12:29 am

DarleenMB

I've been using Paypal since before it was paypal. NEVER have had a problem.

12:30 am

cybernan

Pretty accurate guess, Smeltzdog!

12:32 am

12:34 am

DarleenMB

tegrenath

12:34 am

zubie

12:37 am

zubie

12:41 am

Schroeder

12:42 am

cybernan

Nite, Babbler

12:42 am

zubie

Going already, Babbler? :o

12:42 am

Babbler

I didn't sleep..... thought I may as well copy todya's grid and take it back to bed...... : (

12:43 am

Niamh

that's a sure way to stay up all nite babbler!

12:44 am

Schroeder

I made my husband link my laptop to the wireless satelite so I can be cozy in bed and babble at the same time Yeah!!!

12:48 am

Griffums

hi everybody

12:48 am

Niamh

hello Griffums

12:49 am

Schroeder

Hi Griff!!!

12:51 am

Cheesenips

i have agita, but it doesn't count!?!

12:53 am

jenwould

how are ya Grif?

12:53 am

Griffums

Doing okay. Killer work week. Home in pink fuzzy jammies to go to bed early to get to work VERY early. Stopped by computer desk. End of story......

12:55 am

jenwould

Ok, so looks like you're with us for the duration then... right Grif?

12:55 am

Griffums

An hour or so anyway. But I was kind of hoping to find it was like a 14 word grid...

12:57 am

jenwould

yeah 14 words and 14,000 points.. sweet!

12:58 am

mab

I'm sure you will dispose of it with your usual dispatch, Griff.

I read you today. You write well and deep. Really good.

12:58 am

Griffums

I'm assuming there is programming that doesn't let this happen but have there been any grids that didn't have any words? Like "Go home, come back tomorrow"?

12:58 am

Griffums

Well and deep are two words that go together. I often feel I'm at the bottom of one!

12:58 am

jenwould

hey Grif, speaking of dumb questions (right?)... when is it pretty autumn there? Or better yet, when is Alaska its most beautiful?

12:59 am

mab

I like that about you. Can relate.

1:00 am

Griffums

We don't have a true four-season year in this part of AK - spring is often over in a few days. My personal favorite is what passes for autumn. But since we are over such a large land area (1/5 the continental US) there are many different options to choose from!

1:02 am

jenwould

have you had the opportunity to visit much of your state? At least that which is accessible?

1:02 am

zubie

100 and I'm breaking down. Going to check the list pretty soon.

1:03 am

Griffums

Yes. First visited here as a child coming up the inside passage so have been all through Southeast. Lived here in southcentral and traveled wherever you can get by road. Worked in the oilpatch so have been in the arctic too. Have not been in western AK though or the Aleutians.

1:03 am

Cheesenips

zubie only 76 here--- list not up yet

1:04 am

Niamh

I checked the list... I know I'm lame, hey but at least I'm not a liar... anyway, it's not up yet (or at least it wasn't about 15 min ago)

1:04 am

jenwould

Grif, do you think you'll stay there? In Alaska?

1:04 am

zubie

No list, Cheesenips? :( Ok -then I'll have to struggle for a while longer. I'm enjoying not having a list, though. But it's getting tough now. Staring at the grid and getting nothing.

1:04 am

mab

Griff: did you read TC Boyle's 'Drop City?'

1:05 am

Griffums

Well, it's been 25 years so I'm thinking yeah... It's the only place I can breathe.

1:06 am

Griffums

No, mab, I haven't. Have read precious little this last year - seems like I am the jump ring in multiple chains so always have a lot going on. Tell me about it (email if it's too long to discuss)

1:06 am

Cheesenips

zubie my agita keeps growing and i don't get any points for it... gotta go home to joisey i guess for dat

1:06 am

tegrenath

it's times like this that i wish i had a pro account. :/

1:06 am

jenwould

that's great Grif. It's wonderful when you can find a place you are happy.

1:07 am

mab

What is an agita, Cheesenips?

1:07 am

TL

Hi griffums- just had to say hi to a fellow Alaskan.

1:07 am

Griffums

Hey TL - where are ya?

1:08 am

zubie

Agita, Cheesenips?

1:08 am

TL

About 200 miles south of Anchorage

1:08 am

Griffums

(honestly, if I type GHOST one more time...)

1:09 am

Griffums

Kenai?

1:09 am

Cheesenips

mab if you was from joisey, you would know that agita is what youse gets when youse is frustrated by things-- a state of heightened irritation, annoyance and fear, leading to violence.. see The Sopranos series

1:09 am

TL

farther south

1:09 am

zubie

Hehe, Griff - I keep seeing the ghost, too! This grid must be haunted by ghosts with saxophones! :D

1:10 am

Griffums

Okay, if you don't want to tell me I'll stop guessing but there's only so far you can go without falling off, so I have the idea anyway. :)

1:10 am

TL

Also called the halibut fishing capital

1:11 am

Griffums

Home sweet Homer!

