Good morning

d7/32

12:14 am

Hugabugs

Well, technically, it's just after midnight here, so it is sorta morning.

12:15 am

sprite

LOL!
Guess you are right... I am rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and you are fighting to keep them open, so what's the difference?

12:15 am

Doogle

Make that s6/36 x2.

12:16 am

jaydee

Morning to you all!

12:16 am

Blaze

doogle is there a clue for that s6/32 ??

12:19 am

sprite

Jaydee, you are almost in the grid!

12:20 am

jaydee

thanks Sprite , feel a bit isolated over here!

12:20 am

Doogle

Hey - guess what?

One of the S6/36s is a fish!

12:21 am

Hugabugs

t6/30

12:22 am

sprite

We're all too busy babbling to be decent chatters, I am afraid ;).
Your name gave me a nice Y4/10, by the way.

12:23 am

sprite

Frustration! It will not take 'cheyenne'. :(

12:23 am

llama

any clue on how many words today? I just want to know what I'm getting myself into! =)

12:24 am

jaydee

132words

12:24 am

sprite

Not too bad, it's 132 today.
I can make stats, if you like. If nobody else is doing it right now?

12:24 am

sfneil

Hi, everyone! (Still evening here.)

12:25 am

yay - that's doable without too much stress!

Hi, sfneil, it's a fun grid so far.

12:33 am

Doogle

a6/27

12:34 am

sfneil

Hi Sprite! Yeah, looks like a challenge. So far I've typed many more invalid words than valid ones! I'm feeling kind of dumb tonight...

12:36 am

sprite

Same here, there are lots of combinations in there that should be words. Also have a problem with that promising in- that can only make one word :(
I keep seeing more (very invalid) words with it.

12:37 am

sfneil

Precisely. Especially that 'in'!

12:39 am

Krys10

Yeah, I feel like I am headed downstream despite paddling upstream :) - none of my noodling and guesses are panning out tonight!

12:41 am

Krys10

I do, however, have all the C's:
C4 x5, C5 x2, C6 x2, all but one word have the same second letter.

12:41 am

sfneil

Thanks, Krys10!

12:42 am

Hugabugs

Thanks Krys... I was missing one

12:43 am

Krys10

W's: W4 x4, W5 x3, W6 x1

12:47 am

Doogle

Gotta stop for now at only 72. :( I had a 5-hour polka gig this afternoon that has left me weary and scarred on many levels, and must needs rest my aching head and psyche. G'night all!

12:47 am

Hugabugs

G'nite Doogle... sleep well

12:48 am

sprite

Okay, now we have got something.
There is an A5/12 and there is a D4/8 - 5/18 combo. Put them together and you find A7/44 - 8/60.

12:48 am

sprite

Sweet dreams!

12:48 am

sfneil

Night, Doogle... you've still got more than I... I am not seeing things tonight!

12:52 am

sprite

E8/75 (compound) Nice one! We could exchange ours in the chat today ;)

12:54 am

Hugabugs

Sprite - is there more than 1 a5/12?

12:54 am

sprite

Quite a few names in the grid today! Got a T, an H and an N so far.

12:55 am

Krys10

yeah, i have two already

12:55 am

sprite

I have A5x12 x 2 and I think I have got them all now.

12:56 am

Doogle

There's a D name too. (sorry, couldn't go to sleep with Sprite's tantalizing hints unsolved!)

12:56 am

Hugabugs

then your clue must be for the one I don't have! :(

btw... brown

12:57 am

Krys10

got your E8, thanks for the clue.

12:57 am

Doogle

blue here.

12:58 am

sprite

Mine is somewhere between brown and green. Great, Hugabugs, at least one female name to keep things balanced.

1:00 am

sprite

Hugabugs, you need to change one letter of the A5 to make the combination. The words sort of overlap in the biggies. The A5 you need is not the past one, but the charged one.

1:01 am

melissamay

I'm somewhere between brown and green too, sprite, but this puzzle is making them red.

1:01 am

Hugabugs

Got my 2 8's now... still working on the a6/27, one of the s6/36 and the d7/32

1:03 am

sprite

Can't believe myself. Looking for my last D, and now I realise I did not enter the female name, just posted about it...

1:03 am

Doogle

A blenny that glistens would be a s6/36 s6/36.

1:05 am

sprite

ROFLMAO! Great clue, Doogle!

1:05 am

Hugabugs

the blenny, it is then

1:07 am

sprite

H7/56, also a compound.

1:10 am

Hugabugs

blimey there's a ton of blenny

1:12 am

Doogle

That would be a blentitude, I believe.

1:12 am

Krys10

Found the H7 after trying a bunch of silly compounds (ie "hatnewt"

1:14 am

Hugabugs

LOL that's a good one Doogle....

and I finally found it!

1:15 am

Hugabugs

h6/48 is compounded too

1:20 am

sfneil

ugh... FINALLY found the e8/75. I'm telling you... I'm not on tonight!

1:21 am

Hugabugs

and... what's your's sfneil?

1:21 am

sprite

You found it, that's good enough ;)

1:22 am

sfneil

baby blue, hugs! you?

1:22 am

Hugabugs

dark brown

1:22 am

sfneil

nice!

1:23 am

Hugabugs

:o) thank you... so are yours!

1:23 am

Krys10

Ok, I'm at a complete loss looking for the Y's - anyone have a list? It's the bottom one I'm having trouble with.. all I have is a YE4 so far.

1:24 am

Krys10

(mine are brown too) :)

1:26 am

Hugabugs

nice eyes too Krys10... I got a ye4/7 and ye4/12 so far... still looking for the others

1:26 am

Doogle

And it won't take yeeha!

1:26 am

sfneil

Krys, the other two Ys are an interjection expressing disgust and its plural

1:27 am

sprite

Ya4/10
Ye4/12
Ye5/26
Ye4/7
Yo4/11
Yo5/24
Yo4/8

1:27 am

Doogle

Thanks, Neil.

1:27 am

sfneil

er, the other two bottom-row Ys... no idea yet on the others

1:27 am

Krys10

found 'em. *insert expression of disgust here* TY

1:27 am

sfneil

Thanks, Sprite!

1:30 am

Hugabugs

I wonder when yoda will make it to a dictionary! ;o)

1:31 am

Doogle

Note to self: memorize all Hebrew letters.

1:31 am

Doogle

And what about that O? Am I missing something obvious again?

1:33 am

sprite

No, it isn't obvious and it surprises me it is in the grid. Well, it is not the first offending word babble accepts.
O4/10: Used as a disparaging term for a white person.
Takes a bit uncommon second letter.

1:34 am

sfneil

Wow, Sprite! I certainly would not have expected that!

1:34 am

melissamay

I'm none too fond of the f5/18 either, but at least there's an alternative meaning besides the disparaging one.

1:35 am

Doogle

Thanks, Sprite. Wasn't even looking in that direction.

1:35 am

Hugabugs

I've never even heard of that word before

1:36 am

Doogle

Reputed to be of pig-latin origin.

1:36 am

sprite

Strange, the words that are valid in the enable dictionary. Quite a few discriminating terms, both on ethnic and on sexual preference grounds. Always feel a bit ashamed to enter them and admit I know them ;)

1:39 am

sfneil

It is the same with the accepted Scrabble dictionaries except, ironically, for the "Official Scrabble Dictionary". The Official Word List and the others contain many offensive terms, in an effort at completeness, I assume.

1:42 am

sprite

We have 1921 points today, average length 4.66. If anyone needs clues, I'll be around for another 10 minutes, I think. Good hunting to you all!

1:43 am

Hugabugs

well done again, Sprite! Congrats

1:43 am

melissamay

Congrats, sprite! Since you're offering, I can't seem to find the w6 -- is it related to either of the 5s in some way I'm not seeing?

