12:27 am

Tuva

got 59 words and moving smoothly!

12:27 am

zubie

70 and I think I am getting annoyed with the elusive q :D

12:27 am

Babbler

Tuva, now you're just showing off..... :)

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

It's very tricky typing whrn you have a cat lying in your lap, pulling on your hands because she is insisting on attention :D

12:30 am

brandyjack

You mean the second q5/16, the russian beer?

12:31 am

Babbler

grrrrrrr.....

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

Bab - that's my line...

12:34 am

zubie

No, brandyjack. I've got that and its measure ;) But I'm missing a q and I don't know which it is! I refuse to look at the stats yet - the second letter stats, I mean. :)

12:34 am

Babbler

lol GW!

12:35 am

Babbler

zubie - I'm in awe of you, mate! :)

12:35 am

Tuva

lol....
second letter stats on a Qu???

12:35 am

brandyjack

add a vowel to the litre equivalent

12:35 am

Babbler

and you of course, Brandyjack! only joshing with the growls. :)

12:38 am

zubie

Arrgh! What do you know! The only option I didn't try! :) Thanks, brandyjack!

This is my second week here. [Week of actually playing games; I missed ten days between my first week and this week]. At first I relied heavily on the stats lists but now I'm trying not to!

12:38 am

Tuva

Russian beer qu??? Help?

12:39 am

zubie

Don't laugh at me, Tuva! :P I said second letter stats, but I actually meant the tile count and point score list! *hangs head in shame* ;D

12:39 am

brandyjack

After a while, once you become familiar with the oddball words this game spews, even a2z becomes superfluous. But those 3 sq words are going to drive you nuts. I got the big one because it seemed familiar. The 2 slightly smaller ones occupied me for a while..

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

thx for the tip re: Q5, brandyjack

12:40 am

Babbler

for a while??? we're only 39 mins into the game.....
(eeek, there's no hope for me today!)

12:41 am

zubie

Oh dear. Words to drive me nuts? Am I not nuts enough already? :) Okay. I shall work on them right now so that I can yell 'brandyjack, help!' when I get stuck! :D

12:41 am

brandyjack

Of which i spent 25 trying to get those 3 of the 60 i currently have...

12:42 am

Babbler

grrrrrrrr....

12:42 am

Tuva

zubie... I have 64 words... and two of those are the easy qu's.... it is the other one I am seeking

12:45 am

zubie

Tuva - which q's are you calling easy? For the ones I found easy might not be the same as yours. I have to quantities and a beer.

12:45 am

zubie

Resurfacing to say that I've got two of the sq's! *Dives back into the grid*

12:45 am

Tuva

the beer one, I think....

12:45 am

Babbler

grrrrrrr.....

12:46 am

Norad

Good morning all, off to bed soon with 77 and still looking. Tuva, if you didn't get it already that beer has a donkey in it...

12:46 am

Poo's Mom

thanks for all the clues and lists elmer

6:21 am

Eva

Good morning everyone. Could someone give another hint for the ro whale? I googled the definition, but cameup empty.

6:23 am

Jera

It almost rhymes with sequel, but with o & a rather than e's...

6:24 am

Jera

Could someone help me with this pesky po6/24, please? I'm getting a headache with 6 words to go...

6:25 am

Poo's Mom

jera - the tree?

6:25 am

Eva

Jerra, is it the tree you're missing?

6:25 am

gaily

jera - just spent 10 mins looking myself. found a tree

6:26 am

Jera

Maybe...?

6:26 am

Jacula

Hello everyone.

Eva - for the 'ro' whale think of the sound a lion makes and take out a vowel, and then add the 1st 4 letters of a famous chocolate mix named like an address (******* St). Hope that helps.

6:26 am

fit1

Well now I can't find my name on the rankings anywhere. I guess I've just diappeared. Yikes!!!

6:27 am

Jera

Could I have some details about this alleged tree...?

6:27 am

Jacula

Fit1 - You're at 824 o the 'Cream of the Crop' rankings list.

6:27 am

Poo's Mom

jera - "well liked" then drop the middle vowel

6:27 am

fit1

Not only can't I find myself, but the print is so small I may go blind reading it. LOL

6:28 am

Eva

Jacula & Jera that was great teamwork! Never would have gotten it otherwise.

6:29 am

Jacula

The 'po' tree. A tall, thin tree one type of which is a Lombardy. Often seen planted in rows.

6:30 am

fit1

Thanks Jacula. I never would have found that. And i'm not sure if it's good, but at least i'm there. LOL

6:32 am

Jera

I am ashamed I didn't see the tree... it's on of my favorites, especially the tulip variety...

6:33 am

Jera

Now I just have 5 evil h's to knock out... *groans*

6:37 am

Jacula

Well, I've nailed down 95 words and I think that's a good point at which to go off and do some non-Babble stuff - leave myself a few words for this evening.

6:42 am

Jera

Whoo-hoo, I'm done... does anyone need anything before I go get DD on the bus?

6:50 am

Jen

Way to go Jera!!
Morning everyone!

6:51 am

Jera

Hmmm... guess not... I'll be back later to chat... have fun, everybody!

6:52 am

gnubee

6:57 am

gnubee

Thanks for the ro7!

7:47 am

lshult

a few hours ago was given a clue ti squ's (to do with cell type), but still no nearer to getting them. any easier clue for this thickie?

7:50 am

EvaNadine

squ + the abbreviation for the American Music Awards...

then pluralize it in the greek/latin way

8:07 am

doraphilia

I still don't get the RO whale one, even with the "chocolate street" clue (??)

8:09 am

doraphilia

oh, I got it now! thanks

8:09 am

EvaNadine

doraphilia -- i dont have it either...can you toss a clue to the rest of us?
hehe

8:09 am

doxy1lover

dora, try jera's clue from 6:23, that one helped me

8:10 am

EvaNadine

oh wait, i did get it!
we dont have those chocolates over in the US, but luckily, my parents are from england + they always bring them back for me.
:)

8:21 am

e_gurl85

the player ranking board has changed right or am i seeing things

8:28 am

Jen

Oh wow! I just looked at that page. I never understood the last rankings page, but it was a heck of a lot easier to understand!

8:29 am

ToeSockMonkey

Good morn all =o)

8:30 am

e_gurl85

yeah it was i guess they are trying to make it for everyone to have there name posted i guess

8:31 am

joelgee

hello. Thought I'd pop in and do a quick beg.
Anybody have the ha6/24?

8:32 am

Smeltzdog

Actually there are fewer listed now than there were before.

8:33 am

e_gurl85

oh really it looks like more names now

8:33 am

Jen

I really liked the old way better.
Joel, take your ha4/6 and add 2 letters.

8:33 am

e_gurl85

me to i did to cause you could jump to your name instead of typing control F to find your own name

8:34 am

Smeltzdog

I can't tell anymore if I've moved up the rankings.

I asked Dr. God to put the rankings from 1-1000 back on the left side. He said it would make things look to busy.

8:35 am

Jen

Oh yeah, as if the new way doesn't look at all busy!!

8:35 am

e_gurl85

yeah it would but i would like to know too maybe he will think of another way soon

8:35 am

e_gurl85

the new way looks busy

8:37 am

joelgee

hey, smeltz,tsm.
Thanks. Got it.

8:37 am

joelgee

Hi gang, good afternoon to you all! Ready to babble after a long and stupid day at work.

8:44 am

GINGER1

Evanadine-is there another hint for the ro, besides it is a chocolate brand. I'm not from England.

8:46 am

ScoutsMom

You can do it, egurl!

8:46 am

Ho Hum

Afternoon,
Sprite arn't you usually on 1st thing and zooming through the grid at a rate of knots? Congrats on pole position BTW.

8:46 am

ScoutsMom

good morning, everyone!

8:46 am

AtotheNDRIA

hey there,
is there somewhere that says how many words there are? sorry, new.

8:47 am

e_gurl85

thanks scoutsmom i mean im getting better i get atleast 80 percent of them now but my goal is 100 percent

8:49 am

sprite

Yes, I usually am, but not on working days. I start at 7.00 am, so I am out of the house before the grid changes, lol.
And hey, I never check the rankings anymore... so of course I did after reading your post and I see they are quite different! Great going Dr_God. The rankings were really obscure to me up till now.

8:50 am

EvaNadine

ginger:

Ro + first 4 letters of a word that means "Having a high degree of excellence"

8:52 am

Ho Hum

123 words today - more detail can be found by going to the link on the right hand side of the screen for babblers anon

joelgee

*Doffs cap. Takes bow.*

8:57 am

Kallia

Sprite it will take you about 15 mins lol :)

8:58 am

joelgee

*Accepts Judi's comment as highest compliment. Wonders if she knows him.*

8:59 am

sprite

LOL Kallia! After a day's work? No change in hell. I have found about a 100 words that aren't there and only 33 so far that are. Good to see you again, btw.

8:59 am

Haz1558

Stopwatch at the ready, hurshy!

8:59 am

Ho Hum

I can see samosas - anyone fancy an indian takeaway? I've completed too.

9:00 am

gramma

Hi evry1! I just finished; so, I thought I'd distract you from your task. Actually, I was wondering if I could help any1 before I take off.

9:00 am

ScoutsMom

good morning, hurshy!

9:00 am

Kallia

You too...am on at odd times.Don't get much involved in the chat cos I am an unsociable so and so !

9:00 am

joelgee

Hursh--
I'm just going to work. Back later.

9:00 am

joelgee

Yeah. I kept wanting to see samosa too. Vegetable.

9:00 am

sprite

Could that be one of the reasons I like you, Kallia? ;)

9:00 am

AtotheNDRIA

ok, someone please just tell me how many words actually begin with the 'Qu'

9:01 am

Haz1558

There are 3 q words

9:01 am

joelgee

at--
3 begin with qu

9:01 am

sprite

AtotheN: 3 start with Qu.
And the Q is used more often than that.

9:01 am

Kallia

well Sprite, guess it means you hear nothing to dislike about me :)

9:02 am

AtotheNDRIA

oh my. Ok then. I definitely need some practice. ;-)
Thanks!

9:02 am

Queenruejean

I probably need the fish, but can anyone give me a clue as to the Sq8/60?

9:02 am

Ho Hum

There are 3 qu and 3 squ (and they are biggies)

9:02 am

sprite

Or it means your comment, if given, is always to the point ;)

9:02 am

joelgee

9:03 am

doxy1lover

queenrue, another variation of the qu6and7

9:03 am

Queenruejean

Jaws, huh? Guess I'm just not as shark as you are, Joelgee! But I'll thunk on it. Thanks!

9:05 am

joelgee

9:05 am

Kallia

ok guess there are enough people around who can give help, so am off to tend to my beef and guiness casserole. bye all

9:05 am

joelgee

huuurrrrssshhhhyyy!!!!

