stillcrazy

hi there cybernan!

12:12 am

brandyjack

What you see will depend on which browser I use. If I switch to Firefox, it'll go back to the mate's pic. On Explorer it switches to the funky banana pic for Miyavi...

12:12 am

Debs40ish

a8/40

12:13 am

12:55 am

spatialbean

Ok this is the sexiest flower I could find. It's called clitoria ternatea, or the butterfly pea.

That's all I'm sayin.

12:55 am

zubie

Ok, LeslieAnn!

Bananas-bananas-bananas! Am I initiated into the Banana Society now? :)

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

sleep well, torgone

12:55 am

sprite

Woulf... 'sorry to see you split' is an interesting remark, in view of all the banana's :)

12:56 am

GreyWoulf

I just thought it was a bad pun myself ;)

12:56 am

sprite

I like it ;)

12:56 am

lottijw

12:58 am

stillcrazy

babye lotti...see you later.

12:58 am

brandyjack

no orchids?

12:59 am

sprite

I think lotti saying 'I usually am Karen' is interesting too. But then I am just barely awake.
Bye lotti, have a great day! You too, torgone :)

1:01 am

spatialbean

Well, yeah, I can get an orchid but I thought a flower called "clitorea" would get a bigger, uh, rise out of people.

1:02 am

sprite

spatial, I am so sorry to tell you... but babble will not recognize any clit. :(

1:04 am

spatialbean

*spatialbean pouts and goes to get an orchid.*

1:12 am

sprite

omg... I love the A8/40! What a funny word to find!

1:20 am

LUCKY

Sprite do you have a clue for the a/8 40?

1:20 am

sprite

I like the orchids, spatial.
Is there anyone left here? It's so peaceful here all of a sudden.

1:21 am

Chessy

morning all, morning sprite :)

1:21 am

sprite

It is an animal, Lucky. It lives on very tiny, six-legged animals.

1:22 am

sprite

hi Chessy!

1:23 am

Chessy

cool bananas everywhere, I'll just draw in a few. ((((((((

1:23 am

GreyWoulf

sorry, sprite -- just focused hence not much chat...

Hi Lucky and chessy!

1:23 am

sprite

LOL!
Works for me... miyavi will love the support.

1:24 am

LUCKY

Hey Greywoulf !

1:24 am

Chessy

Hi GreyWoulf :)

1:26 am

sprite

For the rest, this grid and me aren't becoming friends fast. I am allowed to enter Re5/18, but it will not take 'pouring a clear liquid over something again'. Nor will it recognize 'attaque'.

1:26 am

LUCKY

sprite ... six legged animals brrrrrrrrr that clue does not help .. it gives me the shivers!

1:28 am

LUCKY

Oh thank god sprite I thought that my computer was going heywire because attaque was not validated but I quess there is hope

1:28 am

sprite

Lol!
Well... picture a lot of them. You find them in heaps. Loads. They build high ;) And they crawl and they sting. And then, out of nowhere, our savior appears. With his long and sticky whip he wipes out the creepy intruders... *to be continued*

1:28 am

zubie

Lucky - insecta!

1:29 am

spatialbean

six legged little bitty bugs that bother you at picnics

1:29 am

stillcrazy

those six legged animals are picnic bugs

1:29 am

Chessy

thanx sprite, got it now ...

1:31 am

LUCKY

zubie and stillcrazy thanks got it now!

1:31 am

sprite

At least we have some bugging words back in the grid. Who asked for vulcanos yesterday? Also a needle holder. And the T-currency.

1:32 am

stillcrazy

you are welcome lucky!

1:36 am

GreyWoulf

Time for me to go to bed, ladies
I can't keep my eyelids up anymore
(all these T's and E's are draining)

I hope to see you all later

(*hugs for all*)

TTFN

1:37 am

Chessy

Goodnight GreyWoulf :)

1:37 am

sprite

*hugs Woulf right back*
Sweet dreams!

1:37 am

stillcrazy

gnight Grey Woulf...hugs to u2 and sweet dreams

1:42 am

sprite

1:44 am

stillcrazy

wtg sprite!

1:48 am

sprite

And with that, my connection went bananas and firefox closed down. But one thing bananas and boomerangs have in common... so I am back.

1:50 am

zubie

A few q hints please?

1:51 am

helenary

1:53 am

LUCKY

1:54 am

stillcrazy

1:56 am

sprite

There are 7 q-words related to 1/4. One is interesting, said of a fever that occurs every fourth day.
Two spellings of ancient question.
Two for silence, two for rows.
One for 24 sheets of paper, 1/24 of a ream.
And one you have in the E-department, just leave out the first E.

1:56 am

stillcrazy

it 7 is to utter or say again

1:58 am

jenwould

hi all...looks like I missed a big first 2 hours. Sprite~ hats off to you... well done.

1:58 am

sprite

En8/50: An earnest request or petition; a plea
it7/28: To say or perform again; repeat
And I must have missed one Q clue, for I gave 15, I think.

1:58 am

LUCKY

Sorry folks, have to scoot.... bbl!

1:58 am

sprite

Ah, yes, the Q you find near water of course.

1:58 am

stillcrazy

2:01 am

2:02 am

cybernan

2:02 am

Blaze

hello to all just jumping in..... Sprite where did the bananna come from ??

2:02 am

stillcrazy

night cybernan....sleep well

2:04 am

stillcrazy

hi Blaze....a good lot of us went bananas!

2:04 am

Blaze

I see that now... how do you do that...??

2:04 am

sprite

Hi Blaze!
The banana is for miyavi, as a token of support. She seems to have some sexrelated exam today.

2:06 am

Blaze

oh no... not the what to do to protect the bananna class. my girls were so discussed with that.... LOL

2:07 am

sprite

:D
Jen, I am sorry, missed your greeting! Hi there and good luck hunting, this is a fun grid.

2:08 am

zubie

My heart is not in it! 86 words and I'm not doing anything to sniff after the others! Could it be that I'm all babbled out? :o

2:09 am

sprite

I don't think there is a thing like 'babbled out'. :)

2:09 am

Blaze

Zubie never... do you need some haddock for support or chocolate....

2:15 am

jallen

Any good clues on the qu 9/72? Pretty please?

2:16 am

zubie

Chocolate, Blaze, although I'm not a big fan of it! :)

2:16 am

Blaze

zubie maybe you just need a nap... we all do sometimes...

2:17 am

helenary

musicians sounding very feminine

2:18 am

sprite

Q9: french-style elongated version of the 3rd Q7/40

2:19 am

zubie

I think I do, Blaze. Or maybe I'm just iffy because of the ankle!

2:20 am

jallen

Thanks sprite!

2:20 am

Blaze

Zubie did you have it checked to make sure there are no factures...or cracks...??

2:24 am

zubie

Well, Blaze - no xray, but the doctor didn't think that an xray was necessary. :s

2:25 am

Blaze

the reason I asked is that my daughter once sprained her ankle and then got kinda ill feeling after a few days and when they did do xrays there was a crack and that was causing her nausea and tiredness.... take care of yourself...