1:45 am

sfneil

And, if you have time, I could use a clue to the 8 that is not the e8/75. I'm feeling particularly buffle-brained today!

1:45 am

melissamay

Or I should say any of the w5s, since there are three of them.

1:47 am

sfneil

Ugh... three w5s?? Maybe I should just give up and call it a night!

1:48 am

sprite

W6: it is, but you need to insert a letter. You could also built on the W5/16.

A8: see 12.48 am for my first clue.
Def: capable of soothing or eliminating pain, relaxing

1:48 am

sfneil

Okay, cancel the despairing tone... found the third w5!

1:49 am

sprite

*make that 'build'* (argh)

1:49 am

melissamay

Oh sprite, I can't believe I missed that cute word! Thanks.

1:50 am

sfneil

Thanks, Sprite! Got the w6... am tracking down your earlier clue on the a8.

1:53 am

sfneil

Thanks again, Sprite!! Got the a7 and a8 and picked up a few others on the way!

2:08 am

Hugabugs

woohoo... Finished the A's

2:10 am

Blaze

hugs that gives me hope I still have 6 A's to go and then on to the other 67 words

2:10 am

Hugabugs

I've got 16 to go.... and I'm just monkey typing now

2:11 am

sfneil

hugs I need three more a's... list, pretty please?

2:12 am

Hugabugs

Hmmm... let's see what I can put together... since you asked so nicely!

2:12 am

sfneil

You're the top!

2:15 am

Hugabugs

I think it's too early for the 2nd letter... but this should give you a pretty good idea of all the A's

a 5 12
a 5 18

Blaze

2:17 am

Hugabugs

I need 3 t's, 3 d's, 3 s's, 3 e's, 2 n's and 1 H. *sigh*

2:22 am

sfneil

Wish I could help, hugs, but I'm behind you on all those letters!

2:23 am

Hugabugs

got the E's done... and knocked one off the s's But my eyes are getting droopy

2:24 am

sfneil

Mine, too! And I'm so far from home! Any hint on the a6/27?

2:30 am

Hugabugs

neil - Did the clue work for ya?

2:30 am

Blaze

thank you krys and hugs

2:31 am

sfneil

Yes, indeed! I never would have thought that was a word!

2:32 am

Hugabugs

Me neither, but it gets to the point where I go through my list and throw an a or an re, or an in or an en in front if it fits with the puzzle

2:34 am

sfneil

Yes, me, too. But you just saved me about two monkey-hours of typing!

2:34 am

Chessy

morning all - my monkeys thank you ...:)

2:34 am

Krys10

*sigh* two words to go, eyes slamming shut, must leave the office - ta, all!

2:35 am

Hugabugs

Bye Krys... thanks for all the help!

2:35 am

sfneil

2:55 am

Dianne

Help - I can't find the A5/16 - not the A plus man's name.
Any hints - please.

2:56 am

Hugabugs

when something really gets on your nerves... it's so a5ing

2:56 am

sfneil

G'nite hugabugs! I have to go soon, too. I've still got 16 left! Ugh.

Thanks for all the help!

2:56 am

Blaze

You usually do not want your kids to A***** you when you are playing babble ..

2:56 am

Hugabugs

Nites neil... see you tomorrow

2:59 am

Dianne

Hugabug and Blaze - sorry I was A5/16ing you :) thanks.

3:00 am

sfneil

Okay, I've reached the point where you say to yourself, "okay, 'nade' cannot possibly be a word", then you type it in anyway, and then you're really a5ed that it really wasn't a word.

So, I'm going to bed! Goodnight all! Good luck and thanks for all the help!

3:01 am

Dianne

Anyone have a list of the Ds? I need to start shipping away at those.

3:01 am

Blaze

Dianne you could never a 5/16 me or hugs.... do you have the a6/27 it eludes me...

3:04 am

Dianne

Blze - some one had a great clue earlier.....if you are in the middle of two people you A----- them.

3:04 am

For a6/27: You've heard the expression "betwixt and be-----"? Imagine it started "atwixt..."

4:27 am

FMitch

I am missing 1 t, according to the list earlier I think it is the 1st t5/16, can anyone help with a 2nd letter and a clue?

4:29 am

FMitch

Hi Dianne, hows it going today? Can't help on the d's yet sorry.

4:33 am

4:45 am

FMitch

sorry Dianne, going crosseyed from 4th go down and then up/left but this only works if you are using the correct 3rd & 4th letter positions.. Im probably making this worse lol

5:02 am

Dianne

Helz - my brain must be fried. Can't find the Ta6 no matter what I type - it won't take tanny and that would be a 16 point word:(

5:03 am

lola100

5:20 am

helzchux

5:21 am

lola100

Ooops, it's the O that's derogatory! Makes more sense now...lol!

5:34 am

Dianne

Does anyone have a list of the H words?

5:34 am

oggy

can anyone tell me what the 2 8letter words begin with please.

5:35 am

SunnFlower

oggy e and a

5:35 am

lola100

LOL! You guys aren't going to forget that, are you?! I am actually working on the E's at the mo, but I think it may be a while before I pluck up the courage to post word lists again!

5:36 am

SunnFlower

sorry dianne Ive only got 4

5:38 am

SunnFlower

good morning jacula

5:38 am

Jacula

Lola. I had to smile reading the part of the chat log yesterday. I could feel you cringing. I suppose the best way to post the lists is to put 'em in Notepad first and edit them there. Anyway, don't beat yourself up - it could have happened to any one of us.

5:38 am

Dianne

ferrari - they are probably the same 4 that I have.

5:39 am

FMitch

I've got 4 too perhaps they are different ones (we should be so lucky)? They are
ha4/7
ha4/10
he5/22
hy5/2 2

5:39 am

Anj

...a while?? OK, who are you and what have you done with the real Lola?! Good Morning Babbleland :D

5:40 am

lola100

Cringe is not the word, I felt awful. There is nothing worse than someone who spoils a game for other people. I'm not that computer savvy and it had not occured to me to edit in notepad first, but believe me, I will be doing so in the future!

5:40 am

Jacula

Morning Ferrari. I see the Sicilian volcano isn't quite in today's grid and I thought I'd got away from it yesterday until it popped up in The Mail on Sunday mag's crossword. Which reminds me, does anyone know that answer to 5 down in that?

5:40 am

SunnFlower

he4/8

5:41 am

helzchux

Dianne-there's also he4/8

5:42 am

lola100

Hi Anj :)

5:42 am

Jacula

Dianne - I've only got 4 h's so far.

Morning Anj.

5:43 am

Dianne

I have a He6/48 as well.

5:43 am

SunnFlower

have stopped buying it since started babbling which is probably unfair cos that's where first heard of it - the answer to my dreams cos played babble first 20 odd years ago and noone wouldl play with me aah

5:44 am

SunnFlower

sorry boggle going boggle eyed

5:45 am

lola100

dianne- I have an ha7/56.

5:45 am

SunnFlower

or should that be babble eyed

5:45 am

Jacula

Lots of Christian names in today's grid. It reads like a school register. LOL.

5:45 am

Anj

Hi Lola, Hi Jac :) I think this one is going to be caffeine heavy. I already have a bad feeling about the 8 As on the top row :/

5:46 am

Jacula

Even Cilla from Corrie's son is in there!

5:47 am

lola100

Talking of which, it's your turn to make babe ;)

5:47 am

Jacula

I've found 'Fat Annie' now. LOL.

5:49 am

Anj

Coming right up...a large cafetiere of java with a hint of mint choc to get the ol' brain cells energised :)

5:50 am

lola100

Thanks Anj, I need it this morning :)

5:50 am

Dianne

lola - gee, shucks - I got that h7/56. thanks for letting me know there was an H7.