9:06 am

doxy1lover

Kallia

9:07 am

hurshy

joel - did you want something, or are you just trying to distract me?

9:07 am

sprite

Bye Kallia!

9:07 am

joelgee

the sq5 is an indian maiden with the last letter removed.
Then add a two-letter word for mother.
the others build from that.

9:08 am

Kallia

Bye Sprite, catch you soon I hope :)

9:08 am

joelgee

Who, me? Distract you? Never.

9:08 am

hurshy

as mary poppins says, "well begun is half done", and i am both.

9:08 am

joelgee

Is there something in the casserole besides Guinness?

9:09 am

hurshy

so your distracting attempts are futile.

9:09 am

joelgee

Hi ho. Hi ho. It's off to work I go.
Later, Babblers.

9:09 am

Judi

Hit the wall at 69. Feeling stupid that I can't get the S8. Any help?

9:09 am

Kallia

Beef, onions, carrots, bayleaves a little water, sage and allspice

9:10 am

joelgee

But yet, here you are, chatting.

Queenruejean

Judi

L8 being equally elusive. Help?

9:24 am

groovygranny

gooooood morning all !! how is everyone?

9:24 am

Haz1558

Streetlights, Judi

9:24 am

hurshy

L8 - judi, are you familiar with narnia?

9:25 am

Ho Hum

Judi, l8 street lights used to be called this - think 2 words

9:26 am

Queenruejean

Judi, old Herman's Hermits song... I'm leaning on the la8/60 at the corner of the street....

9:27 am

Judi

Aha! I knew it was probably a compound. *Bulb illuminates over my head*

9:27 am

groovygranny

brb have to search for something in the trash ugh !!

9:27 am

ScoutsMom

Or Simon & Garfunkel, "Hello, La8, whatcha knowin? I've come to watch your flowers growin."

9:28 am

Ho Hum

Wasn't that Norman Wisdom (same song tho)?

9:28 am

Haz1558

No, it was George Formby.

9:28 am

ScoutsMom

anyone have the two aq5/16s?

9:28 am

Queenruejean

ScoutsMom, good one! I forgot about Feelin' Groovy.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Yes, scoutsmom - they are variations of plurals for the aq 4

9:29 am

Ho Hum

Haz, thanks, as soon as I typed it I knew that was wrong!

9:29 am

ScoutsMom

duh. Thanks, Haz.

9:30 am

Haz1558

My husband says I am a mine of useless information!

9:30 am

Queenruejean

I only know the Herman's Hermits version, but I knew it was a remake. Thanks for letting me know who did the original!

9:31 am

Ho Hum

the things you learn in babble that you know you are not going to need to know but are glad too!!!!!!

9:31 am

Haz1558

Not that I was around when the original was made or anything...

9:31 am

ScoutsMom

I am a mine of useless Simon & Garfunkel lyrics.

9:32 am

Haz1558

Simon and Garfunkel lyrics are NEVER useless!

9:32 am

Queenruejean

I agree with Haz, ScoutsMom. Love S & G.

9:33 am

Ho Hum

I still have Bridge Over Album in LP version, brings back soooo many memories

9:34 am

Minski

Thanks for the S and G lyrics. Now I have both 8s.
See ya later. Baby and I out to run errands before naptime. TTFN. CUL8R.

9:34 am

Haz1558

My 18 year old daughter adores Simon and Garfunkel. Their music doesn't date at all.

9:34 am

sprite

S&G are NEVER useless. I agree completely with former speakers :)

9:34 am

ScoutsMom

Well, I'm sure they're all taking up space in my brain that could be used for other things. I even know the chatter between songs on the "Concert in Central Park" album for some reason, and that can't be healthy.

9:35 am

ScoutsMom

Bye, Minski--see you over lunch, as usual.

9:36 am

gnubee

ScoutsMom, the aq5/16's are plural forms of aq4

9:36 am

Queenruejean

ScoutsMom, it's all good for something. You just don't know what yet! My sister in law used to call me, 3,000 miles away, to ask me what song some lyrics were from or what the next lyrics were. I got a rep. :)

9:37 am

hurshy

hey all, clue for first ra5?

9:38 am

hurshy

nevermind, i mean ra6.

9:39 am

EdtheBabbler

HEY HEY

9:39 am

e_gurl85

well to be honest i am young and i never heard of who yall are talking about in my life

9:39 am

hurshy

nevermind, pulled a hurshy again.

9:40 am

Queenruejean

Hey Ed. Egurl, they were a duo from long ago. Music still good & popular. Have you heard of Paul Simon? He was half of them.

9:40 am

e_gurl85

never heard of him either

9:41 am

ScoutsMom

Pardon me while I walk down the office hall to smack egurl with a big big book.

9:41 am

Haz1558

e-girl - We're talking about Simon and Garfunkel (Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel). Extremely influential and talented singer-songwriters. If you've heard 'Bridge over troubled water' then you've heard them.

9:42 am

Vicuna

And if you haven't heard them, you've still heard artists influenced by them.

9:42 am

Haz1558

Scoutsmom - we're trying to educate not intimidate...

9:42 am

e_gurl85

haha scouts mom what i have not heard of them maybe heard there music just never heard those names unless they i just cant think of them. But when i was younger i did not listen to what my parents listened to i thought there music was horrible

9:43 am

ScoutsMom

You're digging your hole deeper, honey. It's not like I'm old enough to be your mom.

9:43 am

e_gurl85

haz scoutsmom always educats me where you think i got this website from

9:43 am

ScoutsMom

Plus, you live in Memphis. Perhaps you've heard Paul Simon sing, "I'm going to Graceland, Graceland...Memphis, Tennessee."

9:44 am

Queenruejean

Okay. Can't help anymore then! LOL. Different eras. :) Simon did 50 Ways to Leave your Lover. Or, my personal fav, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard. Garfunkel lesser known, but I love his solo.
Who do you like musically?

9:44 am

renee.fuzz

hey. any hints for so5/12?

9:45 am

gnubee

How 'bout S&G's "Sounds of Silence" & "Mrs. Robinson" from The Graduate?

9:45 am

Thrillbilly

so 5/12 plural so 4/5

9:45 am

Ho Hum

plural of so4/5 renee.

9:45 am

Vicuna

pl of so4/5

9:46 am

e_gurl85

Ok i think i heard that song about Memphis Tennessee if we are talking or thinking about the same song but i never knew who wrote it i just had to use that music for a school project

9:46 am

Queenruejean

Renee, plural of an so4/5. Pertaining to sleep.

9:46 am

gnubee

renee.fuzz - plural of so4/5's

9:46 am

e_gurl85

Queen i listen to hiphop r&b some new rock some new alternative and some pop

9:47 am

Atalante

I love love love S&G. Just walked in and feeling the need to add to the convo!

9:47 am

Queenruejean

Egurl, I like some of all types of music. From Glenn Miller to Green Day & everywhere in between!

9:48 am

sprite

Hi Atalante :)

9:48 am

Atalante

hi :) I'm feeling smug cos I found both 8 without any clues and after no sleep last night!

9:49 am

e_gurl85

Im just not fimiliar with the person who u are talking about i might know his music maybe just not his name

9:49 am

Queenruejean

Way to go, Atalante! Well done!

9:49 am

GreyWoulf

Hi all, just checking in

Baby needs her video fix :)

9:49 am

renee.fuzz

ohh! thanks!!! i could have sworn i typed that in

9:49 am

sprite

That's pretty impressive indeed, Atalante :)

9:50 am

Thrillbilly

Garfunkel keeps getting busted for smoking lately...

9:50 am

Queenruejean

Didn't think you would know Glenn Miller. He's Big Band. Actually died before I was even born! LOL. Must have been from Cave times. :)

9:50 am

Ho Hum

Atlante - revel in the feeling!

9:50 am

sprite

Hi Woulf, good to see you again. :)

9:51 am

GreyWoulf

Hey sprite, I've missed you the past couple of AM's...
how are you doing?

9:51 am

Atalante

I am - its a very unusual occurrence :P

9:51 am

sprite

Glenn Miller was famous! But well... yes... I guess I am a bit prehistoric myself :)

9:52 am

e_gurl85

I might if i saw his face im gonng google it and see if i see his face and maybe then it will make sense

9:52 am

sprite

Doing fine, Woulf, but I can't play on working day mornings. I start too early... the grids hasn't changed then :) How are you, and the little one?

9:53 am

Ho Hum

sprite - you are not pre histoic, I am some fair few years older than you!

9:53 am

Queenruejean

Ah, Sprite, join the club! Prehistoric club, that is. :) Love Glenn Miller. In fact, I'm In The Mood now, so will go put some on. Ya'll have a nice day!

9:53 am

GreyWoulf

Glenn Miller is timeless! I think to many he is the definitive sound attached to Big Band sound

9:54 am

hurshy

hello, whoever i haven't said hello to before.
anyone have a clue for sq6?

9:54 am

EdtheBabbler

ALL - How many words u guys got?

9:54 am

Vicuna

Knowing about Glenn Miller has nothing to do with what music you like best - it's about knowing your roots, if nothing else.

9:54 am

sprite

Usually I am not too fond of Big Bands, but Glenn Miller... hey, that's different :)
Not prehistoric? Great! *discounts a few wrinkles*

9:55 am

GreyWoulf

sprite - we're both doing good -- although I am cutting back on the early AM's myself --- lack of sleep leads to short temper which leads to scared confused baby -- not a good combo

9:55 am

Ho Hum

EdtheB got all 123 words! wohoo!!!

9:55 am

EdtheBabbler

woot woot yeh doggy just got a 6 letter word woot woot 21 points WOOT

9:55 am

Haz1558

hurshy - the sq 6 word looks like a shortened version of Red Indian mother. Pluralise in latin fashion for the 7.

9:56 am

Queenruejean

Ed, I have 84 & taking a break. Hurshy, I liked Joelgee's clue. Take the beginning of the word for an Indian Maiden & finish with a nickname for your Mom.

9:56 am

hurshy

many thanks haz!

9:56 am

sprite

Absolutely true, Woulf... you've got your priorities ranked just fine. Love to see you here, but not if the little one has to pay ;)

9:57 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - taking a break to collect my daughter from school.

9:57 am

GreyWoulf

Thx sprite :)
(*hug*)

9:57 am

Queenruejean

Way to go, Ed. Enjoy!

9:58 am

hurshy

done! haz - you had the stopwatch, right? what's my time? :)

9:59 am

ScoutsMom

Okay. Briefly back to the Simon & Garfunkel issue and egurl; I just played her "Mrs. Robinson." She said, "Oh! I've heard that song! I thought it was by those brothers in England, the Ringling Brothers or whoever." After much deciphering, I discovered she thought it was the Beatles. It is now my new job to educate egurl on the finer points of popular music.

