Hugabugs

Hi Everyone!

12:05 am

mtnjock

dr god is updating the page, the final listing is still being generated

thx for all the help, I got closer, but hey, I am still at work... and can start fresh on this one!

12:08 am

mtnjock

this puzzle has a strange potatoe theme going on...

12:10 am

cbr1965

12:11 am

mtnjock

12:36 am

Blaze

I's as fine as frogs hair..... doing good.

12:37 am

cbr1965

Blaze - deceptive action - I think of it in fencing

12:37 am

mtnjock

first word I kept trying to spell was peyote... darn babble.

12:37 am

cbr1965

hey - watch it mtnjock - some words actually are there

12:38 am

Brint

12:38 am

12:40 am

mtnjock

mea culpa, mea culpa

12:40 am

mtnjock

12:41 am

Brint

12:42 am

mtnjock

12:47 am

Brint

12:52 am

cbr1965

Hi Brint - I see you're in Atlanta - so am I

12:52 am

mtnjock

Memphis here...

12:52 am

cbr1965

I have a client in Memphis - nice city

12:53 am

Blaze

CBR the Y words are Abominal.... I have all but one so far. who's the hottie on you icon ??

12:54 am

Brint

Yep -- been here for 3-1/2 years.
is it legitimate when someone like redletter posts t7/28 to ask, which t?

12:54 am

Malise

Any fish yet? Got an amphibian - but that doesn't really count, does it?

12:55 am

cbr1965

Oh another unsuspecting fly falls into my web of shameless promotion - he is Logan, one of the main characters on the best show on TV - Veronica Mars - but I know you've heard the evangelical Veronica Mars talk from me many times before!

12:55 am

redletter

Hmm, I don't know, Brint. How about if I say it starts with t and ends with t?

12:57 am

Brint

Oh, great... thanks
:-)

12:58 am

cbr1965

I'm going to bed with 59 to go - I love these short puzzles - I actually get other stuff done on those days

12:58 am

Dianne

Would someone please post the stats. It would help to know what I'm hunting:)

12:59 am

redletter

Brint, it's only the most stylish word on the grid.

12:59 am

PAV3

Blaze...did u get your f7 44?

12:59 am

Brint

Tks, cbr -- good idea. I've 59 left, too.

Though I can't say that this is a habit I really want to develop (e.g., I like sleep...)

1:56 am

Chessy

7 y words - no way!!

1:56 am

sfneil

Heh, took a little longer than it might have otherwise: I have been out to the theater and some post-play libations this evening! (I'm still pretty sure they're right... I double-checked my addition!)

1:57 am

Blaze

chessy... they are really abominable two.....the rest are monkey typing and a2Z

1:58 am

macadam

sfneil.I get the same stats if it makes you feel better!

1:58 am

Chessy

Blaze, I've got 3 and thought was doing really well! I'll get those monkeys to work again ..:)

1:59 am

sfneil

Thanks, macadam, it does! Would not want to send all the babblers off after red herrings!

2:00 am

macadam

Are you sure that fish isn`t swimming round the grid somewhere?

2:01 am

sfneil

lol! is a herring anything like a shanny?

2:02 am

Blaze

If there is no fish doogle will fall over.....LOL

2:03 am

Dianne

whatever the 3 Es are - they are a total mystery to me!

2:04 am

Blaze

dianne I have found one E e 5/12 and boy do they e 5/12 me tonight

2:05 am

Blaze

Actually they give it to me....like the cheeky kids...

2:06 am

sfneil

blaze there is an e6 that is plural of that

(there is also an e4 that is many baby amphibians)

2:07 am

macadam

I`ve never heard of a shanny so I can`t answer that.A new word before breakfast and whilst almost awake what more can one ask.

2:07 am

Blaze

thank you sfneil.....

2:08 am

sfneil

macadam did you miss the recent puzzle where all the other brits were going on about shannies and blennies?

2:09 am

lottijw

Macadam Anj said the other day its a long fish, eel like apparently!!!!!!!! :o) Good morning

2:09 am

lottijw

Ooooh or is that a blenny?!!!?????!!!

2:10 am

macadam

It might have been one of the games I didn`t complete and there have been lots of those.Blenny I recognise but not shanny until now.

2:11 am

sfneil

I had never heard either word, but then I don't eat any seafood at all.

2:11 am

macadam

Hi lotti.Just abput to hit the breaky and start word hunting.

2:12 am

macadam

Opposite from me sfneil.I love fish.

2:13 am

lottijw

Quick look before the school run.....Ikea if we`ve time today!!!! Looks doubtful though :)

2:14 am

sfneil

Yes. Alas, I am considered a freak by my entire family, who love nothing better than anything that swims or crawls in the water!

2:14 am

macadam

Ok lotti see you soon

2:15 am

lottijw

sfneil, I`m choosey about what i eat from the sea!

2:16 am

sfneil

Yay lotti! (Actually I can do crab, and shrimp in a pinch. I try not to create problems for my hosts/hostesses when I can avoid it.)

2:17 am

macadam

I was brought up being told fish was a brain food .I don`t know if it helped but I still hope for the best.

2:17 am

lottijw

You`re too kind!

2:18 am

Blaze

Well I am down to 49 words and off for some ZZZZ's see you all tomorrow....

2:18 am

sfneil

'Night Blaze! They'll be waiting for you...

2:18 am

Chessy

Night Blaze ..

