7:03 am

hurshy

another one is not fitting for the occasion

7:04 am

aslindy

thank you hurshy

7:05 am

aslindy

third is part of the foot

7:06 am

hurshy

ty

7:07 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! popular fruity drink brand

7:09 am

aslindy

snapple

7:09 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

7:18 am

sukee

I can't believe there are 69 Ps

7:18 am

hurshy

and 67 S

7:18 am

sukee

Oh, I mean 110 lol

7:19 am

hurshy

at the moment i'm struggling with E

7:19 am

sukee

me too, I only have 4

7:19 am

aslindy

I can't find that lone O at the bottom

7:19 am

hurshy

ol4/4

7:20 am

aslindy

thanks. I blame lack of sleep and migraine.

7:20 am

sukee

I always miss simple ones

7:21 am

hurshy

happens to everyone

7:21 am

hurshy

bottom row grey! that makes me feel better

7:22 am

sukee

I still need one

7:23 am

aslindy

do you have the op6?

7:23 am

hurshy

anyone have the lone E

7:23 am

sukee

Just heard on our news that Britney Griner is finally getting out of prison in Russia, a trade for a Russian arms dealer.

7:24 am

hurshy

that whole thing really confused me

7:24 am

sukee

It was all politics

7:24 am

hurshy

but i mean people's reactions

7:24 am

sukee

Yes, some people were ready to throw away the key

7:25 am

hurshy

oh, i thought it seemed the opposite

7:25 am

sukee

Sadly a lot of Americans seem to support Russia in everything they do.

7:25 am

hurshy

i do not support russia but i also think if you don't want to end up in draconian foreign prisons, maybe don't try smuggling drugs

7:26 am

sukee

But, she had a vape that had a residue of marijuana in it. Hardly a drug dealer.

7:26 am

hurshy

oh, i thought it was a whole load of drugs

7:27 am

hurshy

well apparently i have misunderstood the whole thing from beginning to end then

7:28 am

hurshy

ty for setting me straight :)

7:28 am

sukee

ok, I read more, maybe cannabis oil that was mistakenly packed. But not a drug dealer

7:29 am

sukee

And, the guy they swapped her for? He's known as the Merchant of Death... yikes. They would have arrested anyone.

7:29 am

MollyL

Russia's drug laws are very strict. Anyone who travels there should know that. Even people with prescription drugs have been caught up in the zero tolerance Russian practice.

7:31 am

sukee

Yeah, but gun runners are okay.

7:33 am

MollyL

Isn't the whole idea of the prisoner swap so Russia can prosecute Bout?

7:33 am

hurshy

that might be nice

7:34 am

sukee

I hope it is

7:34 am

MollyL

I don't know much about this. I only read a brief headline story.

7:36 am

aslindy

hurshy the lone E is ep7,36

7:37 am

hurshy

i wanted it to be epinaoi :(

7:38 am

hurshy

almost have epitaph

7:38 am

aslindy

I tried variations of epistle, but no

7:39 am

hokie carla

this is not starting out well. maybe I should skip the c?

7:39 am

hurshy

same here

7:39 am

hurshy

it's hard in general

7:40 am

hokie carla

324 words should be easier

7:40 am

hurshy

usually yeah

7:42 am

aslindy

goodness, I figured out the ut10

7:42 am

hurshy

there's a ut10? yukes

7:42 am

hurshy

yikes

7:42 am

hokie carla

I see what you mean now, finally found 5 c's, moved down to the E and can only find one. if this whole thing is like pulling teeth maybe I should work on my quilt.

7:43 am

hokie carla

and I also thought yikes on reading there is a UT10

7:43 am

aslindy

I was thinking I could crochet while looking for words

7:43 am

hokie carla

but only one problem at at time

7:43 am

mael

well, bottom row gray. That's a start

7:43 am

hurshy

and it's not util- anything :(

7:44 am

mael

I'm assuming the ut10 has something to do with the imaginary land?

7:44 am

hokie carla

what are you working on right now (crochet), lindy?

7:44 am

hurshy

ooh good idea mael

7:44 am

aslindy

a cardigan

7:44 am

hurshy

got it! thanks mael

7:45 am

aslindy

mael all the ut words are related

7:45 am

mael

I'd figured but I'm trying to actually find them haha

7:45 am

hurshy

but not all the U are UT, i surmise? i got 3 ut

7:46 am

aslindy

hurshy, correct

7:46 am

hokie carla

ok, I grayed the bottom row. thanks for the suggestion, mael.

7:46 am

aslindy

7:46 am

hurshy

ok thanks

7:47 am

hurshy

haha the grid has snape and po6!

7:48 am

hokie carla

7:48 am

hokie carla

7:48 am

mael

and lu5 :)

7:48 am

hokie carla

hey, intel is still not a word

7:49 am

mael

nope, and I still try it every time

7:49 am

hokie carla

words like recon are allowed

7:50 am

hurshy

maybe recon means something else that we don't know about

7:51 am

hokie carla

well, there's also a ton of other military words and acronyms allowed. just arbitrary enable rules again.

