12:17 am

micamonkey

12:22 am

Babbler

I know....... that cracked me up too! :D

12:22 am

jenwould

yeah... I've been laughing like crazy... fellow coworkers think I'm nuts... (well to be honest, they were always suspicious of me :-) )...

12:22 am

zubie

tbugs! :o Lol but I'm shocked!

mica - I hardly ever wade through the logs.

Babbler, hi!

12:23 am

micamonkey

zubie: coz u're so good at this! :P

12:23 am

Babbler

zubie, did you just skype me?

12:24 am

zubie

No, mica! Because I try to wade through and then the page refreshes and I have to scroll down all over again! Argh!

12:24 am

zubie

Skype, Babbler? Meaning?

12:26 am

dlfox

you just wanted to join me, right? :) We would tw5/18 and tw5/18 until you cried un5/14

12:26 am

Babbler

hmmmm, skype is a bit like MSN, but fancier (you can make free calls on the internet..... http://www.skype.com/

... I ask because someone just asked to add me to their contact list.... but I don't know who!! Think I'd best decline...

12:27 am

zubie

Well, it obviously wasn't me, babbler! I hadn't even heard of skype!

12:28 am

Babbler

not a bad thing to download, if you wanted to (that's why I sent you the link). Add your friends and save on your phone bill! ebay have just bought skype, or something like that. It's pretty good, but still fairly new, so not as fantastic as MSN... :)

12:30 am

Babbler

.... in my humble opinion..... : )

12:31 am

Tbug

*se 4/4 dlfox's tw 4/8 ri 4/4*

12:36 am

zubie

Won't be here tomorrow, Babbler. I'll see you the day after! :D Have a good babble-nodding-obscure-word-se arching sleep! :D

12:36 am

Babbler

12:38 am

12:56 am

nava

yes, it rhymes with error

12:56 am

micamonkey

dlfox, more clue for si7 pls?

12:57 am

Uneaixoise

plural of si6

12:57 am

micamonkey

12:57 am

micamonkey

Uneaixoise, my si6 was already a plural ;)

1:02 am

micamonkey

and click on the one called babblers anonymous
there are stats there

1:02 am

zubie

Ok - the coin is frustrating me! :(

1:03 am

micamonkey

zubie, think error,
but starts with EY
and change the second vowel to another vowel

1:03 am

nava

yes, but who is brandyjack, and how do they get the stats?

1:03 am

micamonkey

cybernan, any clues on the other three 7 letter words?
I got the SI, TW and UN

1:04 am

zubie

Ah, thanks, mica! Got it!

1:05 am

grigs

1:05 am

cybernan

Would someone please give us a clue for either si 6?

1:05 am

1:06 am

dlfox

Are you sure there are 2 si6 words?

1:06 am

Uneaixoise

ruffh2o

un words: 10
ur words: 1

1:07 am

dlfox

1:07 am

cybernan

or 7/28: plural of the or5 preceding it (fragrant root stock used in perfume making) -- or***root

1:07 am

micamonkey

1:07 am

GreyWoulf

1:09 am

micamonkey

1:10 am

cybernan

st 7/28: pl. of st 6/18 -- think of song fr. My Fair Lady, "on the st**** where you live" - change final consonant

1:12 am

Uneaixoise

un5 x 3
un6 x 5
un7 x 1

1:12 am

micamonkey

1:12 am

cybernan

tw 7 and tw 8 -- based on tw 5 -- what a majorette does with a baton.

1:14 am

micamonkey

1:15 am

cybernan

un6 and un7: let(s) out line (as in fishing?)

1:16 am

Blaze

1:16 am

micamonkey

1:16 am

ruffh2o

1:16 am

cybernan

un6 and un 7 (next two) - not as smart

8:43 am

11:27 am

Miyavi - Machiavellism, the doctrine taught by Machiavelli in "The Prince," that to preserve the integrity of a State the ruler should not feel himself bound by any scruple such as may suggest itself by considerations of justice and humanity; the State he regards as too precious an institution to endanger by scruples of that sort.

So Jac, would the lyrics "hurry up! hurry up! wrist-cut show!" make sense under the title 'machiavellism'? (please don't ask)

though it sounds more like he's saying, 'kaoru, kaoru, eat cashew!' bit of a strong accent

11:38 am

Jacula

wi4 - Can be electrial, or maybe the type of coathanger that gets all tangled with others of its kind in your wardrobe.

2:40 pm

lola100

boreetos, lol! Very nice thank you, but I think he only has eyes for the skinny chick....