2:28 am

zubie

I will, Blaze. I'll get an xray if the pain doesn't subside soon. :s

2:28 am

sprite

Sounds like a plan. Won't hurt to check.

2:29 am

zubie

Lol. :D Nice pun, sprite!

No, it won't hurt at all to check!

2:30 am

Blaze

who said this was a fun grid..??? I must be losing my mind...

2:31 am

zubie

Just finished the rubbish q's. Now I am going to look for the lists!

2:31 am

micamonkey

2:32 am

zubie

Hi mica! How are you?

2:34 am

sprite

Er Blaze... I thought it was a fun grid. Did you find the A8 already? My absolute favorite of today.
Got to go, good luck hunting all of you and enjoy your day/night/whatever!

2:34 am

Chessy

Have a great day sprite :)

2:35 am

Blaze

I did find it... I think it will be okay I was just getting stuck on a few and a little distracted... all is well in foggy Vancouver.....

4:02 am

jenwould

it's 4am here... no one's been on the log for a while... did you all go bananas? have to "peel" yourselves from the grid... ???

4:02 am

jenwould

zubie... terrific! congrats that's bananatastic!

4:03 am

zubie

Lol, jen. Yes, they went bananas and I hid because I couldn't do likewise. I had a bad time finishing today. At 80, just lost all interest. Silly ankle.

How are you?

4:03 am

Chessy

Congrats zubie, good going. Any chance of a clue for re7/28 afore ye go?

4:03 am

zubie

LOL, jen! You're bananababbleristically descriptive!

4:04 am

zubie

re 7/28 - When I go, jen, I'll be beating a hasty re 7/28!

4:04 am

jenwould

yes, I just finished reading the posts... would have joined in the banana fun but unable to change Icon at work. So is there a cool story to go along with the injured ankle?

4:04 am

zubie

Oops, sorry, I meant, re 7/28 and Cheesy! Hi Cheesy. Thanks!

4:04 am

Chessy

thanks zubie, hope the ankle mends quickly :)

4:05 am

zubie

Lol - not so cool! Just tripped over my own leg and the sofa, in the room! How boring is that? :D

4:06 am

zubie

Thanks, Chessy! Sorry. I keep mistyping your name!

4:06 am

jenwould

boring? no... wouldn't have been the first word I'd use to describe but why kick someone while they're down right? So is it changing colors yet?

4:07 am

zubie

LOL! You're the second person to ask me that! Is it supposed to change colours? It hadn't, last night. I'll check again tonight and let you know tomorrow! :D

4:09 am

jenwould

well Zubie, is it at least swollen? don't forget to "rice" it! Do you know r.i.c.e.?

4:09 am

jenwould

Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate
R.I.C.E.

4:10 am

zubie

I don't know 'r.i.c.e' - what is it? It is swollen. Big and swollen and podgy!

4:10 am

zubie

Ah! I am CEing it and not so much RIing it! Have to work so can't rest it or ice it as much as it should be!

4:11 am

jenwould

best to prop up at night, in bed, with a couple of frozen bags of peas wrapped around it....

4:13 am

jenwould

also alternating between warm and cold soaks every other day... helps to break the blood clots (bruising) and increase blood flow. (used to play soccer. tons of sprained ankles)

4:13 am

zubie

I shall do that! But peas?

4:14 am

Chessy

zubie, could I also trouble you for a clue for the very first re word, the re4/4. It's hiding somewhere but I can't find it :(

sure peas are great. not as big as ice/ easier to spread around more of your ankle and round / less sharp edges to hurt like ice cubes and ice chips. then just refreeze... but don't cook them for Thanksgiving dinner... keep in freezer for additional "preplanned acrobatic tumbles in the living room that allow you to practive new yoga positions"

7:03 am

Anj

Hi Temple, Doll :)

I'm sure we can slip a few in now and then :)

7:04 am

joelgee

banana day was on purpose to honor miyavi_fan's sex ed class today. Babbler's idea, I think.
Banana jokes seem to be an unforeseen banana byproduct.

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

they have such appeal

7:06 am

Doll414

Well since you have a good reason for the icons I guess we will have to put up with the banana jokes

7:06 am

joelgee

to paraphase Freud, on the other hand, sometimes it's just a banana

7:07 am

Doll414

too early for me to go banana hunting haven't had my coffee yet

7:07 am

Babbler

tee hee! Banana Day's going well, I see!

: D

7:08 am

72 Temple Owl

doll - i have a feeling i may begin coffee drinking soon...or maybe just drinking.... : )

7:08 am

joelgee

pooh's mom's icon was my favorite.
It was a banana in the shape of the symbol representing 3.1416.
I believe she was banana pie.

7:08 am

Anj

Hey Babbler, nice bunch :)

7:08 am

Doll414

Temple that sounds like a plan to me

7:08 am

72 Temple Owl

7:09 am

Doll414

Great idea this banana day thing Babbler not to sure about the jokes it's inspired though

Doll414

So Babbler... How is it hanging?

7:16 am

7:16 am

Jera

Thank you, Babbler, my Sprite will be thrilled!

7:16 am

tbear, if it's a big red bus you're talking about, then I think you mean "Here come the Double Deckers" (starring a young Brinsley Forde out of Aswad, I believe)

Although the theme tune sounds a lot like the Banana Splits...

"I'm Chiquita Banana and I've come to say -
I offer good nutrition in a simple way -
When you eat a Chiquita you've done your part -
To give every single day a healthy start -
Underneath the crescent yellow -
You'll find vitamins and great taste -
With no fat, you just can't beat 'em -
You'll feel better when you eat 'em -
They're a gift from Mother Nature and a natural additional to your table -
For wholesome, healthy, pure bananas -
look for Chiquita's label!"

Evanadine - I love the Banana Museum!! Esp. the old pictures of "banana eating parties" The last time I ate a banana at a party it was a bachelorette party ... game was to see who could *ahem* bite the furthest down the banana!! Wonder if that's what those old-time ladies were doing!!! ;)

8:15 am

EvaNadine

hehe...i think they had a lot of neat stuff there...curious about the "ban the banana" poster...
sadly, not a huge fan of the naners, myself. i have one now + then, but i usually skip to the melons or berries.

This icon is more appropriate for a woman of my age. The other 1 was perfect for sex-ed class tho.

10:39 am

Miyavi_fan

Hah, Artlady...your mind tricks are to no effect, haha...turns out the scary sex ed. pse day is in the spring, when all the year nines are getting frisky :D Instead, we were doing eating disorders, complete with scary pictures...

10:39 am

All that work...time...ok, now I have to leave and reaaalllyyy work..tttl...

sorry...teachers decided last minute to change the class. But Babbler, you've made an emotionally scarred teenager very, very happy :) *wipes away tear*

10:41 am

I have to get to work for a while too...... later!

10:42 am

Babbler

thanks artlady!! btw, don't sleep, don't work (burn-out, rheumatism and other posh words).

btw, got some cough syrup today. It's got Guaifenesin in it. Supposed to be good for aches and pains as well, right?? Some big studies going on in the US. Anyone know more?

