Great clue mary. Ty.

10:49 am

gremlinn

"plugh" is in the board, for anyone who recognizes it.

11:01 am

gremlinn

fw, no list

11:09 am

hokie carla

howdy folks

11:09 am

hokie carla

gremlinn, let me know when you have to use the list ðŸ˜œ

11:11 am

hokie carla

meanwhile, I'm making up words like splurp to no avail

11:14 am

gremlinn

Need any clues?

11:14 am

hokie carla

just started but thanks

11:14 am

hokie carla

I did get the gu8/9 from below. would never have tried that.

11:15 am

gremlinn

I didn't get that before the clue but I'd been looking for compounds with those last 4 letters. Just hadn't guessed that particular one.

11:17 am

penquis

hello all...

11:18 am

hokie carla

pen!

11:18 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :) It's been a struggle just to find 80 words never mind the other 125. The only ur words I can find all come from the u on the left

11:18 am

hokie carla

name that stooge!

11:18 am

penquis

Shemp...

11:18 am

penquis

hi nan....

11:18 am

hokie carla

âœ…âœ…âœ…

11:19 am

hokie carla

hey nan, just doing my first pass but struggling to get half on each tile before moving on. this one is tough.

11:21 am

cybernan

main drag is Spokane is in the grid

11:21 am

hokie carla

never been to spokane

11:21 am

cybernan

and czech republic city

11:21 am

hokie carla

never been there either

11:22 am

cybernan

but you know the city I'm sure

11:22 am

hokie carla

this u is undoable

11:22 am

cybernan

I think so too

11:23 am

penquis

there are two Star Trek names in the grid...

11:23 am

MollyL

I bet you've never been to Spain. But you kinda like the music.

11:23 am

hokie carla

anyone watching the new one?

11:24 am

penquis

have access, but have not seen the latest one...

11:24 am

hokie carla

I have only seen a handful of the original episodes but for some reason I'm like, maybe I should watch this new one

11:25 am

MollyL

I see the S Star Trek name. What does the other one start with? Uhura doesn't work.

11:25 am

hokie carla

phantom usual

11:25 am

penquis

Also S....not one of the crew....

11:26 am

cybernan

only s names I know are scotty and spock

11:26 am

MollyL

Oh that is too deep into Star Trek for me.

11:26 am

hokie carla

and shatner. she didn't specify actor or character.

11:26 am

MollyL

You know another one Nan

11:27 am

penquis

character...

11:27 am

cybernan

oh and sulu

11:27 am

moolingwa

morning all

11:28 am

hokie carla

moooo

11:28 am

penquis

hi mool...

11:28 am

moolingwa

hey hoke

11:28 am

hokie carla

which is a word, thanks, nan

11:28 am

moolingwa

hey pen

11:28 am

moolingwa

204 to go :)

11:28 am

cybernan

sorry - didn't know it was a word

11:29 am

MollyL

Oh, Spock's father

11:29 am

hokie carla

127 here. had to move on from at least 3 tiles before getting half.

11:29 am

penquis

79 here....

11:29 am

moolingwa

sounds ominous

11:30 am

hokie carla

didn't we talk about spock's mother recently and molly & I both said we didn't know his mother was ever mentioned.

11:30 am

penquis

ding, ding, ding!!....nice, Molly....

11:30 am

penquis

yes, it was used in a clue...

11:30 am

penquis

she appeared in more than one episode, i think....

11:30 am

hokie carla

next level nerdery, pen

11:31 am

penquis

:oD

11:31 am

gremlinn

No Uhura, but Ursula is in there.

11:31 am

moolingwa

I didn't know Spock had a mother

11:32 am

penquis

yes, an earthling..... ;o)

11:32 am

hokie carla

don't worry, you're nerdy in other ways ðŸ˜œ

11:32 am

gremlinn

He wasn't grown in a lab. :)

11:32 am

moolingwa

well he could've been...I mean it's sci-fi :)

11:33 am

hokie carla

wait, spock's not full vulcan?