5:51 am

helzchux

special guest star YODA!

5:51 am

lola100

You're welcome Dianne :) How are you doing with the E's?

5:52 am

Anj

...yes, but grid, Yoda, accepted not :/

5:54 am

lola100

Aaah, the force is strong within the babble grid today, yes!

5:54 am

Jacula

LOL, Anj.

One of Larry Grayson's catchphrases is in there, 'What a g*****!' If you remove the happy part and pluralise the end it gives you a da4/8.

5:55 am

swmbo

58 words in. Time to shower and go to *shudder* WORK. Will try to sneak in some Babbling though...BBL...

5:56 am

Dianne

lola - doing terrible with the Es. All I have are E4/7 x 3 and the E8. UGH!

5:56 am

FMitch

Do you want a listing for the e's?

5:56 am

Anj

lol Jac...always wondered who Slack Alice was :)

5:57 am

Jacula

Anj - Don't forget Fagash Lil.

5:58 am

FMitch

e list posted at 3.56

5:58 am

Anj

ooooh shut that door! Now this is scary. I was more a Forsyth fan myself. Even had the carpet tile to prove it lol

5:59 am

Dianne

I've got the E list - what I need are the E words.

5:59 am

lola100

Dianne- LOL!

6:02 am

FMitch

for the e8 think sunglasses but think it in 2 words and reference your sh5/18

6:02 am

lola100

dianne- ec4/7: similar to the word for the reflection of sound. Plural of that gives you ec5/22 :)

6:02 am

Chris P

Does anyone have the d6/30 they can let me have a clue for. Thanks

6:03 am

Jen

Good morning all! How's the puzzle today?

6:04 am

Eva

Good morning. Can someone tell me what the word count is today?

6:04 am

SunnFlower

6:04 am

lola100

6:05 am

Dianne

lola - thank you - you are so nice:)

6:06 am

Anj

Morning Jen...i'm beginning to suspect today's grid has been set by Torquemada :/

Eva - 132 words total

6:06 am

FMitch

Eva - 132 words today

6:06 am

Eva

Thanks Anj and FMitch!

6:06 am

SunnFlower

chrisP see dianne's great clue at 5.11am

6:06 am

lola100

You are most welcome Dianne :)

6:07 am

EdArzakh

Chris P - the d6/30 - it's a cellular biology term - begins with DY. Good luck - the definition fried my brain.

6:07 am

Jen

Anj, I think you are right! I can usually just look at the puzzle and rattle off 10-15 4 letter words quickly, but it's all gibberish today! :)

6:09 am

Anj

Not quite the challenge I wanted on a Monday lol

6:09 am

Dianne

ferrari - I'm missing the same H as you are.

6:10 am

Chris P

Thanks EdArzakh - I'd managed to miss that one.

6:11 am

Dianne

I'm missing E4/8 and E5/22 - anyone have any help, clues, hints for me? Please.

6:11 am

lola100

I have an ha4/8.

6:13 am

lola100

e5/22, past tense of e4/9.

6:14 am

Dianne

lola - thank you. Why didn't I see that word?

6:17 am

Dianne

lola - I keep say this - thank you - got that E5. Now only the E4/8 to go one the bothersome things.

6:17 am

SunnFlower

oh for goodness sake blind again thanks lola

6:19 am

lola100

Dianne- just can't think of any way to help, such a funny little word..... I can tell you that the first letter is the only vowel and it looks like it's a plural?

6:22 am

Dianne

lola - funny little word was a good clue - I should have gotten that much sooner - it has been in the puzzle before. do you need any help - I certainly would be pleased if you did (and I could).

6:22 am

SunnFlower

dianne its an anagram of your s4/8

6:23 am

Anj

Dianne, do you have the sh4/8 - wooden hut at the bottom of the garden, usually full of gardening equipment, deckchairs, 150 half used tins of paint etc?
the e4/8 is an anagram of that :)

6:25 am

Dianne

Thanks to all the help I've gotten I have polished off the Es - phew.

6:28 am

FMitch

can anyone post a list of the n's? plleeaassee

6:29 am

Dianne

Fmitch - I'm struggling with the Ns as well - only have 4.

SunnFlower

Anj - thank you for the N list - at least I have a starting point now.

6:46 am

Anj

No probs - yell if you need any clues for those :)

6:49 am

Dianne

Anj - the list did the trick - got the Ns. Now just need that i word.

6:52 am

Jacula

Dianne - the 'i' word sounds like a way of saying 'mad' or 'barmy' but take a consonant out.

6:52 am

Dianne

Hip hip hooray - I got the i word and am now done. Must make dinner but will wait a little to help if anyone needs it.

6:55 am

Jera

I can't find it either, Jen...

7:20 am

Alleyn

Jera

7:21 am

Jen

7:22 am

Alleyn

Pleasure........

7:30 am

Everyone have a great day.

8:09 am

lola100

Hi, I'm back :) Got some catch up to do!

8:11 am

Anj

...chase me, chase me! :)

8:12 am

lola100

*throws chocolate stick* Fetch boy, fetch!!!

8:14 am

Jera

Welcome back, lola, I'm sorry for not seeing you earlier... I wasn't ignoring you on purpose...

8:14 am

lola100

lol! No worries Jera :)

8:14 am

Anj

...tsk! The indignity of it all... :/ *goes scampering after aforementioned stick*

8:15 am

mickie

Good morning. Getting a late start today but am ready to start!

8:16 am

lola100

Hi mickie :)

8:17 am

mickie

Hi Lola!

8:17 am

Jera

Lola, I have a mom question for you... our sons are about the same age... Gwyd will be 4 on Saturday... do you cut your son's grapes??

8:19 am

lola100

Jera- my daughter is 3 and a bit and I used to but don't any more. Are you worried about him choking?

8:21 am

Jera

I'm sorry, I thought you had a boy... yes, he gets mightily offended when I tryt o cut his grapes... he's never choked but likes to eat on the run... he's NEVER wanted me to cut them, maybe because of Sprite (she's 5 years older)

8:24 am

lola100

Jera- I would let him get on with it. There are probably loads of other things that are easier to choke on that we haven't even thought about!

8:25 am

Jera

Yup, I get a bit paranoid about choking, had to do first aid on a little one back in my babysitting days

8:26 am

Jen

Lola and Jera, at least you can get your kids to eat grapes! The only fruit my son will eat is bananas! :(

8:27 am

lola100

Yeah, it's not easy to let go of them, is it? You have to be so watchful when they are babies and the next thing you know they are little people who don't want you cutting their grapes!

8:28 am

Jera

My boy eats fruit & meat... he's into the no carb thing, I gues!

8:28 am

lola100

Jen- lol! Mine would eat nothing (and I am not kidding here) but bananas for about three months when she was about one year old!

8:29 am

Jera

It started before he was even 2! he would give me this evil look, like ''Do you think I'm an idiot, woman? I can chew for pity's sake!"

8:29 am

Jera

Oh lola... scaaaaary diapers....

8:29 am

Jen

Mine is into the no fruit/veggies thing, LOL. I've given up for the moment because he's so pigheaded.

8:30 am

Jera

No veggies here except, oddly enough, for broccoli! He LOVES the stuff!!

8:30 am

movieman

Hi, movieman here again - ne chance anyone of you good folks out there in Babbleland could give me hintz and/or definitions 4 the 8's...I always have difficulty with the long words...

Muchos gracias...

8:32 am

Jen

movieman, the a8 is a plural of a7...Capable of soothing or eliminating pain
the e8... think sunglasses

8:32 am

Jen

Jera, where in NoVa are you? I'm in Herndon.

