12:16 am

boatierra

Oh my g-d.......there's a super bad six letter N word. You just never think you're gonna see that in a puzzle. Heck in the last puzzle there was sl*t and c**t. That surprised me

12:16 am

k-dawg

i have 29 already

12:17 am

DarleenMB

we've had this discussion before. The words are, in and of themselves, not "bad." It's the way people use them.

12:17 am

mamabear

I don't have a list....

12:17 am

ruffh2o

te7/28

boatierra

"DarleenMB
we've had this discussion before. The words are, in and of themselves, not "bad." It's the way people use them. "

Ah. Excellent point. Still, always suprises me. You're not really looking for them, but they just appear.

12:18 am

DaQwyetOne

the word in this puzzle is bad all the way around.

12:19 am

mamabear

I don't have the 2 letter list - why do you think I do?

12:19 am

DarleenMB

well, I don't think anyone sits around arranging the letters ... it's all random.

12:19 am

brandyjack

It'll be posted shortly.

12:20 am

Smeltzdog

that "you" was plural

but you knew the i word was 10 letters

12:20 am

cybernan

I agree with DaQwyet

12:20 am

k-dawg

12:21 am

boatierra

"DarleenMB
well, I don't think anyone sits around arranging the letters ... it's all random."

micamonkey

1:35 am

sherb

morning GW :) well that's good, because I need something to stretch my brain...going to try without the a2z again today...

1:35 am

GreyWoulf

Not yet, mm

1:37 am

GreyWoulf

Well, there's a ton of clues on the log already, sherb
hopefully, you can do it
I'm at 62 w/o a2z but fading fast...

1:38 am

micamonkey

ah well one could hope :P
the a2z is really helpful lol
if only i can figure out what all the chunk of REs are :D

1:39 am

melissamay

an7 = Lack of energy; inactivity.

1:44 am

micamonkey

thanks melissamay :)

1:44 am

melissamay

You're welcome!

1:45 am

GreyWoulf

seconded, melissamay

1:47 am

melissamay

No problem; my 7s are in short supply, may as well share them!

1:48 am

GreyWoulf

which ones are you missing? I'm only short by 2

1:54 am

melissamay

Funny, I went to check and as I did I found quite a few. I've got 10 now. I'm missing re7/28 and some other, though I can't seem to find it on my list. I'm also being driven batty by he 6/27, if you've got it.

1:55 am

GreyWoulf

don't have either one currently, working on the he6 now
do you have the ai's?

1:57 am

melissamay

Just the ai 5/10 -- if you were to open a window, you could be called an ai***.

1:59 am

GreyWoulf

Ty

2:02 am

sherb

my monkeys found the he6/27 - a flight to escape danger :)

2:03 am

GreyWoulf

Ty sherb -- I could have sworn I typed that earlier, but I guess not

2:03 am

melissamay

Give those monkeys a kiss from me, sherb!

2:08 am

sherb

*kisses monkeys, who blush alarmingly* - they're not used to recognition!

2:10 am

melissamay

ha, sherb! The little guys have my sincere thanks.

2:13 am

GreyWoulf

re7 - to i5/10 again

2:14 am

sherb

funny how sometimes when you type in a surname, thinking 'it'll never accept this', it does...e5/18 surname of actress Samantha :)

2:15 am

GreyWoulf

sorry in5/10

2:15 am

GreyWoulf

getting dopey, the 5/10 meaning to bury

2:15 am

melissamay

GreyWoulf, that's great -- thanks, I found it with your clue! And sherb, that one was unfamiliar to me so I checked the def, and it turns out Sam's also a moth.

2:17 am

melissamay

Oh, and I figured out the last 7 I am missing -- it's the gi7. I don't suppose you have it?

2:17 am

sherb

well waddya know! I love learning new words I know I'll never use :)

2:19 am

GreyWoulf

gi7 - alcoholic comparative (this martini is gi7 than that one)

2:20 am

melissamay

Oh, GreyWoulf, thanks again! What an odd word. It has no dictionary def, either. That does it for my 7s, so if you're missing one (or anything else I hopefully have), please let me know so I can help!

2:21 am

sherb

good clue GW! when it come to martinis, the gi7 the better :)

2:22 am

GreyWoulf

I'll take your word for it, sherb
I seem to have inherited my mother's allergy to gin :(

2:23 am

GreyWoulf

melissamay, I am missing the 2nd ra7

2:26 am

melissamay

It's a weather comparative. London is ra7 than LA!

2:28 am

GreyWoulf

Thank you ever so much, now I can go to bed :D

2:29 am

melissamay

You are very welcome; good night and thanks for all your help!

2:30 am

sherb

sweet dreams GW :)

2:30 am

micamonkey

argh i got gi7 long ago but i couldn't find gi4/8!

2:30 am

GreyWoulf

I would love to stay and finish because I only have 24 to go, but I am dog tired (no pun intended)

So Good Night Ladies, hopefully I will get back to finish later
(*hugs if you want one*)
TTFN

2:31 am

DaQwyetOne

Four more words to go...any clues for An7

2:31 am

melissamay

Oh wait --- are you sure I answered you correctly? Because the second ra7 is another comparative, this one of the ra 5/14. Oh, good, looks like all's well. And sure, I'll take a hug. Good night!

2:32 am

sherb

*hugs GW*

2:33 am

melissamay

Hi DaQwyetOne, great that you are so close to finishing! The dictionary def for an7 is: lack of energy; inactivity.