10:42 am

Jacula

I need to split now. TTFN.:-))

10:42 am

Babbler

you're welcome Miya!!! I'm so glad I got back from the shops in time for you! : D

see you later, Lotti : )

10:45 am

Greetings All.
After discussing eating disorders, etc. I'll bet the last thing Miy needed to see was banana icons. Oops. Darn teachers never get it right.
Welcome Miy!

10:46 am

Bye lotti ..(((<<<XXX>>>)))

10:46 am

ok guys, only checked in to see Miya's reaction!! : )

be back later : ) xxx

10:46 am

Minski

BTW ~
Having issues with my last U word. It is one of the UR5/12s. I have the one that's the salt of some acid. Thanks.

10:46 am

Babbler

love the BAnana Splits, Tor-Tor : D

10:47 am

Miyavi_fan

Hey Minski :) Don't worry about the bananas, the only irritating thing about doing eating disorders is that everyone in my class keeps calling me anorexic! :/

10:47 am

EasternBlue

bye Babs...happy napping...and I hope you knock this cold soon!!

10:47 am

Minski

But I have enjoyed reading the chat and viewing the wonderful banana pics! Made me hungry. It's been a fun day.

10:47 am

lola100

'bye babs :)

10:48 am

Babbler

thanks EB. I've got a sore throat and a chesty cough. My throat and chest feel cold. And I've been having head spins since Sunday. : ( Hot and cold today too. I've wrapped up and I'm gonna sweat it out. : )

10:48 am

Minski

You can tell them all that your friends treated you to a banana split. And if your nonbabble friends are right you need to treat yourself to one. NOW!!!

10:48 am

EasternBlue

*pours Babs a hot toddy*

That should help too...: )

10:50 am

doxy1lover

babbler, this sounds gross, but works. Drink a hot lemonade. It helps to sweat it out.

10:50 am

Babbler

ty :D

10:50 am

Miyavi_fan

lol Minski :)

10:51 am

artlady

miyavi, we had a lot of fun looking for icons, making really bad puns about bananas, yellow, etc. I went on a "mellow yellow" singing binge last night and earlier this morning. We hope you enjoyed it! We probably won't get nearly so worked up for anything else for a while...or maybe we will! Enjoy your day..I'm off to grade 5th grade drawings!

10:53 am

Miyavi_fan

:D Thanks Artlady!

10:53 am

Haz1558

Miyavi -apologies that I haven't got a banana icon. I'm slightly allergic to the blessed things and didn't want to set things off....

10:54 am

EasternBlue

Gotta 'split' for a little bit...

10:55 am

Miyavi_fan

Don't worry, Haz, I haven't either :) Still modelling mr Hideto Matsumoto over here

10:55 am

still looking for ra8/40

10:56 am

Haz1558

If you have ra 6/18 add a couple of letters at the end.

10:56 am

doxy1lover

help with qu9 and last qu7

10:57 am

Haz1558

qu 9 is a lengthier version of a 4 person singing group.

10:58 am

doxy1lover

thanks haz, got it

10:58 am

Miyavi_fan

Well, not any more...though Dir en Grey are by no means bananas :)

Last time I checked, anyway

10:59 am

Haz1558

The ra 6/18 is the one involving a rodent and a number.

10:59 am

renfield

myiavi - artlady really did sing and sing and had me join her in singing the refrain - thanks for giving us joy today 8)

10:59 am

Minski

Having issues with the RA7/28.
I know I'll want the fish because I have all the other Rs.

11:00 am

artlady

Hi ren...(ok, I'm working, I'm working...)

11:00 am

Miyavi_fan

*big cheesy grin* thanks, Renfield :)

11:00 am

mtnjock

do you have the one with the rodent and the high schooler?

11:00 am

Minski

The one I'm missing is the one between the 2 RA6/18s.

11:01 am

mtnjock

rodent + high school aged person (****y bopper)

11:01 am

renfield

can anyone tell i'm slightly dyslectic? sorry - comes w/ the territory

11:02 am

renfield

thanks for the grin! 8)

11:04 am

Miyavi_fan

*thinks for a bit*

Thank you for thanking me for the grin!

hah

11:05 am

Minski

Thanks mtnjock. I thought I was done with the Rs but need to examine my list because I'm not according to the stats. (insert eyes rolling smilie here)

11:05 am

joelgee

so, miya--
what's new?

11:06 am

Miyavi_fan

bah...not a lot, Joel. What about you?

11:07 am

mtnjock

I am missing the last ra 6/18

11:08 am

joelgee

nuthin' much.
Was your class as bad as you thought it was going to be?

11:09 am

Minski

Mtnjock

Rat, RA6/18, rattest

11:09 am

Miyavi_fan

Turns out, they changed the PSE day plan...going to give us the scary sex ed in spring when we're all frisky :D Instead, we were treated to the joys of eating disorders. Nice.

11:11 am

joelgee

oh man.
Who thinks this stuff up?
Do you feel better armed to identify those with eating disorders? Are people more concerned now that they might have eating disorders?

11:12 am

Smeltzdog

allo?

11:12 am

joelgee

I had a friend in medical school. Everytime he learned something new, he was sure he had it.

11:12 am

joelgee

smeltz

11:13 am

Minski

Allo Smeltzy! Is it Mr. or Mrs.?

11:13 am

Miyavi_fan

Actually, I think a few of the girls in my class were rather taken with the idea. "Bulimia: the quickest, easiest way to lose weight" :/ I'm guessing they'll go into an anti-feeding frenzy now, then rush home and panic-eat a whole pack of fun-size mars bars. Which will then be bought back up in a less than fun-size form

11:13 am

Smeltzdog

this is the captain speaking

11:14 am

joelgee

so it's mrs. smeltz then.

11:14 am

EasternBlue

Ahoy Mr. Smeltzie!

11:14 am

Minski

Sometimes I wonder if teaching kids about eating disorders isn't just introducing the idea into fertile minds.

11:15 am

joelgee

miya--
quite the genteel way of putting it.

11:15 am

Smeltzdog

Joel - this is the mr...there isn't a way for me to respond to that without getting in trouble so I'm gonna stay qu5/16

11:15 am

lshult

my server is sooo slow tonight. Driving me crazy!!!!

11:16 am

EasternBlue

Minski - ...I think it helps if it can be identified & treated...and so many kids find info out on the web & try to live as an anorexic or bulemic...it's so sad...

11:16 am

Miyavi_fan

exactly! Though we were shown some pretty gruesome pictures of anorexic people. And told one of those stories which is almost an exact copy of the 'scary' ones told on sleepovers when you're about eight. "Once upon a time, in a school very like this one, a class of students very much like yourselves..." ending of course in some girl of the past dying of anorexia. Oh, cheers. Feeling much better now.

11:17 am

Miyavi_fan

It's called class Joel lol :)

11:17 am

joelgee

you are one classy dudette, miya.