9:59 am

lottijw

Hi everyone :)

9:59 am

e_gurl85

haha my bad

10:00 am

hurshy

beatles! brothers! ringling! *sputter sputter*

10:00 am

Vicuna

Scoutmom, it sounds like you've got your work cut out for you!

10:00 am

GreyWoulf

Indeed, ScoutsMom! There is quite a difference between the two :D

10:00 am

e_gurl85

Vicuma
why does she have her work cut out for her

10:00 am

Hi Lotti.
ScoutsMom, LOL!! The Ringling Brothers?? :) You get to educating that young lady! :)

10:01 am

Vicuna

Cause you've got a lot to learn, egurl! :)

10:01 am

e_gurl85

im only 20 atleast i knew the song soutsmom give me some credit

10:01 am

renee.fuzz

woot! i finished!!! and just at midnight. time for bed!!! heheh. crap. have to get to school early tomorrow...

10:01 am

e_gurl85

Why i have a lot to learn just because i dont know them

10:01 am

ToeSockMonkey

I have 60 words left to find :(

10:02 am

ScoutsMom

Nope, no credit for thinking the Beatles sang it, no credit for thinking the Beatles were brothers, no credit for thinking they were the Ringling Brothers. Just laughter from the peanut gallery for the rest of the day.

10:02 am

lottijw

I have to say the Beatles were "fab"!!!! I was brought up on The Beach boys and the Beatles!!

10:03 am

hurshy

e_gurl, i'm only 28, yet i know simon and garfunkel, can name all the beatles, and know that ringling bros are circus people.

10:03 am

Atalante

the Ringling Brothers? *tries not to laugh*

10:03 am

Queenruejean

Egurl, we're having fun with you. You can educate me with your music too. Sweetie, we ALL didn't know who someone or other was at one time.

10:03 am

sprite

e_gurl, dear... because you NEED to know if you want to hang out with us :D

10:03 am

harpjane

Nice clue, and I got the S word, but I thought I would point out that it is not a respectful term for "Indian Maiden." I wouldn't use that word in Montana! I'm not sure of the whole story, but I believe it was a perjorative term in one of the native languages. The white settlers decided to apply the term to every woman.

It's the equivalent of calling Mother Theresa a whore.

Just so you know!

10:03 am

e_gurl85

haha i do deserve just a little bit but you know what i think i know where i heard that song now... Wasnt it on Forest Gump

10:03 am

Tuva

Didn't the Ringling Brothers sing Unchained Melody?

*falls over laughing and nearly wets himself...

10:04 am

Vicuna

Now, egurl, don't feel defensive, I didn't mean to denigrate you. But Simon and Garfunkel, Glenn Miller, and the Beatles are not musical trivia. They are major parts of music history that have led to the music you listen to know, and without which that music would never have been possible. It should be fun for you to learn a bit more about them!

10:04 am

hurshy

i don't know if mrs. robinson was in forrest gump.
but it was written for the movie "the graduate" - have you seen that?

10:04 am

e_gurl85

I knew Ringlin Brothers were a circus but i got one of the beatles mixed up with his last name.... I will get educated so i can hang with you people

10:05 am

Queenruejean

Oh, Tuva! You bad!
Harpjane, thanks for pointing that out. As I is one (Blackfoot tribe) I guess I shouldn't have used the term. But I'm from long ago when people had thicker hides.

10:05 am

GreyWoulf

we have faith in you, egurl

10:05 am

hurshy

oh, i get it! she was thinking of ringo!!!

10:06 am

e_gurl85

Yeah my bad.... I have seen the graduate

10:06 am

stillcrazy

Good morning everyone!

10:06 am

lottijw

He`s my favourite!!!

10:06 am

Tuva

I can't get the spelling on ANY of the Sq's.....

10:06 am

hurshy

there were a lot of classic songs in forrest gump, though. just not that one, i think.

10:06 am

sprite

Here we are taught that 'Indian' in itself is already a denigrating term and should be 'Native American' or such.

10:07 am

Ho Hum

Harpjane - appreciate your comments, there have been some very unsavory words in the grid recently, some which cross all deivdes and some that dont - must admit not familiar with the derogatory term in todays grid that you refer to.

10:07 am

harpjane

Queen- are you Blackfeet from Montana?

I don't think of myself as the politically correct princess or anything. I just saw a "teachable moment!"

10:07 am

sprite

Ringlin' Star brother!

10:07 am

hurshy

sq6 you know first 3 letters, add beginning of most of your am words

10:08 am

sprite

For something completely different: I submit the word "quarrot" for a snobby carrot.

10:09 am

lottijw

Sprite how ya doing? I haven`t seen Hugs for ages have you?

10:09 am

Queenruejean

Ringo's my favorite too, Lotti. We share a birthday... his is just 18 years before mine!
Morning, StillCrazy!
Harpjane, Don't know for sure where my Grandma was from. My Dad was born in Iowa.

10:09 am

Atalante

I was just trying to work out what "marrot" could mean!

10:09 am

hurshy

ho hum - there isn't actually a derogatory word IN today's grid, just a clue people were giving for the sq's. actual defnition of sq6:

1. A scale or scalelike structure.
2. A thin platelike mass, as of bone.

10:09 am

Tuva

got the sq6 already....

10:10 am

CHESTER

hi marlborough ppz

10:10 am

GreyWoulf

Stillcrazy -hello and welcome

10:10 am

sprite

Lotti: doing fine. No, haven't seen Hugs lately. Hope she is fine and will be back to babble with us soon.

10:10 am

hurshy

i'll back up harpjane - i was told that "squaw" means prostitute.

10:10 am

harpjane

Queen-okie dokey. It's a big nation!

10:10 am

stillcrazy

Thank you Grey Woulf!

10:11 am

Tuva

10:11 am

Ho Hum

Thanks for that hershy

10:11 am

Faerie

I need the sq

10:11 am

mousakka

any hint for the sq8/60 ?????

10:11 am

lottijw

Hi Stillcrazy you`ve changed your icon, so i didn`t see you sneak in!!!

10:12 am

hurshy

sq8 sounds like a certain type of cancer ____-cell carcinoma

10:12 am

stillcrazy

I sure did lotti and ty

10:12 am

gnubee

Atalante, I was trying to enter marrot, too - lol

10:12 am

sprite

Sq8: you know the beginning. Then try a big nephew of the reindeer and leave out a vowel.

10:12 am

lottijw

Me too Sprite, it`s strange not seeing her wings in a morning!

10:13 am

hurshy

cute clue, sprite!

10:13 am

Tuva

sprite: You win a prize for the most obscure clue of the day!

10:13 am

sprite

LOL!

10:13 am

Tuva

but I got the word anyhow! Thanks!

10:14 am

hurshy

hey, my clue was the actual definition and i didn't even realize it. it's just an alternative spelling of that type of cell.

10:15 am

GreyWoulf

lol, hurshy

ain't serindipity fun? :D

10:16 am

sprite

One of the reasons I am so badly addicted to this game: serendipity!

10:16 am

Faerie

you people are just toooooooo much. Stop messing with my head ***&^

10:17 am

hurshy

sprite - you mean you are addicted because you keep coming back hoping that one of these days the word "serendipity" will appear in the puzzle? :)

10:17 am

sprite

Poor Faerie!
Try hit the 'Hide log' button and see if that shuts us up. (I don't give any guarantees) ;)

10:17 am

smaller

Faerie,
oh faerie, just give in to it

10:17 am

harpjane

So I'm sitting here trying to add "rudolph" to the sq word....must have coffee....

10:18 am

joelgee

Just popped in for a minute. Read chat. Didn't realize one of my sq8 clues was derogatory. Wasn't thinking. Won't happen again. Feel horrible.

10:18 am

hurshy

harpjane - NOT a reindeer, a relative of a reindeer (bullwinkle)

10:18 am

sprite

That too, hurshy!
There used to be a player here who kept hoping the word 'atlatl' would come up one day.

10:18 am

GreyWoulf

hursh - that's as good a reason as any!

10:18 am

Faerie

Smaller, you are one of them aren't you?

10:18 am

hurshy

don't feel bad, joel, you didn't know. how long did puzzle take you this AM? i finished in under an hour.

10:19 am

smaller

only by force, Faerie

10:19 am

joelgee

Took me a couple hours, give or take.

10:19 am

GreyWoulf

joel -- as has been pointed out on previous days--- words in and of themselves have no good or bad, it is the intention behind them --- do not feel needless guilt

10:20 am

hurshy

ok, i'll bite, what does "atlatl" mean?

10:20 am

Faerie

Smaller - I do understand - we are in a very strong crowd but ya know what - I can be as freaky as the best of them

10:20 am

lottijw

Joel i`ve seen mum today and she said you`ve to stop being mean and put your wooden spoon away!!! She`s also worried that Lola slapping you with it may become a regular occurance!!!(hahaha)

10:20 am

sprite

And the intentions are usually great here at the babble site :)
I second Woulf.

10:21 am

joelgee

Still, I have the right to feel bad if I want. I'm not going to curl up in a fetal position or anything. Sometimes it's good to feel bad about something. Makes me think.

10:22 am

joelgee

lotti--
promises, promises.

10:22 am

hurshy

yeah, joel wouldn't want to squawnder this opportunity.

10:22 am

sprite

Lol hurshy! Atlatl: atlatl [Nahuatl], device used to throw a spear with greater propulsion. Atlatls began to be used in the Americas in the post-Pleistocene period and were eventually replaced by the bow and arrow.

10:22 am

GreyWoulf

Than that's OK -- feeling bad for positive reasons is a perfectly valid, if ironic, path to self improvement

10:22 am

harpjane

joel-don't feel horrible. be thankful for a worldwide teachable moment. It's not even CLOSE to the most offensive word I've seen on the grid these days. Plus, it wasn't actually on the grid.......

bullwinkle with cancer, got it!

10:22 am

Faerie

not now, gotta go the boss is calling (I'm at work) he probably needs his nose hair cut or something.

10:22 am

Dachef

good afternoon/evening/morning/unde terminable time of day (delete as appropriate) ladies and gentlemen (but mostly ladies). How the devil are we all?

10:23 am

Want any help with feeling bad, joel? Just say so :)

10:23 am

hurshy

eww poor faerie

10:23 am

smaller

Faerie,
moderation. If you dive too deep, too quick. You quit your job, your family leaves you, they take away your home and......almost too unspeakably and the most horrific of them all - they may even take away your computer.!!! gasp!!! So moderation!

10:24 am

joelgee

hursh--
It was brave of you to make that pun. Obviously, you don't feel cheyenne all.

10:24 am

GreyWoulf

and he's not afraid to crow about it, either :)

10:24 am

hurshy

i guess utah right through me.