First word I found was GreyWoulf's G7, but then I found out that one who rules isn't a ruler :(

3:03 am

yergo

3:04 am

melissamay

DaQwyetOne, if you count cards in Vegas, you r** the game. If you return a second time, you rer** it.

3:05 am

melissamay

Hi there sprite; I've been limping through this one.

3:05 am

micamonkey

cybernan, 5/14 is after the gem? the gem is 6/24 isnt it?

3:05 am

DaQwyetOne

in5/10 +in5/12 = 10 letter word

3:06 am

cybernan

yes, and ga 5/12 follows it alphabetically

3:06 am

cybernan

sorry - I meant ga 5/14

3:07 am

DaQwyetOne

THANK YOU MELISSA, your a lifesaver!
My first finished game, thanks to you!!!

3:07 am

melissamay

I'm thrilled I could help! YAY for you!

3:09 am

DaQwyetOne

thnx, i'm willing to help with clues. however, they aren't the best clues...lol

3:09 am

micamonkey

lol im hoping for my first complete puzzle too but seems like no such luck for me

3:09 am

cybernan

ga 5/14 and he 6/27?

3:10 am

DaQwyetOne

he 6/27: A flight to escape danger

3:10 am

micamonkey

an 4/ 8
an 6/ 24
en 6/ 18

ni 5/ 20
re 5/ 14
re 5/ 10
te 5/ 14
te 5/ 10

3:11 am

DaQwyetOne

ga5/14: think of the gem stone, but drop the last two letters, and add a vowel

3:12 am

DaQwyetOne

an4/8: to start again, to start afresh

3:13 am

micamonkey

thanks DQO! finally got that out of the way

3:13 am

sprite

N6/30? Babble should be kicked.

3:13 am

cybernan

Got the ga, DQ - thanks -- the def for he 6/27 doesn't help though

3:14 am

DaQwyetOne

an6/24: a disease of the throat; sore throat

3:15 am

cybernan

We've been all around that one, Sprite -- sentiment is all the same - worse than yesterday's baddies.

3:15 am

melissamay

sprite, I completely agree. I wish that words like that would be purged from the dictionary the program uses (along with all the words that are not really words).

3:16 am

sprite

Way worse. Yesterday's baddies were fun ;)
Well, I won't repeat all the comments then... I am with you all in this.

3:16 am

DaQwyetOne

he6/27 is a wierd word
the Muslim calendar begins in this year; a journey by a large group to escape a hostile environment.

3:16 am

cybernan

all the greek and latin words should be dumped too!

3:17 am

sprite

LOL!
No, only the N6 ones. I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to learn about ywis, crms, crwth, hisn and such.

3:18 am

sprite

Please, would someone give me a good slap over the head if I try and enter hearing and earring once more?

3:19 am

sherb

Greek and Latin have helped give us such a rich language...the more words we have, the better we can express ourselves...

3:19 am

micamonkey

8 more to go and slowly prodding on

3:20 am

melissamay

I've just 2 more: ni 5/ 20 and te 5/14. Arg.

3:20 am

DaQwyetOne

te 5/10: think about a popular flower pot (two words, but use on the first word)

3:21 am

sprite

That leads to a nice T7 too, I see. Thanks!

3:22 am

DaQwyetOne

ni5/20: think of person who does martial arts.

3:22 am

micamonkey

DQ: I got that 5/10
but theres another TE 5/10 which im missing

and any clue wtf is an 4/8?!

3:22 am

melissamay

DaQwyetOne, oh my, that's just sad. How did I miss that?

3:23 am

micamonkey

lol ni 5/20 likes to be masked in black too ;)

3:23 am

sherb

DQO - I can't believe I missed that one...my godson loves the Turtles!

3:24 am

sprite

I have a an4/8 that is rather novel.

3:24 am

DaQwyetOne

te5/14: this is the only clue i can come up with, so i apologize in advance:
The upper or dorsal surface, especially of a body segment of an insect or other arthropod.

3:25 am

DaQwyetOne

an4/8: something that is not old, is ***, just put the a in front

3:26 am

melissamay

DaQwyetOne, no, that was PERFECT. Now I've finished, thanks to YOU. Thank you so much for being kind enough to stick around and help!

3:26 am

DaQwyetOne

No prob, it's good babble etiquette...lol =)

3:27 am

micamonkey

3:28 am

melissamay

Well, then I hope no one thinks I'm rude to solve and run, but I have to go look up cameras online -- I promised my husband I'd research our next camera purchase, but I've been Babbling instead!

Good night, and thanks again!

3:33 am

micamonkey

erm anybody know whats the 2nd te 5/10?
i got the earth one

3:35 am

sprite

Almost an anagram of the other, micamonkey. Leave out one of the double consonants and put in a vowel. Then play around with the letters.

3:35 am

DaQwyetOne

its the earth one, but take away an "r" and add an vowel to the end

3:35 am

DaQwyetOne

Nite, and good luck to all.

3:35 am

sherb

still some way to go, and I'm bailing out to get the Sunday necessities...papers, coffee, almond croissant...oh, and to put some clothes on first!

Happy Babbling all :)

Can I have a clue to Ar 5/12 please?

4:13 am

sprite

dalmatian: I don't know a def of the word. Best I can do: start with a form of to be, than add an ending that means "of a certain quality". There is an i5/12 with the same ending.

Hey Woulf :) I'm good thanks, having a bit of computer trouble (it's in a strop with me). How are you?