11:18 am

Smeltzdog

min - it's the same as being overly protective about sex ed. Kids already know about the stuff. It's true that a few will be exposed to the info for the first time but it will set some of the students straight about the negatives. They only hear about the benefits from their friends.

11:19 am

EasternBlue

I still remember a movie I saw in 6th grade about smoking - an older man with the bottom part of his face gone due to cancer...it was pretty gruesome (and to this day I've never smoked anything...)...

11:19 am

Minski

I know that education is the best cure and the best preventative measure. There is always one or two kids who think the idea sounds like a great way to lose weight. I guess it's a no win situation and you try to do your best to teach kids how dangerous it is but you still have to have an eagle eye and watch out for the details and small changes. So scary.

11:20 am

renfield

it is bad - i'm 5'9" and weighted less than 90 #'s at one time - and when i finally wanted to eat - it was very difficult to keep anything down - yeck - sometimes the industry makes it to difficult to be a female - of course - i canned that career path

11:20 am

EasternBlue

74 & I'm now going to BrandyJack's list...

11:20 am

Miyavi_fan

:D Joel, I think it likely that I'm lacking in some important aspects of being classy. For example...I bet Queen Elizabeth doesn't still have a giggling fit when things sound vaguely indecent. In registration, a teacher told a guy to "stop playing with those balls, boy!" He was chucking tennis balls about, but we didn't stop laughing till about one hundred years later when we got sent out. :/

Blimmin' funny though.

11:21 am

Minski

And no, I'm not one of those religious right midwesterners who don't believe in teaching their kids anything and then wonder why they do such stupid things to themselves. (Sorry if any of you are.)

11:21 am

EasternBlue

Miya - ROFLMAO...

I guess I don't have class either : D

11:22 am

Miyavi_fan

Eastern, class can ruin fine comedy like that! :D

11:22 am

joelgee

to paraphrase:
Class is easy, comedy is hard.

11:23 am

renfield

oh is that ever true

11:24 am

Minski

Miy ~ Wait until they show you the scary driver's ed films showing car accidents complete with blood and gore. Talk about gruesome and unforgettable.

11:24 am

joelgee

minski--
exactly what I was thinking.

11:25 am

Miyavi_fan

I know what you mean, Renfield, I went through a complete paranoid stage a while ago...I think I actually made myself believe I wasn't hungry. It was only when I noticed I could count every vertebrae on my back I thought "screw it, I'm bl**dy starving!" Went downstairs and ate!

11:25 am

roncook

hi guys i,m stuck on the first qu7/40 5th in list any clues

11:26 am

Minski

Add a few letters onto the QU5 just above it.

11:27 am

mtnjock

base word is the qu5, next 5 words use it, different endings (vowel plus a cons.)

11:27 am

Minski

the liquid measurement QU5

11:28 am

Miyavi_fan

Minski, I think we're safe from that in England, they don't teach us drivers ed in school! Instead, last year, we did a first aid thing where we watched a really badly acted film. Like, a guy on a motorbike comes off and is thrown several metres down the road...another dude gets a close up with: "Oh no. Shall we remove his helmet?" then the superhero of the day "no! you musn't! he could have neck injuries!" *collective gasp* then they spend the next ten minutes talking about the injuries he COULD have, while the poor guy lies bleeding on the ground

11:29 am

Smeltzdog

min - easy on the Midwesterners...I would probably find myself right of center and live in the midwest. I gave a sex talk on Halloween and heard 7th graders say things I didn't know about until I was in high school.

Besides that, the midwestern right doesn't stand up for itself because it isn't pushed. The religious people you are refering to are on the east coast and from Colorado to the pacific.

11:29 am

joelgee

so I guess the moral is, don't wear a helmet so people can see your injuries.

11:29 am

roncook

i,ve got the 2 pints l assume it is a follow on from that word

11:30 am

Minski

Close. Ours are usually films on the evils of drunk driving so they show both cars and lots of blood and gore and stuff. They are effective but teenagers *present company excluded I hope* tend to think they are immortal.

11:31 am

Miyavi_fan

Exactly, Joel! Either that or to try not to land near such a group of complete morons. In fact, try and land somewhere near trained medical staff

11:32 am

joelgee

better yet, try to land ON trained medical staff

11:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Minski, I'll never forget the story my maths teacher told me about this guy who used to be in his class, Trevor. Every day he ran across the road without waiting for the lights to go...one day he didn't make it across. Made me totally paranoid about crossing the road now

11:33 am

joelgee

so meanwhile, we have to do this whole banana thing again in the spring? Man!

11:33 am

Minski

Whoops. Sorry Smeltzy. Didn't mean to push any buttons. I probably shouldn't have posted that. Funny though the misimpressions easterners have for midwesterners and vice versa. I would think that most of the ultrareligious ultraextreme people were in the midwest and the south while you probably think they are all on the coasts and in the north.

11:34 am

mtnjock

any help with the re-7/28 ?

11:34 am

Miyavi_fan

Joel, you love it really :)

11:35 am

joelgee

Both y'all take a look at the blue and red states. That'll give you some idea of who's where. I think religious dogmatists are pretty much everywhere.

11:35 am

Minski

RE7/28
something soldiers do when they have lost a battle

11:35 am

joelgee

shhh. don't tell anybody.

11:36 am

e_gurl85

i still can not figure the qu 9 letter word any more clues

11:36 am

torgone

Minski - I would never withdraw, back away, recede or shie away from giving you a clue for the re7/28.

11:36 am

Smeltzdog

min - I went to a small Christian college. Religious people were complacent because they weren't challenged. At a state school, religious people have to take a stand for what they believe or they will get walked all over. That's all I'm saying. I wasn't upset by what you said. There are some wacko religious right people around here but they aren't nearly as powerful as the ones on the ends of the country.

11:36 am

mtnjock

someone pass the cod of d'oh.... also as a midwesterner (transplanted south), religion is alive and thriving in the southern states...

11:36 am

Miyavi_fan

My lips are sealed :)
Though it may be cucumbers...depends what the teacher feels like buying :/

11:37 am

mtnjock

qu9, if the 4 some (qu7), was all female or petite...

11:37 am

joelgee

oh man! Cucumber theme day. What a pickle!

11:37 am

renfield

sweet

11:38 am

Minski

yeah Smeltzy. Like the one in Washington DC!

11:38 am

cybernan

Good morning, everyone!

11:38 am

Miyavi_fan

Smeltz, you got that right. Someone asked me to go out with them on a Sunday morning, and I said I was sorry but I'd be in Church. Now she avoids me like the plague

11:38 am

joelgee

hey, cybernan.

11:39 am

Minski

The QU5 liquid measure plus the french diminuitive ending.

11:39 am

Smeltzdog

btw - I use the term "religion" tongue in cheek. Most people that say they are "religious" haven't seen the inside of a church or put it into practice for a long time. I was refering to "religion" not a living relationship.

11:40 am

Smeltzdog

(refresh) - I joined the banana bandwagon.