11:33 am

gremlinn

Another name in the grid: Hermes

11:34 am

gremlinn

phantom I kept seeing was "measure"

11:35 am

hokie carla

just saw plural

11:35 am

moolingwa

a certain toyota in there too

11:35 am

gremlinn

prius

11:35 am

penquis

Spock's mother was human....

11:36 am

hokie carla

I figured when you said earthling ðŸ˜œ

11:36 am

gremlinn

Did Spock get enraged at being called a half-breed one time? Seems vaguely like it happened

11:36 am

moolingwa

well she could've been a badger

11:36 am

hokie carla

phantom purple

11:36 am

cybernan

too much repetiveness in this grid

11:36 am

moolingwa

sounds like a character in the marvel universe

11:36 am

gremlinn

phantom I saw yesterday but forgot until now: meshuga / meshugah

11:37 am

penquis

perhaps....he identified with his Vulcan side and viewed his human side as weak....

11:38 am

MollyL

There is a lot of reptetiveness Nan

11:38 am

hokie carla

surprised/not surprised one who throws up isn't allowed

11:38 am

MollyL

And a lot of phantoms

11:38 am

moolingwa

well that's just sick

11:38 am

penquis

same here...

11:38 am

MollyL

I was suprised by that too Carla

11:39 am

MollyL

It won't take barfer either

11:39 am

hokie carla

one of my kids was a pu4r

11:40 am

MollyL

It takes hu4er though

11:40 am

hokie carla

that's probably for baseball pitcher

11:42 am

gremlinn

yep, defined as a baseball pitcher

11:42 am

MollyL

Well, we can think of it what we will

11:42 am

gremlinn

hu4 in the other sense always makes me think back to Bill and Ted.

11:43 am

MollyL

You never know who might be hu4ing what

11:43 am

MollyL

It doesn'

11:43 am

MollyL

doesn't like he4er either

11:43 am

MollyL

I know a few of those

11:44 am

moolingwa

well, first pass and still 75 to go...this is going to be a long one today

11:44 am

cybernan

time to head out for coffee -- dreadful grid, but enjoy the chat :)

11:44 am

gremlinn

11:44 am

hokie carla

11:44 am

hokie carla

11:44 am

12:30 pm

gremlinn

I always find the short K words annoying, too many that are rare and hard to remember.

12:32 pm

gremlinn

hokie: there's another ke6 that's almost the same, assuming that's the muppet you meant

12:32 pm

gremlinn

dan2bit

im7 also seems sus

6:56 pm

gremlinn

and phantom impresa

6:57 pm

penquis

i keep wanting to type in PLURAL.... hello all...

6:57 pm

gremlinn

(a device or emblem with a motto, apparently)

7:00 pm

ChampFit

The im- annoys me too.

7:30 pm

hokie carla

rehi - internet finally back on

7:30 pm

penquis

carla!

7:31 pm

hokie carla

pen!

7:31 pm

penquis

this one is proving to be hard to close out...

7:34 pm

hokie carla

probably won't finish

7:38 pm

ChampFit

The BEST part is when you find a word with no def. GAHHH!

7:44 pm

penquis

hah!

7:44 pm

penquis

went through the list and still have 9 to find... ;o(

7:45 pm

Gillie

Definitions can usually be found using Google if not at dictionary.com, though they sometimes look fishy

7:46 pm

ChampFit

I'm sure, but the mere idea that it's not readily available is super annoying.

7:47 pm

gremlinn

It's the Wild West when it comes to authoritative English dictionaries.

7:48 pm

gremlinn

Or word lists (what counts as a word), even.

7:48 pm

ChampFit

DONE. My last word was a red stone. Hate when it's one I should've gotten!

7:48 pm

penquis

congrats....

7:49 pm

ChampFit

Any clues before I go?

7:49 pm

hokie carla

I think I saw it is im7 and maybe stupid but I haven't found it

7:51 pm

hokie carla

thanks, that is weird

7:51 pm

gremlinn

also sounds like the word (not in the grid) which would be a person belonging to an empire

7:51 pm

ChampFit

the first I is im7 and the second is im4. Bugsaw clued the 4

7:51 pm

hurshy

ah ty gremlin and hokie

7:51 pm

ChampFit

G'night all...good luck!