8:38 am

CATHB

good afternoon all....how is everone..although small this looks like it could be a tough little grid today

8:39 am

Deutsch

Hi Grey!
Haven't started, CathB, but I think you're right about the grid!

8:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Hi Deutsch and Cath :) How are you both? Deutsch, no more manskirt I hope?

8:41 am

CATHB

hi Miyavi.Deutsch...i am fine..just finished the ironing so deserve a quick babble shot

8:41 am

GreyWoulf

Doing well Miy - glad for Babble though, it's my primary social outlet these days

Deustch & CathB -- you are right about the grid :)
Only 106 but some are tricky

8:41 am

Deutsch

Oh, gee, Miyavi! I had to leave yesterday. Couldn't take the whole manskirt and handyman duo. With luck, ms will stay inside today.

8:43 am

Miyavi_fan

I swear, Manskirt is a reincarnation of my maths teacher. Or his son or something. Both have the ability to make passersby cringe...though my maths teacher in a different but very horrific way

8:44 am

GreyWoulf

The clues were flying fast and furious earlier, bet 12:30 and 3:00, that's when I logged off -- but scroll back to see them

8:45 am

Deutsch

Miy, I know manskirt's son.And he's not cringe worthy. so I think ms and maths are brothers. LOL

8:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Possibly, whenever Mr F talks about his brother he has an expression like he's holding a dead rat in his mouth. Though Manskirt would have to be pretty old to be his brother...200 would be about right.

8:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Speaking of which, Mr F's favourite saying is "do you think I was born yesterday!?" yelled at a class of indifferent pupils. Not unless yesterday was 200 years ago buddy

8:51 am

Miyavi_fan

Hello...is everyone's chat log going funny, or just mine?

8:53 am

Miyavi, we have a match. manskirt is old. Maybe 200, maybe 400!

Snowy - I have been blessed with the most cooperative 2 yo I have ever met -- she has been seriously sick since she has been born --- but then the only way she could sleep was lying on my chest while I lay on my back
(important note: I CANNOT sleep on my back)
She was about 7 months at the time -- those were the longest 2 nights of my life

9:25 am

Deutsch

Yes, please, artlady!

9:28 am

Eva

Thanks gnubee! Now I have the admended king and the racing again, still missing the re6/24 and one re5/14.

9:28 am

GreyWoulf

LAney - the Stats include a total word count, breakdown the list by starting letter, and then furhter down breaks it down by two letter beginning + total length and point score (ex.- qw 5/36 = starts with qw, has length of 5 letters and score of 36)

9:29 am

FMitch

Deutsch, there is plenty left over - passes plate laden with roast lamb, and all the trimmings (English style). bon appetite! Who said you cant have that for breakfast, but you may want to pass on the wine?

9:31 am

GreyWoulf

I may just be brain fried from too much late night Babble, but I just can't seem to locate the 1st in5 or the last in6 -- help please?

9:31 am

Well I finished this sucker. But I've been finishing every day and my ranking is steadily going down. I do better when I don't play :)

9:52 am

johnp

fit - that has been my experience too

9:52 am

artlady

Hey, fit1, I went through that for a while also. Now it seems to be steadier. Then there was the 10 day period I DIDN'T play and I jumped over 100 spots!

9:53 am

Deutsch

Hi fit, the rankings are a mystery to me.

9:54 am

FMitch

johnp - aaargh and thanks for that
fit1 - well done for finishing, I've still got 40 to go.

9:55 am

hurshy

an7 sounds a bit like if you are a morning person, you wake up full of en**** - but change the ending

9:56 am

snowyowl

Hi - back form lunch this in10 is driving me mad! I have the in5 and the io5 and put them together it then says the word does not exist in the puzzle!

9:56 am

johnp

an - sounds like an al word that you can't be around dogs, cats, mold etc. but change the spelling some and shift the L to an N at the begining

9:57 am

joelgee

hail all!
snowy--
do you have the in5 that means between?

artlady

Hi snowy. It's been a while since we were in the same group!

10:01 am

joelgee

good news: there is an ai6
bad news: don't have it yet.

10:03 am

snowyowl

Hi Artlady - I had a problem with my computer last week - no internet for 5 days!!!! I read in the log that you've been busy ,so we've probably crossed over somewhere. Hope all is well with you

10:04 am

joelgee

hursh--
have it now:
An ornamental tuft of upright plumes, especially the tail feathers of an eg***.
your ai; take away the first letter of the above-mentioned bird and graft your ai on the front.

10:04 am

artlady

Doing well. Playing Babble with friends on my birthday morn is a treat! Too bad it's a little puzzle.

10:05 am

The ai6 sounds like a french detective - not agatha christie - Drop the initial letter

10:05 am

FMitch

Happy Birthday ArtLady - have a great day!

10:06 am

joelgee

artlady--
1st--happy happy.

10:06 am

thanks joelgee! i think i had tried every other possibility!!!
thanks, snowy, too - don't think i know that one (but, incidentally, agatha christie has no french detective, as he always has to point out - he's belgian)

You;'re so right hurshy and I love him! *Slaps self soundly*

10:07 am

Dachef, I will join your chorus...!

10:07 am

Faerie

Happy Birthday to the Art Lady from bf Michigan

10:07 am

joelgee

okay. I'm going to preach for a sec. While I was typing, power went out for a sec. very windy here today. But my computer kept going because I have a UPS. Everybody who has invested in a computer SHOULD have one. Sooner or later, you'll be glad.

10:08 am

joelgee

you say it's yer birthday, well happy birthday to ya. dadadada.