11:41 am

Minski

Gotta go. Baby just woke up from a way too short nap. I still have 80 words left to find so I'll be back. TTFN.

11:41 am

mtnjock

smeltz, I am from South Bend, which college did you go to?

11:42 am

Smeltzdog

Huntington

11:42 am

Smeltzdog

have a good one Min!

11:42 am

mtnjock

very good school, I went to Purdue... LOL

11:42 am

lshult

missing both ar7's'
any clues?

11:42 am

Miyavi_fan

Later Minski :)

11:43 am

joelgee

see you, minski

11:43 am

Smeltzdog

Purdue? When are they going to be good at sports again?

Go Buckeyes!

11:44 am

tabbycat

Purdue's women's basketball team is good

11:44 am

Smeltzdog

I heard they are good fencers too!

11:44 am

mtnjock

LOL, I wish I knew!!!! Go Big 10 (in the south, we all root for anything in our division... LOL, even ND).

11:45 am

mtnjock

Wrestling team is still ranked in top 5... As is women's volleyball (somewhere in top 10)...

11:46 am

Smeltzdog

there was a day I cheered for ND...aganst USC...I can't anymore because it looks like OSU and ND have a little date at a bowl game.

11:47 am

mtnjock

Mom and sister work there, but GO Buckeye's (used to have a bumper sticker that said my 2 favorite teams are Purdue and anyone playing ND).

11:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Ah, this I don't understand...it always seems in America, there's so much school spirit...cheerleaders, stuff like that. Over here it's all cold and emotionless :) Work work work...

11:49 am

joelgee

When I went to high school, we took pride in our lack of school spirit. Go team, my #$@!!!

11:49 am

mtnjock

ar7's same word, different vowel on end... think tv star AR* Gross (sp on last name) and the french diminutive ending...

11:50 am

boreetos

miyavi, in high school, I was voted most spirited amongst my class. I was at every rally, usually dressed up silly, and all that. I never once attended a sporting event. Not once. no football, no swim meets. Nothing. I found it ironic.

11:50 am

Smeltzdog

miya - when I think of european stereotypes, I don't think of work, work, work...I think of work, drink, drnik, dkrni, pass out.

11:50 am

lshult

no one able to help with those pesky ar7's?

11:50 am

Tuva

the TV star?

Gimme a different clue... :)

11:51 am

mtnjock

the AIR up there is thin... mix up the caps...

11:51 am

mtnjock

Lshult, I am trying....

11:52 am

mtnjock

and Tuva, how much more well rounded could one person be! I just read your profile... LOL

11:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Smeltz! We English are different to the rest of Europe I think. Straight backs, don't show any emotion, women are expected to be proper young ladies. At my friends school, the girls can only wear dresses and they have to sit with their legs crossed at the ankles - if they don't, they get a detention

11:53 am

lshult

if it's an American TV star, explains why i've no idea (otherwise i'm just thick)!

11:53 am

Miyavi_fan

*tuts* Joel, Joel, Joel...

11:53 am

Tuva

only well rounded enough to get ONE of the two Ar7s, apparently...

:)

11:53 am

joelgee

ishuit--
i'm in america and I have no idea who it is either.

11:54 am

lshult

one more than me!

11:54 am

Tuva

I am with Joel on that TV Star....

11:54 am

mtnjock

now Lshult, look at the clue right after to get the first name... remember ar7

11:54 am

Smeltzdog

I realized even more this weekend how self-absorbed the the American people are. There is such a need for us to help in Pakistan after the earthquake and in Africa with the AIDS epidemic and the 2000 million orphans who will go to bed hungry again tonight. 36,000 people will die of starvation again today and we are concerned with who will win a sporting event and pay hundreds of dollars to watch.

11:54 am

joelgee

We were proud.

11:54 am

mtnjock

ari gross (played several comedic parts on sit coms...

11:55 am

Tuva

Smeltz, I have no time for starving people on other continents right now... there is cool stuff to watch on Cable!

11:55 am

mtnjock

tuva, swap the vowel on the end to an a

11:56 am

Tuva

ok, MTN... but that makes TWO made up words....

11:56 am

Smeltzdog

I hear you...It's one of those things you have to see or feel to get passionate about. I didn't care either before...I'm still going to have a party to watch the Buckeyes win!

11:57 am

Miyavi_fan

Wow...now that is true love...just saw a fan video where the lead singer of a band, during a live, takes a drink and spits some of it out at the audience. Several fans get trampled by everyone in the hall surging forward to try and get sprayed by a couple of molecules of the divine water! Mad.

11:57 am

mtnjock

tuva, its a short aria... LOL

11:57 am

Tuva

See, Smeltz, unless the Pakistanis come up with a good cornerback, I just don't see how you will be able to care much about them....

11:58 am

joelgee

okay.
back to work. just stopped in for what I thought was going to be a few seconds of hilarious laughter of miya and the sex ed class.
Instead, found eating disorders, bloody motorists, and lord knows what else.
miya--
your school officials really have to check with us before they change stuff.
Tell them.

11:58 am

e_gurl85

can i get clue on any of the a words please

11:59 am

joelgee

tuva--
do I see a sardonic smirk on your flying spaghetti monster?

11:59 am

Jo

Hello Everyone ... a rare Babble peek at work! ;-) Shame on me!!

11:59 am

Tuva

Joel....

He has touched me with His Noodly Appendage, this much I say is true....

R'amen

11:59 am

Miyavi_fan

Joel, I totally intend to

12:00 pm

joelgee

jo--
okay. shame.

12:01 pm

Tuva

AN8 anyone?

12:01 pm

joelgee

you pastafarians are a saucy lot.

12:01 pm

Jo

AN 8 -- compound word, its an animal

12:01 pm

Tuva

It has something to do with the Pirate Blood in us all!

Yarrrg!

12:02 pm

PhylJ

That place has great food

12:02 pm

joelgee

tuva--
think about a creature with a long nose and a long tongue that eats insects.

12:02 pm

Tuva

dang, I tried to find that earlier and thought it was not there...

12:02 pm

speedfreak sam

who can help with the 7s and 8s and 9s please please please write back oh and nava you seem very good can you or anyone else give some clues and another oh sorry ishult cant help.

12:03 pm

Tuva

who is Nava?

12:04 pm

mtnjock

ar 7's short arias (think french diminutive ending), and then change last vowel

12:04 pm

joelgee

I save time by typing in words that look like they're there, even if I can't consciously see them. Sometimes, I think, I've seen them on a subconscious level.
Hope that doesn't sound too dopey.

12:04 pm

Miyavi_fan

Tuva, lol I love Ramen. Have you tried it with mayonnaise?
Sounds horrible.
BUt isn't.

12:05 pm

Tuva

Miyavi, you need to follow the teachings of the One True God.

Have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage?

12:05 pm

joelgee

ramen and mayo--
Globs of mayo or a smidgin of mayo?

12:06 pm

EasternBlue

Tuva - CAREFUL...Miya is only a youngin'!!

12:06 pm

Atalante

globs!

12:06 pm

joelgee

tuva--
express yourself, but no word spreading.