2:40 pm

Bugzy

I hear you joel... snow should come one night, and one night only, and that is Christmas eve, fall softly and prettily, blanket the ground on Christmas day, and then disappear until the next year.
Unless, of course, I'm going skiing, in which case there better be a darn good base + fresh powder!!

2:41 pm

ScoutsMom

Lotti, if you tell me the Big Boss looks like Bill Nye the Science Guy, I will lose my mind.

2:41 pm

lottijw

Boys, the same reason it won`t take "seri" today either!!

Smeltz - si5 - you have this. For si6 below it, add a letter to make it plural. Next si6 - double up your middle consonant from si5. Si7, after that, add a letter to your 2nd si6 to make it plural, this is from an earlier post

8:43 pm

Tuva

8:45 pm

mab

mas: you need another wr5, which means to struggle with someone to get something away from him/her. You have to wr5 it out of his hand.

8:45 pm

A male, I suppose, since he's tan? I know orange cats are almost always male, and I'm thinking tan is also gene specific to males. He's gorgeous. I have two: a black cat, Sophie, and a ginger tabby, Malka.

8:50 pm

dlfox

Do you HAVE to use the Qu as a Q and U? can I just use it as a Q? If so I'd get a well known qu5 word

8:51 pm

aknitter

can anyone help with the es word? i am banging my head against the wall

8:52 pm

mab

The last to ti's, tuva, sound like tighter, but are spelled differently. It is what is in your blood to demonstrate that you are immune to specific illnesses.

8:52 pm

Tuva

double it up and stop banging...

8:52 pm

Cathy

mab - yes, he's male ... and is the biggest lap cat I've ever seen. He's always curled up sleeping between me and keyboard, which makes playing Babble and typing somewhat of a challenge!

8:53 pm

mab

Keeps your wr6 warm, though, Cathy.

8:53 pm

Tuva

thank you, that completes it for me... now I have laundry to do!

many thanks all!

GW, I was pretty much the same when younger, but some friends opened my eyes to the world beyond books (and swivelled my impressionable young head toward sweaty young guys in shorts!).

GreyWoulf

Always a good time hooking up with friends, ohrom!

9:33 pm

GW: was it just me or were you curiously missing last night? Given your sci-fi interests, I can only assume that you were temporarily abducted by the space shuttle on startrek. : ) just kidding.

9:34 pm

GothicAngelMT

finished in an hour. Anyone need help before I go?

9:35 pm

GreyWoulf

No, ohrom - nothing so complex, unfortunately
I ended up pulling a 12 hour day between two stores yesterday -- as a result, I got on late

9:35 pm

harpjane

GW--um, actually LIGHT triggers the hibernation and migration patterns of most animals. Much more so than temperature. harp "know it all" jane

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

harpjane -- I know that, too ;D I was just getting a poke in at MAMA since I couldn't last night

9:37 pm

ohromujici

12 hour day? Tell your boss next time that you can't because there are people expecting you to be in the babble chatroom. hahaha just kidding. 12 hour days bite. I just got home about a half hour ago. I feel your pain.

9:38 pm

harpjane

OK. Well, since I'm full of useless trivia tonight--try this one: the Hollywood sign is for sale on eBay. I'm not making this up. Go check.

9:38 pm

doxy1lover

I always work 12 - 13 hour days, no choice

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

Thanks for the moral support, ohrom

I made up for it though -- I finished the grid when I got home adn then came back on after the flip and finished today's before I went to sleep :)

GreyWoulf

Thank you for all your hard work !!!

9:45 pm

doxy1lover

thanks GW. Sometimes it can be very rewarding, sometimes just hard work

9:47 pm

GreyWoulf

CCC - you are welcome
Congrats on finishing!

9:48 pm

ohromujici

Between ti 4/4 and ho 5/16, this is another one of those naughty puzzles.

9:48 pm

doxy1lover

this is my relief from the stress of work. In my job I'm responsible for not just 1 life, but 2. Most of the time it's not bad, but we have been slammed because of the full moon. We have a 10 bed labor unit and have had almost all the beds full for the last 3 days.

9:48 pm

ohromujici

Doxy: forgive my ignorance but what does the moon have to do with baby birthing? Just curious.

9:49 pm

doxy1lover

usually, a lot of women have their water break when there is a full moon or the barometer drops, or go into labor. Don't know the connection, but its true.

9:50 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom -- there is a statistical linkage between the occurence of the full moon and baby's being born

9:50 pm

ohromujici

That is cool/wierd trivia. : )

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

things go crazy in emergency rooms also. It really affects the people with mental problems, too.