10:09 am

hurshy

(giggles at snowy)
joelgee - what's a UPS (other than a package delivery company)?

10:09 am

Dachef

joelgee - here here. my restaurant got hit by lightning a coupla months ago and everything got fried. I would've lost am entire years worth of financial documents. The taxman would've had a field day!

10:09 am

hurshy

snowy - who's the one you were talking about, though?

10:10 am

joelgee

This is what I'm saying. A computer guy told me that besides the obvious possibilities, when the power goes out, your internal power supply whatsis can get fried.

10:11 am

snowyowl

Maigret hurshy - Have I commited a boo boo now?

10:11 am

ruffh2o

ups - uninterruptable power supply

10:11 am

CATHB

think so snowy

10:11 am

artlady

Darn! I step out of the room to refill my latte and you all sing so beautifully! Thank you, thank you. This is rather fun!

10:11 am

hurshy

snowy - dunno - maybe nobody will notice, if so. what author is that?

10:12 am

joelgee

Uninterrupted Power Supply. Essentially it's a big battery in a bricklike box. Depending on what kind you get, the UPS gives you x amount of time to back out and turn off when power goes. Also, depending on model, you can plug in x amount accessories.
It's possibly the unsexiest computer accessory you can get, but possibly the most important.

10:12 am

snowyowl

Apologies then!!!!!! even less bright than usual today - but I am consistent!

10:12 am

hurshy

OK, so how much does a UPS cost? isn't it good enough to just have a power strip, and then your computer at least won't get hurt?

10:13 am

artlady

I agree, Joel. My mother lives in rural Wisconsin and her power's out a lot. She even has one on her VCR's!

10:13 am

Deutsch

Don't worry snowy, I so misread your clue, I was thinking of the Belgian detective, Hercule P!

10:14 am

artlady

No no, Snowy. Your brightness is a beacon to us all....as shown in your lovely icon.

10:14 am

snowyowl

Hurshy - Georges Simenon - they are really old stories and in the 60s there was a television series.

10:15 am

Dachef

snowyowl - your icon - is that Mumbles? Looks kinda familiar....

10:15 am

Deutsch

Thanks, Joelgee. I've written it down. Can I get this at radio shack? baltimore in the summer has brownouts. :(

10:16 am

stillcrazy

anyone have the an 7/40 yet? Can't find that one at all.

10:16 am

hurshy

i'll right that down. i love old stories! in fiction, i mostly don't read any author who didn't die before i was born. except when it comes to children's fiction.

10:16 am

artlady

Deutsch, you should be able to get it anywhere that sells computer stuff.

10:16 am

artlady

Stilllcrazy...without energy.

10:16 am

joelgee

No. Most power strips may protect against a surge, but that's maybe. A UPS, around $100 American, depending. Consider that cost against what you have invested in your computer and what you could lose, it really is, in my opinion, one of the best computer investments you can make.
The company APC (automatic power conversion, I think) is thought to be the major player in that field.
Don't mean to go on, but you're going to have a brownout or a power loss sooner or later. Might as well be ready for it.

10:16 am

johnp

any hints on the 1st en 6?

10:17 am

10:17 am

thanks for the tip. never knew.

Don't know about radio shack. I'd try a best buy or a circuit city first, but that's me. Call around. Check online.

10:20 am

joelgee

Nobody thanks you for a good set up.

10:20 am

Its lack of sleep Cath! Think the harvey wallbangers left the system during the long night of no sleep!

10:20 am

artlady

Ok, Snowy and Welsh company...I had to go check out Mumbles! Such an interesting name, but great scenery.

10:20 am

Dachef

cathb - sounds about right. When I was younger we only used to make it to halfway anyway!

10:21 am

CATHB

Deutsch - we are..its a small world

10:21 am

hurshy

thanks for the good setup, joelgee!
now, how about help with ar5/10?

10:22 am

Dachef

I had my stag night in Mumbles (long ago!), and my so-called friends tied me naked to a lamppost. I think my underwear is still floating around the pier....

10:23 am

snowyowl

Its very beautiful Artlady, but full of pubs and a bit rowdy at night now. The whole of the Gower coast is fantastic - If we could only get the weather there'd be no need to travel.
Deutsch I have finally got old enough to be nostalgic about home!

10:23 am

Poo's Mom

Now there's a mental picture....

10:23 am

joelgee

hursh--
A sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur.
I think it's also a variation of the French word for "Stop!"

10:24 am

CATHB

Dachef - that sounds about par for the course...there are now several stag/hen parties though every saturday and it can spoil it now as they start in the morning !!

10:25 am

Lucky, an 7/40 rhymes with what happens when you get a good dose of pollen, but lose the ll's, subst n.
As for ja 7/53, (ja 7/64) imagine even more LIPS.

12:54 pm

1:04 pm

sherb

Jo - no - there's a ji4/9 though

well, you gotta find a picture you want + save it to your computer at a size of 48X48 pixels.

then you click on "my profile" and edit icon and you upload it from there.

1:22 pm

sherb

isn't 'ier' comparative? ...'iest' would be superlative...

1:22 pm

mprotz

na 6/30 - unpleasant & perpetual reminder
ni " - change a vowel but forget I know this word
na 7/44 - superlative of na 6/30

1:22 pm

Eva

Okay, this feels really dumb, but where do I find a picture? And how and where do I save it, and how do I specify the resolution. Sorry for being such a luddite.

sherb

Eva - to find an icon, go to www.ggoogle.com, click on Images, and enter a few key words to indicate the sort of icon you want, then right click on image, choose 'Save Picture' and save it on your PC. If it isn't in .gif format, you'll need to use an editor to reformat it :)

1:25 pm

Eva

Thanks evanadine and granada. When I have a bit more energy I will make a first attempt.