10:24 am

joelgee

sprite--
thanks for the help, but I have generations of genetic guilt implanted already.

10:24 am

Munner

Does anyone have a good clue for ro 7/40? I am at wit's end, and don't have a wit to spare!

10:25 am

Dachef

smaller - moderation? b*gger moderation. try excess, its much more fun.....

10:25 am

hurshy

ro 7/40 - if you think about the points, it really helps

10:25 am

joelgee

yeah, but excess in moderation, or is it excessive moderation?

10:26 am

lottijw

Hi Dachef, you ok?

10:26 am

joelgee

okay. Go now. Back later.

10:26 am

smaller

Dachef,
i did try excess but they took away my computer. And I've only been playing for a couple of weeks. that's why I'm warning Faerie.

10:27 am

hurshy

oh, but joel, i was waiting for your next pun, and then i was going to say, you want a pun battle? huron!

10:27 am

lottijw

See ya Joel......keep smiling!!!!

10:27 am

Dachef

cool bananas lotti.

l8rs Joel.... (nice monkey by the way)

10:27 am

GreyWoulf

take care, joel

10:27 am

Faerie

Smaller, you are sooo right I'll be good and try not to dig in too deep. be back soon

10:28 am

hursh--
that's why I have to exercise all my will power to return to work. Back later.

10:28 am

Munner

hurshy, ty, I was ignoring that.

10:28 am

Hm Faerie... "be back soon"... sounds you're in deep already ;)

Tuva, with hurshy's clue, I found it on a2zwordfinder.

hurshy - you fool me not! spirit broken, indeed!?! :D Have a great day!

mollie90

plz help on the qu (2 of them) I have the measurement one

10:33 am

GreyWoulf

You know, that last clue would have more meaning if I knew ANYTHING about the Gilmore Girls :D

10:33 am

hurshy

oh no, that's torn it! smaller, see it last night? do you think she'll break up with logan? what do you suppose is luke's big thing for next week?

10:34 am

hurshy

well, GW, even if you know nothing about gilmore girls, my clue still means you have 6 out of 7 letters.

10:34 am

sprite

Tuva: first part: loud grumble, leave out vowel.
second part: something of good make, leave out the ending.

10:34 am

cybernan

Good morning everyone -- the sunshine has returned to the Okanagan, so already it's a great day! Also got all but two of the chocolate fillings made yesterday...mmmmm!
Back for the last 14 - hope it won't take too long.

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

me neither, wolf : (

10:34 am

GreyWoulf

but I got it anyway, when 6 out of 7 letters are a lock, it's not too hard to get the 7th ;D

10:36 am

Bugzy

Hi all... time for a little Babbling before lunch... :)

10:36 am

GreyWoulf

Hey there, cybernan! only 14 left - good for you! 42 left here...

10:36 am

of course, hurshy!
oh the angst of Luke and loralei, never the two shall meet. not sure what the big thing is. like to stay in the dark, that way it's even more dramatic! so love how they wit quickly and pun frequently

10:36 am

Tuva

I have a formal Babble Complaint:

Why can't I use the word "Lameass" when it is RIGHT THERE?!?!?!?!?

10:36 am

lottijw

Hi Cybernan good luck......it`s pouring down here!

10:37 am

hurshy

i think they'll still get married, though, whatever it is. it's not the kind of show where there's nothing left to do once a couple gets married.

10:38 am

Bugzy

LOL Tuva... I thought the same thing... And isn't Lamo a word too, as in "She's such a lamo, she won't do anything except play Babble all day!"

10:38 am

lottijw

Hi there Bugsy :)
Smaller are you hiding my man somewhere about your person????!!!!!!

10:38 am

hurshy

bugzy, i think the proper spelling is lame-o

10:39 am

i'm a stickler for spelling of imaginary words

10:40 am

would never Lotti

10:40 am

lottijw

Ok I believe you!!!!! He may be around soon then :)

10:42 am

Bugzy

That explains it, hurshy :)
And is it driving anyone else nuts that one of those S's isn't next to the H??

10:42 am

hurshy

there was a farmer had a dog and lame-o was his name-o
L-A-M-E-O, L-A-M-E-O, L-A-M-E-O, and lame-o was his name-o

10:42 am

Hurshy, that is not a proper excuse -- some of my best friends that read comics are women!

10:52 am

ginger...ro 7/40 - first three letters is what a lion says without the "a" and the last 4 letters of the word "="

10:52 am

evanonut

torgone, sounds like its time to soak some seats.

10:52 am

smaller

not sure, torg

10:52 am

hurshy

it wasn't an excuse, just an embracing of stereotype. i don't feel that i need an excuse NOT to read comic books. :)

10:53 am

hurshy

e_gurl - if that was YOUR evil laugh, it needs some work.

10:53 am

smaller

hurshy,
i thought you had to go? by the way, when are you going to get an icon?

10:54 am

e_gurl85

i dont have an evil laugh im to nice to be evil lol

10:54 am

mtnjock

There is nothing wrong with reading a form literature that incorporates art!

10:54 am

GreyWoulf

OK, got me there... but don't use the stereotype defense too often (*wags finger*)... just by playing Babble all of us are breakers of stereeotype ;)

10:54 am

smaller

hurshy,
your icons should all be chocolate themed b/c of your name

10:54 am

hurshy

smaller - yes but then you said about loving gilmore girls and i got stuck. and your other question... never! (repeat evil laugh)

10:55 am

ScoutsMom

hurshy, comic books aren't all that bad...the trick is to find the ones WITHOUT insulting female stereotypes.

10:55 am

ScoutsMom

...saith the woman with "kraut king" logo as her icon today.

10:56 am

hurshy

ok, to be clear, i am not implying that there is anything wrong with comic books, merely that some have a taste for them, and some don't, and neither group need have an excuse for their taste, as it is just taste.

10:56 am

ScoutsMom

morning, mtnjock.

10:56 am

mtnjock

I agree with Scouts, all the males in the early days got cool costumes, and what did wonder woman get? a bustier (sp) and hooker boots

10:56 am

cybernan

he 5/14 following the body pump?

10:57 am

mtnjock

morning scoutsMom!

10:57 am

evanonut

good job hurshy, considering politics?

10:57 am

GreyWoulf

You got that right, scoutsmom -- I sometimes wonder why they targetted Barbie for presenting an unrealistic female image when the comic industry has been doing the same thing for at least as long --- I can't remember the last superheroine I saw portrayed with a realistic upper body shape!

10:57 am

Tuva

just ten words left.... ugh, this is getting tricky

10:57 am

hurshy

by the way, by babbling i do not break stereotype, i am the exact image of what anyone would imagine a babbler to be. i have letters with points on them tattooed all over my body.

10:58 am

evanonut

hey mtn, if i could look as good as wonder woman in a bustier and those boots, i'd wear them all the time.

10:58 am

lottijw

Mtnjock, i wouldn`t be complaining if i looked like her in a bustier!!!! It would need to be a few sizes bigger for me though!!!!! LOL

10:58 am

hurshy

evanonut, ugh no!

10:59 am

GreyWoulf

so hurshy, when do we get to hunt for words on your grid? ;)

Yeah, it's like Carrie, but with a K instead of a C, and an "AH" instead of an "AY" and one R and an I instead of an IE.

absolutely. there are definitely pros and cons...

11:15 am

hurshy

hurshy jooooooking. teach calculus and precalc. some promising students. some not.

11:15 am

cybernan

I don't understand why people think teachers only work nine months of the year-- everyone else get's holidays, what's more they get to choose when they take them -- teachers don't! Teachers are also at work for at least one week after school ends and two weeks before school begins each year and the good ones are probably putting in 10 hour days when class is in.

11:15 am

Bugzy

Cybernan - the sq's all build off the same 1st letters:
sq6 - squ + vowel + slang for mom
sq7 - plural of sq6 (latin)
sq8 - squ + vowel + Bullwinkle minus a vowel

11:17 am

hurshy

at private schools, like where my husband and i work, we have saturday classes. i only teach part time, but my husband has four classes, coaches, has dorm duty, plus grading and prep. he works extra hard in the nine months, so i think it sort of balances out to the same amount of work as a normal year-round job.

11:18 am

Niamh

my wonderful institution decided that things like caluculus and physics were best taught online, which wouldn't be so horrid except that the forum used is *&#@!*.... sorry did I say that outloud?

11:18 am

Tbug

so if you could put up an icon... what would it be?

11:18 am

Tuva

ha 6/24 and I can put his baby to bed!

11:18 am

72 Temple Owl

cybernan - i realize they don't work only the time in the classroom teaching. however, in this area, they do get more time off and more pay..many corporate entities do not get off holidays like vet's day etc...and in many jobs the times you get vacation is dictated by shutdowns, etc. anyway this began as good natured ragging on our friend hurshy... : )

hi guys - trying to get the sq8. lets just pretend that on this side of the pond we dont know who (or indeed what) bullwinkle is. To me it sounds like a very nasty genital condition. Anyone got a clue that doesnt involve a 'bullwinkle'?

11:24 am

The other or4 was a monkey type for me... doble the consonant & add a vowel... no definition...

Cybernan did that this morning but used to jump straight to my name but dont see to be able now.

11:55 am

SQ6
starts with SQ word for American Indian Female minus the last letter and plus a short slang word for Mother. Add different endings on to get the other 2.

12:05 pm

minski! you're back!

12:06 pm

ScoutsMom

anyone like to share a clue for ha6/24, please?

12:07 pm

Minski

Yep. I'm here most days but only for a short amount of time here and there so have trouble keeping up with chat. Best friend coming up for a long weekend and guest room is a disaster zone so won't be here for long. Also haven't eaten lunch yet. Not a bad grid today but challenging. I like the challenging ones that aren't ridiculous.

12:07 pm

smaller

may i have a clue on the am7 please?

12:08 pm

Jera

sq6 = a protective structure resembling a scale... play around with ending meaning like & alternative plural for the other 2

12:08 pm

walnutchen

scoutsmom: ha6/24:
1 : of or relating to the blood or blood vessels
2 : relating to or situated on the side of the spinal cord where the heart and chief blood vessels are placed

12:08 pm

doxy1lover

smaller, past tense of am5

12:08 pm

walnutchen

dunno if that helps, but the first 4 letters are the same as the ha4/6 before it...

12:08 pm

ScoutsMom

thank you, my little tasty walnut.

12:09 pm

i'm just kidding Niamh...ur way too quiet...I have both legs and you can pull the left leg because i like the right one better

Thanks for the confetti, Jera, have just finished.

12:12 pm

Babbler

Jera, I think he's working on it... :)

Think of a pretty flower that grows on a bush and remove the 1st letter and put the last 3 on the end

12:13 pm

doxy1lover

Have a good day all, need to get busy now.