8:35 am

Jera

I'm over in Lorton, Jen, not far at all!

8:36 am

Uneaixoise

thanks for the e8 clue, jen!

8:37 am

Jen

no big, Une! :)

8:42 am

Alleyn

I am so happy. I've done the 8s! Any clues for the 7s!

8:45 am

ExWren

just two to finish the 2's. the last 5/18 and one of the 4/7's..anyyyone???

8:45 am

ExWren

sorry, meant the S's

8:46 am

Jera

Yay, Alleyn! I must finish this puzzle today, my ranking is really slipping. My husband had to commandeer the computer last night for a work emergency, so i didn't get to finish.

8:46 am

DarleenMB

I see Wyoming is represented in the puzzle today... too bad it won't accept "Cheyenne"

8:47 am

mickie

I thought the same thing Darleen!

8:48 am

Jera

The I word is one of my favorite words!

8:48 am

DarleenMB

great minds, eh?

8:49 am

Anj

Alleyn, the 7s are:
a744 - singular of you a8
d7/32 - sounds like plural Osmond brother - starte with your do4/5 (meaning finished) and build on that. You can 6 words from that the look the same
ha7/56 - yokel, rural looney? what livestock eat, plus what a plant grows from

8:51 am

Anj

Sorry for the brutal typing. It's hard to type with paws :'(

8:54 am

kc8501

y help! I'm missing one....
ya 4 10
ye 4 12
ye 5 26
ye 4 7
yo 4 11
yo 4 8

8:54 am

movieman

Anj - any chance of an actual definition 4 the d7?

Muchos gracias...

8:54 am

Jacula

pluralise your yo4/11

8:55 am

kc8501

thanks jacula... stupid plurals/ other endings always get me

8:55 am

Anj

Movieman, one of those no def words, but it sounds like people who give things, or maybe body parts to others :)

8:57 am

Jacula

Movieman - Think of the most famous Osmond Brother (Puppy Love) not the one who was a Long-Haired Lover From Liverpool. Hope that helps.

8:57 am

Alleyn

Anj - No way can I expand the do/4. Done the A7 but others are alluding me?

9:01 am

lola100

movieman- how are you with your 16th century poets? Famous poet John Do*** plus a vowel and pluralised will give you your do7/32 :)

9:02 am

Alleyn

Got the Osmond brother but unable to plural him!!! A yokel?

9:02 am

Jacula

Good clue that, Lola.

9:04 am

Jacula

ha4/10 minus the last letter plus se4/5 equals ha7/65.

9:04 am

Alleyn

D's done. Just the h/7 please

9:04 am

Anj

Alleyn, by slight of hand ;)
- add an e to the end (d5)
- then give it a double n (d6)
- plural that (d7)
- take out the extra n (d6)
- then put it back and take off the e & s

Does that make sense?

9:06 am

movieman

To everyone who aided me re: the 7's and 8's - got them all - now 4 the rest...

9:07 am

Alleyn

Anj - Ds done! Yokel clue PLEASE........need to do the washing..........!!!

9:07 am

Jacula

Alleyn - gave you the yokel at 9.04

9:08 am

lola100

Woooah, go Anj!

9:09 am

movieman

Alleyn - for the h7 think the grassy stuff that cattle eat plus what it grows from...

9:10 am

Jacula

Edited cos end was wrong. Yokel clue:ha4/10 minus the last letter plus se4/5 equals ha7/56.

9:12 am

Anj

Alleyn, there's a country rock band from Minnesota called The Killer H........s who have an album out called 'The Good Old Days' That should google :)

9:13 am

Alleyn

Got it! Wow what a weird word......thank you SO much all of you - up to 76 words! Eureka

9:16 am

swmbo

sfneil, there is another e, an e4/7 I think, but I don't have it...

Hi cathy!

9:23 am

Jacula

it's an ey4/7 - think of the surname of a famous literary heroine and change the penultimate letter.

9:23 am

Anj

Hey, Toyah is in here today too :) Now we will all be singing I want to be free lol

9:23 am

She also does the voice on the teletubbies :)

9:27 am

cathy22w

i remember the lisp and the hair more than anything

9:27 am

Jacula

kc - we5/22 - a p**** for your thoughts.

9:27 am

Haz1558

The second w 5/22 looks like the name of a girl character in Peter Pan but replace the d with an n.

9:28 am

macadam

Doesn`t toyah do Brum?

9:28 am

lola100

Hi mom :)

No teletubbies here today (aside from Fat Annie who I mentioned earlier). There is kiddy programme character though - tw6/36.

9:29 am

macadam

Hi lola ,Is tiny being good ?

10:12 am

Jacula

Speaking of chocolate, you should see the birthday cake my daughter's just made for her boyfriend - choc sponge with a white chocalate & white malteser filling, topped with white chocolate, brown maltesers and fudge! There might well be a slice gone out of it before he arrives tonight.;-)

10:12 am

Anj

Lola, words aren't enough :)

Jacula ~ I keep having to refresh my browser to keep up with the chatlog today. It is running very slowly. Try that and maybe your picture will update.

11:11 am

lianakate

speaking of delicious treats..i guess i must go eat my yummy lunch (blech) Low fat cottage cheese, and a couple of slices of canned lite peaches..oh booooooooo

11:11 am

Jacula

Minski - I tried refreshing before and it didn't work. Has now I've tried it again though.

11:11 am

Uneaixoise

what are you doing eating canned peaches when there are still fabulous South Carolina peaches to be had?!

11:11 am

FMitch

lianakate - what works for you in the alternative yum arena?

11:12 am

lianakate

Unex..i dont have any on hand..and I have to go grocery shopping..will get some, just to please you..lol, (thanks for the reminder)!!

11:13 am

lianakate

there ARE no yum alternatives, FMitch..lol. I eat what I must..and hate it.

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

just a few blocks from my house is an outdoor market that's had them all summer--I'm basically turning into a peach!

11:15 am

FMitch

sheesh, thats not fair

11:16 am

Uneaixoise

and up until a couple of weeks ago they'd had local homegrown tomatoes (since July) . . . usually last longer but we've had a terrible drought this summer

11:17 am

mtnjock

Ripley tomatoes are still in season Une...

11:17 am

Krys10

Anj, you still around? Can you give me a definition for that dy6 you were missing?

11:17 am

Uneaixoise

you folks across the pond have had a rough summer as well, right? or was it just on "the continent"?

11:18 am

sfneil

Uneaixoise, where are you located? We have insanely good produce in the farmers markets in San Francisco right now.

11:19 am

Krys10

Yeah! Blueberry season has gone on about two months longer than I had expected. I just moved here from Oakland - which is the best Farmers Market in SF, Neil?

11:20 am

FMitch

We have had some pretty high teperatures this summer and lots of wet bits too but not as bad as some parts of mainland Europe. Now we are definately into Autumn

11:21 am

sfneil

I really like the Ferry Plaza market. It is insanely crowded, but they have the best vendors, and it's easiest for me to get to without a car. I go early so I'm there when it opens and is less madly crowded.

11:22 am

Jacula

The 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' is just beginning here in UK. I am somewhat overwhelmed by 'mellow fruitfulness' and have been picking, cooking and/or freezing stuff hand over fist. Which reminds me - I've still got a stack of golden plums to finish picking.

11:22 am

Uneaixoise

sfneil, I KNOW . . . I'm in Nashville, Tennessee . . . when I've visited California I've been VERY jealous of your year-round fresh produce!

11:23 am

sfneil

Yes, we are extremely lucky here.

11:23 am

Krys10

Thanks for the recommendation. Will see about going (early) this Saturday. Only that stupid dy6 and I'm done! Ack!