1:25 pm

Sanky

sha-as a matter of fact I do...and ty for asking. "Home on the ra***"

2:37 pm

hurshy

it looks french.

2:37 pm

chic

Lucky, I have cousins and aunts and uncles in Amsterdam but I have lost touch. Is there an on line tel. directory that you might know of?

2:38 pm

LUCKY

Sabbat is the jewish word for Saturday Hurshy

2:39 pm

Ouwachita

2:39 pm

LUCKY

mprotz no it is not a french but a dutch flag, the french is red, white and blue on its side

2:39 pm

mprotz

Sabot certainly is a French word and how pertinent to happenings of the last few days. How is your neighborhood, Lucky?

2:40 pm

chic

tu, lucky. It was fun trying to read your dutch with karma. Its been a very long time for me.

2:41 pm

hurshy

yeah, i know about sabbat, but i meant sabot the wooden shoe. (workers threw them into the machines that threatened their livelihood - hence the term "sabotage")

2:41 pm

mprotz

That's what I get for putting my head down for a quick rest.
re + consonant + abbreviation for my home state, Georgia

2:41 pm

faeriekae

Hey ya'll it's Sunday afternoon in Michgan. It is rainy, windy and cold. What a nice afternoon to join in with the babble bunch.

2:42 pm

mprotz

Oops, make that:
te + consonant + said abbreviation

2:42 pm

LUCKY

Ty mprotz did not know. I live in a small village just half an hour drive from Amsterdam with woods, beach and heither (is that the correct word? for the purple plant?)
just outside my door. Just perfect!

2:43 pm

hurshy

oh i see my mistake - luxembourg's flag is almost identical but the blue is lighter.

2:43 pm

Ouwachita

ty mprotz

2:43 pm

hurshy

lucky, that does sound nice - you're lucky! ha ha. it's heather, not heither.

2:43 pm

mprotz

YW, O'chita. Are you close to done?

2:44 pm

LUCKY

The Dutch word for sabot then is KLOMP Hurshy.
Nowadays only the real farmers wear them at work.

2:44 pm

hurshy

klomp makes a lot of sense for that shoe - we must have gotten that from you then, when we use it as the loud noise someone makes with their shoes.

2:44 pm

LUCKY

Hurshy my American cheeks are blushing with shame of not remembering

2:45 pm

hurshy

btw, welcome faeriekae!

Hi joelgee... how is life today?

2:48 pm

Deutsch

Baggo is in Indianapolis Haven't heard from her today.

2:49 pm

hurshy

mprotz - are you saying i talk too much? (i do). :)
like joelgee's icon today. pretty.

2:49 pm

LUCKY

Hurshy I am still an American citizen with passport and all but moved to Holland already 40 years ago when my parents divorced and my dad stayed in the States. So my idiom is not up to par anymore

2:50 pm

hurshy

well, probably most americans don't know about heather anyway. it mostly grows in england. anne of green gables (in book 3) states that it only grows 2 places in north america.

2:51 pm

mprotz

We've had global increasingly bad weather all year. That might be the one thing HRH and I agree upon.

No, Hursh, like the little bear, just enough.

2:57 pm

joelgee

faeriekae--
Hello.

2:58 pm

hurshy

faeriekae - you just have to talk more. with so many people and so much going on, it's easy to overlook one comment. but if you make yourself annoying, like me, people are bound to talk to you. :) nice to have you, though. :)

I'm stealth babbling at the moment. I zoom in to snag clues and away I go again! lol

3:04 pm

joey

Hurshy, a lot more than you realize. Every once in a while I look at the rankings from the top - I don't recognize half the names there. I go back and read a lot of clues and don't see a lot of those names.

3:06 pm

hurshy

that IS the first re 6/24. second is:
kansas and nebraska are in the same re**** of the US

3:06 pm

sherb

hurshy - there are 2,566 players currently listed in the rankings, which means they've played 3 games or more in the last 30 days...so I guess most don't chat...I lurk myself sometimes, when the log is moving really quickly and I don't have much time

3:06 pm

faeriekae

I've been a silent babble for awhile now fun to just listen and grab a clue when possible I'm usually at work so I don't have time to chat

3:07 pm

3:08 pm

Ouwachita

3:09 pm

sherb

onyx...that is profound...

3:09 pm

CATHB

now hurshy you must think i am really dense..but i very rarely watch tv and not really well versed in abbreviations for american states (being the other side of the pond as they say)

3:09 pm

hurshy

funny thing, though, onyx - i'm that way in the real world, too, but i guess chatting rids me of some inhibitions.

onyx

na 6 30 edith on archie bunker was one,

*dances merrily aroung hurshy* thank you , only 21 to go!

3:30 pm

hurshy, I know, I know, but I am stubborn.

3:31 pm

hurshy

"....neither am i a maypole, kindly stop spinning about me." (not that i really mind, just couldn't resist poppins quote opp.)

3:33 pm

hurshy

i think in babble, you have to be a good mix of stubborn and clue hungry.

3:35 pm

hurshy

eg 5/18 ovum plus arkansas abbrv. just in case anyone needs it.