1:11 am

TL

Yeah!

1:11 am

cybernan

How many hours of daylight are you getting now, Griff?

1:11 am

mab

TL, that's very funny! Actually don't do tv, but planning to see if that series is on dvd. I thought you were trying for Akita, the dog breed!

1:12 am

Griffums

Was just down there this fall, but it was the first time in forever. Seward too. I am in love with both places and won't let it be so long before I visit again.

1:13 am

TL

I've lived here 31 years so far

1:13 am

Griffums

Seven hours and change, mab

1:13 am

mab

Oops, as babble would say; I meant Cheesenips.

1:13 am

Griffums

"so far"...keeping your options open :D

1:14 am

TL

yep, winters seem to get longer every year!

1:14 am

Griffums

Ain't that the truth. November's almost gone without any decent snow and I'm *still* complaining about winter!

1:16 am

mab

Nope, that's cybernan who asked about daylight. I asked if you'd read 'Drop City,' which is set in the early '70s and is about a hippie commune that decides to move to northern Alaska from southern Cal.

1:16 am

Cheesenips

mab i have already watched the first four seasons of sopranos on dvd... hmmm do i like it? ;) i rent dvds of course, i don't own a single one

1:17 am

Griffums

So sorry nan... to make up for it I'll give a better answer: 7 hrs and 14 min to be precise, and tomorrow will be 4 min 56 sec shorter.

1:17 am

Griffums

Hippie commune huh? They'd fit right in where TL lives.

1:18 am

TL

Hey, we're an art community here

1:18 am

mab

Is the Jersey influence from the show, Cheesenips, or are you originally from the lovely tristate area?

1:19 am

Griffums

:))))

1:19 am

Griffums

As they say, how can you keep them down on the farm once they've seen Talkeetna?

1:20 am

cybernan

I've broken 100, haven't found a word for a while, Brandyjack's list isn't posted yet and I'm tired -- you all know what that means -- a demain!

1:20 am

Cheesenips

mab, New Jersey is my beauttifull home state! And I even admit it, when pressed! Best part: outstanding wide beaches, Long Beach Island and Wildwood

1:21 am

TL

There was the bare foot tribe headed by brother Isiah so I guess we do have our share of strange people

1:21 am

Griffums

Wow, I've barely broken 40, more like tickled it.

1:22 am

mab

Griff, I haven't read a lot of Boyle, but this book wasn't a bad read. A bit more than half of the action takes place in Alaska, where these people think they are going to live off the fat of the land.

1:22 am

raolen

this might be very ignorant, but are the any words that start with x(no list yet)

1:22 am

tegrenath

any Xs at all here?

1:22 am

tegrenath

i totally wondered that question before raolen

1:23 am

Griffums

No X's... Mab I'll have to check that out. Always interesting to see how those stories play out against reality.

1:23 am

tegrenath

plus raolen needs a haircut

1:23 am

Munner

Are there any words that even contain the x?

1:23 am

tegrenath

none at all or none that start with it?

1:24 am

Griffums

I've got one so far that contains the X but then I have only 40 words........

1:24 am

Munner

Couldn't get to sleep tonight so decided to start Babble early. Miss Brandyjack's stats.

1:25 am

mab

Yes, Cheese, there is some posh real estate, a fact which is often overlooked due to Hoboken, etc. Frank Sinatra was from Hoboken.

1:26 am

Munner

Just monkeytyped a t4/9 with the x.

1:26 am

cybernan

I found one with an x in the middle -- a t4

1:26 am

Blaze

hello everyone I am back what are we doing here again ?? Oh yeah the commaraderie..... I have no cholcolate....please send chocolate.....LOL

1:27 am

mab

Morning Munner. Sometimes they're posted later on. I don't think Brandyjack has missed posting them since he begain at babs anon.

1:27 am

Cheesenips

mab Yes of course the posh area is where i'm from--- where is that exactly?

1:27 am

Griffums

Blaze, I saw a sign today that said "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter..."

1:27 am

cybernan

Good night, everyone!

1:28 am

Griffums

Night nan!

1:28 am

tbear

Morning Babblers across the pond......puzzle seems reasonable today.... :)

1:28 am

Blaze

griff I usually don't have a problem but tonite I'd eat the tires off my car if someone told me they were chocolate....LOL

1:28 am

Griffums

Hey tbear

1:28 am

mab

I've heard....Never seen it, but know it's there. Like China.

1:29 am

Griffums

Mmmmmm!

1:29 am

Munner

Hi, Blaze...here are some leftover Butterfinger snack size from Halloween--still tasty!

1:29 am

Blaze

Munner thank you...

1:30 am

cybernan

What kind would you like Blaze -- have 5 lb. in the fridge -- my share of the chocolate making session last weekend.