2:19 am

Blaze

sfneil you are right... alone with the dirty dishes, laundry and other reality things....

2:21 am

PAV3

down to the last three T's...heard there was at least one t7..any clues?

2:24 am

cat2

still looking for that one myself...

and blast those e4 baby amphibians are still giving me the chase :/

2:24 am

sfneil

PAV3, I'm still missing two Ts myself, but have got the t7: if you went to the best party, with the A-list people and everyone was dressed to the hilt... that party might be considered the t7 in town.

2:25 am

sfneil

(it's a superlative -- that might help)

2:27 am

PAV3

thanks...got it! kept babbling for a shorter t-word that begins like it

2:28 am

sfneil

You're welcome. I wonder if we're both missing the same two Ts now?

2:31 am

sfneil

As an aside, has the red gone missing from everyone else's puzzle clock?

2:33 am

lottijw

Yes sfneil mine has:]

2:34 am

cat2

yes, missing here too

2:34 am

macadam

Just got back.No red here either.

2:34 am

Chessy

red herrings but no red clock :)

2:35 am

macadam

Good one chessy

2:35 am

PAV3

yes...no red here...I have 8x t4 4, 5x t4 5, 2x t5 10, 1x t5 12, 3x t6 21 and the t7 28

2:37 am

sfneil

I suppose it was dismissed as redundan? I mean, the little black bump is still there.

2:37 am

lottijw

Must do school run see you all later :)

2:37 am

sfneil

Er, "redundant"

2:40 am

sfneil

So long, lotti!

2:41 am

cat2

cyal tomorrow

2:54 am

carolecs

P/7 36, haven't a clue if its already been mentioned as there are too many messages to check them all.

2:58 am

PAV3

pl of your p6 24

2:58 am

carolecs

How can one word game deny the existance of another??

2:59 am

Chessy

carolecs - that way it can claim world domination... ha! :)

3:01 am

carolecs

Lol chessy.x

3:02 am

Miyavi_fan

Well, the red is back, anyway...so not made reduntant, sfneil, it was just late for work!

3:02 am

Chessy

clock's red again ...

3:07 am

PAV3

It's 1 am here..time for sleep..101/1075 with 20 to go..see y'all later

3:10 am

carolecs

mtnjock, I had to laugh at your comment for 12.11 am, pomme frites is not German, cbr1965 was right it is French for what you call French fries, pomme meaning potato, frites meaning fries or as we english say chips.It was nice to start work with a smile though.x

3:30 am

macadam

Miyavi this is Lottijw i`m at Macadam`s (as she`s my mother) Why aren`t you at school???????????? ;o)

3:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Hi, Lotti...don't worry, I'm not bunking/suspended! The teachers are giving us a day off so they can prepare for open evening tonight ^_^

3:36 am

macadam

Lucky you! We never got a day off, they just worked round us! If you`ve got all day to do this, what you gonna do tonight if you`ve finished!!!!??????

3:39 am

Miyavi_fan

heh...finishing for me still seems nothing short of impossible, so I don't need to worry about that...the day I ever finish a babble game is a very distant blob on the horizon...

3:41 am

macadam

Don`t sell yourself short, we`ve all noticed how clever you are ;) I`ll have a look for you this afternoon when i`m back at home......this icon`s a bit floral for me LOL

3:45 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay, I'll see you later under the usual icon then ^_^
Thanks for the compliment...all choked up now! *wipes tear from eye*

3:53 am

Dianne

I hae the F7, P7 and T7. Does anyone know what the 4th one is?

3:56 am

FMitch

Hi Dianne
it's a d7/32 but I have no clues yet

3:57 am

Dianne

Thanks Mitch

3:57 am

lola100

Hi all :)
Lotti, are you still there?

3:58 am

Kallia

d7/32,, superlative...lots of spots

3:59 am

Kallia

morning Lola, morning all :)

3:59 am

macadam

Yes lola she`s here.Thanks for the tip about cleaning up the computer.It worked.

4:01 am

lola100

Hi mom :) Glad to be of assistance! I do mine religiously now as it started just switching itself off at one point. Rather frustrating when you are in the middle of trying to help someone! Are you going to Ikea with lotti?

4:01 am

lola100

Hi kallia :)

4:01 am

FMitch

Kallia - thanks for that, got it.

4:02 am

Kallia

yw :)

4:02 am

macadam

Hi Lola it`s lotti........Wouldn`t you have taken "major advantage" of Sawyer(or whatever he happens to be called) while he was tied to the tree !!!!!!!!!!;o) I know I would LOL

4:03 am

Jacula

Morning all. Just a brief visit before I have to go and do the weekly shopping trip. That Enable dictionary needs updating; 'sudoku' IS a word!

4:04 am

FMitch

Hear hear, Jackua!! I tried that and thought the same!

4:04 am

macadam

Hairdresser trip today so we may not make Ikea!

4:06 am

Jacula

Haven't spotted any Babbler's names yet in today's grid. Yesterday 'Kate' was in it and 'Jera' the day before that.

4:08 am

lola100

Lotti, girl, do not even get me started!!!! I am asking about Ikea because I haven't been to one yet and am insanely jealous! We have a huge depot in Pborough but no outlet :(

4:10 am

Jacula

Lola - I've never been to Ikea either. I guess it's like the modern version of 'Habitat'. My first house was furnished almost entirely by Habitat and Laura Ashley.:-)

4:10 am

macadam

Oh thats a shame, we normally have a meatball lunch too! One day i`m gonna come and meet you in Queensgate!!!!!!! Probably outside Waitrose if its still there LOL

4:11 am

lola100

Jacula- it's the concept that intrigues me. We don't have anything like it in SA. We also don't have catalogue shops. You should have seen me trying to shop in Argos for the first time..lol!