11:24 am

sfneil

Well, I've done the laundry and the folding, finished my Babble, showered and dressed and I'm only half an hour late for work!

Talk to you all later, Babblers!!

11:25 am

Munner

But Une..., Nashville has two items much better than anything California has: two of my grandchildren!! And here I sit in Atlanta.

11:26 am

sfneil

Krys10 the dy6 is a dy4/8 with two more letters. Sounds like what you do when you don't eat out.

Anyway, I'm off to work. So long everyone!

11:27 am

FMitch

11:27 am

Hugabugs

Adios!

11:36 am

Anj

Sorry Krys, I was off in the world of unBabble again so I've only just read your earlier post. Glad you found it meanwhile :)

11:36 am

Jacula

FMitch - indeed it is from Keats' 'To Autumn'.

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, etc.

11:37 am

Jacula

Anyway, gotta run. Got a hot date with an iron and a pile of clothes plus those plums to finish picking.

11:39 am

suebhoney

Could anyone possibly post the D's again? The earlier list posted already had 20 words and someone said they were missing one, which would make 21. It's confusing me :D

1:01 pm

Jo

Judi, for the i - think of people that make stoopid/silly statements

1:01 pm

sfneil

Jo, all d5/12s have double letters... two are the same except for the last letter

1:02 pm

mickie

O and then a girls name

1:07 pm

sfneil

1:08 pm

Jo

Huh .... never heard of it. I must be sheltered.

1:08 pm

FMitch

sfneil - it might be if you were aware of what it meant but I have to say I didnt until today.

1:10 pm

sfneil

FMitch I am originally from the American south and sadly have heard the word in use. I'm glad that it doesn't seem to be that commonly known.

1:11 pm

roncook

O is dunaways first name!

1:11 pm

Things are just going from good to bad for me today. Hit the wall at 79. Monkey typing is not producing the two Rs. Who's got the stats?

1:13 pm

Jen

I grew up in the south too, but I have never heard that word used. Now, cracker and honky yes.

1:13 pm

Judi

Thanks, Roncook.

1:14 pm

Judi

Let's not forget... Redneck!

1:14 pm

Jen

Judi, both are ry. For one, think of a weird spelling for the peel of a fruit, the other a weird spelling for what a mob out of control does. (easier than defs I hope)

1:15 pm

Judi

Thanks, Jen. I have both R's now.

1:16 pm

roncook

when l was a child l had a golliwog but that is not pc now

Golliwog? Sounds like a character from Harry Potter.

Miyavi_fan

Well, Lotti, I'm kind of in the middle of some food tech now but should be okay in time for tomorrow...maybe...I hope...

1:46 pm

sfneil

Kerrina, don't worry... it gets easier the more you play! (And, as you probably already know, it's quite addictive!)

1:46 pm

Minski

in the RANKINGS WHAT DOES THE NUMBER AFTER OUR NAME MEAN?

1:46 pm

sfneil

1:54 pm

2:19 pm

Karys

Hello everyone....just checking to see if I got an icon !

2:19 pm

Jacula

an5/10 means 'regarding, concerning'. Otherwise, imagine someone with a S. African accent talking about an insect that lives in a formicary or a hill and saying, 'Oh look. There's an***'

2:20 pm

sfneil

an4/4 plural of scots for "one"

2:20 pm

2:36 pm

Mubner

2:37 pm

sfneil

he5 is a unit of inductance, but yes, a king by that name was famous for many wives

2:38 pm

3:11 pm

lottijw

dy4/8 add in

3:12 pm

sfneil

fit1, dy6/36 builds on a dy4/8. sounds like what you do when you don't eat out.

3:24 pm

Moozey

3:24 pm

Dachef

lotti - tried that and it wont accept it. I have tried every combination on the board. Im getting a feeling that something somewhere has started to go horribly wrong. Either that or Im just a bit thick.

3:25 pm

sfneil

dy5/18 = plural of dy4/8

3:25 pm

mtnjock

dy 4/8 pluralized

3:26 pm

Dachef the other sy is sy5/18: a council of church officials. there are only 2 sy's: a 4 and a 5. There is a sn4 that is similar to the sy5, but with letters slightly rearranged.

3:28 pm

Jera

Need help on h6/48... it is a compound word??

3:28 pm

sfneil

arrgh... i mean the sn4 is similar to the sy4, not the sy5

3:29 pm

jakes-mum

Anyone got a clue to the NO6/30 and the last 2 S4/7's in the list?

3:29 pm

Dachef

cheers - Im getting myself all confused. I thought there were 2 x sy4. As this is my last word it means Ive missed one somewhere else. Bugger.

3:29 pm

sfneil

Jera he6/48: when something's in its prime it's said to be enjoying its he6/48. it is a compound word, or at least looks like one.

3:31 pm

sfneil

Dachef, do you have the sn4/7?? same letters as sy4/7

jakes-mum, no 6/30 is a French swimming pool (apparently). Its also when you say no to another poem.

3:34 pm

roncook

no 6/30 is the french for drowning trust me

3:35 pm

tonyv

how many words are there today?

3:35 pm

sfneil

jakes-mum, no6 is probably the most obscure word in the grid, and the hardest to describe. Think what you might say to someone who was not allowed to have a precious green stone from asia: You might say, "No ---- for you!" If you put in a 'y' instead of a 'j', well, there's your no6. Hope that helps a bit.

3:36 pm

torgone, you're probably missing the no6

4:35 pm

torgone

Thanks, elmer.
Correct, sfneil.

4:35 pm

sfneil

If so, here's a reprise of a clue I gave a while ago that seemed to help some people:

no6 is probably the most obscure word in the grid, and the hardest to describe. Think what you might say to someone who was not allowed to have a precious green stone from asia: You might say, "No ---- for you!" If you put in a 'y' instead of a 'j', well, there's your no6. Hope that helps a bit.

FIREWORKS for Jax!!!

6:42 pm

That's good. I have those two.

6:46 pm

Congrats JaxH. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Totally stumped on last do4... I have foolish, stray calf, spanish lady & finished...

7:02 pm

Jera

Unless of course I've screwed up my list...

7:04 pm

Munner

Still looking for ha 5/16. Would this be a word I've ever seen or used before?

7:05 pm

Cathy

Jera -- I think it might be the do 4/5. Kind of an alternate spelling for a word you're probably familiar with. Means to rave, or pay lots of attention to something. Hope that helps.

7:07 pm

Cathy

Munner -- probably not a well-used word. Definition says "medieval merchant guild or trade association". I think I found it by "monkey typing" as they say -- just random babbling :)

7:09 pm

Jera

Yes, forgot to note it was a 5 pointer. I have the one that rhymes with a breakfast cereal...

7:10 pm

Cathy

Munner -- just tried the OneLook Dictionary, and your ha5 is there. If you go to their site and use the reverse dictionary lookup, you can type in the medieval merchant guild and it will give you a list of words. It's right close to the top!

7:10 pm

Munner

Thanks, Cathy.

7:13 pm

Jera

How many do4/5's are there? I have 2 already & my list calls for another... is that correct? I hate looking for words that don't exist...

7:13 pm

Yes, there are 3 of them

7:17 pm

7:27 pm

Blaze

cbr the word list is not that bad... some funny ones and some disparaging ones..... all in all not nearly as grueling as the one a few days ago..

7:27 pm

Munner

Deb, ha 7/56 is a country bumpkin, a compound word.

7:27 pm

cbr1965

How are you ? I haven;t played for a couple of days so I missed all the fun

7:28 pm

Cathy

Deb -- Since the clue for the ha7 didn't help, how about this? take an ha4/10 and se 4/5 and combine them, dropping the overlapping letter. Hope that helps!

