cybernan
* it is actually the first one
12:30 am
cybernan
good night everyone :)
4:04 am
Deeha
found the dodgy first co7. Do you ever get the feeling that whoever compiled the dictionary wasnt a very good typist??!!
4:18 am
mattygroves
Is the first co7 before the pine tr4 - I'm guessing that isn't the 'dodgy' one?
4:20 am
waskallia
yes it is Matty
4:27 am
mattygroves
Does it begin with the same first three letters?
4:36 am
waskallia
no, add to put something up to co
4:39 am
MollyL
Jointly build
4:58 am

6:41 am
Kiani
gonna be a long day today; Once-a-month mtg an extra hour on my day
7:41 am
mael
name that digestif in the grid!
7:45 am
saanichcat
ma 4/6 works very well but I don't think it is the one you are referring to!
7:46 am
mael
I was thinking of fernet! but I'm actually not sure how popular it is in North America comparatively :)
7:47 am
saanichcat
of course! I haven't been able to find that for years!
7:47 am
aslindy
never heard of it
7:48 am
mael
my father used to drink some after every meal
7:50 am
saanichcat
so did my ex. I actually like the stuff! We had special glasses for it even. will keep looking, some of the specialty Italian delis might have it
7:50 am
mael
it's around in New England, but there's a been a bit of a renaissance for european digestifs
7:51 am
saanichcat
oh good. I think they are under-rated. they sure do work.
7:56 am
saanichcat
aslindy, if you google 'fernet branca' then you'll know. It's not common in North America, as mael said so not surprising you haven't heard of it. Mostly a European thing.
7:57 am
mael
it's strongly herbal but I think it's delicious
7:59 am
saanichcat
mmmm can taste it, thanks for the reminder mael.
7:59 am
mael
challenging little grid for me today
7:59 am
welki
i've no fernet, but can pour a little campari for you (but i prefer that with soda and lime)
8:00 am
mael
campari soda is delicious!
8:01 am
saanichcat
oh you are torturing me! Campari!
8:01 am
welki
one of the best drinks for a hot summer afternoon
8:02 am
saanichcat
oh yes indeed. The Best. It's really expensive in BC though.
8:03 am
mael
really? that's surprising!
8:03 am
saanichcat
super-high liquor taxes
8:04 am
rururocks
they want their people drinking less
8:04 am
mael
that's how you get moonshine
8:05 am
saanichcat
hi ru, I was just going to mention Canada's new guide rules for alcohol : two drinks PER WEEK
8:06 am
mael
's for men, I think
8:08 am
rururocks
for men that's per hour :D
8:08 am
saanichcat
there have been a lot of jokes about binge drinking if you have more than two drinks in one day. and the wine pour is small - 5 ounces.
8:09 am
welki
it's one drink per day if you never let your glass get empty - that was my mother's philosophy.
8:11 am
welki
...and there's claude in the grid again
8:11 am
saanichcat
your mother had it right welki,
8:11 am
hokie carla
hard to argue with that logic
8:12 am
mael
I'm sure the impressionists did about as much drinking as I think they did
8:12 am
welki
what's wrong with a little absinthe now and then?
8:13 am
rururocks
I think that's what pushed van gough over the edge
8:13 am
welki
what's that? i didn't ear you
8:14 am
saanichcat
GOOD ONE welki!
8:14 am
mael
why did it take me so long to find the 8?
8:15 am
hokie carla
because you're slow 😜 (j/k, I haven't found it)
8:15 am
saanichcat
you're not the only one
8:15 am
rururocks
what does it begin with?
8:15 am
saanichcat
took me forever and so simple a word
8:16 am
mael
it was my last F, in fact
8:16 am
hokie carla
I still have 109 left so pretty safe to say I haven't found many big ones
8:16 am
mael
I'm still missing a 7
8:16 am
marksdolly
gm to you all!
8:16 am
marksdolly
hi Hokie!
8:17 am
rururocks
oh got it.. thanks mael