4:12 am

lola100

Lotti- you're on! And Waitrose is still there :)

4:13 am

oggy

any clues for the t7/28 please and thanks

4:13 am

macadam

Yay, was your daughter born at PMU? Mine was

4:14 am

Jacula

Oggy - apparently it begins with 't' and ends with 't'. Haven't got it myself yet though. Clue was something about an A list party and people all in their best togs.

4:15 am

lola100

No, she was born in SA. I flew out with her (on my own!) when she was 7 months old.

4:15 am

lola100

The t7. Superlative of Mr Blair?

4:16 am

Atalante

t7 - Marked by an elegant or exclusive manner or quality

4:17 am

Jacula

Thanks Atalante! Got it now.

4:18 am

oggy

lola, i work for waitrose.

4:18 am

Jacula

Lola - LOL. Helped me get that answer.:-))

4:19 am

oggy

got it thanks everyone

4:20 am

lola100

oggy- I love waitrose! I would spend my entire salary there if I worked for them.

4:21 am

Ray100

lola100, ty for the Blair clue...I tried the word earlier but it wasn't accepted but your tip made me try it again, successfully this time. Weird!

4:21 am

macadam

Cheers Lola that`s added to macadans list now!
Do you know Huntingdon at all? I have a couple of friends there.

4:21 am

oggy

is there a p6/33

4:22 am

Kallia

yep there is a p6/33 :)

4:22 am

lola100

Not really lotti, haven't been there yet. My best friend from SA works there. Hadn't seen her for 13 years and then found out she lives 40 minutes away in Cambridge!

4:22 am

FMitch

p6/33 and p6/24

4:22 am

Jacula

Yes Oggy. If you go back through the chat log someone actually typed the word earlier.

4:23 am

Ray100

macadam

Oh no Oggy that brings back bad memories, I used to live at St Athens......hated it, hated it, hated it!!!!!
My good memory is thats where i bought my daughters 1st pair of shoes!! ( I am Lotti by the way)

4:28 am

lola100

I have been to Stamford, lovely little village. We tend to visit places like dinosaur parks and sea life centres at the mo' due to toddler, but my passion is for lovely old buildings (am an architectural draughtsman by profession) so I love the little villages :)

4:30 am

macadam

Lola i know where to come for my extension plans then LOL

4:32 am

Ray100

4:37 am

FMitch

4:37 am

Jacula

p6/33 - A spineless, dome-shaped cactus (Lophophora williamsii) native to Mexico and the southwest United States, having buttonlike tubercles that are chewed fresh or dry as a narcotic drug by certain Native American peoples. Also called mescal.

Ray100

Hey miyavi, how you doing today?

4:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Okay so far, thanks, Lola! Got about 40...you?

4:51 am

lola100

Good stuff! Just gone over half way :)

4:51 am

Miyavi_fan

*in awe*

4:53 am

lola100

lol! The more you play the quicker you find the words. Also, you start to recognise the obscure ones from other puzzles (which is mildly worrying) :)

4:56 am

Miyavi_fan

lol! The only obscure one I recognize usually is Psoae, because of Anj's crazy clue. It's cropped up about three times since I've started playing

4:58 am

lola100

Yeah, that's what I mean. But be warned, it will now lay low for at least a week and then crop up again. By then you will have forgotten it, you will ask for help and then you will smack yourself on the forehead! I have an H word like that :)

4:59 am

Dianne

Going gangbusters - got the As and the i - going for the Es. I have E4/7. Does anyone know what the other 2 are?

5:00 am

FMitch

5:01 am

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Lola! I'll have to keep an eye out for it now, that cheeky minx of a word :)

5:02 am

lola100

et5/12 and the plural et6/21.

5:05 am

Dianne

FMitch and lola - thanks for the help. Got all the Es now.
Chipping away bit by bit.

Hey Anj! How you feeling this morning?

5:40 am

Miyavi_fan

Yo Anj ^_^

5:41 am

ren8

Hello Greg, you alright - Daniel has still not had a sleep. Lunch is going to be hell, i get this feeling.

5:42 am

ren8

Bob - only got 11 words and you talk of being at a halt, how do you think I feel.

5:42 am

Dianne

lola - thanks for the Ni5 info.

5:42 am

Anj

Hi Lola. Fat headed...it was quite a smoky venue. Didn't get trolleyed or anything mad. Ironically enough I went to to bed earlier than any Babble night lol.
How are you? :)

5:43 am

Anj

Hey Miyavi :) What's this, a sly day off??

5:43 am

Bobsta

Rach: I did manage to finish last night though, still, only 121 in this one.

5:44 am

lola100

I'm good babe, but I gotta go fetch the small person. Speak to you later?

5:44 am

Anj

I'm not going anywhere for a while :) Have fun

5:45 am

lola100

Later then! Cheers everyone :)

5:46 am

Miyavi_fan

Not exactly, Anj...the teachers are just sick of us, that's all

5:46 am

Greg37

he'll be fine, trust me i'm his dad!!!!

5:46 am

Bobsta

Greg: God help us!!!!