12:06 pm

EasternBlue

(of course, that means my mind is in the gutter)

12:07 pm

joelgee

is this a UK thing?
Ramen with mayo?
That's two of you now.
I would never have thought of that.

12:09 pm

joelgee

Anyway, really back to work now and try to erase the concept of mayoed ramen from my mind.

12:09 pm

Miyavi_fan

Nope, it's a Japan thing...member of a band I like was eating ramen with mayo in a fan video (as I recall a lot of it got thrown around) so I tried it and it was really nice.
Tuva, I am choosing to ignore that!

12:09 pm

Smeltzdog

I'm going to try this ramen thing for lunch...is there a particular flavor? I have beef, roast beef, hot and spicy beef, hot and spicy chicken, chicken and pork.

12:10 pm

lshult

yippiiiiii, i finally got the a7's.
ty for all the help. It was a real struggle, but worth it in the end.
43 words to go gonna call it a night. Try again in the mornig if there's enough time.

12:10 pm

joelgee

okay, but how do you account for Atalante's comment? She knows.

12:10 pm

Miyavi_fan

Don't think it matters...just as long as there's lots of mayo :D

12:11 pm

joelgee

ishuit--
shalom!

12:11 pm

lottijw

Miyavi (((xx))) How ya doing kiddo...??

12:13 pm

Don't know why.
Anyway, hi lotti.
Really off to work now.

12:15 pm

lottijw

Hi Joel......bye Joel, have a good un :)

12:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

lottijw

Yeah, doing good......maybe even better if i could see it too!!! Anyway, i see we all dressed up for you and it wasn`t needed today...bu**er!!!
Can I get changed now?? *Is Torgone around to unzip me???*

12:18 pm

EasternBlue

12:18 pm

speedfreak sam

I'm jewish too shalom abba look a dag

12:19 pm

lottijw

EB if Torgone`s doing it, he can call it whatever he likes ;)

12:19 pm

EasternBlue

12:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

Lotti, just managed to lose the link but I can send you a Miyavi fan vid to the same song if you'd really like :D
(this is the fan video that had me singing 'too sexy for my shirt' for about two hundred years)

12:20 pm

lottijw

Why is he here??? You`ll blush then!!!!

12:21 pm

speedfreak sam

why has everyone got bananas as logos

12:21 pm

EasternBlue

Lotti - I don't think Tor is here...

12:22 pm

GINGER1

Afternoon everyone. I'm on 68 and struggling....I cannot get all those qu's.

12:22 pm

Tuva

Miyavi...

Choosing to ignore what?

His Noodly Appendage?

How can you ignore the One True God?

R'amen

12:22 pm

Smeltzdog

*water boiling*

12:23 pm

PhylJ

How many are there?

12:23 pm

Miyavi_fan

Speed freak, at my school I had PSE day today. The teachers told us it was going to be sex ed., in particular we would be putting condoms on bananas :/

12:23 pm

EasternBlue

Speedfreak - the abridged version -
Monday was 'smiley face' day
Miya was supposed to have a 'sex ed' discussion in school today (Tues)
Babbler thought it would be fun to 'surprise' her with bananas all around...
The rest goes from there...I believe tomorrow is "cat" day!

12:24 pm

EvaNadine

haha...i only just heard of the flying spaghetti monster for the first time maybe a month or so ago + now i hear about it all the time!!

12:24 pm

EasternBlue

Phyl - 165

12:24 pm

Miyavi_fan

Tuva, don't forget how close I got to giving a banana protection against STI's and unwanted pregnancy. Noodly appendages are just about the limit to what I can stand

12:24 pm

Smeltzdog

Miya - Have you read Speedfreak's bio? It could be a 9 year old or his dad. If it wasn't the father there will be a little talk this evening to explain that one!

12:25 pm

lottijw

Oh well *looks sad* i`ll catch up with him later i`m sure EB :(
Miyavi, check your mail!!!!

12:25 pm

cybernan

Well, got a few more on the second run through -- couldn't fathom the ar clues -- missing both ar 7's and the last two at's (7&6) -- have 10 minutes before I have to leave -- can anyone help?

12:25 pm

Miyavi_fan

yay, mail mail mail :D *scrapes cobwebs out of inbox*

Smeltz...um, I, um...*blushing* no...

12:27 pm

EasternBlue

cyber - sorry - not that far along...

12:27 pm

mtnjock

clue on the er4/4 word?

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

to make money, spelled otherwise.
:)

12:27 pm

mtnjock

never mind, monkey'd it.

12:27 pm

EasternBlue

Lotti - maybe one of the other gents could substitute for now!

Smeltzie - good catch...um...that may be hard to explain!

12:27 pm

mtnjock

thanks eva

12:27 pm

Tbug

sesame street... bert & er*** - take out a letter

12:28 pm

mtnjock

12:29 pm

12:33 pm

Tuva

Miyavi...

His Noodly Appendage is not a sexual thing... it is a holy and truly spiritual thing.

Plus, ya got pirates!

12:33 pm

aknitter

efor -- a spiffy dresser is na*** and it's ier

12:33 pm

roncook

12:35 pm

EvaNadine

Ta 6/18 -- more Ta 4/4

12:35 pm

aknitter

ta 6/18 -- mayo and pickle sauce for fish

12:35 pm

Miyavi_fan

*cheesy grin* I know it's a sign of immaturity. But the word appendage just automatically triggers off the word crotch in my head. I wish I knew why.

12:37 pm

snowyowl

lol Miy - all you have to do is to learn to look like you're not thinking it!

12:40 pm

cybernan

bye for now.

12:41 pm

Tbug

*wonders how smeltz's lunch is*

12:41 pm

EasternBlue

bye cyber...check back later (much later!) and I might be able to help at that time...

12:41 pm

EasternBlue

Tbug - I was thinkin' the same thing!

12:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

Snowy, I have one of those faces that betrays every emotion I feel...majorly annoying. Like when a teacher who couldn't pronounce her R's was talking about ranking in the Tudor times...five seconds before I cracked :)

12:43 pm

Tbug

ha eastern! am contemplating giving it a try for lunch myself...

12:43 pm

Smeltzdog

this is terrible. I don't know how or why anyone would think this is remotely tasty!!!

*throws the rest in the trash since the dogs ran from it...resorts to PB&J*

12:43 pm

Miyavi_fan

And on that note, I have to go...see you all later, sorry for tainting any younger than I, sorry for the banana mix-up. Ciao

12:43 pm

EasternBlue

Bye Miya - thanks for the laughs as always!

12:43 pm

snowyowl

LOL bye Miy

12:44 pm

:)

1:02 pm

groovygranny

1:04 pm

snowyowl

I'm so glad that its ended well for you groovy - and it is so easy to love a grandchild! They must be the most yummy things ever! I seem to have endless patience & spend loads of time thinking up things for them to do that their mums & dads won't let them!

1:05 pm

Smeltzdog

I went to a paid conference in Nashville from Thursday until last night. I work today and tomorrow and take Thursday and Friday off. I guess I should concider myself lucky!