7:51 am

mael

finally found the 10, look at that ending I'd just completely ignored

7:51 am

mael

awol is allowed

7:52 am

mael

which is a straight up acronym

7:52 am

hokie carla

also JATO. IIRC, is jet assisted take off

7:53 am

hokie carla

and not military but my favorite stupid one of elhi

7:54 am

hurshy

i'm doing ok on the upper and lower Ps, but less so on the center one

7:54 am

mael

what does it even mean, hokie? I've played enough hat I remember it every time but...

7:55 am

hokie carla

elementary - high school

7:55 am

mael

7:55 am

hokie carla

7:55 am

mael

ohh my favorite food is in the grid!!! yay

7:56 am

hurshy

po7?

7:56 am

mael

7:57 am

hokie carla

8:08 am

hokie carla

8:08 am

BzznBea

ding ding ding

8:08 am

hokie carla

thought of it right before mael posted. so I was too slow.

8:10 am

hurshy

well, i got 80% alright

8:11 am

hokie carla

well, I rattled off a ton of s's, like everything i tried took, and then I looked and it was just 20/50

8:13 am

hurshy

did you guys know there is a children's book about Pluto being demoted? it's called "Pluto Gets the Call", lol

8:13 am

hokie carla

yes, only because it is in the mini today or recently

8:13 am

mael

8:34 am

hokie carla

well, I have half on everything except that darn single E

8:35 am

mael

I keep wanting it to be epistle

8:35 am

BzznBea

the count one that is 7.36 That might help

8:35 am

MollyL

It is not a normal word

8:35 am

hokie carla

I will take any clue then

8:36 am

NANCY

Brittney Griner released from Russia and on her way home

8:36 am

MollyL

Ends in a word that means to habitually drink alcohol

8:37 am

hokie carla

thanks, molly

8:37 am

NANCY

Another win for Biden

8:37 am

BzznBea

That's great news, Nancy.

8:37 am

hokie carla

I thought it meant to drink heavily all at once

8:38 am

hokie carla

we did send back a convicted arms dealer for her, so not all sunshine

8:40 am

NANCY

true but we can keep a hard look at the dealer and we have one of our own free at last .

8:40 am

hokie carla

I forgot to yell HOET!

8:41 am

MollyL

Yeah, and they left a Marine over there, who should have had priority over a dope head.

8:42 am

mael

I'll take back the queer woman in a horrifyingly homophobic country, if we have to prioritize

8:42 am

hokie carla

98 left here after first pass. time for brekkie (that was just for you, molly)

8:42 am

mael

still 119 left for me

8:42 am

NANCY

The Russians said it was Brittney or nothing. You obviously didnt get the full story.

8:43 am

mael

Biden says it's the only deal they could make, yeah

8:45 am

MollyL

Apparently, there are people who think Bout being sent back will pose a serious threat to US national security,.

8:46 am

MollyL

I have no dog in this fight, I am just commenting on what I have read.

8:58 am

rururocks

I think trump is a threat to US security to start with

8:59 am

mael

you don't say! people should be a little bit more concerned about missing classified docs and who saw them at this point

9:04 am

rururocks

or who has them mael

9:08 am

NANCY

totally agree ru, trump IS our worst enemy by far.

9:09 am

rururocks

I for one believe in the constitution of the USA and I didn't swear on a bible to uphold the laws of the constitution like he did.

9:11 am

pcal2

i say trade donald for paul

9:12 am

rururocks

paul who?

9:12 am

mael

whelan

9:12 am

mael

I don't think Putin wants Donald either

9:12 am

pcal2

paul whelan

9:13 am

rururocks

unless he wants more fun hotel hooker tapes mael

9:15 am

mael

I think he has precisely as many hooker tapes as he needs

9:16 am

hokie carla

can someone just give me a hint for the 10 ending? I swear I have tried everything.

9:16 am

rururocks

like the religious belief thing hokie

9:16 am

hokie carla

oh geez, gracias ruru!

9:17 am

mael

took me a while too hokie

9:18 am

hokie carla

I think I tried -nite, nist (which, btw, should be a word if the 10 is a word), and several others that I can't remember now

9:20 am

mael

me too! and -ise too

9:20 am

hokie carla

yes, that was one

9:24 am

hokie carla

name that 90s country singer in the grid!

9:25 am

hokie carla

(if molly gets this I'll know she's a bot)

9:30 am

penquis

LOL....hello all....(and i have no clue)....

9:30 am

rururocks

no idea here either.. I'm apparently not up on my country singers

9:31 am

mael

I'm not up on any country singers

9:32 am

welki

i am, and i can't see it either

9:32 am

hokie carla

let's see...one of his biggest hits was You've Got to Stand for Something

9:33 am

welki

tippin!

9:33 am

hokie carla

âœ…âœ…âœ… welki!

9:33 am

hokie carla

and hey pen!

9:33 am

penquis

hey carla!

9:33 am

welki

<--- should have seen it right away, since i saw tippet, my fishing phantom

9:34 am

hokie carla

but tippet is there

9:34 am

welki

*sigh* i did it again - off to the pb with my cup of coffee

9:35 am

penquis

and that is a word....PB for you...holiday treats there....

9:35 am

mael

thanks!