1:30 am

Munner

I munched on some while I was finishing a book. could that be why I'm not sleepy???

1:30 am

tbear

Hey Griffums......Blaze.....ummmmm morning,she says clutching her bowl of chocolate flavoured cereal.....

1:30 am

Blaze

cybernan.... if not for the snow I would leave in the minute.....LOL

1:31 am

Cheesenips

mab ur2much--- posh area would be where jackie o used to ride to hounds-- northwest part of state--

1:32 am

cybernan

Guess they got a lot up top today -- it was coming down so thick this moring, I couldn't see the other side of the lake! -- gone by 2:00 pm, though.

1:32 am

tbear

can already tell that that ING is going to annoy me...

1:32 am

Blaze

cybernan snow is pretty to look at but not so nice to drive in....LOL

1:33 am

Cheesenips

aing doesn't work, for example

1:34 am

mab

Try adding an easterly letter.

1:34 am

tbear

Really....Cheesenips... :)

1:35 am

Cheesenips

killed the i's!!! (minor triumph but i'll take what i can get!!)

1:35 am

cybernan

110 words -- off to bed -- for sure this time!

1:36 am

mab

The i's were almost dead before we got here. Not to diminish your achievement...

1:37 am

mab

Night nan. Go on...go to bed...go..

1:37 am

Cheesenips

my achievement will go up on my wall right next to my spelling strips

1:37 am

tbear

Cheesenips... be nice to your 'i' s,you never know when you might need 'em

1:38 am

mab

Here, here.

1:38 am

tbear

mab...is that some kind of orchid...(rummaging for glasses)

1:38 am

Cheesenips

uright tb

1:41 am

mab

T'is. I'm a little fanatical about orchids. This one is native to the northeastern US (and undoubtedly a good part of Canada).

1:42 am

tegrenath

does anyone have any generic clues? no list up yet, but i'm struggling at around 80 words

1:43 am

Cheesenips

ok teg--- h 5/16--- kind of a tepee or an Irish DA

1:44 am

Griffums

Now my ghosts are eating Fritos (which messes up their saxophones)

1:44 am

mab

There are 30 S words and 14 G words. Does that help?

1:44 am

tbear

Mab....love orchids too, plus lots of other things...I studied horticulture,when my girls were small. In Menorca (Balerearics) they have a tiny wild orchid that flowers in May all over...it's exquisite :)

1:44 am

Blaze

abd dib't fiorget the guitar.....LOL any fish yet ?? the horse food is here of cours....

1:45 am

zubie

Lol Griffums. My ghosts with saxophones keep swallowing toxins. Perhaps the toxins are in the fritos?

1:45 am

Blaze

and --- putting your fingers on the right keys....

1:46 am

Griffums

I haven't seen a fish yet. Yesterday's was a zoo veritable.

1:48 am

Cheesenips

hiney

1:48 am

mab

By the way, Cheesenips, I have to admit that I tried 'efing,' but no go.

1:48 am

ruffh2o

any hints on the 8 letter?

1:49 am

Munner

plural of fi 7/52

1:49 am

mab

There is one. That would be my greatest insight at this moment.

1:49 am

Cheesenips

mab congrats, you're on the wrong track!

1:49 am

Tuva

and THAT would be what?

1:49 am

ruffh2o

guess I need a hint on the fi7, then.

1:51 am

mab

Thanks, Munner.

1:51 am

Munner

ruff, a fish has a dorsal --- + the legend of Big ----

1:52 am

ruffh2o

thanks munner

1:52 am

Munner

de nada

1:52 am

Blaze

That was wonderful.... thank you Munner........ and all

1:53 am

tbear

munner...you morning star you...what a way to start my puzzle...thx ;)

1:56 am

Munner

Aw, shucks...

1:56 am

zubie

I found treasure! *Piratical pose*

1:57 am

mab

Very dashing, zubie!

1:57 am

Griffums

Did X mark the spot?

1:58 am

tegrenath

h 5/16 - quite a hulk

1:58 am

zubie

No, Griffums! :D But I wouldn't 'bar' ;D that it might have!

1:59 am

Cheesenips

152 down, 69 to go--- thanks Munner

1:59 am

Griffums

<hmmmmm......>

2:00 am

zubie

Cheesenips - there are more than 152?? What's the total for this grid?

2:00 am

mab

It must be the 'new' math.

2:01 am

zubie

Any more information about the hulk, tegrenath?

2:01 am

mab

Stop lookinng Cheesenips! You're done.

2:02 am

tegrenath

well, it has nothing to do with the definition of the word... just something to help get it, because i honestly don't know how the word can be used in everyday life.

it's an ho btw.

2:03 am

Griffums

That's funny, tegrenath, bc that clue *did* help me get two words that relate!

2:03 am

Griffums

Oh dear, speaking of lateral thinking, I just noticed the surcharge on prostitutes...