1:05 pm

Poo's Mom

harpjane

en 5/10? The fist one?

Thanks

1:12 pm

Haz1558

en 5/10 - add the past tense of eat
en 7/28 - add tr5/10 to make a special request

1:13 pm

harpjane

Thanks for the en 7. Should have gotten that one on my own.
I already have the en 5 that's past tense of eat. Need the other one, please?

1:14 pm

mtnjock

done done done done done done !!!!!! I hate vowels!!!!!!!! Anyone need some help?

1:14 pm

bookebinder

another word for the return key

1:15 pm

ScoutsMom

WTG, mtn. You're famous. And you don't have to like vowels; just remember they like YOU.

1:15 pm

Haz1558

en 5/10 - go in
en5/14 - you make this when you go in

1:16 pm

harpjane

Never mind. I had it already!

1:16 pm

roncook

1:16 pm

snowyowl

Congrats mtnjock

Hi everyone - how goes it today?

1:19 pm

roncook

tbug ta got it.

1:19 pm

Haz1558

Hello Sanky - working through the grid. It's a reasonable size today.

1:19 pm

The Happy 1

hi folks how y'all doin?

1:22 pm

mtnjock

thanks scouts, snowy, an 8, 2 part word, animal, long snoot

1:22 pm

roncook

mtnjock i,m missing the following 7s AR ..AR.. EN.. RE.. TE.. TR.. WA.

1:24 pm

mtnjock

ron the ar7's petite, small aria's (think french diminuitive) and change the last vowel for the 2nd one.

1:25 pm

mtnjock

the re7 and en7 are based off of the tr5 (which you might give a dog for obeying a command)!

1:25 pm

mtnjock

tr7 is the person knocking at your door on halloween they are trick or tr*****s...

1:26 pm

tbear

guys..miyavi fan not on yet then? all these bananas!!

1:26 pm

mtnjock

if you are next in line, its your turn next (te4) and if I get fired I am termin***d (add together)

1:26 pm

roncook

got the first en already

1:27 pm

Haz1558

She has been on already and is overcome...

1:27 pm

mtnjock

If I turn on the sprinklers in my yard, they shoot wa5, and I am the one that does this (the doer)

1:28 pm

mtnjock

re, en and tr are based off of the very first tr5/10 (trick or tr***)

1:28 pm

tbear

Really....poor thing I'd love it if it was done for me....funny bunny

1:29 pm

EvaNadine

any clues for the 9?

1:30 pm

mtnjock

are these clues helping ron?

1:30 pm

mtnjock

qu9 is a musical 4 some (again french diminutive suffix applied)!

1:30 pm

roncook

got al them except the en not tr***
still having trouble with the ar,s

1:31 pm

EvaNadine

thanks mtnjock -- never seen it spelled that way!

1:32 pm

mtnjock

If I come through the front door, not exit but en5 (one who does it, the doer)

1:32 pm

EvaNadine

ron -- En7 -- the person who walks into a room.

1:33 pm

mtnjock

now the ar's are french, same ending as the 9 based off of the musical aria (type of composition, but small, petite, like a novelette, and you change the last letter)

1:33 pm

roncook

mtnjock
magic will flog through the ar,s maybe monkey type.
ta again

1:33 pm

Miyavi_fan

Moshimoshi :D

1:34 pm

tbear

Miy....how was school?

1:34 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey, I still spy a few bananas...you minxes :)

1:35 pm

mtnjock

ron, save the monkey typing, it killed me and pay close attention... ARIa (but small, like a novelETTE)

1:35 pm

tbear

what do you mean Miy,been an Andy Warhol fan for hours!!!

1:35 pm

DarleenMB

I'm baack. Where's all the banannas?

1:35 pm

mab

Moshi moshi to you Miyavi fan. So, how was your day?

1:36 pm

mtnjock

kina like a woman's name harietta or hariette, I don't know the correct spellings...

1:36 pm

tbear

Harriet

1:36 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Bear :) They switched our unit just at the last minute...instead we did eating disorders :/ They're waiting until Spring, when all the year nines are frisky, to teach us to protect bananas against STI's and unwanted pregnancy

1:37 pm

mtnjock

there was a big clue in there tbear... LOL >:) <evil grin>

1:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey to Mab also :) My day was saved at the last minute by some anorexic and obese people. Still got that particularly icky unit coming up, but for now, a reprieve. How are you?

1:37 pm

Anj

Greetings & salutations Babblers : D

1:37 pm

tbear

Sounds like a good lesson to me......off to search for a pic of Kate Moss.....hahaha

1:37 pm

Yoink

No banana should have the pressures of pregnancy thrust upon it.

Hi folks

1:38 pm

harpjane

do the last two er's have the same root as er8?

1:38 pm

roncook

mtnjock
cheers mate got them at last only 30 to go will stop at 2000hrs gmt and sink a few beers,or a martini or two.!!

1:38 pm

mab

Oh, that's too funny Miyavi! (but of course very serious). So, hungry? We've got fruit.

1:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Anj :) You were in on it as well, then...

1:39 pm

mab

'Evening, Anj.

1:40 pm

Anj

Miy, the lure of Banana Tuesday was too much to resist.

Pity they gave you Eating Disorders instead lol. Anything juicy, like a good barium meal x-ray in there then??

1:40 pm

mtnjock

en5 (last one) is a type of form to gain en***, and if you are in a contest you are an en6 (2 vowels on end)

1:41 pm

tbear

mtnjock....ur gunna have to STOP giving me these lovely clues...... ;)

1:41 pm

Anj

Hi Mab :) Hey, we had a good bunch on here this afternoon : D

1:42 pm

Jen

Okay, after yesterday and today, I am really starting to hate words that begin with the letter T!!!!!

1:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

Anj, unfortunately not. Just a lot of shouting across the classroom, I was called anorexic a few times :/ (er...I'm not, by the way) Some particularly icky pictures of anorexic women though...*shudders*
Mab, not funny! Not funny!!! It is obscene to make teenagers put condoms on bananas! And stupid to think we could do it without laughing, throwing them across the room, etc...

1:43 pm

mtnjock

tbear, after 30 minutes of trying to monkey type some of these, I would rather protect the sanity of some babblers... ANJ you bartending today?

1:43 pm

mab

Only the ripest and most choice.

1:44 pm

torgone

How serendipitous that the lesson was eating disorders, and we all came armed with yummy bananas. Bananas have lots of potassium, which your body needs for making road flares and luminous paint ..

1:44 pm

tbear

Miy...couldn
t find an anorexic banana so got a fat guitar playing one instead..refresh honey...

1:45 pm

mtnjock

I even changed my icon for you Miy

1:45 pm

tbear

torgone i do worry about you....AND how's the little fella?

1:45 pm

Anj

Miy, the skeleton in flesh-coloured tights pics huh?
Bet they were sponsored by the Golden Arches...
I mean we all need the main food groups...meat, fruit, veg, choccy and beer :)

1:46 pm

I think, Miyavi, it would be most unnatural not to laugh and throw things about while in the midst of such an activity. We support you in your yet to come humiliation.