3:36 pm

joey

thanks for all the help, everyone. I am the closest I have ever been to finishing a puzzle, but I have to go... have a great rest of whatever stage of the day you are in.

3:37 pm

hurshy

my, aren't we quiet all of a sudden. this must be the ultra serious, concentrating babble crowd.

3:37 pm

hurshy

oh, bye joey!

3:38 pm

joelgee

shhhh.

3:38 pm

hurshy

(whisper) sorry.

3:38 pm

Sanky

hurshey - if this is the super serious group, than, most definitley, I am playing at the wrong time!!! I lurk about daily, using everyones clues!!!

3:39 pm

joelgee

'scuse me. could you speak up? couldn't he** you.

3:39 pm

hurshy

well make up your mind, joelgee!

3:40 pm

joelgee

mind? which mind would that be?

3:40 pm

hurshy

the one you aren't using to babble with.

3:40 pm

harpjane

TE 5/14 and the 1st TE 5/10?

3:41 pm

hurshy

te 5/10 te plus ra 4 (precip) minus last letter

3:41 pm

joelgee

senor joelgee no esta.

3:42 pm

hurshy

te 5/14 rhymes with german word for town plus vowel

3:42 pm

hurshy

joelgee - no habla espanol. did you say you don't exist?

3:44 pm

joelgee

Do I exist? Very existential question. Exist in which sense? I don't know, hursh. I have 14 words left. All 4-letter words are gone and like that.

3:45 pm

hurshy

i just mean, what's esta?
and what words do you want clues for?

3:45 pm

joelgee

Actually, I don't speak Spanish either. I think I said I'm not here which might be different than non-existence.

3:46 pm

hurshy

oh, i see.

3:49 pm

hurshy

well, if nobody needs any more clues...

3:49 pm

harpjane

AI 6/24?
AN 6/24?

3:49 pm

joelgee

by golly, I'm not ready to grovel for clues yet. Before I start asking, I try to figure it out like a puzzle. For instance, I know what my two te4/4s are. I know two te5s--the ones I don't have--are somewhere between those. Plus, I know by the points, how much the letters have to add up to.
For me, part of the fun is figuring that out.
When I can't, then I grovel with absolutely no pride whatsoever.

3:49 pm

hurshy

ai 6/24 if you're sorry you did something you re****, change first two letters

3:50 pm

joelgee

You going, hurshy? Have a good rest of Sunday.

3:50 pm

hurshy

yeah, that's my method too, joelgee

3:50 pm

hurshy

an 6/24 a heart condition (or, an plus italian girl's name)

3:50 pm

faeriekae

had to fold some laundry, its that kind of day

3:52 pm

hurshy

hi again faeriekae! i'm about to go.

3:52 pm

harpjane

thanks for the A clues. Still stuck on TE 5/14?

3:52 pm

hurshy

btw in my clue for ai6, the re**** should have been followed by the word "it".

3:53 pm

mamabear

good afternoon fellow babblers!!!! This puzzle is truly a "bear"

3:53 pm

hurshy

harpjane - so, did you see my german town clue?
my rowing machine clue? and my NBC medical drama/Georgia abbr clue? and NONE of those three helped? i'm getting depressed.

3:54 pm

joelgee

mamabear--
is that you lying down, exhausted from wrangling these words?

3:54 pm

hurshy

right you are about that mama!

3:54 pm

mamabear

very accurate observation, joelgee!!!! I have 25 left to find....

3:55 pm

hurshy

i just don't know if i can think of a FOURTH clue for te 5/14.

3:55 pm

harpjane

Don't take it personally, hursh!

3:55 pm

The Happy 1

hi folks hows it goin?

3:55 pm

Frances

my time to grovel may I please have a clue for en6/27

3:55 pm

harpjane

Well, then, hursh, leave me alone and maybe it will come to me!

3:55 pm

Haz1558

te 5/14 sounds like a manufacturer's name for tear gas.

On the ni word. I typed it in this morning and was stunned to see that it was taken. But when I think about it, I personally see yesterday's cu word as nearly as bad. Both are very, very hateful. I th ink we have to chalk it up to lack of censorship (which generally is good, in my opinion) and the vagaries of the database used to verify words.

mab--
I would not use that word in conversation. However, following Lenny Bruce's lead, it is JUST a word. The definition calls it what it is. Are you calling anybody that word? Do you know where your feelings lie about that word?
Do it. There's no derogatory intention on your part. The words are generated randomly.
On the other hand, who am I to tell you what words to use and not use.
In the final analysis, as ugly as it is, it is just a word.

It's not a tidy universe. What can I say? The dictionary Dr_God chose--as any other dictionary--is arbitrary concerning the words it contains.
Short answer: Go figure.

just looking back in and i'm with joelgee. these words are just taken from the dictionary which lists all words and doesn't pretend some don't exist. it's a computer and it doesn't know. it's like when a toddler grabs your boob - it doesn't mean anything!

Oh hersy, it's sad how much I get your toddler analogy! LOL

Regarding the ni word, I realise that it is especially offensive in the States. It probably isn't viewed with such horror on this side of the Atlantic simply because we have a different historical experience.

Thank you Joel, Julie, hurshy and all. What you've said makes me think. We wouldn't want censorship and the word exists and therefore is defined in dictionaries.

I guess it is a personal choice. What you say makes a great deal of sense. It is just such a hateful word that makes my skin crawl, so I will not include it, but neither, of course, would I judge anyone who did.