2:04 am

Tuva

why is HENTIA not a valid word?

2:05 am

Blaze

teg --- got it.... and more....

2:05 am

Griffums

Oh! I just got it too, thanks!

2:05 am

tbear

along the horticultural lines ho5 that slugs and snails love

2:06 am

Cheesenips

Correction 84 down 68 to go.. I admit that I wuz WONG!! i mean WRONG!!

2:06 am

mab

Cheesenips just gave a clue, I think. It is an American Indian dwelling or, and this is cheese, "an Irish DA"

2:08 am

Cheesenips

"DA" would mean "District Attorney" for you any slo-mos excluding present company of course

2:09 am

mab

But what does that have to do with the dwelling? And what does hentia mean? Surcharge on prostitutes?

I don't understand anything tonight.

2:10 am

Griffums

Surcharge on prostitutes wasn't a real clue, mab - just a ho tax.

2:11 am

zubie

Help! What letter does the word for the am.indian clue start with?

And help with the hulk, please!

2:11 am

Griffums

They're two clues for the same H word, zubie

2:11 am

Cheesenips

same word, starts with h!

2:11 am

mab

I guess I am running a tad slow tonight. Got it now.

2:12 am

Blaze

Zubie the blondeish wrestle -- bad actor -- action man hulk ho***

2:12 am

Cheesenips

hiney

2:12 am

zubie

Blaze. Got it! And to think that, as a kid, I was a fan! Doh to my brain!

2:12 am

Cheesenips

hiney still doesn't work :(

2:15 am

mab

You seem to enjoy saying it, Cheese, as you're repeated it at least three times now. It's been my experience that if a combination is rejected once, it will be rejected no matter how many times I try to enter it. What is this about an Irish DA? Is that who the hulk was?

2:18 am

Cheesenips

mab i have sworn off hineys forever-- will be forever on the wagon wrt hineys-- thank you

2:18 am

mab

in4, our favorite south american river mammal. Not exactly a fish...

2:20 am

Blaze

Mab no haddock for you.... great find

2:20 am

mab

and another in4 from Peru.

2:20 am

Griffums

Oh, that was my last I too! thanks

2:22 am

Griffums

Trying to get to 100 before I go night-night, where I should have been an hour ago

2:24 am

Munner

Griffums, that was my goal, too. I'm off to try sleeping again.

2:25 am

zubie

110 - [sigh]

2:25 am

Griffums

Bye munner

2:26 am

torgone

Sleep? Who needs sleep??

2:26 am

Griffums

:))) hey torgone!

2:26 am

Blaze

Good nite and goodmorning

2:26 am

tbear

torgone...you're looking mightychipper....

2:27 am

Griffums

Zubie, my ghosts are eating fritos *and* rigatoni

2:27 am

mab

Torgone, how can you be up after the day you've had. You maybe are overly tired.

2:27 am

torgone

Heya tbear, griff!

2:28 am

tbear

8:05 am

Anj

Baggo, when you've got less than 5000 plays on Last, neighbours are easy to match. It's when you go higher that the fun starts. I've got neighbours, but as far as I know i'm only a neighbour to DDave & Lola. lol...I want to know who i'm corrupting :D

8:05 am

baggo

hurshy think dancing...or horses feet...

8:07 am

8:40 am

ScoutsMom

Good morning, all! On the topic of storms, I'm glad I woke up in Memphis this morning and not in Oz. Hope everyone in the path made it through okay!

8:41 am

Sherry

Hi scoutsmom!

8:41 am

hurshy

scoutsmom - why would you be glad about that? oz would be a much cooler place to live than anywhere else!

8:41 am

baggo

hello scoutsmom!!!

8:41 am

gramma

hello,every1. I love coming on to start when someone is finishing. I feel like there's hope. Good work, hurshy.

8:42 am

Sherry

Hi gramma!

8:42 am

hurshy

glad to have given you hope, gramma! :)

8:42 am

Anj

Overcast with scattered magpies thanx Hurshy :)
How about you??

Hi Scouts :)

8:42 am

ScoutsMom

Hurshy-- Oz may be all colorful and everything, but those flying monkeys freak me out.

8:43 am

gramma

What's the grid like today? Doesn't look too bad.

8:43 am

hurshy

things are ok here. i just need to find some way to stop worrying about one of my students and just relax! my stomach has been haywire for three days.

8:44 am

hurshy

the flying monkeys have since been set free. they were never bad or anything anyway, just under a spelll where they had to grant three wishes to whoever had them.

8:44 am

baggo

hurshy i admire your dedication and your love for your students... that's great to see!!!! don't know what's up but hope all goes well!!

8:45 am

gramma

hurshy, is there anything you can do about this student?

8:45 am

Boysaway

Hello everyone...gramma, that is one cute baby!

8:45 am

hurshy

yeah, i've been helping him a lot but he's very stubborn about not following rules that he doesn't think make sense. he's quite smart and i don't want him to jeopardize his academic future over stupid little things.