5:47 am

Anj

Miyavi, they are probably all down the arcade playing video games lol

5:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Probably...all apart from my maths teacher. For him, putting equations on the board is better than a Saturday night on the town. He's probably in his classroom, having a cosy chat with some gradients :)

5:50 am

Anj

Ah, one of those types who takes pleasure in actually evaluating e = mc2

5:55 am

Miyavi_fan

Yup, one of those! And he gave me an after school detention for my hair being pink!

Huh. He's just jealous because HE'S going bald *sulks*

5:57 am

Eva

Are there any k's?

5:58 am

Anj

Eva, no words beginning with K

5:59 am

Eva

Thanks anj

6:00 am

Greg37

6:01 am

Eva

Why doesn't the dictionary recognize that in terms of belly buttons people are either innies or outies?

6:04 am

Anj

Eva, I was grown in a large vat of concentrated copper sulphate so I don't have one lol
The downside is i'm blue and terrified of nitric acid :/

6:07 am

Eva

Okay - as a chemistry drop out, what's the interaction between copper sulfate and nitric acid?

6:10 am

Anj

If my memory serves me, it wouold do a better vanishing act on me than David Copperfield could ever achieve lol

6:11 am

Anj

Sorry eva, it was too quite in here. Something weird had to be said :)

Eva

The only vivid memory I have of chemistry class is that we used to "make" mercury (shades of the Mad Hatter) - by putting mercuric oxide in a test tube and heating it. We had competitions for who could collect themost mercury, and walkd around with our mercury stashes in our pockets. It's a wonder we aren't all brain damaged. Oh wait......

6:16 am

Anj

eva, lmao. Theye were the good old days, when a 3 session practical chemistry lesson actually meant there was a chance of dissolving something unintentionally, setting fire to your oppo/lab/teacher or seeing someone stretchered out of class for sniffing th contents of a retort 'because it was a cool colour'

6:17 am

Eva

Or, if you were very lucky, someone would fill the lab with noxious fumes which would require immediate evacuation and the cancellation of classes for some time.

6:17 am

Miyavi_fan

Huh...the good old days are still here, Anj! Not a chemistry class goes by without someone being taken out. My time came when some guy threw acid on my arm, "to see what would happen"

6:18 am

Eva

I also remember counting the veins on the wings of fruit flies. Now there's a useful life skill!

6:19 am

Miyavi_fan

And my sister set her hair on fire

6:21 am

Anj

Miyavi! I hope it wasn't concentrated :/ I've had a whiff of some nasty before which totally blocked my throat. It only dissolved when out of desperation I used an eye bath of all things. The intervening 90 secs were a bit lively tho...

Eva, that's quantitative analysis lol

6:24 am

Miyavi_fan

I'm not sure if it was concentrated or not, but I don't think (hope) so. It was only because we had a sub teacher. Everyone else was melting their rulers with the bunsen burners.

I hate school.

6:26 am

Anj

Miyavi, sounds familiar. Do they let you loose on the nice big glass equipment used for vacuum filtration or making sublimates? The stuff that reminds you of Dr Frankenstein's lab :)

6:28 am

Miyavi_fan

Hm...depends which teacher we have. If it's a sub, then we can use anything! But some of the stuff in there is really scary...looks like something that might've been used in the salem witch trials. (so THAT'S what happens when you get a science detention...)

6:35 am

Anj

Miyavi I used to love getting hold of that stuff. Big condenser flasks, retorts and U-tubes... REAL chemistry, not making test tubes full of co2 squeak (or usually shatter lol)

6:37 am

Anj

Have to scoot for a mo. Back at 1 :)

6:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Hah...I can just imagine you doing that! My class is pretty scary in chemistry, they all seem to take on the Mad Scientist gene...evil laughs and everything

6:46 am

Miyavi_fan

Hi Jera

7:20 am

Jera

I have to finish as early as possible, big feast tonight... I will be cooking all day (as I Babble)...

7:21 am

lola100

Aaah Anj, you are reminding me of my wild days as a groupie!

7:21 am

Anj

Jera, you should ask Jo if you can borrow Swedish Chef for that lol :)

7:23 am

Miyavi_fan

I'll cook! I have to cook for my family tonight, why break the habit?

7:24 am

Anj

Lola, i'm not comfortable with the whole groupie thing but i've met the Cult, Ginger, Dandy Warhols, Janus Stark, Johnny Panic & 3 Colours Red. And I can't quit...still see a band a week :) Music is my life lol

7:24 am

7:25 am

Anj

Yo Baggo, nice icon :)

7:25 am

Jera

And my picnic table arrived yesterday, just in time!! :)))

7:26 am

baggo

hi anj, isn't it a great one?? probably the best one yet..went under stained glass on images...8/

7:26 am

Jera

I can get a bit frenzied in the kitchen, but not quite so viloent... I like things dead before I begin...

7:27 am

lola100

Anj- it was mainly SA bands and one little known english duo that I hung out with. Had friends in BMG and also owned a small music shop for a while, so was always "back stage".

7:27 am

Jera

Thanks sooo much.. now I have that Swedish Chef song on my mind... just what I needed today....

7:28 am

Jera

That reminds me, I need to change my icon...

7:28 am

Jo

I have to gloat, I finished my FIRST babble yesterday!

7:28 am

lola100

Hi baggo :)

7:29 am

lola100

Woohoo, go Jo!!! You are now a fully fledged addict :)

7:29 am

Anj

Baggo, we're adding a bit of colour to the log lol :)

7:30 am

Anj

Jo, he was wasn't he. always chasing the chicken with a cleaver giving it bort bort bort!