12:13 pm

Jera

sq8 = sq6-like, ending same as sugar, too. (drop last letter of base word)

12:13 pm

ScoutsMom

babbler: for the sq8, take your sq6 and change the suffix. rhymes with the part of your face with which you detect smells.

12:13 pm

Jera

Good grief, completion... what I put doesn't sound decent, LOL

12:14 pm

walnutchen

thanks scoutsmom! that was a hard one!

12:14 pm

ScoutsMom

12:18 pm

ScoutsMom

M. Turnip: I suggest you don't just look for 5-letter words; find some 4-letter ones and make them plural; that should make it easier. Lots of "s"es today.

12:19 pm

malicious_turnip

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Try some of these
al 5/10 - female singers, not sopranos
am 5/12 - gather - think Roman Catholic church service
do 5/14 - roof of St Paul's Cathedral (plural)

12:20 pm

Babbler

yes, M_T. suffix is the ending.

am5 - to gather for oneself (add ed for past tense am7)

12:32 pm

xXxLollyxXx

turnip who r ya??

12:34 pm

Niamh

Babbler, I took some basic courses in child development and they claim that all the neuro connections are made by the time a child is I think 8 years old? So the growing part... I don't know, but brain cells do die and they can be regenerated... I think (punny hun?)

12:35 pm

malicious_turnip

u know who i am! i want your straighteners! have u found the box yet? or did u throw it away and forgot about it. i dunno if i shud tell miss who i am incase i say something bad or i swear in front of her... though she did tell us the lovely story of her daughter with the thing i forgot what it was...

malicious_turnip

12:36 pm

malicious_turnip

i know what a saucepan is

12:36 pm

Babbler

I keep reading that whenever we learn something new, we're forming new connections in our brains, which is why brain-stretching games like this and Sudoku, crosswords, etc are so good for us.... so that tells me our brains are forever growing.... no??

12:37 pm

CrysAnnMarie

Help please!!!!! am 5 (not catholic church) and am 7. . . pleasey!

12:38 pm

xXxLollyxXx

12:38 pm

malicious_turnip

yeah thats why my granny isnt mental coz she does crosswords and stuff. im too busy watching tv :D

12:38 pm

CrysAnnMarie

the brain isn;t growing- but the number of connections between the neurons are increasing

12:38 pm

Niamh

I was told that the reason we can't pronounce different languages correctly (and visa versa) was because those neuro pathways were burned bridges... I'm not an expert though... so maybe?!?

12:39 pm

Niamh

CrysAnnMarie, that makes sense!

12:40 pm

Babbler

that's interesting..... I'm good at pronouncing languages correctly, but my Dad was good at languages too, so maybe I inherited his ability?? I've always wondered why some people couldn't do that. Interesting...!!

12:40 pm

malicious_turnip

what was the clue for the sq word? i have no idea what it could be except square... and thats not in it

12:43 pm

hurshy

hurshy chiming in to say that while it is easier to learn when you're young, any learning at any age forms new neuro-connections. there was a cool study where they looked at two groups of men born only 2 days apart, but one birthday was first in the Vietnam draft and one was last. the ones who didn't get drafted went to college, and years later, they had higher IQs.

12:43 pm

Babbler

talking of maths, did you get the qu5/16 measure?

Bugzy, me and my sisters have decided that "Fat Bottom Girls" by Queen, is our theme song... my kids know that one and sing it often... the songs they pick are one thing, but this one is my fault, but do I feel bad? not really!

1:13 pm

malicious_turnip

being annoying stops me from getting teenage depression

1:18 pm

ScoutsMom

do you listen to simon & garfunkel?

1:18 pm

Babbler

1:19 pm

xXxLollyxXx

Oo kiss my bum! :P plz dont.... You sayin Im not sensible... not my fault if people make me despressed and I get bored... and I get attracted 2 sharp pointy thangs! (cathy dont get a dirty thort!)

1:19 pm

Miyavi_fan

Lolly, no thanks. Plus...what's a thort?

1:20 pm

Bugzy

Yeah, Niamh, it's totally my fault that my kid's into Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, etc. I think it's cool that he can name all 4 members of Zeppelin -- much better than listening to Barney or the Wiggles!!!

1:20 pm

hurshy

la8 is a street light.

1:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

wherever I may r---...I love that song

1:20 pm

malicious_turnip

say it out loud. its short for what you ppl with supposedly big brains call a "thought"

1:21 pm

CrysAnnMarie

thanks hurshy

1:21 pm

xXxLollyxXx

I dont know that song... and If you like It I will probs hate it!

1:21 pm

Niamh

Bugzy... I'd consider it a shame if my kids grew up not knowing who the greats were!

1:22 pm

hurshy

turnip, which clue did you want extended - the la8 one or the clean your room one? clean your room was for me4.

1:22 pm

Anj

Bugzy, get them into some King Crimson, Judas Priest and ZZ Top as well :)

1:22 pm

Babbler

did you get my tr5 - down and out?
there's another tr5 - a mode of transport down in Croydon and going out to Wimbledon and other parts of South London.... (plural)

1:22 pm

malicious_turnip

i didnt know that was a word! the first syllable of 1/4

1:22 pm

Babbler

that was the measure I was on about, M_T! :)

1:23 pm

xXxLollyxXx

I was reading this and found a rudey word! tut tut I dont think I will write that down for my hwk!

1:23 pm

hurshy

oops, gotta go!

1:23 pm

Miyavi_fan

M_t, thanks. I don't do text speak, way too confusing. It takes longer just to figure out what to say

1:23 pm

Anj

trolleybus!

1:23 pm

xXxLollyxXx

Cathy... text talk iz quicka! and it's actually more logical than normal english....

1:23 pm

Babbler

that's the one, Anj!

1:23 pm

malicious_turnip

i dunno about transportation unless u can ride on a hobo

1:24 pm

Miyavi_fan

Lolly, go ahead with rude words. Miss Linton has accepted sh*t, c*nt, a*se before. She won't mind.

1:24 pm

xXxLollyxXx

Wooo! go me :P

1:24 pm

malicious_turnip

i thought boffins were supposed to be smart? how is txt talk confusin? u just spell how u speak!

1:24 pm

Babbler

well, Gaudi the artist was knocked down and killed by one. Wasn't George Orwell hit by one as well? and other artists? (my memory seems to be rubbish nowadays). They're like trains that run on roads........

1:25 pm

xXxLollyxXx

I NEED 3 MORE WORDS! grrrr

1:26 pm

xXxLollyxXx

Mwahaha im eating an apple! Im a piggy :P Oh well,.... I need help

1:26 pm

CrysAnnMarie

okay. . .
what is ma5 - not the milkshakes

1:26 pm

Miyavi_fan

You know, we aren't all boffins on here. And some people find that offensive if you want clues. Just a bit of advice, maybe if you don't call people names, they will help you.
Okay, now I really am shutting up. And possibly bringing body guards to school tomorrow

1:26 pm

Babbler

M_T - it takes longer to decipher txt spk because our eyes aren't used to the patterns. When words are typed out in full, then they are more quickly recognised and processed by our brains. (everyone agree with my theory?)

1:27 pm

Niamh

three cheers for Babbler!!! I agree completely!

1:27 pm

malicious_turnip

i would agree wit u if u sed that too much txt talk is annoying bcoz it has lack of anything interesting, like my friend. "den der was dis freek hu sed ur a ho n dey wer al like ur so stpid n jr is rly gay init" bcoz i hate ppl sayin d instead of th

1:28 pm

Bugzy

Anj, He already likes ZZ Top & Priest... not as familiar with King Crimson but will look for them (it?).... His current fave is AC/DC :)

1:28 pm

Babbler

Lolly, eating an apple doesn't make you a piggy!!! It makes you very good and you can stand over junk food junkies and lord it over them cos you chose the healthier option. Jamie Oliver would be proud!

1:28 pm

Miyavi_fan

I agree...plus..."Saturday gonna b jks innit girlz! lolz luvin sxe boiz!" What the hell?

I'd help Crys, but I don't have it either..... errrr, bit busy chatting with my buddies...... LOL! :)

1:30 pm

xXxLollyxXx

DONT DISRESPECT THE WAY I SPEAK! That's how I speak normally but I feel dumb if I dont speak proper!

1:30 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Haz, I'm good thanks. How are you?

1:30 pm

Vicuna

Using textspeak in this chat is like going to a foreign country and speaking English REALLY LOUDLY. If communication is your goal, you have to write what people will understand.

1:31 pm

Niamh

at the risk of offending and being rude... I think txt speek is just completely unintelligent, the english language is difficult but beautiful and txt speek is lazy and, well stupid (sorry that's my opinion)

I'm fine - I finished earlier on and just popped back to see how the homeworkers were getting on.

1:31 pm

Anj

Bugzy, it's Robert Fripp's group. Woot! If he likes AC/DC then you need to get him into Electric-era Cult and stuff like that. I would recommend the Wildhearts too.
Plus Thornley, Depswa, Headstones, Theory of a Deadman... er, this list could go on a bit

1:31 pm

Babbler

who disrespected you Lolly? Was it me? Apologies if I did. :(

1:33 pm

ScoutsMom

Bugzy, if we all left to go to a bar for drinks, we'd leave the site "en ma5"

1:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

you're welcome Marolan :)
So shouldn't that make text speak even more confusing? Since you manage to make a 5 letter word into two letters and a number, like l8r

1:33 pm

Haz1558

Are you looking for ma5/12 that comes before ma 6/24? If so, take off the d.

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

thanks! my brain was starting to hurt!

1:34 pm

Meant that for CrysAnn, but it's funny that Bugzy and I used the same clue. Sorry for confusion!

1:34 pm

Bugzy

Anj - The Cult's Electric is one of my all-time favorites... once threw out my back dancing to "Wildflower":)
I know Theory of a Deadman but the others I will have to check out. I want to make sure my kid has a solid musical background!!

Well, there's the one in the chip shop, the one who used to be ruler of a small european nation...you know.

1:42 pm

the only thing i dont like about him though is in his videos they allways do a close-up of his hairy gob (thats british slang for mouth!!!)

1:43 pm

malicious_turnip

i cant decide if i like system of a down or not. they have some really good choruses but then a small tattooed bald man starts screaming!

Miyavi_fan

Anyway...Malicious Turnip, are you who I think you are? Since I know about two people who I think have good music taste in miss linton's class

1:44 pm

Bugzy

You have to admit, though, that the video for Learning to Fly, where DG plays all the people on the plane, is pretty hilarious!

1:44 pm

Tuva

Need to scamper... be back in a bit....

*waves to Babbler as he scurries off...

1:44 pm

I agree M_T - system of a down - not sure about them

hey im no mind reader but im not famous for my gd taste in music either... oh and red hot chili peppers!!