8:46 am

hurshy

and thanks, baggo. :)

8:47 am

hurshy

he plays babble, too, and when he ought to be sleeping! it's making me feel guilty for introducing him to the game.

8:47 am

baggo

you're welcome...with kids 12,10, 8 i really admire dedication in teachers...and i can only hope that if there ever is trouble, that they run across a teacher like you...8-)

8:47 am

lola100

Hi boys! Long time, no see :)

8:48 am

gramma

I had 1 like that. Too smart for his own good. He didn't see the need to do the same work as every1 else. He felt he shouldn't have to....he thought it was beneath him

8:48 am

Boysaway

Hi Lola, been working in London a lot with not much chance to play

8:48 am

hurshy

*hurshy looks around*
boys, lola? only boy i see here is anj.

8:48 am

hurshy

oh i get it you meant boysaway.

8:49 am

Atalante

Hurshy, if he's that stubborn he'll jeopardise his academic future at *some* point, with or without your help. I don't mean to sound pessimistic - some people just seem to need to pick at things until they've messed everything up. I've seen people fail their PhDs that way ...

8:49 am

Anj

woot!

8:49 am

hurshy

ignore slow hurshy, please.

8:50 am

Jen

I had a major "feeling old" moment the other day when I was in the scrapbook store... one of the cashiers was a former student of mine! She was in my Special Ed reading class... she was 7th grade but reading at about a 2nd grade level. She started college this fall!!

8:50 am

hurshy

yeah, i just need to be more detached about the whole thing, since i cannot control what he does.

8:50 am

Boysaway

I'm finding this tough..the devil's own puzzle..

8:50 am

Anj

18 to go and I need to go and get a few things. BBL folks :D

8:51 am

baggo

bye anj!!!

8:51 am

lola100

And hi hurshy! lol, sorry for the confusion :)

8:51 am

EvaNadine

YAWN
*tumbles back into the chatlog for a nap*

8:51 am

hurshy

ok, i am going to give everyone a lovely resource that i discovered two days ago. merriam webster has a browse feature on their site, which can be immensely helpful.

8:51 am

Bubbles

bye anj

8:51 am

hurshy

bye anj, hi lola!

8:51 am

lola100

Cheers babe, see you later :) xxx

8:54 am

hurshy

well, thanks for the support all. i should be going to get some housework done. happy babbling!

8:54 am

baggo

bye hurshy!!! things will work out!!

8:55 am

gramma

I'm off to the eye dr. It should make the grid interesting to see when I get back. See ya all later. Babble on!

8:55 am

hurshy

baggo - maybe dr. god has blocked some of the IP addresses - if someone misbehaved in the chat from those computers at some point?

8:55 am

baggo

bye gramma!!

8:56 am

hurshy

don't know how often he has to do that.

8:56 am

hurshy

anyway, bye!

8:57 am

baggo

oh i didn't even think of that...we did have some girls that got rude from there under odd names...that makes total sense...

8:59 am

EvaNadine

When my reply to you came back undelivered, I assumed you had "accidentally" misspelled your return address!

10:21 am

EasternBlue

lotti/lola - you're not? all these weeks I thought you were! (altho reading your bios...it appears that you're not!)
Hi Everyone!

10:28 am

lola100

mollie, think what a fish swims with (3 letters) and what you walk with. Pluralise for the 8 :)

10:30 am

lola100

east, that exactly it! I think lotti and I started calling each other 'sis' as a joke after macadam's offer to adopt me, but it just kinda stuck. She IS my babble sis now! :)

10:30 am

10:58 am

2 things,
1. I'm paranoid now about posting a word in giving a clue

these things haunt me now

11:00 am

Sherry

Thanks davetins!

11:00 am

lola100

smaller, before BJ came up with the lists we used to post our own second letter ones in the log. I did that once but the log jumped and I posted by mistake...with most of the words still in the list. THAT makes you paranoid! :D

11:01 am

lola100

Yay! Thanks sis, will check it out in a minute :)

11:01 am

EasternBlue

Smaller - I believe Brandyjack runs a computer program to 'spit out' the stats...

I'm the same way with typing clues (altho' I'm usually asking!!)

Sherry

I'm stuck with an 5/14 and an 4/4. Help!!

11:11 am

lola100

There are two an4/4, both the same except for different vowel on the end. The an5/14 ends in something that is neither solid or liquid.

11:14 am

ScoutsMom

Really wish we'd get a puzzle with some A's in it.

11:15 am

Lupe613

LOL - scoutsmom

11:15 am

ScoutsMom

And some O's.

11:16 am

Sherry

Right. Got the an 4/4. But are you sure Lola for the an 5/14? an + the nor solid nor liquid in three letters gives five letters alright but only 10 points...and it's 'not valid'...