7:31 am

Anj

Miyavi, what are you cokking for us then??

7:31 am

Jo

Yes, that's about right, Anj! LOL.

7:32 am

Anj

Hey, congrats on nailing your first full Babble - always a good feeling :D

7:34 am

Anj

Lola? music shop? back stage passes?? BMG???
Please run away with me :) lol

Who were the English duo then??

7:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Depends, Anj...how do you feel about something greek?

7:35 am

Anj

Miyavi, love greek food :) Do I feel a moussaka coming on??

7:37 am

Miyavi_fan

If you behave yourself!

7:38 am

lola100

Anj- I thought we were doing that already! LOL! I love my music too, all kinds but love good rock best. The english band is called Ezio. Was thrilled to find them still going strong out here and have been to see them in Peterborough. Their SA hit was Saxon Street, but don't know how it did over here.

7:39 am

Anj

*polishes halo, combs hair, inspects finger nails, practices best sweet & innocent expression*

Oooh moussaka! Can I come too miyavi?

Hi cathy :)

7:41 am

Anj

I'm looking forward to that coffee lol
Ezio, yup heard of them. Good rock? I could fill this log page with reccomendations lol
Are you sure you're not me in disguise?

7:41 am

Jera

Boo-hoo, it won't let me change my icon.. oh well...

7:42 am

Anj

Jera, check the type of file. It likes jpegs but it may protest if you're using a bitmap image

7:46 am

Jera

It is a jpeg, but a large one... it says the program will shrink large pics, but maybe I should whittle it down some, the original?

7:46 am

lola100

LOL! I think we decided I have more curves....

7:47 am

Anj

Jera, might be a good idea lol. Gives the programme a fighting chance :)

7:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Besides, Anj, you're unique! Nobody could match the obscureness

7:48 am

Anj

Lola, i'm not arguing :)
SA bands...only know about Seether really :/

7:49 am

Anj

Miyavi, I prefer to call it lateral thinking lol

7:53 am

Miyavi_fan

*giggling fit*

7:54 am

lola100

Anj- my favourite SA band is Springbok Nude Girls (they played on same bill as The Cult actually) and there is a new band called Cutting Jade that are quite interesting.

7:56 am

Jera

That did it... ty, Anj!

7:59 am

Anj

Miyavi, lol.
Jera, no worries :)
Lola, thanx babe, will check them out. What are your fave rock bands?

8:05 am

Jo

Either I'm slower today, or this one is tougher! Halfway through, time for a workout! See ya later! :-)

8:07 am

Anj

Later Jo :)

Anj, Anj, ANJ! *shakes head, pouts* look in ALL directions and used plurals :/ *sound of severe beating with large wet haddock*

8:08 am

Chessy

Hey Anj, careful with that haddock, you nearly got me :)

8:09 am

Miyavi_fan

See what I mean about unique?

8:12 am

Anj

I've done it again! :'(
*sound of crane, winch, air of silence, SLAP of large porpoise*

Sorry Chessy, I will try for a better aim next time :/

8:13 am

lola100

Well, Pink Floyd and the Who are gods. Love a bit of Cream and some Hendrix. Love U2 (except when they went thru' their pop phase). Springsteen will always be the boss. Guns 'n Roses, Green Day, Nirvana (does grunge count as rock?) Dire Strait for a mellow feel. Seriously hard question to answer babe!

8:13 am

Chessy

did you know all calls to the Sea Life Centre are recorded for training porpoises?
boom boom :)

8:17 am

Chessy--LOL x3 I just looked at your joke and read it to my fam. We all thought it was funny. Thanks for the jump start today.

8:23 am

Sheila- goes against.

8:24 am

Chessy

Sheila, withstands or opposes ...

8:24 am

8:24 am

Sheila Rae

Thank you lola. Now everyone back the the corny jokes, it's very entertaining. :)

8:24 am

this is not the plaice for jokes Sheila ...

8:25 am

Thank you all--you'd think with a17 and 19 year old I would have seen that right off.

8:27 am

codn't disagree with that, Chessy *pulls serious face*

8:27 am

Later Miyavi lol. I'm all fished out...

8:34 am

DarleenMB

Yeah Miyavi, drop us a line when you get refreshed...

8:37 am

Anj

Sorry Lola, yes good taste :) I've hung on to The Who (have you seen Who's Who?) and couldn't agree more with early U2, Green Day & Nirvana.
You should try Seether, Vines, 9 Black Alps and Subways by the sound of it :)

8:43 am

lola100

Seether rings a bell and I nearly went to see 9 black alps (can't remember why I didn't). There is a band called Tauracine that played at the local live music venue recently. Thought they had promise. I love all sorts of music tho' and what I listen to just depends on my mood :)

8:47 am

Chessy

any chance of a clue for do4? I have the action word and the fond one. tyvm...

8:48 am

Anj

It's a nice place to be...knowing what you like but still prepared to listen to all. I wouldn't call Art Brut mys style but i'm seeing them on Sunday.
You should sign up to www.lastfm.com I thought I knew music but i've found 50 or so good bands I never knew existed in 4 months using their site :)

8:49 am

Chessy, morse code :)

Bobsta: FE-7 - means eluded or evaded. Sounds like what the teenage girls used to do when they saw the Beatles in concert.