7:28 pm

Blaze

cbr I am good.... just bumbling and babbling a long...

7:28 pm

Debluvsmusic

thx Munner -I was focusing on the wrong side of the puzzle....

7:28 pm

cbr1965

the ha is a combination of an ha word (three letter - you have the 4 letter version) and one of your se4s

7:29 pm

Debluvsmusic

May I pleae have a clue for S 6/26, if such a thing exists? I'm more than a little confused.

8:26 pm

Jera

Yup, was obsessing over the wrong e... tyvm!

8:27 pm

sfneil

mab, no s6/26, but there are 2 sh6/36s. they are quite similar, starting and ending in the same two letters, but one has a double vowel and one a double consonant. one's a fish, the other means glossy

8:27 pm

Doogle

Mab - there is no S6/26. That was somebody mistyping earlier. A 6-letter word has to be divisible by 3.

8:28 pm

mab

Thank you Neil, thanks Gre...I mean Doogle.

8:29 pm

Doogle

Oink oink oinkety oink.

8:31 pm

mab

I don't understand, Doogle. I meant you look like Gregor Samsa in Kafka's Metamorphosis (sp) these days.

8:31 pm

Jera

Please explain to me why he5/22 is a valid word??

8:31 pm

Doogle

Sorry, Mab. I've metamorphosed yet again. Please refresh your screen whilst holding down the alt key. :)

8:32 pm

cbr1965

Jera - I am the anmial expert but only the farm animals - if you have trouble with the go4 - I can help! Just kidding

8:32 pm

cbr1965

sorry misread your clue - I saw hy5/22

8:32 pm

Doogle

He5/22 is a unit of inductance. That's why!

8:34 pm

mab

Well now you're making think of George Orwell or Lord of the Flies.

8:36 pm

Jera

Has brandyjack (or someone) posted the full hint list? I have a discrepancy...

8:37 pm

cbr1965

Not yet - I just looked for it

8:37 pm

cathy22w

jera... we're waiting with baited breath....!!! lol

8:37 pm

Jera

ty, Doogle... no idea what that means, but I trust you...

8:37 pm

Doogle

What is the nature of this discrepancy?

8:38 pm

Jera

My stats say I have 21 words left to find but I have 20 blanks on my list...

8:39 pm

cbr1965

Every time I've had that problem it has always ended up being me that was wrong -

8:40 pm

Doogle

If the rate of change of current in a circuit is one ampere per second and the resulting electromotive force is one volt, then the inductance of the circuit is one he5/22.

8:41 pm

Jera

Oh god, make him stop explaaaaaaaaaaining things!!!!

8:41 pm

Jera

I'm okay now.

8:42 pm

Jera

Found the discrepancy problem, btw.

8:42 pm

lbdawger

any help for the i...like it's value or definition?

8:42 pm

cbr1965

You are "crazy" if you think I would help you with the in word

8:42 pm

cathy22w

i dispute that, doogle!! the he5/22 is acutally the name of our consulting psychologist at work!!!!

8:43 pm

Doogle

It's an i5/10. Very common Babble word.

8:43 pm

mab

I bet you have a degree in Science, Doogle. Tell us more Mr. Science, pleeeese? Actually, no. I'm sure that factoid will someday save someone's life.

8:44 pm

Doogle

cbr - 'crazy' would be an i6/18, which is not in this game!

8:45 pm

cbr1965

okay so I used a loose definition - how about ridiculous or senseless for the in word

8:45 pm

Doogle

Nah, I've got a degree in jazz composition, actually. But I'm extremely good at cutting and pasting. ;)

8:45 pm

lbdawger

found it shortly after i posted and read Doogles explanation of HE 5...strange connection! lol

8:46 pm

mab

Surrender cbr, Mr. Lord of the Flies knows everything. Divided by three. (ha ha, not serious, kidding)

8:47 pm

Doogle

Now I eat you. Snort snort.

Grunt.

8:49 pm

cathy22w

could someone list the 7s and 8s? first two letters would be fab... thanks!

8:49 pm

cbr1965

HA - funny though - I didn't even think of the other in word that actually means crazy when I gave that clue - I was thinking of crazy like ridiculous so I appreciate the correction - and I bow down to the Oinker!

8:49 pm

mab

Doogle, your bloody fish, which is not the slur for a Jew, is driving me in6, which is divisible by three and not in the puzzle.

8:50 pm

thank you doogle

8:54 pm

Doogle

All who seek to find the sh6/36,
Must look in every nook and cr6/33*.

*not in the puzzle

8:54 pm

lbdawger

almost afraid to ask...o?

8:55 pm

cbr1965

If you were watching King Kong and the lead actress was about to be taken by King Long you could say O___

8:55 pm

Doogle

o4/10 is, according to some, derived from the pig-latin for one's enemy.

8:59 pm

mab

Thank you doogle for the guidance on said bloody fish. Finally got it.

9:05 pm

Jera

9:28 pm

lbdawger

Me too.

9:29 pm

Jera

Jera

Nope, it's a 6 letter word according to my handy-dandy stat chart... help??

9:30 pm

sfneil

sfneil

Hooray!! Congratulations, Jera!!

cbr1965

Yay - you always finish before me - I'm not sure I'mm ake it tonight - I keep getting distracted

9:36 pm

sfneil

first se5/10 is a large fishing net (or a river in Paris)

9:37 pm

cbr1965

How about a hint for do6 - not the one to do with the Osmonds

9:37 pm

mab

The 'shiny' word is an ethnic slur, although it well may mean shiny too...I'd think wouldn't understand it that way. Neil, is the o word a strongly derogatory term? I've never heard it.

9:37 pm

Hugabugs

or a river in Winnipeg... but then, only Winnipeggers would know that one! ;o)

9:38 pm

Blaze

similar word double the constants

9:38 pm

Jera

Can I help you, cbr? You've done for me in the past...

9:38 pm

cbr1965

duh - I had the do7 - thanks!

9:38 pm

Blaze

I have both do 6/21 I have one do 5/12 any clues to the second one ??

9:39 pm

sfneil

cbd depending which do6/21 you have, either drop one of the double consonants and pluralize, or drop the plural and double the consonant

9:39 pm

Jera

sfneil... don't say things like that (you're fallible)... I prefer to think of you as superman!

9:39 pm

cbr1965

I really need t's because I haven't gotten there yet - may just a couple of clues for hard ones? I have 38 to go

9:39 pm

sfneil

cbr1965

9:49 pm

Jera

Some of the little words can be extremely weird...

9:49 pm

cbr1965

the hawaiian goose is always a crossword clue but I think starting late has gone to my head

9:49 pm

Jera

I think all you need now is the no4/4... italian night

9:54 pm

Jera

The King Kong was the best O clue I heard...

9:55 pm

cbr1965

How about this - what does Buckwheat on Saturday night live always say O___ and change the t to an f

9:55 pm

Blaze

Jera I keep trying to put the o on for the f but to now avail

9:55 pm

Dianne

Blaze - O4 - think Dunnaway.

9:55 pm

Jera

Good one, cbr...

9:56 pm

sfneil

blaze, i ask "how're you doin'" but you have a speech impediment where you always say 'f' for 'k'. You say, "I'm o----, thanks!"

9:56 pm

cbr1965

I think I'm just starting to get silly - sometimes it's more fun to give the clues than find the words - although you have to have the words to give the clues!

9:56 pm

Blaze

Hi Ho HI HO I got the O off for some reality time

9:57 pm

Jera

Yay, Blaze!! I'm gonna go watch a Lost episode & then I'll be back... happy Babbling!