11:16 am

MaryJo24

Any clues for an 7/36? Please

11:17 am

Tbug

an 5/14 an + what you put in your car

11:17 am

lola100

sherry, do you have all three ag4/6's? It ends with the same last three letters as the middle ag4/6.

11:18 am

Sherry

Thanks Lola and Tbug! It worked!

11:18 am

lola100

Tbug, thank you! Not being american I didn't think of that, we call it petrol of course :)

11:19 am

ScoutsMom

Sherry, check the babble rules: the longer the word, the more the points, so it's 14 points for that 5-letter word.

11:19 am

Tbug

ah, true - ah well, just adds to the challenge of this game! that's why its so fun!! :)

sh 7/32?

12:25 pm

tbug - tried it last night with the same result you got!

12:25 pm

EasternBlue

it will provide a definition (in most cases) for the words.
There are frequently words most humans have never heard of...and we get to them by "monkey typing" (random combos of letters) to come up with the words...

12:25 pm

ScoutsMom

amrcal, you can click on the ? and it'll give you a definition of that word.

Hi Bugzy!

12:29 pm

Bugzy

Fine, thanks, Schroeder, other than the fact that it's SNOWING for the first time this year! Yuk!
Scoutsmom - did any of those twisters hit near you last night? I was watching the Weather Channel ... looked nasty!

12:29 pm

cybernan

ga 5/10: ga4/6 before it + only consonant that adds up to 10

12:29 pm

Sorry that would be add a constanan to the 4/6 above it.

Gaaaah! Thanks...

We haven't had our first snow yet Bugzy, it is suppose to be in the high 60's here today

No, Bugzy, but we thought they might. Sky got all black just as workday was ending and by the time I'd picked Scout up from school it was orange outside...that spells tornado where I come from. But just got lots of wind and a big cold front. 72 degrees yesterday, 40 today.

12:59 pm

tbug, glad that I am not the only one, I am usually so good at getting clues that I read the clues, type the answer and don't even look at the puzzle. This one has me stumped.

12:59 pm

Apparently, it has nothing to do with a turkey (according to the school's website). It's from a cheer some guy named Stull wrote, and I reproduce it here to annoy everyone:
Hoki, Hoki, Hoki, Hy.
Techs, Techs, V.P.I.
Sola-Rex, Sola-Rah.
Polytechs - Vir-gin-ia.
Rae, Ri, V.P.I.

Schroeder

1:15 pm

1:15 pm

Faerie

She cried More, More, More awwwwwh

1:16 pm

shorty

1:16 pm

ScoutsMom

Sadly, not even the IU website can tell us what a Hoosier is. Apparently there is no definition.

1:16 pm

torgone

Exactly, Jen..

1:17 pm

Anj

Howdy Torgone :)

1:17 pm

Bugzy

LOL Schroeder... always wondered why Georgetown wanted to be the "Hanging Plants"!!
A Buckeye, I believe, is a nut.... and being from the "other" Michigan university, I will refrain from any other comments... Other than to say Go Buckeyes :)

1:18 pm

torgone

1:19 pm

Vicuna

A buckeye is a horse chestnut. When you peel off the husk it's a very beautiful rich brown with a white circle, vaguely like the eye of a buck, to the poetically minded.

1:19 pm

shorty

does anybody want to know?

1:19 pm

ScoutsMom

Jen: And still will, since they don't have to change mascots.

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi mrs. smeltz - how are you feeling?

1:20 pm

Jen

When you get approval from the Seminole Nation, it's hard for the NCAA to justify banning it.

1:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

Hi torgone...

1:21 pm

torgone

I'll bet it's something light-hearted and whimsical, shorty!

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

EasternBlue

history of hoosier...akin to "Yankee" for New Englanders...
http://www.stat elib.lib.in.us/www/ihb/emblems /hoosier.html

1:21 pm

harpjane

Culinary lesson:
Five spice is usually made from pepper, cloves, fennel, cinnamon, and anise.
Interestingly, there is also a spice called "all spice" which is NOT made up of a combination. It is a spice in its own right.
I also have "7 spice" which is the five above plus ginger and something else.....

1:21 pm

movieman

Vicuna - we have them over here as well, only we call them 'conkers' and it used to be very popular amongst young children to collect them and use them to play the game of the same name...

1:21 pm

Bugzy

Of course, shorty :)

1:21 pm

EasternBlue

Mrs. Smeltzie - it's nice that you share : )

1:22 pm

Vicuna

Yeah... we just had buckeye fights!

1:22 pm

baggo

hello all...the term hoosier started out as a synomym for new englanders but i like this theory better...When a visitor hailed a pioneer cabin in Indiana or knocked upon its door, the settler would respond, "Who's yere?" And from this frequent response Indiana became the "Who's yere" or Hoosier state. No one ever explained why this was more typical of Indiana than of Illinois or Ohio.