9:14 am

Anj

Lola, you're not showing any tracks played lol
Have you downloaded the iScrobbler plug in yet?

9:15 am

Miyavi_fan

...only my cooking teacher wants me to make bread instead. Quel dommage! I bet it's only because she doesn't like moussaka and is planning to eat what I produce...

9:15 am

Bobsta

Judi, D'oh D'oh D'oh!!!!
Thank you. ;o)

9:16 am

Jera - I do agree that the Renaissance/dark ages vocab should apply here as well. I might actually complete one of these if that was the case! :)

9:28 am

Miyavi_fan

So, Anj, what sort of bread shapes would you suggest then?! *evil grin*

9:29 am

Bobsta

Like the sound of that!!!!
I don't suppose you have the fr6/27 yet do you?
if so, any chance of a clue?

9:29 am

Jera

Thank you for that do7 clue... I mistakenly put in 7 BLANKS after my TO beginning... that would have been VERY BAD!!!

9:30 am

Every penny, ToeSock, because you get stats :)

9:34 am

toeSock: yup, definately

9:34 am

Anj

Can't beat a food fight for showing a person's true colours. I've been in posh hotels when managers have started them lol. Talk about not-so-straght laced

9:34 am

Jera

You get more than just the picture... you also get stats which can be good hints & handy at keeping track of your progress...

9:34 am

Judi

A small price to pay for quality social interaction, ToeSockMonkey.

9:35 am

torgone

It also makes you really cool, TSM!

9:36 am

Bobsta

Torgone: Great sales pitch!! LOL

9:37 am

Miyavi_fan

You never spoke a truer word, Anj...I think a lot of people are, deep down, very violent. By the end of the fight, we'd organized into girls against boys. My best friend was captain of the girls team...man, she was vicious...

9:39 am

Anj

Miyavi, you can NOT overestimate the psychological virtues of a well-placed, full-on pie in the face :D

9:39 am

torgone

It's true! I was a total loser until I became a Pro Babbler. Now I'm loved, respected and admired by nearly a dozen people!

9:39 am

lola100

Anj- I'm an architectural draughtsman by trade :)
Right, went to site and as far as I remember I downloaded the radio player but when I run it it just says "connecting to server" but no action. It was very late and I gave up!

9:40 am

A whole dozen? That seems a tad... high.

9:41 am

torgone

Well, okay..nearly a brace of people.

9:41 am

Anj

Lola, go ezboard - I will explain there :)

dazza, if you went to the best party in town, with all the A-list people decked out to the hilt, and expensive food, wine and entertainment, it would be the classiest, the to7 party in town.

11:19 am

Miyavi_fan

Woot, have just put food on so have a few more minutes of babbling to do! Also...er...McNaStud? If you want people to help you, it's not necessary to yell at them and call them nerds. Maybe asking nicely would work better? Just an idea, though

12:12 pm

Miyavi_fan

It was all Anj's fault, constable!

12:15 pm

torgone

There seem to be great quantities of diverse foodstuffs strewn about the place. Almost as if some person or persons had commited acts likely to cause a breech of the peace, not to mention cleanliness. I may be forced to make enquiries...

12:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

*tries hard not to look guilty*

12:16 pm

Thank you.

12:37 pm

12:38 pm

sproing

ni5 -- a world leader in portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology :)

Opposite of day + opposite of off.

12:39 pm

sproing

I find google handy in times of extreme need...

12:40 pm

Sheila Rae

Thank you all, the combined clues helped. Whew! Finished with the ni's

12:40 pm

Sheila Rae

12:41 pm

sfneil

So long, Judi... thanks for the help!

12:42 pm

torgone

Later, Judi.

12:42 pm

sfneil

Jera, think of a deceptive attack or "fake-out"... there's an fe7 that builds off of it.

12:42 pm

sproing

try adding a vowel to the middle of the first fe4/8

12:43 pm

Haz1558

You're looking for a word relating to paper - i.e narrow fe--- and margin.

12:44 pm

Jera

That has a D in it, doesn't it sproing? That would make 18...

12:44 pm

sproing

ahh yes, you are correct. I need to learn to read :)

12:44 pm

Jera

That sounds like something I don't have, Haz, ty... I'll go search on that...

12:49 pm

Jera

Best I can come up with is header & footer... can you give me another hint, Haz??

12:50 pm

Haz1558

It sounds like a word for 'to swoon' but replace the first vowel with an e.

12:51 pm

sfneil

Jera, are you sure you're not missing the fe5/16 that sounds like what you do when you pass out suddenly, and is spelled the same except for that second letter?

12:53 pm

Sheila Rae

Anj

Memi, the code we use just describes the type of word ok?
F'rinstance au4/4 means:
- word starts with a
- 2nd letter is u
- has 4 letters
- and is worth 4 points

1:30 pm

memi

oh thank you so much im just a little new at this

1:30 pm

Haz1558

Memi, for an easy start, looks for a word beginning with f. It has four letters and means the sort of tree used at Christmas. You will get a score of 7 for it.

1:31 pm

spellit

Can't do much better than immature newt and there is a N American species

1:32 pm

spellit

baby newt is a plural as well

1:32 pm

EvaNadine

whats the 2nd letter?

1:33 pm

fordo

ahh thank ye. Immature newt got me what I needed.