1:45 pm

Miyavi_fan

M_T, you need to get into System of a Down, I think the music is better than the vocals. It's like Rage against the Machine, you need to listen to it over and over before it sinks in

moozey It used to say Jump to Mama 77 but now it looks as though I have to trawl through the lists. Any short cuts?

2:08 pm

walnutchen

AnnMarie - for me, that was posted earlier, and didn't help me either. so, for ra5, its more like, "oh man, I got in a car accident, some one (ra5) = ___ ___!"

2:08 pm

Judi

Don't shout, MaryMelody. We can hear you just fine. Read the Babble Rules.

2:09 pm

2:10 pm

Babbler

I can't get this ra5 at all..........
the ra6 I think was in a grid a few weeks back and I struggled with it then........ can't find it! :(

2:10 pm

malicious_turnip

its really annoying that they keep saying john jandice and sometimes jandice jandice SHUT UP!!

2:10 pm

joelgee

marymelody--
someone suggested the other day, take a deep breath and just look. The words you know WILL appear.

2:10 pm

Moozey

to be honest Mama all I did was CTRL F and then put my name in to find myself, I just like how Dr God explained how the rankings work, it seems a lot clearer

2:11 pm

Marymelody

See what I mean? What the heck is ra6? wah! merymelody

2:11 pm

Faerie

Marymelody - I've been at this all *&*+~day and I only have 29 words however I'm also working so it's just a hit and miss kind of thing for me so chill and it will all come to you read the past postings for clues

2:11 pm

Tbug

well, we tried all looking at the camera... but the pics looked kinda funny so we all tried looking away, dont remember at what, but something on the floor :)

2:12 pm

knuckles01

"ra6" is shorthand for one of the words you can find. It starts with "ra" and is worth 6 points (see the numbers on each tile). Make sense? I was a newbie once too -- you'll get better with practice!

2:12 pm

CrysAnnMarie

mary- go through the ones you have and see if you can arrange the letters or add letters (s, al, etc) to form new words

2:12 pm

malicious_turnip

lol kk. mr tolkinghorn is a scary bugger!Â¬

2:13 pm

knuckles01

Actually, I should restate that -- I am STILL a newbie! But I've gotten better with practice! :)

2:13 pm

malicious_turnip

why does it keep doing those A;s?!!!!!!

2:13 pm

mtnjock

could I get a clue on the ha 4/5 that looks like it has a plural

2:13 pm

Anj

Babbler, think of a male sheepee :)

2:13 pm

Marymelody

Thank you, everyone for your help and encouragement. I will try the hints you've shared. raining in San Diego today, so what better day to babble, I say...thanks!

2:14 pm

CrysAnnMarie

ra 6 means starts with ra and has 6 letters. . . and i still need a hint on it please!

2:14 pm

Moozey

Marymelody - Ra6 21 means a word beginning with RA that is 6 letters in length and the score when added up equals to 21.

2:14 pm

knuckles01

Just FYI, ha 4/5 means the word starts with "ha" has 4 letters in it, and is worth 5 points.

Someone tell me if I'm saying this wrong! :)

2:14 pm

joelgee

ra6/24 (for instance) means:
ra=1st two letters
6=number of letters in word
24=points for word (numbers on "tiles" x bonus depending on number of letters in word.

2:14 pm

Judi

Finito! Finally.

2:14 pm

Charade was on TCM the other night. Forgot how good it was. North by Northwest is one of my all time favorites.
Also, Gunga Din, Notorious, I could go on.

Good work walnutchen!!! Feels good to finish, eh?

Hi Babbler - It would have been nice if Dr God had shaken the bag a bit when he chose these letters. The vowels are very little use as a border and would have been better scattered around a bit>

2:21 pm

Jen13

So I was using alas wrong??

2:21 pm

joelgee

I love the moment in Charade, when Hepburn points to the cleft in Cary's chin and asks, "how do you shave in there?"
Writers knew what they were doing.

2:21 pm

mt--
the stress is obvious. It is getting to you. Y'know, sometimes you have to tell people things even if they're not going to get it. It vents the pressure for you.

2:38 pm

Babbler

no M_T, listen to your instincts and what your heart is telling you. If you're unhappy, then that's what matters. Don't fall in the trap of always forgiving others and beating yourself up for nothing. Don't make excuses for other people's bad behaviour, in other words.

2:41 pm

malicious_turnip

i think my brain works too fast for me to realise whats going on. i have these "future thingys" which none of u will belive but i just remembered saying that i remembered thinking exactly the same thing about something that i just thought about and i cant even remember what it was... its like i remember seeing an unnessesary part of the future... like scribbling in my maths book or something... ok never mind

2:42 pm

smaller

sorry lola,
earlier i thought your reponse was odd, but it just occured to me why,
i wrote hugs and snogs,.." note the comma there
it wasn't an action I was taking. It was a salutation through you.
make sense?

2:42 pm

squ + vowel + shortened word for mother

Turnip, apparently they were detained filming a TV show. One of the guys with me recently bought a ticket for their Cardiff Barfly gig and they cancelled that as well. Filming a video in LA this time allegedly. :/

Siku - 1st two letters of the word, total number of letters in the word, total number of points.

6:50 pm

Mishele507

siku- if it is ha 4 4 for example it means that the word starts with ha has 4 letters and is worth 4 points

6:50 pm

DirtBikeGirl

Kristin - add 2 letters to your ha4/6

6:51 pm

Kristin43

Siku.... the "ha" designates the first 2 letters of the word in the Babble puzzle. The first number is the number of letters in the word. The second number is the number of points you score.

6:51 pm

eisbar266

I have a question, when looking at the stats for this puzzle, under 2nd letter count, how am I supposed to read it? i.e. Ah 1 - ,Ah4X1 or Al 4 - ,Al4x3, Al5x1. Please help!! Thanks!

NEW FEATURE ALERT

I added a new feature to the Rankings page. You can now see your rank at the top of each of the three ladders.

As always, you may need to refresh the page a couple times to get it to look right.

7:17 pm

Minski

DONE!!
And can you believe that the last 2 words I found were the ST4/5 and ST5/12? Too much housework and not enough concentration.

7:24 pm

periwinkle

I am missing an aq, I have the plural of the color, what am I missing

7:25 pm

Julie

peri - try latin plural of color

7:26 pm

Jacula

Thanks for that Dr_God (Babble Overlord). Methinks our Jamie must play the same on-line games as my son, LOL!

Any chance of an edit/delete button for our own entries on the message log? Unless, like me, you feel it may be misused by people flashing up words for others and then deleting them.:-(

7:26 pm

periwinkle

Julie, thanks, found it

7:28 pm

Jacula

Lots of new groanworthy jokes in BabAnon - me and Anj have been busy there today.

7:29 pm

Charm

Evening, all.

7:33 pm

Minski

AQ you are missing the color with another vowel on the end.

7:34 pm

periwinkle

I am missing a do5, I have the plural of a type of roof

7:34 pm

sophia

thanks, Dr God

7:34 pm

periwinkle

Nevernind, I already have both do5 words

7:35 pm

Julie

New stats remind me of when a friend and I used to play babble while I was studying for the bar. At the end, we'd figure mean, mode, and median scores. Does that sounds a little anal? LOL

7:35 pm

Jacula

Evening Charm.

7:35 pm

Charm

do5 - similar to your roof type, but an adj. - different ending.

7:36 pm

Charm

Hi, Jacula. What's going on today? Seems slow!

7:37 pm

Jacula

Julie - Anal? No. Just a bit geeky. LOL.

7:37 pm

Jacula

Only just arrived again Charm. Doesn't seem slow to me.

7:39 pm

Charm

Maybe just perspective, Jacula. Just now sitting down - cooked the entire day for company (flan, pound cake, banana bread, lamb curry, and on and on and on. I guess after all that busyness, sitting still seems slow!

7:40 pm

periwinkle

missing an or4, I have the mouth one

7:41 pm

Jacula

Charm - probably. Mind you, speed of site depends on if you're on broadband or dial-up and also IE is slower than Firefox.

7:42 pm

Minski

OR4
Take the OR4 you have, remove the last letter and double the consonant.

7:42 pm

Charm

You're probably right, Jacula. I just figured there were a lot of people playing today.

7:42 pm

Jacula

Periwinkle - your missing or4 is an acronym. Sounds like the type of film 'Hammer' make.

7:44 pm

Smeltzdog

Things are slow for the Smeltzdog too.

Dr. God - thanks for continually improving this site. It's great!

Is anyone going to join me in the cuzzi?

7:45 pm

Minski

I'm in Smeltzy. What's in it tonight?

7:46 pm

Jacula

Do you both mean it's slow when trying to input words or that the chatlog is slow? The inputting words thing (which I can't now do, since I got 'em all much earlier today) is sometimes caused by typing words in too fast.

7:47 pm

groovygranny

back !!! have 7 let yeah !!!

7:47 pm

Charm

Jacula, yes, I've noticed that there IS such a thing as typing too fast! But today, I kinda meant the chat log seems slow to load.

7:47 pm

Jacula

What 7 words to you need, GG?

7:47 pm

Smeltzdog

since its so cold. I built a heated bridge from the house to the cuzzi. I don't want anyone to get cold tootsies on their way out!

I went with 105 degree water this evening...unless you have a better idea?!?

7:48 pm

ohromujici

Hi everyone. *splash*

7:48 pm

periwinkle

Thanks, found the or4

7:48 pm

Minski

I was thinking maybe hot spiced cider.

7:49 pm

Jacula

Ah! One of you is in Florida (where it's cold??) and the other in Indiana... Temperature and weather conditions (heavy rain and/or winds) can affect internet connections.

7:50 pm

Jacula

Minski - good idea! Or mulled wine.

7:50 pm

Smeltzdog

That's a great idea min!

*pulls plug on water...dumps 843 gallons of freshly squeezed cider*

7:51 pm

Jacula

Hello 'juicy' person whose name I cannot spell unless I C&p it into log. LOL. Don't splash so much, you just diluted my red wine!:-)

7:51 pm

Smeltzdog

Everything has gotten faster again. I'm up to speed now!

Smeltzdog

*wave of delicious cider destroys the top of the dog's hogie bun*

7:52 pm

Jacula

Smeltdog! STOP! Cider's acidic. It might not do our 'bits' any good to be bubbling around in that.:-/

7:53 pm

groovygranny

7:53 pm

Jacula

BHell! Now Minkski's diluted my red wine even further.

7:54 pm

Tempting to stay though, that hot cider sure feels good ***mmmmmmmmmmmmmm**

7:54 pm

Charm

so4/4 - more than 1 drunkard.

7:54 pm

Smeltzdog

when mamabear's in the cuzzi she uses a sippy cup. I think it would serve you well to do it to.

what should we use in here that won't eat my flesh?