1:22 pm

efor1124

EB - except, of course, in boston - "Yankee" has an entirely different meaning...:o)

1:23 pm

Babbler

2:53 pm

lizmac

Thanks for the tips

2:53 pm

Lottie: my guess is he's at son's bedside, and looking smart for the cute nurses.

2:53 pm

Bugzy

Lizmac - I usually put the stats in 3 or 4 columns in a Word document so they all fit on 1-2 pgs, then print them

5:14 pm

thanks Haz and Kristina!
i swear i tried that one.

5:15 pm

aknitter

in 5/14 -- a measurement for gold

5:15 pm

Haz1558

The in words are normally used to describe large quantities of gold.

5:16 pm

hurshy

incidentally, the first fa5 and 6 were words long before they came to have their current meaning, as you will see if you click on the ?

5:16 pm

Many thanks, Haz. And Hurshy, I always wondered what
the question marks by the words were, but never
thought of clicking on them. It's a revelation and I'm so gglad you told me.

i could swear i saw an eyebrow twitch.

5:20 pm

hurshy

so - no raolen out there, mm? surprising. he hasn't had a chance to babble since the wee hours, and i should think he'd be chomping at the bit...

5:21 pm

hurshy

twitchety twitch

5:21 pm

Haz1558

Maybe he's exhausted!

5:22 pm

hurshy

believe you me, he is never too tired to babble. he's very addicted.

5:22 pm

Haz1558

How long has he been babbling?

5:22 pm

hydra

As Dr God said to Spok when thinking of tomorrow's
fishy clue, 'Bream me up, Scotty!"

5:23 pm

only since this weekend

5:23 pm

hurshy

hmm never heard of a bream, that's a new one!

5:23 pm

Tuva

forty left to go....

5:24 pm

Haz1558

He's probably going through the same addictive phase as the rest of us. You eventually have to have some self-control....

5:24 pm

hurshy

whatcha need, tuva?
i did the whole thing this morning...

5:24 pm

stillcrazy

Is something wrong with the A2Zwordfinder site?

5:24 pm

indeed you do, haz!!! :) but teenagers...may be slower to learn that

cough em up!

5:25 pm

hydra

It's both a freshwater and a sea fish. Never eaten it,
though.

5:25 pm

joelgee

not tuva, but there's an aw6 that is illogical

5:25 pm

hurshy

lol tuva - i just had an actual fit of coughing (getting over a cold) right when i read your post

5:25 pm

kakamolaka

the first sh 5/12 anyone?

5:26 pm

hurshy

joelgee - i don't think it's illogical. i aw5, you aw5, he/she/it aw6

5:27 pm

hurshy

first sh5:

rhymes with what you camp in

5:27 pm

Haz1558

sh - female personal pronoun followed by shortened version of New Testament

5:27 pm

kakamolaka

5:27 pm

joelgee

I'll take that fish now, please.

5:28 pm

Tuva

I have the two LOGICAL AWs.... clue on the other?

5:28 pm

hurshy

*hands joel the Whale Tail*

5:28 pm

hurshy

a bird might be aw5

5:28 pm

joelgee

ahem. since when is a whale a fish? Quite a tale.

5:29 pm

hurshy

look at anj's bio - it isn't my fault!

5:29 pm

Haz1558

a plus bird part

5:30 pm

Tuva

that is not illogical... that is just a word....

got it, thanks!

5:30 pm

aknitter

i need one of the an 4/4's not the against one but the other

5:31 pm

aknitter

what is a plus bird?

5:32 pm

Haz1558

a knitter - just change the vowel ending for the other an 4/4. The 'a' plus bird part - a clue for aw 5 - obviously a pretty poor one!

5:33 pm

hurshy

tuva - it was the aw6 joel thought was illogical - i guess he thought aw5 was a noun? or something.

5:34 pm

aknitter

found the an TY but still do not understand the bird clue

5:34 pm

hurshy

aknitter, they meant "the letter a" plus "part of a bird"

5:35 pm

aknitter

oh good lord now i get it! I am an id 5

5:35 pm

hurshy

why am i calling haz "they"?

5:35 pm

Haz1558

I'll try again. The word begins with a. Add a four letter word (wi 4/10) - the bird reference.

5:35 pm

aknitter

i was thinking (or not) of a plus sized bird!!! i think i must need to diet

5:36 pm

joelgee

multiple personalities?

5:36 pm

hurshy

aknitter - an4 - change last vowel of the one you have

5:36 pm

Haz1558

It's okay, hurshy - there's only one of me!

5:37 pm

hurshy

oh, haz said that already.

5:37 pm

hurshy

apparently joel doesn't think so.

5:38 pm

hydra

Why isn't tanga a word? You can buy them in Marks & Spencer's!

5:38 pm

joelgee

joel isn't here right now. To whom do you wish to speak?

5:39 pm

hurshy

i wish to speak to gee.