1:33 pm

spellit

You are twisting my arm! It's an f

1:34 pm

Anj

Memi, give it a week or so and you will be up to speed, i'm sure :) Oh, one more thing.
4 letter words are worth face value
5 letters are 2 x
6 are 3 x
7 are 4 x etc

...just in case you wondered how the points rack up

1:34 pm

Moozey

wow what has happened to the tiles a new font Dr God? nice and clear though the numbers are a little pale to read

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

and again DOH!
this time i kept trying to go up, not down!

1:34 pm

Lupe613

e 4x7 sounds like the word for opposite of "right" -- then omit the first letter and add an s at the end

1:35 pm

lola100

fordo- bet you never thought you'd use THAT sentence!LOL!
Hi all, I'm back:) Have the others been behaving themselves?

1:35 pm

memi

1:35 pm

Anj

Hi Moozey :)

Eek...my grid has gone all emaciated :/

1:35 pm

spellit

well they are not oaks or elms but...?

1:36 pm

Haz1558

It starts with f, go up one, then to the left, then down, then to the right! Also for your next word add t.

1:36 pm

Moozey

I prefer the old tiles if I am honest Anj

1:36 pm

spellit

points on grid are much clearer I think

1:37 pm

Anj

Memi, sounds like animal coats but uses a different vowel :)

1:37 pm

cbr1965

I have one y5 left - can someone give me a clue - I have the y5 with a double consonant near the end

1:38 pm

memi

ive found sixteen words so far and ive been on fro 10 minuites lol tankyou all x

1:38 pm

Anj

Me too, Moozey.
Spelit, I think that's the asnwer. The tile values have increased in size which has effected the letters maybe??

1:38 pm

spellit

the y4/7's have plurals don't forget

1:38 pm

Haz1558

Have you pluralised it and have you got the Abominable Snowmen?

1:39 pm

Anj

Lola :) I can stop pining now...

1:39 pm

spellit

Yes I like these tiles

1:40 pm

Dr_God

As a few of you have noticed, the tiles have changed a little. I got a little letter from Hasbro, so I've had to make a few changes. ;)

Some of you may need to do a few force-reloads to get all the old tiles to be flushed out of your browser's cache. Or you can just empty your browser's cache manually.

1:40 pm

torgone

Alloalloallo. Who changed the font?

1:40 pm

Haz1558

Well done, memi - a new obsession begins...

1:41 pm

Bobsta

woo hoo nice tiles

1:41 pm

Lupe613

HASBRO huh? It was only a matter of time -

1:42 pm

Anj

Cheers Dr God. I hope it was a nice letter...

1:42 pm

Moozey

oh unlucky Dr God, that is a pain. Intellectual Property Rights is a pain in the butt

1:42 pm

memi

my tiles havent changed

1:42 pm

torgone

They have a copyright on the appearance of the tiles??

1:42 pm

Things could have been worse. They said nothing regarding Boggle - only Scrabble. So I only had to change the tiles a little.

1:43 pm

memi

1:44 pm

cbr1965

Give me a break - I like the new look though

1:44 pm

lola100

Aaah, were you pining babe? Have to relinquish control of computer for short while but will not be gone long....

1:44 pm

cbr1965

Must be giving the big boys something to worry about Dr_God or they wouldn't be harassing you about it

1:44 pm

jrs

Dr G - why does the puzzle keep freezing up every thirty or so seconds? It makes it difficult to read the log or type words.

1:44 pm

spellit

fe4/8's us cops, provide food, a war of attrition

1:44 pm

Dr_God

memi-

You won't lose your words. They're stored behind the scenes.

1:45 pm

lianakate

For another f48..al capone was always on the look out for the Fe--. the word is plural.

1:45 pm

Anj

Memi, that shouldn't happen. Just press f5 to get the new look (although you might already have if you've only just logged in)
Your words are stored even if you log out :)

1:45 pm

Dr_God

jrs-

It's the chat log auto-refreshing itself. Some browsers have a problem with it. Firefox seems to be the best at handling it.

I'm working on adding a feature that will allow you to turn off the auto-refresh.

1:46 pm

8:06 pm

Jacula

Hiya everyone. Just come back from watching 'The Rainmaker', a Frances Ford Coppola movie from a John Grisham book. Does anyone think that Matt Damon looks a lot like Leo de Caprio?

8:07 pm

Jacula

pe6/33 - a cactus without spines, mescal, favoured by hippies. Sounds a bit like 'coyote'.

8:08 pm

cbr1965

I think Leo is much prettier - Matt is more masculine

8:08 pm

speedfreak

Finished.........anyone need anything before I say goodnight?

8:08 pm

kristin

thanks jac - how about the si5/14?

8:10 pm

8:10 pm

kristin

thanks speedfreak!

8:11 pm

Jacula

Snowyowl - since you're in UK you might have seen the ad for Nytol - the stuff to help you sleep. You ni4 has the a different 2nd letter (obviously) and is 2 letters on in its ending.

8:12 pm

Jacula

cbr1965 - well Matt was more masculine when he was beating that wife-beater round the head with a baseball bat!

8:14 pm

Jacula

But, yes, Leo de C does have a somewhat girly face. (And 'Titanic' was at least an hour too long. His version, I mean, not the original.)

8:15 pm

lianakate

CB..dang i didnt recognise you..Hi jac.. :)

8:15 pm

Jacula

Hi Kate. Your name was in yesterday's grid.

8:16 pm

Jacula

How are those disobedient and rebellious swimmers of yours?

8:16 pm

cbr1965

But the reality is they are both cute! As is the guy that's my icon!