9:35 am

HarryHood

lea

9:35 am

hokie carla

that isn't a word here, harry, it's only 3 letters!

9:36 am

HarryHood

my touchpad frequently goes into the chat box by itself. very annoying

9:38 am

penquis

yes, mine does that too, but not as often since i downloaded Touch Freeze....my nephew recommended it...

9:38 am

HarryHood

if there were a religion concentrating on "eatism" that would be really popular

9:39 am

welki

<-- is a high priestess of eatism

9:39 am

rururocks

you said a mouthful there harry

9:41 am

HarryHood

I guess the cannibals would be the purists. hardcore eatists.

9:41 am

penquis

different sects....vegans, vegetarians, etc....

9:42 am

HarryHood

the vegans are like the universalists.

9:42 am

HarryHood

cannibals are easter orthodox.

9:42 am

HarryHood

+n

9:42 am

rururocks

glad I'm not kosher then

9:43 am

HarryHood

you're not kosher since you don't have split hooves, ru. At least I don't think so.

9:43 am

welki

ohhh, ru - not going there

9:44 am

cherlyq

well if I do nothing else today I tackled the o's lol

9:44 am

rururocks

(puts away his centaur costume)

9:44 am

origami

The conversations I stumble upon in here!!

9:45 am

rururocks

harry's just trying to flesh out the conversation a bit

9:47 am

rururocks

at least Hershel Walker lost and can go back to threatening women now and living in Texas

9:48 am

HarryHood

isn't a peloton a bicycle term for the large group?

9:48 am

mael

sorry, Texas, but better than the rest of us

9:48 am

origami

I can't believe he got 48% of the vote.

9:49 am

penquis

Georgia loves football....

9:49 am

welki

panism, tanism aren't accepted either

9:52 am

mael

neither is the pa6/24 version of the word

9:52 am

hokie carla

yes, that is correct for peloton. have complained about its exclusion before.

9:53 am

origami

I think it's a proper noun.

9:53 am

HarryHood

before there was an exercise bike, there was a term.

9:53 am

hokie carla

and cheryl, I just looked - the o's are the only thing I have finished today too!

9:53 am

rururocks

don't forget ori they voted in MTG twice

9:53 am

HarryHood

I remember it from the "biking" category on irc #jeopardy

9:53 am

MollyL

In a world where Matthew McConaughey is threatening a Presidential run, the Herschel Walker thing surprises people?

9:53 am

hokie carla

yeah, the proper noun came way after the fact

9:54 am

penquis

peloton: a large pack or cluster of bicyclists in a road race, riding closely together to reduce wind resistance and conserve their energy.

9:54 am

hokie carla

when you watch the tour de france, the peloton is the largest group

9:54 am

origami

At least McConaughey can put words together in a sentence that makes sense.

9:55 am

origami

I hadn't heard the biking term before.

9:55 am

HarryHood

watching the tour de france is just a bit more exciting than watching golf. or chess. or soccer for that matter.

9:55 am

rururocks

at least McConaughey knows the difference between erection and election

9:56 am

HarryHood

I just realized I have no Us!

9:56 am

mael

he's a wee bit more together overall than Walker, let's grant him that.

9:56 am

hokie carla

I find it more interesting to watch now that I know a little more

9:57 am

hokie carla

is the 5th u a UP?

9:57 am

HarryHood

ah! got 3 of them :) todd rungren!

9:58 am

mael

finally got all the Cs

9:59 am

MollyL

Can form sentences. Knows erection from election. What a platform.

9:59 am

HarryHood

clue for the lone E?

9:59 am

hokie carla

still need 2 c's if you want to help ðŸ˜œ

10:00 am

mael

there's two ce7s, one's a woman's name

10:00 am

origami

Ha, Molly!

10:00 am

mael

change the last vowel for the other, they're technically instruments

10:01 am

mael

I mean, Molly, that's better than we're getting from some other candidates :)

10:01 am

hokie carla

gracias

10:02 am

mael

but let's not forget that Hershel Walker's strongest policy position was to favor werewolves over vampires

10:02 am

hokie carla

harry, EP7 - ends in heavy drinking

10:02 am

mael

and I'm sad that that's not a joke

10:04 am

rururocks

i Know you can't make this shit up these days.. the far right is completely off the deep end

10:05 am

hokie carla

honestly, the far side of both sides are completely off the deep end

10:05 am

HarryHood

agreed carla.

10:06 am

HarryHood

but the far left seems to be more palatable to the people I encounter in new england. If I were living in the south or midwest I might be more afraid of the far right.

10:06 am

mael

ones actually a far side, one's the entire party unfortunately. Given the number of votes Hershel Walker actually received...

10:06 am

MollyL

Hey, this country elected a man who talked about grabbing women by the _____ (not saying it, for fear of the wrath)

10:07 am

HarryHood

I'd consider the squad "far left" and they get quite a few votes.

10:07 am

mael

shit, then I'm far left

10:07 am

HarryHood

that's what Im saying.

10:07 am

HarryHood

new england liberals scare the hell out of me.

10:07 am

mael

because I don't find the squad objectionable

10:08 am

HarryHood

ok then.