A bit of a shock for me. Thanks again

I think - there is a big difference between a word and using a word. Certain words we would not care to use, but they are "real". They are used / have been used in the world, and so exist in the world's dictionaries. Just because I include such a word on a word list, I pesonally don't think I am implying any derogation or disrespect by it, and therefore I'm going to use it. Just my opinion :)

5:01 pm

mab

Shorty: I think I often was overlooked before I payed up and got an icon simply because one stands out less than iconed people.

I've had the non-stop refresh experience. Try hitting your refresh button and it will probably stop. Failing that, log out and back in again.

So here's my favorite buddhist joke. I'll have to send it in segments:
A man has longed his whole life to practice at a particular buddhist monastery. He knows that they rarely admit anyone, let alone caucasians, but he travels across the ocean, treks through the mountains and arrives at the monastery.

6:26 pm

EvaNadine

answer:

make me one with everything!

Where he is turned away. He sits outside the gates in rain, snow, for weeks, until finally he is granted an audience with the abbott. The abbott says" You can stay with us one the following conditions: You will maintain the great silence except or once every 10 years, when you will meet with me and be allowed 3 words".

Smeltzdog

6:30 pm

Eva

The man agrees. So, after 10 years he is summoned to meet with the abbott. The abbott asks him what he has to say of his first 10 years of practice and the man answers, "Bed hard". (Okay, so I goofed - he is allowed only 2 words)

6:30 pm

ruffh2o

ok, smeltz, keep your bun on.

6:30 pm

joelgee

That's why everyone is leaving, Smeltz. The snot thing? Not so much.

The abbott nods and sends him away. After 20 years he returns for an interview. The abbott asks him what he has to say after 20 years and the man replies "Food stinks". The abbott nods.

Another 10 years pass and the man returns to the abbott once again. The abbot says "So you have been with us for 30 years now. What do you have to say?". The man says "I quit". The abbott nods and says "I'm not surprised. You've done nothing but complain since you got here".

6:38 pm

shorty

6:39 pm

mamabear

OK Smeltzie - this one is for you!
Two guys immigrate to America. On their first day off the boat
they are wandering around New York City seeing the sights. As
lunch time approaches they decide they are hungry. They then
come up to a street vendor selling hot dogs.

One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat
dogs in America?"

"I don't know!" says the other, equally appalled.

"Well," says the first, "we're going to be Americans, so we must
do as they do."

They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, please."

The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The
two immigrants sit on a park bench to eat their lunch. One looks
inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his partner and says, "Uh,
which part of the dog did you get?"

6:39 pm

6:52 pm

And the duck joke you have all been waiting for:

A duck walks into a bar and asks , do you sell grapes? The bar tendor says no sorry.
the duck walks in the next day and asks "do you sell any grapes?" the bar tendor says no sorry. the duck went in every day that month and asked the same thing, and as you guessed he kept getting the same answer.

so one day the bar tendor got really fed up and answerd to the duck "if you come in here one more time and ask for grapes, I'll nail your beak to the bar.

once again the duck walked in to the bar but this time he said "have you got any nails?" the bar tendor replied no. the duck asked.. have you got any grapes?"

Then I picked at the 4's and 5's. This was a hard puzzle. yesterday's was much easier - more "normal" words

groovy - I would go back to the Dodge dealer or wherever you got your warranty from and have that checked out

9:44 pm

groovygranny

teenage mutant .... turtles.....

9:44 pm

GreyWoulf

I'm not sure,groovy, but I would think that since you are within the original time frame the dealer would be the way to go I would think

9:44 pm

Smeltzdog

Who would say "Hiiiieeeee yyyaaaaaa....eeeaaaaaawwwwwwaa aaa..."

9:44 pm

Smeltzdog

sorry that was for ni5

9:45 pm

9:45 pm

mamabear

the ni word is a very derrogatory term that has ensued much debate throughout the day.....

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

re: wake up call - no thanks -- I'm jealous because if I were getting up that early I would have a real job with steady hours instead of a retail position

9:45 pm

groovygranny

hmmm I got the car at carmax and it still had the remander of the warranty on it ...... but I got the extended warranty so any repair is $50.... i'll call dodge first I guess ..... a friend whose a mechanic said it sounds like a bad strut

9:45 pm

Smeltzdog

note to audience - when saying that don't karate chop wife...she hits back

I sympathize GW, on the job situation. It all goes back to what granny said about life not being fair, etc.. sometimes. I am approaching a deadline at work that has me working 11 - 12 hrs a day for about a 3 or 4 week period. It is not fun.

9:48 pm

9:53 pm

Smeltzdog

9:53 pm

mamabear

Kimm - it is a combo of an in 5 and an io 5....

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i did miss all of your company...if you are pro, then the grid automatically ticks off words? if so that would surely shorten the time...seems to take so long!

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Just alittle tired MAMA
I actually took a nap in the afternoon today. Something I pretty much NEVER do

9:54 pm

mamabear

akaann - you are correct... it is a BEAR! (and not a nice one like mwwwaahhh!)

9:54 pm

groovygranny

Grey , Adelphia is horrible ....... they gave me a whole $7 credit for outages and we have 4 .. yes 4 cable modems in the house each on seperate lines

9:54 pm

mamabear

Yeah Smeltzie.... ants chasing me.... I got it *wink*

9:56 pm

akaann

Thanks mamabear, think I will skip this one as it is nearly over anyway.

9:56 pm

mamabear

Temple - it doesn't tick them off (make them mad?) individually. I print the 2 letter list and cross them off as I find them myself.