9:51 pm

GreyWoulf

There was a show on one of the health channels where a FL midwife claimed it was related to the moons impact on water and the tide

9:52 pm

doxy1lover

I think that is a good relation.

9:52 pm

Charm

(We live in hurricane alley here.) When a hurricane approaches, women near term are moved into hospitals because they tend to give birth then. The theory seems to be that the change in external air pressure causes an imbalance with the pressure within and the water breaks. I'm sure there's a very nice scientific explanation....

9:52 pm

ohromujici

That is interesting. I knew that the moon caused the ocean waves but I didn't know that it did anything else. My friend is a NYC cop and he swears that the worst time to work is during a full moon. He said that there are a lot more bar fights and domestic disturbances, etc..

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

you're right about the other wards as well, doxy

There is a reason why when things go haywire, people will always claim that the full moon is imminent

9:54 pm

doxy1lover

when you think about it, our bodies are mostly water. That makes sense when you think about the moon affecting the tides.

9:55 pm

ohromujici

As a tried and true New Yorker, I never look up because I don't want to be mistaken for a tourist. I had no idea that there was a full moon tonight. : ) lol

9:55 pm

GreyWoulf

doxy - I think you just hit the nail on the head :D

9:56 pm

doxy1lover

full moon was actually tuesday night, it usually affects us for a few days either before or after

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Actually, ohrom - the moon is currently waning, full moon was Monday - Wednesday

9:58 pm

Dragonflies

Can anyone help me with my last two, pretty please?

If I had to guess, most likely because the day before and the day after the full moon, the difference in shape is imperceptible to the naked eye

10:03 pm

I'm blaming it on the muscle relaxer I took when I got home.

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Why blame it on anything? Blame has such a negative connotation...

10:15 pm

Charm

attribute it to my current inability to fall asleep....

GreyWoulf

there are also plurals involved

This is such a confused hint -- sorry :)

10:37 pm

GreyWoulf

one example - yes (si*+double vowel)

10:41 pm

lshult

just need the or now. can't figure this iris!!!

10:43 pm

lshult

just monkeyed it.
thanks all

10:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Ishult - if you Google the definition it should give you the answer -- or just combine the or with the flower and take out the first i

10:44 pm

lshult

off to woek now
finished on 75

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

So what else do you need?

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Ah, work -- the Babbler's bane! :)
Have a great day, Ishult!

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Is there anyone out there?

10:59 pm

boatierra

I cannot for the life of my figure out the st 6/7 combo. I saw the clue for saunters, but I'm getting nowhere with that either. A little help would appreciate a little help. Thanks.

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

np, boatierra -- did you see my clue at 10:08?

11:00 pm

nava

need a clue for er 4/4 the 2nd one please

11:03 pm

GreyWoulf

2nd er = er + two sequential consonants (p, q, r, *, *)

11:03 pm

boatierra

Thanks again GreyWoulf. I've never seen that word before. No wonder I had so much trouble.

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

I have to admit I monkey typed it myself :)

11:07 pm

boatierra

I looked up the the st 7/28 in the Thesaurus and it gives shlep as a synonym. A bit more sluggish than saunter.

11:07 pm

nava

nice clue, thanks much

11:07 pm

GreyWoulf

yw, nava

11:09 pm

GreyWoulf

boatierra - the def gives me the impression of an amiable drunken stagger

11:10 pm

GreyWoulf

Although the word out of context sounds like a type of dance

11:13 pm

GreyWoulf

Any more clues needed?

Anybody...Anybody...

Buelle r?...

11:14 pm

nava

es 4/4 ???

11:15 pm

GreyWoulf

es4 = plural 'es'

11:16 pm

nava

i am learning so many new words playing this game. i love it! thanks for the clues. i'll catch on here soon

11:18 pm

GreyWoulf

nava -- you're doing fine :)
it's all about having fun... the boost to your vocabulary is secondary

11:19 pm

chic

Hi All, GW where is everybody tonite? Maybe everyone finished early and went to bed. I'm up for the new one to come...

11:21 pm

nava

thanks i appreciate it

11:21 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey chic!

Yeah, pretty much all the regulars either haven't been on since I got here or they turned in as soon as they finished

I finished this AM, but have been hanging around to help any who might need it ;)

11:22 pm

GreyWoulf

(*whispers to self*) i have no life...

11:22 pm

chic

Yea, I finished earler today also. I kinda miss the jacuzzi party.

11:24 pm

GreyWoulf

Especially since it's so COLD outside!!

Yesterday, PA had a high of 76 degrees, and now its subfreezing! BRRRRrrrr!