Haz1558

A favourite line from Frasier is when Niles excuses himself saying that he is late for an appointment with someone suffering from multiple personality disorder 'and it takes forever to fill out the name cards'

nevermind I finally figured it out....it's all changed now

kakamolaka

fi 7/52 and fi 8/70... any clues?

5:41 pm

hurshy

ok, then what are my options?

5:42 pm

aknitter

fi 7 and 8 is its plural -- it is a weird sort of bird OR the back of a fish + what is at the end of your leg

5:43 pm

k-dawg

does anyone know how many words are in this puzzle?

5:43 pm

kakamolaka

152

5:43 pm

joelgee

the menu has changed. speak or press one to be one with everything. speak or press two to be two with each other. speak or press three to never have to deal with idiot menus like this ever again.

5:43 pm

hurshy

152 words today

5:43 pm

Haz1558

For the f 7 and 8 - prefix fo4/7 with three letters of fi4/7 and then pluralise for the 8. It's a strange word!

5:43 pm

hurshy

3!

5:44 pm

aknitter

ga 5/20 any one?? perhaps if i press 1..

5:44 pm

mab

fi 6, a compound word. a fish's fi* propels it forward, and a person uses her fo** to go forward. Put those two words together and then pluralize.

5:44 pm

hurshy

ga5 - take the prev ga4 and add the most unlikely letter you see to the end of it

5:46 pm

kakamolaka

wow - never heard of that word b4. thanks for the fi clues.

5:48 pm

TL

Anyone else besides me having trouble with the a2z web site?

5:49 pm

Other people have mentioned that there are problems, so it's not just you.

5:49 pm

aknitter

TY hursy, that is a strange word isn't it

5:50 pm

scatty

can i have a clue for an 7/36

5:50 pm

joelgee

the ga5 isn't all that strange if you know a smattering of yiddish. The spelling is a tad odd.

5:51 pm

Haz1558

An - first three letters of heavenly being plus song used in opera.

5:51 pm

aknitter

an 7/36 google this -- The legal right of a belligerent to seize, use, or destroy the property of a neutral, provided that full compensation is made

5:51 pm

hurshy

sounds like actor who played dog walker on mad about you, minus the az

5:51 pm

10:39 pm

Griffums

I have 35 to go. I stayed last night until I got 100.

10:40 pm

Griffums

nava, your 7/36 adds three letters to the an 4/6 preceding it. (not a common word or I'd give you a better clue)

10:41 pm

allstartwithX

need the last ag 4/6 (not the Italian sounding one) and the os 5/10 to finish. clues please?

10:41 pm

nava

then how about a clue for the an 4/6

10:41 pm

Griffums

Yeah, I want those too

10:43 pm

allstartwithX

got the ag 4/6 on my own. you find it in a Petri dish as a growth medium. now just need the os 5/10 to finish

10:44 pm

Griffums

Oh, I had that ag already so I guess I'm missing a different one. Back to hunting.

10:46 pm

allstartwithX

the other ag 4/6 sounds Italian.... a nice casino in Las Vegas ends with these 4 letters. The other ag 4/6... think "Jumpin Jack Flash it's ag**"

10:47 pm

Griffums

Yeah I got 'em all

10:47 pm

(that casino clue is cool tho!)

10:48 pm

11:33 pm

micamonkey

11:33 pm

dlfox

11:34 pm

Tbug

sa 5 same as the 4 before it... add another vowel in the middle

11:35 pm

dlfox

ga5/20 - is another word for theif

11:35 pm

Tbug

need ga 5/20 myself, any clues?

11:35 pm

mab

mica: use your third ga4/6 and add an unlikely consonant.

11:36 pm

mab

It's yiddish for a bad guy if that helps.

11:37 pm

dlfox

ga5/20 sort of rhymes with chef

11:37 pm

Tbug

thanx mab!

11:37 pm

Cheesenips

hey dl: if you were issuing lots of gas, that word wouldn't be allowed either ;)

11:38 pm

micamonkey

argh im not getting it :(

11:38 pm

Cheesenips

i mean that word is not present in this grid-- probably it is allowed actually

11:39 pm

dlfox

I don't get it. Not a regular

11:39 pm

micamonkey

bah ive been adding vowel when its a consonant lol

11:39 pm

micamonkey

11:40 pm

Cheesenips

11:41 pm

micamonkey

the so 5/16, NOT the opposite of hard

11:41 pm

micamonkey

cheese, theres one more so 5*16 no?

11:41 pm

dlfox

the road to sa5/17 is a long saga (just add a vowel)

11:41 pm

11:41 pm

Cheesenips

11:42 pm

Cheesenips

11:43 pm

GreyWoulf

11:43 pm

mab

Opp of hardas.

11:44 pm

micamonkey

11:44 pm

Cheesenips

dl you're right-- my eyesight is failing even faster than my mind

11:44 pm

micamonkey