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

groovy - I hate that cable companies feel they can take such advantage of us, just because the majority of the public is to lazy to object

9:57 pm

mamabear

Smeltzie..... you ready to jet?

9:57 pm

groovygranny

grey so true .. hubby and I networked for awhile but he can't play his game with me networked so I got my own modem . I got unplugged every night !!

9:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Owl - what the stat board does for the pros is let us know how many words originate from a particular square on the grid. It does make it easier to detrmine if you have all of a particular letter but that's about it

9:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, good night, all...no babbling tomorrow - big night out!
stay well and pleasant dreams to all my fellow babblers...

9:58 pm

mamabear

Hi all. How is the puzzle tonight? I just logged on for the first time today and I am trying to decide if I can finish it in an hour or so.

10:37 pm

Charm

It's doable in an hour. Hi, ohro....

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey ohrom, it's a short but tricky one
106

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

and its definitely doable with the support team in place

10:39 pm

torgone

If I've gotten halfway in half an hour, you should be able to do well.

10:40 pm

ohromujici

Thanks GW, Charm. Good to see you guys again. I guess I will get started. I usually can't finish a puzzle with even 12 hours of concerted effort so this is mostly a lost cause but I will give it a try. : )

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Charm - yes I remember the "hairy fish nuts" (lol) -- when I got to PA I found out that Opus had his own strip...but it's just not the same
I miss Milo and Binkley -- remember Milo going into Burger King to order "one whopper, no bun"

10:41 pm

ohromujici

Hey Torgone. I am always happy to see my favourite member of the Marx brothers. : )

10:41 pm

GreyWoulf

Positive thoughts only, ohrom -- we're here for you

10:41 pm

raseboys

PT Barnum bird?

10:42 pm

Charm

GW - check out ucomics.com - they have new (I think) Bloom County, but it's $10/year and I'm just too cheap for that. I also noticed that the Atlanta Journal Constitution runs it; maybe you can blackmail your local rag into carrying it!

10:42 pm

raseboys

OK, got it thanks!

10:42 pm

ohromujici

Thanks GW. I am feeling the good vibes that you are sending through the internet. : )

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks for the tip, Charm
I'm too strapped to pay right now, myself

10:44 pm

torgone

Teamwork!
Yay team!

10:56 pm

Me too, charm.

in4/4 is the famous fresh water dolphin with the famous long snout.

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

raseboys

11:00 pm

ATTYCJS

Charm,

Thanks for the clue--I'd turned the last two he 4/5s around!

11:01 pm

Charm

It's not necessarily a bad reason, you know!

11:02 pm

Charm

Atty - y/w. Are you an atty? And are the initials really CJS? Or are you just having a little fun?

11:02 pm

GreyWoulf

I never said that!!
But I do believe in the other stuff I said, too :)

11:03 pm

ATTYCJS

Charm,

I'm done for the night so those answers will have to wait!

11:04 pm

ohromujici

I assume that there has been a lot of chat about this already but I wish that ni 6/30 was not counted as a word.

11:04 pm

Charm

'nite-nite. suffering from insomnia - too much driving....

11:04 pm

ohromujici

Nite Charm. Sweet dreams to you.......

11:05 pm

GreyWoulf

you are correct, ohrom
the majority consensus is that it is in the same category as the cu4 in yesterdays grid

11:06 pm

ohromujici

Yeah, GW. I about fell over dead when I saw that CU word yesterday.

11:07 pm

GreyWoulf

I was off and on all day yesterday and everytime, it ended up being a major topic of conversation

11:08 pm

torgone

Like it or not, lots of unpleasant words are in common enough usage to be in official dictionaries.

11:11 pm

GreyWoulf

Very true, torgone
Just because a word may have a bad history, does not negate the fact that it exists or that at some point in history, it was common parlance
I think that the biggest problem today is that too many people are attempting to rewrite history to impose todays values on the past

11:12 pm

helenary

I am so stuck on the in4..clues please!

11:12 pm

ohromujici

Have a good night you guys. I got to 30 words, noticed what time it is and then said cuss words because I have to get up and go to work in 5 hours. : ) See you guys tomorrow.
PS---GW: I was walking down the street today and I walked past a huge crowd of people in LOTR costumes. You weren't in NYC today were you?

11:13 pm

Charm

In4/4 - "A South American freshwater dolphin." It's one of those silly Scrabble (R) words....

11:14 pm

torgone

Nite, ohro.

in4=A South American freshwater dolphin. It is ten or twelve feet long, and has a hairy snout.

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom, know that MAMA and groovy are not with us for similar reasons
and No, I was not in NYC today, I couldn't afford it if I wanted to be there
And besides, my days of being a costumed fan are in the past

11:14 pm

helenary

thanks charm..how do I look up that dolphin clue??

11:15 pm

Charm

helenary - you could paste the clue into google or into a reverse dictionary like "onelook."

11:15 pm

GreyWoulf

Sleep well, ohrom
and if I do plan on being in the city I will give you a heads up,
It would be interesting to maybe grab some coffee

11:17 pm

helenary

thanks charm..I did look up reverse dictionary, and found it. I reakon that is a good site for us bubbles

11:17 pm

Charm

glad it worked for you.
=8-)

11:18 pm

ohromujici

OK. I was just checking. I remembered that you mentioned that you were of the sci-fi persuasion.
On coffee: that sounds cool. I am still protesting starbucks though. May have to buy it at a deli for that reason. : )

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

$3 for a small coffee!!