8:17 am
mael
never mind, found the last 7
8:17 am
marksdolly
hi Welki!
8:18 am
mael
and I was going to refrain from making a bad joke about gay porn for the co7, but ru is here so bad jokes are a go :)
8:18 am
bichon
co 7/36, pls
8:18 am
hokie carla
I had typed a few f's earlier looking at the bottom F, not even knowing there was another F. turns out all the ones I have are upper. 🤣
8:19 am
rururocks
yeah.. i stiffened when I saw that one mael
8:19 am
mael
there you go, bichon. that's the co7/36
8:19 am
saanichcat
oh jeez ru
8:19 am
rururocks
shocked I mean saan :D
8:20 am
mael
it was a hard one
8:20 am
saanichcat
clutching my pearls
8:20 am
rururocks
sometimes those co7's are hard to find
8:20 am
rururocks
(I owe you a coke mael)
8:21 am
mael
great minds and all that, ru
8:21 am
rururocks
and I'm glad I bring out the best of you mael :D
8:21 am
mael
you certainly do :)
8:22 am
hokie carla
why can I only find 1 upper R? are these hard or I need more coffee?
8:22 am
hokie carla
and I did NOT try ramen
8:22 am
rururocks
I was just going to say hokie
8:22 am
mael
I did not, but I was sad about it
8:22 am
saanichcat
very close hokie, change first vowel
8:22 am
hokie carla
found a similar
8:23 am
parisla
changing the last letter will give you two words though
8:23 am
mael
the other two are two babble 5s, not regular words
8:23 am
hokie carla
had one, but not the other, thanks paris
8:23 am
Aloyisius
ty parisla.. hi all
8:24 am
Aloyisius
still doing first pass.. and of course I had to type ramen
8:24 am
origami
Well done, mael. Hi folks.
8:24 am
mael
which is ideally what happens after the a co7ion
8:24 am
saanichcat
congrats mael!
8:25 am
Aloyisius
hi origami
8:25 am
saanichcat
hi there ori
8:25 am
mael
anyone need clues?
8:25 am
Aloyisius
wtg mael.. !
8:25 am
rururocks
different strokes for different folks mael
8:26 am
mkg
Any clues for the in 7? Ty
8:26 am
saanichcat
mkg - description of hell
8:27 am
mkg
Ty. Not sure i know that word
8:27 am
rururocks
you do...sometimes it's towering above you
8:28 am
mkg
got the in! Ty
8:28 am
Aloyisius
good one ru
8:28 am
mkg
I think of it as large fire.
8:28 am
hokie carla
which is hell
8:28 am
mael
yeah, because it means hell :)
8:28 am
mkg
I guess so. Jews dont really focus on hell. Our focus is on heaven.
8:29 am
rururocks
all jews go to heaven, except bernie madoff
8:29 am
hokie carla
so, the word hell doesn't make you immediately think of flames? weird.
8:29 am
mkg
But in general we live for life on earth.
8:29 am
mael
very preferable
8:30 am
rururocks
Some people think of hell as hot S & M
8:30 am
rururocks
those are the catholics
8:31 am
mael
the s&m part is the only thing that keeps some Catholics going
8:31 am
mael
and I say this as a recovered Catholic :)
8:33 am
rururocks
I'll have to tell you my catholic hell joke someday mael
8:34 am
MollyL
Everyone knows that hell is a dirty hotel room, with instant coffee in a styrofoam cup, no air conditioning and ABBA blaring on the radio.
8:34 am
hokie carla

8:35 am
mael
aww, what do you have against ABBA?
8:35 am
saanichcat
Motel 6?
8:35 am
hokie carla
but I like ABBA
8:35 am
mael
I'm all ears, Ru
8:36 am
rururocks
it's too long to type here unfortunately
8:36 am
rururocks
it's a cute joke not a sick one
8:36 am
mael

11:40 am
cybernan
you said you have the anagrams, so are you missing the other 7/44 or the 7/36?
11:41 am
hokie carla
there are 3 7/44? no one answered that earlier that I saw.
11:42 am
cherlyq
There are 3
11:42 am
hokie carla
so for those points wouldn't 3 be anagrams?
11:42 am
cybernan
clued at 11:21
11:43 am
hokie carla
yeah, I know. I will just wait, but thanks
11:44 am

11:49 am
cybernan
missionaries tried to co 7 north american natives to catholicism

11:54 am
cybernan
my next clue was going to be stick a consonant into the miccle of co 6 operations
11:55 am
cybernan
7 t's to go
