raise the economy...crazy idea

9:44 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. we get that idea here too with republicans saanich

9:44 am

hurshy

maybe the sh5/12 that falls between the leg part and the poop?

9:45 am

hokie carla

nope

9:45 am

rururocks

trickle down economist.. the only trickle is pissing on the middle class

9:45 am

saanichcat

you are right on that

9:45 am

hokie carla

going to look at my plurals and stuff

9:46 am

hurshy

maybe it is se6/18

9:46 am

hokie carla

I do not have one of those, so I think you're onto something!

9:46 am

rururocks

I had to look up one word in morewords.. never saw it before.

9:46 am

MollyL

I just read that the owner of our local NFL team paid 48 million in cash for his house/mansion. IN CASH.

9:47 am

hokie carla

holy smokes

9:47 am

rururocks

well he's going to sell the team for 7 Billion

9:47 am

hurshy

well of course when they say "in cash" it doesn't mean in actual physical cash, just that he didn't need a mortgage

9:47 am

rururocks

it will be good for you guys to have a new owner

9:48 am

hokie carla

LOL, I don't think any of us were thinking stacks on stacks on stacks

9:48 am

hurshy

it would be pretty entertaining to see a box full of cash totalling that much

9:48 am

MollyL

Good riddance to the little tyrant

9:49 am

hokie carla

is this se6 a regular word?

9:50 am

rururocks

yes

9:50 am

hokie carla

hmm. I must be literally blind to it

9:50 am

hurshy

it's not a word you would use every day but it's not like WEIRD

9:50 am

hurshy

it's a group of a certain number

9:51 am

MollyL

Although I am not sure Jeff Bezos will be any better

9:51 am

hokie carla

aha, I always miss those

9:51 am

hokie carla

top row gray!

9:51 am

rururocks

did he buy the team?

9:51 am

rururocks

I can see it now the Washington Amazons

9:52 am

hurshy

lol

9:52 am

hurshy

then it would be a women's team

9:53 am

rururocks

women checking their packages :D

9:53 am

MollyL

I could dig Matthew McConaughey as owner though

9:53 am

MollyL

I am reading a list of potential people interested in buying. It will take months to close the deal.

10:07 am

hurshy

did people say what the 3rd col T is? i missed it

10:08 am

EvaNadine

TU7

10:19 am

mael

sigh

10:21 am

hokie carla

lol

10:21 am

hokie carla

I thought you were sighing at having 10 left

10:21 am

hurshy

what does the left i have besides the preposition?

10:21 am

mael

oh, got it. I kept seeing the phantom metal, there ya go

10:21 am

hurshy

oh i have no 9s or the 10 or the 11!

10:22 am

mael

a pronoun, hursh

10:22 am

hokie carla

I don't have that other i

10:22 am

hurshy

thanks mael

10:23 am

mael

one left, an O7 which I assume is just more of the same type of O words

10:23 am

hokie carla

like a mario bros pronoun? itsa me!

10:24 am

hokie carla

I have one O7 but assume there is more

10:24 am

hurshy

i had more emotions than you, mael, perhaps?

10:24 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

10:24 am

mael

that's the one! thank you!

10:24 am

mael

FW!

10:24 am

hurshy

i still miss 4 of those O ... lol

10:25 am

mael

close on the pronoun, hokie :)

10:25 am

hurshy

ooh found an 8/9 combo

10:25 am

hokie carla

10:25 am

hokie carla

10:26 am

hokie carla

10:26 am

hurshy

well it's my first 9 so i will pretend it was also for me

10:26 am

hurshy

woohoo, got the 11, Os Overcome!

10:27 am

hurshy

first col grey!

10:27 am

BzznBea

that 11 was iffy

10:27 am

hurshy

yeah

10:28 am

hurshy

T is my biggest Trouble today... need 10 more... out of 22 words to find

10:28 am

BzznBea

why am i always stuck with s and t at the end?

10:33 am

MollyL

Just guessing, but s and t usually have the highest word counts

10:35 am

hurshy

but it's weird because the word count doesn't necessarily correlate to how hard they are... like i only need 2 S, but 10 T

10:41 am

hurshy

so... anyone know what the 10 is?

10:42 am

BzznBea

tu10.91

10:43 am

hurshy

does it go with any shorter words?

10:43 am

BzznBea

yes, but it is not compound

10:44 am

BzznBea

it is a chemical. the 10 is the plural

10:44 am

hurshy

aha thank you

10:44 am

BzznBea

yw

10:46 am

hurshy

phantom: teeth

10:46 am

MollyL

Something is wrong with Lickety's statistics. It is showing the smallest grid as 2 words 25 points on September 7. I just checked all of the September 7's and no 25 point word count.

10:47 am

hurshy

yeah we have not had a grid that small in the years that i've been playing

10:47 am

hurshy

no single digit word counts

10:47 am

MollyL

I wanted to see what a two word grid looked like

10:48 am

hurshy

ugly, most likely

10:48 am

BzznBea

That was the day we ran out of puzzles.

10:48 am

hokie carla

but hurshy, there is teef

10:49 am

MollyL

All dates of September 7 have word counts and they are all over 2

10:49 am

hokie carla

ðŸŽ¶the day the puzzles diedðŸŽ¶

10:49 am

BzznBea

I was all vowels or somesuch nonsence. Dr God reset and lickety didn't

10:51 am

cybernan

oh that is my last 9 then - looking

3:51 pm

HarryHood

that 10 is a bit mysterious... some discussion earlier, but still undeciphered.

3:52 pm

found the tu 9 -- is the 10 related?

3:52 pm

mab

i think so

3:54 pm

tu10 is def related to tu9!

4:02 pm

cybernan

tried every ending I could think of, and still not getting it

4:05 pm

mab

it's plural of the 9, nan. it's in there.

4:09 pm

cybernan

tried latin plurals - they don't work

4:10 pm

mab

just type it in - it's the normal old plural

4:11 pm

cybernan

duh -- was thinking it was an 8-9 combo, not a 9-101

4:12 pm

mab

hurrah! i do that all the time, ie killing myself for a 5 that's actually a 6, etc.

4:12 pm