8:16 pm

lianakate

Jac..and I didnt see it?..bet not ..there is Liane and liana..

8:17 pm

Jacula

LOL, CBR. When I saw your icon earlier I thought it was Prince William.

8:18 pm

Jacula

No, liankate, it was just Kate. Jera was in the day befores. No Babbler that I can spot in today's though.:-(

8:21 pm

lianakate

I am missing 5 dang S's,,two su's (i have the greasy one)..one st 5/14 m abd 2 se's, 4/5 and 5/16,, is there a good samaritan out there?..(llooking hopeful)

8:21 pm

Jacula

So, what do we all think of the new slimline tiles Dr_God's been forced to adopt?

I have one thing to say about the reason why he's had to change the tiles. The one thing the company who 'owns' the 'right' to them may have forgotten is that many people who enjoy playing this game might have thought about buying the de-luxe version of theirs come Christmas (and having people round). Perhaps they may now not do so, given the aggro?

8:23 pm

Jacula

su4/5 - litigated against
su5/12 - brushed leather

8:23 pm

lianakate

Jac..think Will is smart enought to play this?..Not, if he takes after daddy..lol..

8:28 pm

Jacula

st5/14 - Definition is: A small porch, platform, or staircase leading to the entrance of a house or building.

cbr1965

It was the first one - I thought it was in but NOT

8:38 pm

8:39 pm

Jacula

cbr - you either have more than one Abominable snowman for your ye5/16 or you have 2 of your other ye4/7.

8:40 pm

cbr1965

Sorry - I got it - it was the first ye4/7 - I thought I had put it in but hadn't - duh!

8:41 pm

Jacula

Wish I was filthy rich, Kate. Wish I'd realised what I was producing when I wrote it. AAARGH!

8:42 pm

Very cool to know someone that wrote an iconic book!

8:43 pm

cbr1965

I need two no - I have all three musical ones

8:43 pm

More likely to be a book of good old recipes, Kate, t be honest. I've got kinda sick of people asking me for recipes on the net and then telling me how they've SOLD the produce.

8:43 pm

cbr1965

No - it isn;t scifi (which I also love) but it has smart writing, great character development and very good sotrylines - UPN, Wednesdays at 9:00

8:46 pm

8:48 pm

Jacula

Kate, haven't checked back on the chat log yet, but did the 3rd Welsh member of the contingent in there answer my greeting? They wer South Walians, admitted, many of whom don't speak Welsh. All I said was 'good morning' and 'welcome!'.

8:51 pm

patact

se5 think of a sound alike for another name for the devil

8:52 pm

Jacula

se5/10 - Attacked (all in one word. SE* on). Se5/16 - plural of your se4/7 that sounds like foliage.

Jacula

'blackstone' is a weird word, too, as is its plural. Both are in today's grid.

9:06 pm

lianakate

only black stone I can think of is an onyx..and its not in the puzzle..

9:06 pm

Jatb

st5/14, sounds like when you st*** underneath something to get through except the 2nd to last letter is a 'u'

9:06 pm

patact

st 5/14 another way to spell the area in front of a house where people sit.

9:06 pm

Jacula

Kate - imagine making soup and then add the letter that cmes after the initial letter of that to the word.

9:07 pm

lianakate

i am still missing 9 words the st, and i think ye5/6 ..other than that I dont know, o major ugh.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, hould anyone want to know, today's icon is my hunting cat, the one that looks like the Bacardi Breezer ad cat, trying to get hold of sme chicken skin. But he's DANCING! Like he was outside the window tonight, trying t chase various insects...

lianakate

smart kitty! smarter than Liana..lol, she cant find the fargin st

9:11 pm

Jacula

Try again for that clue.... Thing of someone shoulting 'Halt!' ( but using an St word for it. Then add the 5th vowe before the last lettrl.)

9:14 pm

lianakate

i got the first 3 letters ..after that ..I am lost..the 5th vowel?.. I need a different clue, i think..lol. I am dense as hell..how I get this far on the puzzles i will never know..then I need help, and am usually toooooo tired to finish..ack

9:16 pm

Jacula

The vowels: a, e, i, o, u...

9:18 pm

Jacula

Every othe letter of the alphabet is a consonant.

9:18 pm

Eva

Could someone please remind me of the word count? I tried once aagain to show all messages and as always my computer froze up.

9:19 pm

lianakate

i know that..a, e i , o, u..and sometimes Y

9:19 pm

Jacula

c,mon Kate. I'm rooting for you...x

9:19 pm

Jacula

Y is NOT a consonant, Kate.

9:20 pm

lianakate

121 is the word count..(which, btw, i will never make)

9:20 pm

Jacula

121 words, Eva.

9:20 pm

Eva

Kate it took me a while too, but the clue that did it for me is what a tall person has to do to get under a doorway ...then change the second o for another vowel.

9:21 pm

Eva

I know what you mean about the impossibility of reaching the promised land. But I did break 100 so now I can go to sleep.

9:21 pm

lianakate

no..lmao..the nuns said the vowels were..a, e, i, o, u and sometimes "Y" i know the difference between vowels and consonants!!! I just cant figure out that damn word..LOL...too cryptic for me.

9:30 pm

Jacula

But if it's an st5/10 you're looking for - it's a kndof dark beear tht Ena Sharples, Martha Longhurst and Minnie Longhurst used to drink in Coronation St. back in the 60's. Failing that,. it's a description of a rather overweight short person.

9:31 pm

lianakate