Minski

You're missing an ED4/8

10:09 pm

sfneil

Blaze you need ed4 an old Norse or modern Scandinavian letter -- plural

10:09 pm

mab

ibd: french, means phil. behind body of work. two sets of double letters. sounds like a man's name.

10:09 pm

Dianne

Blaze - ec5/22 and ec5/20 go past tense and plural of you ec4.

10:09 pm

sfneil

sn4 = sy4 invert the middle letters

Sn4/7 - a side channel in a river or creek. Not sure why the dictionary the word list links to is so incomplete, as it's clearly not the one that the game uses to determine what is or is not a word.

10:11 pm

sfneil

keep going cbr... I'm just hanging around for the new puzzle, so shoot with questions... (of course, I'll be putzing around the house, too, but will check in)

10:12 pm

I've wondered that, too, Doogle! answers.com seems to have more (but not all) of the words.

10:14 pm

Minski

I'm in Massachusetts. When does the new grid start? Is it midnight Eastern time or Central time?

10:15 pm

cbr1965

1:00 am eastern time

10:15 pm

Doogle: you have an unusual affinity for apparently dismembered heads. Does your sweetie know about this?

10:16 pm

Minski

Thanks CBR. I guess I didn't have to rush after all. But I thank everyone for their assistance anyhow.

10:46 pm

sfneil

cbr1965

No way that is a real word! THanks - never would have found it - I'm about to resort to a2z wordfinder! Maybe not - one word left!

10:55 pm

Dianne

F5/18 - slang for a smoke plus another word for have.

10:55 pm

sfneil

at6/27: an old way of saying "betwixt and bet----" I guess they figured out it was more appropriate to start it with a letter that was not the first in the alphabet!

10:55 pm

cbr1965

Awesome! You guys are great - I thought I wouldn't finish tonight - I appreciate it very much! Let me know if I can ever help any of you!

DarleenMB

heh heh. Like that? It's Nathan Fillion in the role of Captain Mal Reynolds from the upcoming movie "Serenity." did you ever watch Firefly? It was as brief as its namesake... but was it great!

11:06 pm

Jera

I feel the same way, cbr...

If you're missing the no6, here's a (re)reprise of a clue I gave a while ago that seemed to help some people:

no6 is probably the most obscure word in the grid, and the hardest to describe. Think what you might say to someone who was not allowed to have a precious green stone from asia: You might say, "No ---- for you!" If you put in a 'y' instead of a 'j', well, there's your no6. Hope that helps a bit.

Love it - if you like Joss Whedon you will love my icon, Veronica Mars! Best show on TV

11:08 pm

cbr1965

sorry those posted twice

11:08 pm

DarleenMB

I haven't watched it yet .. .keep meaning to but manage to miss it. I'll make a point of catching it! Thanks...

11:08 pm

sfneil

Speaking of Joss Wheedon, is everybody as psyched about "Serenity" as I am?

11:09 pm

Jera

noyade = A drowning of many persons at once, -- a method of execution practiced at Nantes in France during the Reign of Terror, by Jean Baptiste Carrier.

No offense sfneil... I just found that fascinating & felt the need to share...

11:09 pm

DarleenMB

CAN'T WAIT!!

11:09 pm

cbr1965

Can't wait only a few more days ! I will reiterate though - Joss WHedon loves Veronica Mars and calls it one of the five best tv shows ever - if you aren;'t watching it, you should be

11:10 pm

sfneil

Darleen: ME EITHER!!!

Jera: No offense taken at all.

11:10 pm

lianakate

believe it or not ..i had that one, ..french word for drowning...You know..every time i try to write the d's down..the board shifts and I lose my place...

11:10 pm

sfneil

Unfortunately, my TV committed seppuku, so I've never seen VM!

11:11 pm

Of course, I almost stroked out when aglet was one of the words last week... I'm easily amused, I guess...

lianakate - copy them into word so you can see them easier - then copy your d's underneath and compare

11:11 pm

DarleenMB

LOL sfneil ... my tv should do that. On second thought.. I'm in LOVE with BAttlestar Gallactica and would be lost if I couldn't watch it!

11:12 pm

cbr1965

I love that one too! I'm an insomniac and used to watch hours of tv (or read multiple books) - now I play Babble

11:12 pm

Jera

I don't watch much live TV... I watch a few soaps & kids' shows, I like dvd's & history specials... loved the recent Rome week on history channel!

11:13 pm

DarleenMB

Yeah. Babble has sort of taken over my life.

11:13 pm

lianakate

thanks, CB..I think i am too tired to continue..I have been up running since 5 this morning...youre a really nice girl..thanks to all of you..

11:13 pm

DarleenMB

Oh Jera, have you been watching ROME on hbo? It is GREAT!

11:13 pm

sfneil

I heard that Rome thing was pretty cool.

Yes, Babble is the new TV in my house!

11:13 pm

cbr1965

Jera - you and my husband would get along well - that is what he watches too - I like the dramas on FX and HBO too

11:14 pm

Jera

We don't get the premium channels, so no T&A on the Apian here... History channel was raunchy enough, LOL!

11:14 pm

Doogle

Jera - Yep, it's fascinating. I agree. But please don't post actual words while the puzzle's still active!

11:14 pm

lianakate

am not much of a tv watcher..but sometimes when I cant sleep I like to watch law and order..

11:14 pm

DarleenMB

Raunchy. Yes, the HBO series is that and more... gotta love those randy romans.

11:15 pm

cbr1965

I like that too - seen 'em all - did you get a fix on your d's yet?

11:15 pm

sfneil

Fortunately during the bit-torrent days I was able to collect the entire Firefly series... never get tired of watching them.

11:16 pm

Jera

Oh, I'm sooooo sorry!! I'm usually so careful not to do that, please accept my apologies! Giving the answer with the clue... DUH!

11:16 pm

cbr1965

my sister has them too - I love Joss Whedon - dialogue is great

11:16 pm

sfneil

Jera, don't be embarrassed... there seems to be a streak of that going around!

11:16 pm

lianakate

CB..i posted abot veing 5to tired...with a thank you..:) am of to the land of nod..(i hope)

11:17 pm

sfneil

And the characters ROCK! So well-written and acted!

11:17 pm

cbr1965

we'll miss you - come back tomorrow and we'll get it done

11:17 pm

Jera

Maybe I should do the same... or should I stay up another hour & start on the NEW PUZZLE??!!

11:18 pm

cbr1965

I was so bummed when it got cancelled - almost had a Buffy replacement for awhile - VM is very similar in dialogue and character development though

11:18 pm

DarleenMB

I BOUGHT the dvds. SF channel is rerunning the series (and I keep hoping they'll pick it up). Just saw Our Mrs. Reynolds and howled at the dialog. Joss is a great writer, isn't he?

11:18 pm

sfneil

liana... "tomorrow is another day!"

have a good night, and see you tomorrow!

11:18 pm

cbr1965

I'm debating but might stay for a short while - I seem to do better if I start earlier

11:19 pm

Jera

Well, if you guys give it thumbs up, I'll put it on my Netflix queue... Intot he West comes out next month, I believe...

11:19 pm

sfneil

I just admire the fact that the whole Firefly crew seemed to have said to the studio, "We're NOT going to do it your way, we'll go off and make movies!"

11:20 pm

DarleenMB

Firefly is one of the BEST sf shows around. The juxtaposition of space opera and horse opera with a little Chinese cursing thrown in is just mind blowing...

11:20 pm

cbr1965

I know and it looks great - Tivo has had a promo of it running all week on Tivo Central

11:21 pm

Jera

lianakate, are you still here? I looooove Law & Order!

11:21 pm

Doogle

Heh. Just Netflixxed it myself based on you all's recommendation!

11:21 pm

DarleenMB

oooh enjoy!

