6:39 am

periwinkle

good morning all

6:40 am

Kiani

I accepted a transfer to a different team, which means my best friend and I can't be officemates anymore bc he's still on my old team and they are moving to a different building than the one I am moving to

6:40 am

Kiani

so that pretty much just sucks

6:41 am

periwinkle

that does suck

6:42 am

Kiani

he had to stay late yesterday for a mtg and apparently pulled a bunch of his stuff off the walls and such onto the moving cart, bc I got in this morning and it looks so bare in here now

6:49 am

aslindy

sounds like it will be a rough day. :(

6:49 am

Kiani

we have one more week before we move, so there's that at least, but yeah

7:53 am

mael

7:56 am

mael

8:11 am

saanichcat

good morning all! and thanks aslindy for the ke 6; got it right away thanks to your sugar clue

8:44 am

HarryHood

first pass done! 58 to go. fun grid!

9:01 am

Aloyisius

Hi Harry et al.. agree. Finished first pass and its time to see how many plurals I missed.

9:21 am

Dorens

it sure is easy to close out tiles in this one

9:28 am

mael

phantom: eureka

9:29 am

Aloyisius

can't say my phantom.. it falls from your eye

9:31 am

mael

that would be a nice 8/9 combo

9:31 am

Aloyisius

(-: ..

9:46 am

hurshy

ooh, big one. morning all.

9:47 am

Aloyisius

hi hurshy.. have fun. I just finished. You will enjoy it! Poofing off to do laundry. Happy Babbling!

9:47 am

mael

congrats aloy!

9:48 am

Aloyisius

PS: I did indeed miss a LOT of plurals!

9:51 am

hurshy

oh i forgot it doesn't take SPORK

9:56 am

rururocks

what is spork?

9:56 am

hurshy

it's a combo spoon/fork

9:56 am

hurshy

like a spoon but with little points at the end

9:56 am

hokie carla

wow, I thought spork was a well-established portmanteau. they must not be allowed in CA.

9:57 am

rururocks

i thought it sounded like a spoonerism

9:57 am

hurshy

well i guess if ruru's never heard of it then it doesn't deserve to be in the dictionary ;)

9:58 am

hokie carla

we have some sporks from back when the boys were in cub scouts and we went camping. they might also have a knife on the handle (like a butter knife, not sharp)

9:59 am

HarryHood

45 to go. I have only one ps word - is that accurate?

9:59 am

hurshy

missing only 3 from one of these big tiles is good, but from the U it is not so fabulous

9:59 am

hokie carla

I have 6 p's left and no PS

10:00 am

hurshy

well now you know there is a ps, hokie

10:00 am

saanichcat

it is NOT a dictionary; it is a bad word list

10:00 am

hurshy

one of our Usual Suspects

10:00 am

HarryHood

psork is a combination of pig mean eaten with a spoon.

10:00 am

HarryHood

*meat*

10:03 am

hurshy

anyone have more U words than my two measly ur4s?

10:03 am

hokie carla

ud4

10:03 am

rururocks

I have all the us'

10:04 am

hurshy

ty hokie

10:04 am

rururocks

ur5/14 and 6/24

10:04 am

rururocks

and one us4

10:04 am

HarryHood

ty ruru

10:05 am

hokie carla

thx ru

10:05 am

hurshy

woohoo, thanks ruru!

10:06 am

MollyL

Portmanteau alert. Someone say penultimate.

10:06 am

saanichcat

closed the u for me ru, thanks

10:07 am

hokie carla

this might be the penultimate comment from me right now as I have to go

10:08 am

HarryHood

well?

10:09 am

hokie carla

well, I was saving the last one for goodbye, but now you'll just have to notice I'm gone

10:09 am

HarryHood

:) was waiting for the ultimate compound. have a good day!

10:09 am

saanichcat

well it was anyway the second last...

10:10 am

HarryHood

comment. not compound.

10:10 am

HarryHood

brain has become more and more disconnected from my fingers.

10:11 am

HarryHood

bye all. 38 to go, probably will not resume.

10:11 am

saanichcat

it happens Harry to all of us.

10:13 am

hurshy

i'm surprised we don't have more long words in this grid

10:14 am

rururocks

it took me a long time to find the 8's

10:14 am

rururocks

too long actually

10:15 am

hurshy

i've got 1 so far

10:15 am

saanichcat

zero here

10:16 am

MollyL

The joke of the day is that the word for people who like to use big words is sesquipedalian ðŸ˜Š

10:16 am

hurshy

what's the word for people who have a compulsion to point it out every time other people use big words

10:17 am

rururocks

braggart

10:17 am

rururocks

oh to point out.. i have no idea

10:18 am

rururocks

well it's not like I use Portmanteau in my normal speech hursh reall

10:19 am

hurshy

but when you're talking about words... in a word game setting... you can see how it might be more fitting than in the average conversation

10:20 am

rururocks

i think it's impressive to actually use that word in any comment. it's above my pay grade

10:25 am

saanichcat

hurshy what IS the word for people etc referred in you comment 10:16: was that a real question?

10:25 am

hurshy

i don't think that there is a word for that, saanichcat, lol

10:25 am

hurshy

but if there is i would be happy to learn it

10:26 am

saanichcat

oh darn.

10:26 am

hurshy

we could always make one up

10:26 am

saanichcat

and thanks

10:27 am

MollyL

Saan, that was a knock at me for bringing up the big word usage. It's kind of a joke between Carla and me but it seems like it's bothering people so, well you know.

10:27 am

saanichcat

we should do that for sure, great idea

10:28 am

saanichcat

oooohhhhhh didn't see all that but understand now

10:32 am

hurshy

molly, if it were just portmanteau and just a joke between you and carla, if she also enjoys it, that would be fine. but it's not necessarily everyone that does enjoy that, especially when it's the same thing again every single time. i don't, obviously. a joke repeated a thousand times generally ceases to be funny.

10:34 am

MollyL

Well I'm sure if it had been mentioned a thousand times it would cease to be funny.

10:40 am

saanichcat

after thought, still cannot understand what the bothering is

10:41 am

hurshy

what i am trying to say is that if you have already made a comment about me or a word i've used, please do not make that same comment again repeatedly.

10:42 am

hurshy

i don't like having to hold back from using the word "penultimate" because i know if i do, it will be commented on.

10:43 am

saanichcat

THAT is a normal word; I use it in conversation; what on earth is the fuss

10:44 am

saanichcat

this may be my penultimate comment today, very tired,

10:45 am

hurshy

did you not sleep well last night?

10:46 am

saanichcat

no, was up all night. it happens sometimes; it'sOK

10:47 am

hurshy

it sucks though :(

10:51 am

sammysmom

stuck n the de/6-s4 ??

10:51 am

saanichcat

it does for sure; however a daily problem. have learned to love the wee ours though, so peaceful

10:53 am

sammysmom

de 6 -24 that is

10:58 am

hurshy

i'll look, don't have that either, sammysmom

10:59 am

hurshy

oho, it is a tyrant

10:59 am

hurshy

like kim jong un

11:00 am

saanichcat

thanks hurshy, a fish, duh

11:02 am

sammysmom

got it - thanks hursh

11:02 am

sammysmom

12:56 pm

saanichcat

4:43 pm

BzznBea

Molly, what are you serving for SB Sunday?

4:43 pm

amelu0218

I tried orks, too. even orkan. think it'd be a proper noun, tho.

4:43 pm

dcseain