7:55 pm

Charm

hot chocolate in the cuzzi....

7:55 pm

Jacula

By Minski. Enjoy the progs. (ER's not been the same since Clooney left.:-()

7:55 pm

Smeltzdog

Smeltzdog

7:56 pm

groovygranny

7:56 pm

groovygranny

Semltz for thanksgiving you could do some egg nog ?

7:56 pm

Smeltzdog

7:56 pm

7:57 pm

Smeltzdog

GG - who's "semitz"

7:58 pm

Jacula

If anyone wants or asks, I will soon be putting Christmas recipes for all sorts in BabAnon - sauces, drinks, puddings, vegs., etc. Ask, and I will try to oblige. Ask over there though, not here.

7:58 pm

groovygranny

im sorry it was the wine ..yeah blame it on the wine

7:58 pm

8:34 pm

mamabear

You are in NY, ohro? Well you certainly know COLD then. I love the seasons - don't mind the snow even, but it's the bitter cold that bothers me. If I could stay inside that would be fine, but going to work in the morning is no fun when you're shivering out of your boots!

mamabear

GW - You sure it was me? I usually remember a spanking - especially near a jacuzzi!! LOL

10:08 pm

torgone

That also gives you three other words, mab.

10:08 pm

mamabear

that's ok groovy - *bear hug*

10:09 pm

groovygranny

Mama you got Smeltzie in trouble with the Mrs. huh? what did you do???

10:09 pm

groovygranny

((( Mama )) right back at you !!!

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Yes MAMA, it was you -- I have proof...

10:10 pm

lapineneuve

does anyone have a hint for os 4/4?

10:10 pm

mamabear

groovy - were you around when he said he was going in the hot chocolate filled jacuzzi covered in whipped cream?

10:10 pm

mab

I have only one word left, Torgone, but don't know which. Will keep that in mind however.

10:10 pm

groovygranny

yup I read that . I thought that was funny

10:10 pm

mamabear

Proof???????? I want the negatives!!

10:11 pm

mab

os4 double the cons. add vowel at end.

10:11 pm

mamabear

mab - flip to stats - it will show you which one you are missing (in case you didn't already know)

10:11 pm

GreyWoulf

I'll send them to you, MAMA

10:12 pm

groovygranny

I had to look at the stats 3 x's and go back to figure it out ......

10:12 pm

groovygranny

along with new bifocals I hope lol I hate these ones

10:12 pm

groovygranny

Mama that made hsi wife upset???

10:13 pm

mamabear

Yeah, well I was just logging on when I read that and I said what's up that he promised to keep the whipped cream for when I was in the jacuzzi. She did not think it was funny..... it was all meant in babble fun - but she did not agree I guess... but before he left he slapped me in the face with a fish so I guess we're cool

10:13 pm

JeeWhiz

And don't forget Mama, that bears like fish in their faces.

10:14 pm

torgone

There seem to be a few who don't get the idea of babble fun...

10:14 pm

sophia

thanks to all those people helping out by giving tips!

10:14 pm

groovygranny

oh man thats too much ... she would hate me then lol I always tell hubby .. Hey there's one for you , check it out !!! he does the same to me ......... all in fun

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Some people are sensitive about things like that, MAMA -- to them it strikes too close to what they consider to be private intimate information

10:15 pm

groovygranny

life is too short to be soo uptight about the small things in life right? that's how I think of it

10:15 pm

mamabear

Groovy - check my post t 8:09 and thereabouts for the scoop

10:15 pm

JeeWhiz

Any clues for that la8?

10:16 pm

GreyWoulf

JW - Narnia landmark

10:16 pm

groovygranny

I went back and found it ........ no big deal jeez

10:16 pm

mamabear

Well I didn't mean any harm... I guess I'll just have to bear-have myself in the future... so unlike me.... might break out in a rash.
GW - what proof?

10:16 pm

mab

So easy JW - just look at your la4 light and follow...

10:16 pm

JeeWhiz

Never mind, it just popped into my head...like a bright light going off.

10:17 pm

groovygranny

JW that was cute lol

10:17 pm

mamabear

groovy - my philosophy too - I think life is too short to take it that seriously! Live, Love, Laugh....

10:18 pm

groovygranny

mama i've gone online before to the personals . I told hubby look I found 3 for you .. which one should I email ?? he just laughs at me

10:18 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA - it's all in the log, not to mention Kirsten was next to me reading it at the time

10:18 pm

mamabear

GW - I understand what you are saying about the private intimate info stuff. But, hey the guy dresses in a bun, what can I say?

10:19 pm

mamabear

Oh geez. did I get YOU in trouble too? Maybe I should ban myself from the chatlog... what day was it, can I go back and read it?

10:20 pm

GreyWoulf

groovy - I like your attitude - Kirsten and I are the same way -- It's fine to look and appreciate, after all, why else do we have eyes --- just always remember that you have made a promise to each other and everything else is all good

10:20 pm

groovygranny

I can't tell you how many guy friends I've had all the years we've been married. Marcus was my best friend for years when the kids were little ....... hubby would call from work and Marcus would be at the house .. he's didn't care ........ it's called trust

10:21 pm

groovygranny

Grey I've known Steve since we were 13 yrs old and married 25 yrs now ........ im not worried

10:22 pm

GreyWoulf

MAMA -- If I were in trouble, I wouldn't have said anything

10:22 pm

torgone

I don't think it even goes that deep - some people take the chat log flirting, and themselves, a little too seriously ..

10:22 pm

mamabear

not to mention the fact that we are all a gazillion miles away from each other and only know our "screen names" ..... I agree with you, too granny. There is no reason why men and women cannot be friends... I told Mrs. Dog that our relationship was purely PLUTOnic!!!

10:23 pm

sophia

i'm enjoying reading all the stuff about great marriage relationships.. at least that's encouraging for single people! =)

10:23 pm

groovygranny

Exactly Tor !

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

Congratulations on having such a strong relationship, groovy -- yours is one for the books, all the more precious for its rarity these days :)

10:23 pm

groovygranny

awwwww Sophia I always say that there is some for everyone and everyone deserves to be happy

10:24 pm

groovygranny

thanks Grey .. Steve always says that im his other half .. we balance each other out

10:25 pm

mamabear

groovy - good for you! You are right - everyone deserves to be happy.

10:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Torgone - you have hit the nail on the head
some people just can't separate the fantasy on the screen from the reality in their living room

10:25 pm

sophia

that's a good way to think about it! i'd like to think i, too, deserve to be happy! *hugs*

10:25 pm

artlady

Hi all!

10:25 pm

torgone

I have a tremendous relationship with my wife; I haven't seen the beyotch for five years, and don't intend to ever again!

10:25 pm

JoyLee

how many words are in the puzzle tonight?

10:25 pm

mamabear

hi artlady! how are you this evening?

10:26 pm

mamabear

123 JoyLee

10:26 pm

groovygranny

Sophia you do ! I think so !! when you met that person you will just know it ... I did and I was 13. I can remember being 15 and thinking , this is the one for me !

10:26 pm

GreyWoulf

sophia - the key is to truly accept and BELIEVE that you deserve to be happy -- merely thinking it allows doubt to creep in and ruin the moment

10:26 pm

artlady

Just got home from Italian class, made a Greek dip for tomorrow (no, Tor, don't go there), time for a quickie...puzzle, that is.

10:26 pm

sophia

Mr. grey and tor: have you ever considered that some people are gullible and naive? sadly, some do fall victim to deceit =(

10:26 pm

mamabear

LOL torgone!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one in THAT category... or soon to be hopefully...

10:27 pm

artlady

How about all of youse???

10:27 pm

torgone

Yum! Greek dip; Let's see . . .yogurt, dill... what else?

10:27 pm

groovygranny

awwwwww Tor , Mama im sorry ........ and Sophia that is soo true. A friend of mine met this guy on aol , sweet talker , met him , got engaged to him even

10:28 pm

JeeWhiz

he5 anyone? It's my last one....

10:28 pm

sophia

mr.grey: then i BELIEVE that i deserve to be happy =D

10:28 pm

artlady

feta, lemon, Greek olive oil....and pita chips.

10:29 pm

groovygranny

he had told everyone his wife died in a car accident ......... well we came to find out she was alive and well living in the same house with him !!! I have been mad at Steve before hundredes of times but I have never told anyone he's dead !! I don't know how someone could do that to people

10:29 pm

GreyWoulf

sophia - just call me woulf or GW, all my friends do -- mister makes me feel older than I am :)

10:29 pm

torgone

sophia - True. Some people are manipulated and used, and don't know it, sometimes for a long time ..

10:29 pm

artlady

Hear hear, groovy!

10:29 pm

groovygranny

which one JW?

10:30 pm

mamabear

right Tor, and then it is very hard to trust again

10:30 pm

groovygranny

Artlady !! hi hon ! good to see you =)

10:30 pm

JeeWhiz

he 5/16

10:30 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi artlady!

10:31 pm

mamabear

Sooooo. artlady.... "greek dip".... would that be a jacuzzi filled with that sauce you put on a gyro sandwich?????

10:31 pm

artlady

he 5/16, plural of the he 4/7.

10:31 pm

groovygranny

you can make clothes out of it but it won't make you high ........

10:31 pm

torgone

That sounds really good, artlady!

10:31 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks Artlady. That must not be the one that I need...I'll get back to ya...thanks for trying.

10:31 pm

groovygranny

ganja threads ?

10:32 pm

artlady

Mmmm, sounds good. But no. We have a book club tomorrow eve, discussing Middlesex, which is very Greek.

10:32 pm

mamabear

I've gotta call it a nite, fellow babbler friends! Thanks for the chat... sleep well all and sweeeettt dreeeemmmmzzzz. hope to "see" you again tomorrow!
*bear hugs to all*

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Ye gods! I have spent so much time chatting, I still have 27 words to go!!!

10:33 pm

torgone

Well, at least you're not discussing Middle age sex.

10:33 pm

sophia

groovy: i can't understand that either.
Woulf: i was just trying to be polite :)
Tor: so you agree that there are people who do take their lives online seriously and it's not really their fault if others make light of it?

10:33 pm

Charm

Hello again, all.

10:33 pm

groovygranny

JW sounds like temps .... take out the T

10:33 pm

JeeWhiz

Okay, it is really the he5/14. I promise it is the right one this time.

10:33 pm

GreyWoulf

G'Nite MAMA, SLeep Well, Sleep Tight
(((*BIG HUG*)))

10:34 pm

mamabear

Torgone - I see how it goes - as soon as I say good nite, you change the topic to something interesting!! LOL

10:34 pm

mamabear

Hi Charm! Bye Charm!

10:34 pm

JeeWhiz

Sleep well mama bear...

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Hiya, Charm!

10:34 pm

sophia

g'night mamabear!