11:22 pm

sfneil

You won't be sorry.

11:22 pm

Jera

Now are we talking Firefly or Rome now?

11:22 pm

DarleenMB

Firefly. Rome is currently running on hbo

11:23 pm

sfneil

Only Firefly (and Serenity) from me... haven't seen Rome (but plan to).

11:23 pm

Jera

Okay... I know nothing about Firefly... educate me if you will...

11:23 pm

cbr1965

Set almost 500 years in the future, this short-lived but much-loved TV series follows the adventures of the ragtag crew (Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk and others) of the transport spaceship Serenity. No job is too small, too dirty or too close to the line of illegality for the crew to tackle to remain fed and fueled. But when a passenger is wanted by the ruling Alliance regime, the Firefly must hide out the dangerous fringes of space.

11:24 pm

cbr1965

by the way - saw Alan Tudyk in Spamalot in New York and he was great

11:24 pm

DarleenMB

Wow, cbr, that was fast. Do you have that memorized? ;-)

11:24 pm

cbr1965

No - I decided to Netflix it too and had the description pulled up already

11:25 pm

DarleenMB

Alan has the BEST comic timing... he was fabulous in 28 days and Ithought he stole the show in A Knight's Tale ... JMHO

11:25 pm

cbr1965

No one that knows me can believe that A Knight's Tale is one of my favorite movies - so cheesy but I love it

11:25 pm

sfneil

Jera, Firefly is great near-future sci-fi... after some kind of mega-power alliance between the western powers and China, there was a huge space-war, with an evil(?) alliance winning. The Firefly is a small 'underground' transport finding what work it can in the 'outer regions', with an intrepid crew and one passenger who has been tampered with by the ruling forces. Great drama, writing and acting!

11:26 pm

DarleenMB

Oh I didn't think AKT was cheesey at ALL!! I loved the way they moved between period and present with the music.

11:27 pm

Jera

cbr, we just watched a Knight's Tale last night for the 87th time... the ending always makes me cry!!

11:27 pm

cbr1965

I thought the cast was great too - love Paul Bettany

11:27 pm

Jera

I was looking at Firefly in Netflix... it's associated with babylon 5 & Farscape.. would you concur?

11:28 pm

DarleenMB

Yeah, but Alan was just the best. It's HIM I remember most.

11:28 pm

cbr1965

Me too - I went to check on my lake house a couple of weeks ago and took that movie as my entertainment for the night I was there - my kids love it too

11:28 pm

DarleenMB

It's far better than Babylon 5 and nothing, but nothing, compares to Farscape. It's in a class by itself.

11:28 pm

sfneil

Jera, I don't know Farscape and have only seen a few episodes of Babylon 5, but I'd have to say it's far better than B%, even though I found those episodes entertaining.

11:29 pm

Jera

I adore Paul Bettany!! Not physically attractive, but his presence makes me swoon! Of course i love a man of words...

11:29 pm

sfneil

er, "far better than B5"

11:29 pm

cbr1965

sfneil - you would love Farscape too

11:29 pm

DarleenMB

sfneil... YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH FARSCAPE! It is just awesome...

11:30 pm

Jera

Have you seen where the Farscape characters are on Stargate SG-1? That almost made me watch...

11:30 pm

DarleenMB

Next to Mal, my 2nd big "character crush" is D'Argo.

11:30 pm

sfneil

Darleen, I've never even heard of it! Currently broadcast, I assume? (It's been several months since I've had any kind of TV.)

11:30 pm

cbr1965

Jera - does Wimbledon make you cry too - I bought that DVD and I rarely buy anything - although I pre-bought Veronica Mars Season One already

11:30 pm

DarleenMB

Yeah Jera but Claudia wasn't on long enough. It was the actors, though, not the characters. And Ben's on permanently.

11:31 pm

Jera

Farscape is awesome... a family joke when someone's getting out of hand... "Don't make me have to tongue you!!"

11:31 pm

cbr1965

I don't watch SG-I anymore but hadn;t seen that Farscape characters were crossing into it

11:32 pm

Jera

My baby brother (who just shipped out to Iraq) looks just like Ben browder... it's uncanny...

11:32 pm

DarleenMB

neil... it ran for 4 seasons on SciFi. I was barely aware of it. Then I ran through Star Trek on netflix and was hunting for something else to watch... the rest is history. I fell so hard for the show that by the 5th disc in the first season I bought the entire series. And I do NOT buy tv shows!

11:32 pm

sfneil

Okay, Farscape is definitely on the list, now. But nothing can stop me from anticipating the release of Serenity!

11:33 pm

DarleenMB

Jera, positive thoughts for your brother.

11:33 pm

cbr1965

I've never bought a tv show until VM for myself but gave my sister Farscape for her birthday last month

11:33 pm

DarleenMB

Well, Serenity is going to be SO good ... I'm on pins and needles waiting...

11:33 pm

sfneil

Definitely, Jera... best wishes for his safe return!

11:34 pm

cbr1965

Best wishes from me too

11:34 pm

Jera

ty Darleen... he's already sent me an e-mail saying he's waiting for his Girl Scout cookies!! I'm a GS leader & my troops always has several adopted soldiers we send care packages to...

11:34 pm

sfneil

From what I can tell (and I hound their website) Serenity is going to effin' ROCK!

11:34 pm

cbr1965

I bought 40 boxes this year and donated them all to the troops

11:35 pm

DarleenMB

Good for you! I was a scout way back when... still have my badges and everything.

11:36 pm

Jera

the coolsest thing they are doing now is Hope of Iraq... one of the soldiers started a thing to collect school supplies & toys for the kids... Sprite (my daughter) never keeps her Happy Meal toys anymore, they go stright into the HoI donation box!

11:36 pm

cbr1965

That's a great idea - my kids don't care anything about those toys anymore

11:37 pm

Jera

I'm glad you were able to make sense of that last bit, LOL

11:38 pm

onyx

i just got on the game, any clues for the two 8's, don't have time to read the whole log

11:39 pm

Jera

There's a new puzzle in about 30 minutes, onyx, you may want to just wait?

11:40 pm

sfneil

onyx, there's an ey8 that is a compound word... a kind of visor worn to keep bright light away from the visual organs

11:41 pm

onyx

yeah i know but i like to try even if only for half an hour, i don't have much time to play so i kind of race myself. how many words can i come up with in x number of minutes.

11:42 pm

sfneil

the other 8 is an an8, plural of an an7 meaning relaxing, or relieving of pain

11:43 pm

Jera

Come to think of it, that's often the most fun part... the 1st 30 minutes or so when you can find so many words before they get so tough!

11:44 pm

sfneil

for clarity an8 is an adjective, not a gerund

11:44 pm

onyx

cant believe i didn't see that e8 guess i never thought of it as one word, thanks for the hints.

11:47 pm

sfneil

for further clarity (and hopefully not further obscurity) an8 is a plural adjective noun, of the an7 that is an adjective

11:51 pm

cbr1965

10 minutes until the new puzzle - please don't let it be a long one -

11:54 pm

onyx

thanks sfneil got em!

11:55 pm

onyx

id i start a new puzzle i'm likely to stay up half the night.

11:56 pm

sfneil

great onyx! on to the 7s, I assume? there's a great ha7, also a compound, meaning "yokel"

11:57 pm

Jera

I limit myself to an hour when I start a puzzle as soon as it comes up...

11:58 pm

cbr1965

me too or I would never get any sleep and wouldn;t be able to get up for work

11:59 pm

Jera

Fortunately, my job has flexible hours!

11:59 pm

onyx

yeah, easier said than done, i just want to get one more word.....

12:00 am

Hugabugs

Hi everyone!

12:00 am