11:24 pm

chic

GW, so what part of PA are you from? I have relatives out in Jersey Shore.

11:26 pm

GreyWoulf

I live in Lansdale, about 45 mins/an hour west of Philly.
I've been here just over a year -- originally from Long Island -- check my bio for a little more detail

11:26 pm

chic

We're getting colder at night here in the 50's but it was 80 today in Tucson. This is my favorite time here.

11:27 pm

boatierra

chic - you're in Tucson? I'm in Phx. I love Tucson. I miss it and UofA.

11:28 pm

chic

I lived in Camden while I was attending Rutgers South..back in the sixties...did you go to Woodstock?

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

I love this time of year, it's the abruptness of the change that bothers me. Long Island being surrounded by water had a more reasonable transition into the cold -- here it's like flipping a switch

11:30 pm

chic

Boat did you go to U of A? Gee, it's not like Phoenix is that far from here.

11:30 pm

nava

clue for un 7/32

11:31 pm

GreyWoulf

Unfortunately, I was born a little too late for the first Woodstock and when they tried to revive it, I had neither the money or insanity to attend :D

11:31 pm

pooh2

could i have a clue for the st 6/21 please

11:31 pm

chic

nava un + wind, make it plural

11:33 pm

GreyWoulf

pooh2 - take the 5/12 and add a consonant to make it a past tense

11:33 pm

chic

Well, Woodstock was a total hoot. I made it to Altamont too. That was evil.

11:34 pm

GreyWoulf

nava - un + re4/4 for the 6, then plural

11:34 pm

pooh2

Thank you GW!! I have just completed my first grid :)

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

chic - I am envious...

11:35 pm

nava

chic, i don't get your clue.

11:35 pm

chic

Congrats, Pooh2!

11:35 pm

GreyWoulf

Hooray for pooh2!!!!!

11:36 pm

nava

i am so sorry. i really needed un 7/48

11:36 pm

chic

nava, go with GW's clue; he's more experienced than I am.

11:38 pm

GreyWoulf

my clue was for the 7/28 as well

un 7/48 = less cleverer

11:38 pm

mas

un7/48 - even lacking less wisdom

11:39 pm

licketySplitAUS

Hi All - I'm a newbie. Just registered!

11:40 pm

chic

After Woodstock, a friend and I travelled across country in her VW Bus. It took a month for us to get to San Francisco. I've wanted to write a novel about our trip... Maybe it's still coming...

11:41 pm

chic

Hey ,welcome Lickety Split. It's usually more crowded than this ...

11:43 pm

GreyWoulf

Sorry, folks, my connection is acting hinky, I'm not ignoring any of you

11:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Welcome to the fold, LicketySplit!

Key things to know --
In the friends of Babble box to the right is the link to Babblers Anonymous. CLick on that, then on the General topic, and you will see an entry for the Daily Stats of the puzzle.

BrandyJack is a very nice person who lists a total word count and point value for the current grid. He then breaks it down by number of words by letter, as well as a two letter list which gives the first two letters plus length of word and point value

11:48 pm

Schroeder

Hi all
GW are you lonley tonight?

11:50 pm

GreyWoulf

A little bit, Schroeder :)

11:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Schroeder, most of the regulars aren't here tonight, so I have been manning the clue board for those who might need it, but it's been VERY quiet...

11:53 pm

Schroeder

Seems like everyone finished this one! Everyone must be lurking in the background waiting........

11:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Maybe....

The other day, Smeltzdog and I were speculating as to how many others were playing while we were chatting since we know that there are over 2500 registered players :D

11:56 pm

jenwould

hi all, just snuck in...finished early on in the a.m. and patiently waiting by the clock.. tick tock tick tock for the next 25 squares of glorious letters... I'm thinking a big one tonight, simply because work is busy.. must be a full moon... jen... note to self *stop babbling* Btw: GW that's my fave pic of you ^icon^ :P

11:58 pm

renfield

hi GW - just arrived home from the office - i've been missing you all this week - maybe it will be an exciting weekend! i can't wait to get back to the game words and out of this legal jargon

11:58 pm

Schroeder

I didn't realize there was that many babblers!! I'm sure most are in the closet, so to speak,and don't do much chatting
To be honest I'm a little afraid of what the next one is going to look like....300 words?
Hi Jenwould

11:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi jenwould!
Did you see my howling puppy icon?

BTW, full moon was on Tuesday

11:59 pm

jenwould

no... GW missed the lil guy... Full moon Tuesday? Makes sense, my line of work is all about delayed reactions :-)