10:35 pm

artlady

"night Mama. Sleep tight.

10:35 pm

Charm

he5/14 - adj. "Of or relating to the blood or blood vessels." what you do to a too-long skirt + ** jazeera news.

10:35 pm

groovygranny

nite Mama .......... JW im thnking for ya

10:35 pm

Charm

Nite, mamabear - see ya tomorra....
Hey! GreyWoulf.

10:36 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks Charm and Groovy! You got me through that!

10:36 pm

artlady

Ok, that was really creepy. A spider just slowly dropped down right in front of my face as I was typing.... ugh.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

I hate when they do that!

10:36 pm

pthomp

help on the 3rd Q word?? got the QUA5 drink and the QUA amount

10:36 pm

groovygranny

ewwwwwww Artlady !!! I don't mind them from a distance !

10:36 pm

torgone

sophia - What I'm saying is that some people take things like chat log flirting too seriously, and imagine themselves more important to the other people online than they really are. There are valid things that people do online that are important and meaningful and real. pretending to give someone on the Babble chat log a back rub is not one of them.

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

It's almost as if they know exactly how disconcerting it is

10:37 pm

groovygranny

JW are you all finished now?

10:37 pm

mab

Oh dear it is he5 I am missing == have the pl of the one one might smoke, the one that breaks when saddened. Have monkeyed all I can. Clue if anyone's still out there?

10:38 pm

torgone

Sorry Mama! Chat log lag! G'nite!

10:38 pm

sophia

tor: LOL that's a good one!

10:38 pm

groovygranny

mab which one? 5 what

10:40 pm

torgone

mab - remove "a" from the ha6 you got a little while ago.

10:40 pm

mab

'night mamabear!

I thought, Torgone, your massage vignette was great. I didn't give it a close reading, but it seemed like amusing role play to me. Did someone not like it?

10:40 pm

sophia

i feel that i could never finish a puzzle... =(

10:41 pm

Charm

3rd qu - "A thin, sour beer, made by pouring warm water on rye or barley meal and letting it ferment, -- much used by the Russians."

10:41 pm

artlady

Tor, the line between reality and virtual reality is confusing for some...

10:41 pm

groovygranny

ummmmmmm not a she but a _ + where you might go shopping minus a L at the end ( big place where there are many many stores like sears, jc penny's )

10:42 pm

GreyWoulf

sophia - how many do you have left? I have 24 to go and dwindling... but we are all here to help you if you need
All you have to do is ask :)

10:42 pm

pthomp

10:42 pm

sophia

charm: thanks for the beer tip

10:42 pm

groovygranny

sophia I finished .... first time since i started playing ....... If I can do it so can you

10:43 pm

torgone

That's the gist of it, artlady.

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

1st time, groovy -- Congrats!!
(*hug*)

10:43 pm

Charm

2nd qu - liquid measure + vowel.

10:44 pm

mab

Thanks Torgone. Such a useful word, that ha. At least in this puzzle.

I'm finished if anyone would like a clue.

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

How about a clue for the sm7, please?

10:44 pm

artlady

Yay, Groovy! Good job!

10:44 pm

sophia

granny:i've been playing since mid this year and i can't seem to get close to finishing
Woulf: around 40 to go --- give or take *sheepish*

10:44 pm

Charm

sm7 - pl of sm6/21.

10:44 pm

groovygranny

ArtLady you are soo right about that ....... thats why I like the babble people . Most of us are not teenagers ( Mi excluded ) < love her shes awesome > we seem to have alot in common with each .. it's more adult ? I don't know if i said that right

10:45 pm

pthomp

thx charm

10:45 pm

groovygranny

TY ArtLady ........ I love your icon , it always makes me smile !

artlady

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Yeah, I know-- I tend to run babble in two windows - one to hunt for words and the other for chatting :D

10:49 pm

torgone

Sweet artistic dreams, artlady!

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

Rest well, artlady, g'nite

10:53 pm

groovygranny

10:54 pm

renfield

Yaâ€™ll are all so veracious verbivorous I just chuckle and wish I could type a little faster 8-)

10:54 pm

torgone

The heque??

10:55 pm

torgone

G'nite groovgran!

10:55 pm

mab

In that case, you are significantly younger than me. Which is good.

10:56 pm

torgone

Is everyone else seeing five of each post???

10:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Tor - refresh - I had the same prob a few minutes ago

10:57 pm

mab

I think, Torgone, you are takig too many of whatever you are taking.

10:57 pm

Griffums

woof

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Griffums! You're early tonight..

10:58 pm

mab

Woof to you too Griff. (don't know what orchids say)

10:58 pm

torgone

That was weird. Drugs would have been a viable explanation, had I taken any . .

10:59 pm

Griffums

Well, I wondered why you were here. But then I wonder why I'm here, I finished last night but here I am, 62 minutes 10 sec sooner than I need to be not that I'm counting...

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

I'm actually still not finished, Griff :D
20 to go, and too busy chatting

11:00 pm

mab

Strictly for medical reason, of course, torgone. Since you've been unwell. Chicken soup can have the same effect when consumed in copious amounts. -- so they say.... I've never...

11:00 pm

Griffums

Oh! ;D

11:01 pm

torgone

Orchids say this: "Look at me. Enjoy. Appreciate my perfection. I'll be gone soon."

11:01 pm

GreyWoulf

help with the ra5/12 ?

11:02 pm

Charm

ra5/12 - "British writer whose romantic novels include Under Two Flags (1867)."
male sheep + 2 vowels.

11:02 pm

Griffums

GW - it's like the cheap noodle soup but change the last letter

11:03 pm

Griffums

(hmmm - how beautifully illustrated that she is Charm and I am a dog...) :D

11:04 pm

mab

Do hope that's not a hint. I love orchids for their utter otherworldliness. They are so blatantly sensuous. (and erotically suggestive)

PowerPlant please just come say hello, you needn't stay long.

11:05 pm

sophia

charm: another tip that worked for me! thanks!
Woulf: use charm's tip! :)

11:06 pm

GreyWoulf

Then what's the ra 6/21 ? It's obviously not the plural

11:07 pm

torgone

That's a much more eloquent expression along the lines of what I was trying to say, in my clumsy way, mab.

11:07 pm

Griffums

No, it's not a plural, it's another stupidhead word, so I will let SOMEONE ELSE give you a clue. :)

11:08 pm

GreyWoulf

LOL, Griff!

11:08 pm

torgone

ra6 = "Having many branches."

11:09 pm

mab

Your male sheep plus what small children call Cheerios. end with e.

11:09 pm

Tbug

ra 6 ra + bullwinkle minus a vowel

11:10 pm

Griffums

Tbug wins!

11:11 pm

GreyWoulf

I typed that twice earlier, I really did! -- and I got the big raspberry both times

11:11 pm

Tbug

woo hoo!!!
*wonders why she won???*

11:12 pm

mab

Yep. TBug, your's was the best clue.

11:12 pm

Griffums

(just because I've decided to be the bestower of prizes instead of the giver of clues - also because I live in Bullwinkle country)

11:13 pm

Tbug

ahhh, just came on for a few, i see... competition tonite eh? :) i actually finished this one, doesnt happen often, any other clues needed??

11:13 pm

mab

Be back at the witching hour.

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Cangrats of finishing, Tbug! 13 to go

11:14 pm

GreyWoulf

See ya later, mab

11:14 pm

torgone

I'll try to be here mab.

11:14 pm

Tbug

you can do it, what do ya need grey?

11:15 pm

Griffums

Stuck anywhere else GW? You can have me for 5 more min if it helps. Also for clues.

11:16 pm

GreyWoulf

H's and M's - figuring out which right now

sophia - how are you doing?

11:17 pm

GreyWoulf

1st ha4/6
first 2 ha5/16s

11:18 pm

sophia

woulf: i just got the bullwinkle word LOL... i had to think that one over cuz I didn't get it at first! =D

11:18 pm

Tbug

ha 4/ 6 - pig meat + vowel

11:19 pm

GreyWoulf

got that one already

11:19 pm

Griffums

GW - rearrange the letters of that one to get the first one

11:19 pm

Tbug

oops nix that
ha + last two letters of word meaning to shorten (sew)

11:19 pm

Griffums

(it's a blood relative)

11:19 pm

torgone

Switch the last 2 letters

11:20 pm

GreyWoulf

another one that got bounced earlier

11:21 pm

Griffums

Your first 5/14 (there aren't any 5/16s) is a plural of that 4/6

11:21 pm

JBsAnno

Help, please! with the last qu 5/16 AND the squ 8/60?
Many thanks in advance!

11:21 pm

sophia

got that one! thanks tor and tbug!

11:21 pm

Griffums

JB your Q has a donkey attached

11:22 pm

Tbug

qu 5/16 sounds like something you mow

11:23 pm

Tbug

squ - starts with same four letters as other squ words, add bullwinkle minus a vowel

11:23 pm

JBsAnno

Getting a lot of mileage out of Rocky's pal, eh, Tbug?
It's a great clue!

11:24 pm

JBsAnno

Thanks, got the qu..mowed. Qworking on the sq...

11:24 pm

Tbug

lol yuppers, someone was using it earlier... cant take the credit :)

11:24 pm

torgone

Somebody ask for the la8/55 clue..
Somebody ...
Anybody ...
Buehler .. .

11:24 pm

sophia

tbug: that sq word tip was great. thanks!

11:25 pm

GreyWoulf

last ha needed is the 2nd 5/14

11:25 pm

Tbug

ur very welcome!

11:25 pm

Griffums

GW - sounds like the last name of figure skater Dorothy

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

Alright - 9 M's to go!

11:26 pm

Griffums

Mmmmmmmm!

11:26 pm

JBsAnno

Torgone, I see that hand!
Help with the la 8/55, please?

11:26 pm

Tbug

or... keeping with my animal theme, last letters of humped creature

11:27 pm

sophia

tor: when you mentioned about the la 8/55 word, i found it .. thanks!

11:28 pm

Not bad, Dianne -- working on my last 3 right now - all m's

11:31 pm

JBsAnno

By the way, I saw that done on Halloween by a *very* happy cross-dresser in Philly at 12th and Locust. S/he almost got swiped by a taxi!

11:31 pm

Dianne - I only spent a few days in HK several years ago, but I really enjoyed it. What a cosmopolitan place! So much to see and do. I could live in such a place.

11:44 pm

JBsAnno

Shh, Tbug! We're going to celebrate this weekend (whee) and THAT will bring pleasant dreams!
Stay warm, GrWoulf, we're shivering in Philly tonight!

11:46 pm

Dianne

Hong Kong is a great place - just a bit crowded and a very expensive place to live. I love the people and the pace of life here.

11:46 pm

GreyWoulf

Congrats on the anniv, JB