1:46 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yoink, I agree totally. Then again, bananas aren't really very frisky creatures, I don't think we should give them protection against pregnancy, there may not be enough baby bananas for the world.

1:46 pm

nk this about sums up miyavi's supposed-be-lesson for today:

Anj

Evening Torgone : ) I see you've brought the whole gang
: D

1:47 pm

mtnjock

we will do this in 2 parts ron, first part rhymes with turn, and 2nd part is past tense of 'to eat'

1:47 pm

tbear

mtnjock...for protecting my sanity (bit late!!) I can offer you a glass of good red or a g&t (Anj'll warn you about the strength of these but rest assured I'm still here....lol

1:48 pm

torgone

Thanks tbear. He's pretty much 100% now.

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi again, everyone....miyavi, actually i did read that there is some sort of blight on bananas and there is talk of their becoming endangered.....

1:48 pm

Miyavi_fan

Thanks Bear :D
Anj, you left out marshmallows and ramen! (er...not both together...although...)
Mab, I just hope I don't get hit by a flying contraceptive missile! It's happened before, it'll happen again...
Evandine, I don't want to see what's in that link!

1:49 pm

mtnjock

thank you tbear, I was hoping to sip on some aquavit (water of life) here soon!

1:50 pm

roncook

mtnjock thanks again
, my one brain cell is not on stream today, got that one

1:50 pm

Miyavi_fan

...Now THIS link I love. The ultimate fan video...not too keen on the song they used, but it sums up well :D

http://www.youtube.com/? v=OliKVY_LskM

1:50 pm

Anj

mtn, Bear practises the art of bucket chemistry where g&ts are concerned : )

1:51 pm

tbear

mntjock...water is best called Adams Ale,at least then it doesn't sound too healthy

1:51 pm

Smeltzdog

miya - I think you left before I could tell you what I thought of the ramen and mayo.

It was terrible. The trash can even spit it back out.

1:52 pm

tbear

Anj...u forgot to add....and stays standing!! Please!!

1:52 pm

Anj

woot! just licked the an8 : )

1:52 pm

mtnjock

aquavit is a liquour that is best served from the freezer and sipped on the rocks, quite potent!

1:53 pm

torgone

Did the an8 enjoy it?

1:53 pm

snowyowl

OOH Anj don't you'll get hair on your tongue!

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

any hints for the 2 qu7/40s not the coin?...please?...

1:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

Smeltz, not many other people like it. I think I subconsciously forced myself to like it when I saw Shinya of Dir en Grey eating some.

1:54 pm

tbear

mtnjock...will it cure my cold and if yes can i have some...please

1:54 pm

mtnjock

72 Temple Owl

1:54 pm

Jen

mtnjock, have you tried limoncello straight out of the freezer? It's to die for! (and if you drink enough of it, you'll feel like dying the next day too!)

1:55 pm

mtnjock

1:55 pm

MaryJo24

Does anyone have a clue for en 8/50?? Please

1:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

well save it. buddy...i HAD that one...so there ; p

1:56 pm

mtnjock

I have not heard of limoncello, sounds wonderful, vodka derivative?

1:57 pm

mtnjock

if you have the tr6 based off of the tr5 (beginning of list), then the en7 comes naturally, as thent he en8 based off of "trick or tr***"

1:57 pm

Jen

Depends on how you make it or the type you buy. I make mine with a recipe I got in Italy... lemon rinds soaked in Everclear and a simple syrup. Some people make it with vodka tho.

1:57 pm

Anj

Of course, I aim to please :)

1:58 pm

tbear

Gimme gimme gimme and while ur there what's the ending to the qu8...tried every poss last letter and it isn't happening...pls...I am ill!!

1:58 pm

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty, mt jock! : )

1:59 pm

torgone

tbear - There's no qu8.

1:59 pm

mtnjock

tbear, think the ending for the ar7 words (french diminutive) for the qu9 (I couldn't find a qu8)

1:59 pm

mab

Just a big fat 9.

1:59 pm

Anj

Temple, check out my profile for the latest additions to the Fish family :)

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

Later Bear :)
Anj, he's not gay! Very camp, but not gay. His backing guitarist was onstage, all the fans were yelling "kiss! kiss! kiss!" so he, er...did...

2:16 pm

mab

Well, Miy, assuming the performer is Japanese, I would say he is kissing other men as a comment on, or reaction to the traditional Japanese taboo on being touchy feely.

2:17 pm

mab

Or, he's gay.

2:17 pm

EasternBlue

mab - love the headgear : )

2:17 pm

Anj

Hurshy, think CZJ in Darling Buds of May and drop the M

2:18 pm

mab

Thanks, EB. Love your song and dance banana.

2:18 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mab, you're probably right there...though it could just be fanservice, a lot of the bands I like tend to do that. In fact...all of the bands I like do that! *thinks* Toshiya kissed Shinya, Miyavi kissed Sakito, Bou kissed that guy, Meguru kissed Tara...oooh dear...

2:18 pm

Anj

Miy, we will put it down to performance art and move swiftly on : D

2:23 pm

mtnjock

a friend just IM'd me and said to post my clues for 7 and above for her, she is trying to finish for the first time without a2z or morewords!

2:27 pm

Anj

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

2:52 pm

mtnjock

fights urge to counter eastern with "skimbleshanks the railway cat..."

Oh, Joel. I think if the dots were connected for her she would readily understand, but why? It's too vulgar really in the explaining, and was too vulgar to begin with. I think I would let it lie. There is no social import in spelling it out.

te5 above the gull sounds like some mad Latin plural for what a Hammer horror film might make you feel. That's rather obscure, isn't it? Think 'te' + Sun King + singular personal pronoun.

5:38 pm

Karys

lola...the ae....to put air in something

5:38 pm

lola100

Hey dachef, if you open one here...can I have a job?? lol! :)

5:38 pm

MayanWarrior

ae6: They do it to sewage...

5:39 pm

Babbler

I still need the te5/10......... directly above the te4/4 gull..... *whimpers* :'(

5:39 pm

lola100

Thanks karys and mayan :)

5:40 pm

Jacula

Babbler - I gave you a clue for that ages ago. Dodn't you get it?

5:41 pm

Babbler

*sobs* no, Jacs......... : (

5:41 pm

lola100

babs, te plus sun god plus vowel.

5:42 pm

brandyjack

Nice easy clues eh?

5:42 pm

Jacula

te5 above the gull sounds like some mad Latin plural for what a Hammer horror film might make you feel. That's rather obscure, isn't it? Think 'te' + Sun King + singular personal pronoun.

5:42 pm

Babbler

*checked Jacs clue again........ well, I say again, I totally missed it the first time around.......... oops!......... have it now (!!) *

thx Lola :)

5:43 pm

Jacula

BJ. Hello! PUT THAT THING AWAY! ROFLOL.

5:43 pm

MayanWarrior

an 5-10's are very similar... first kinda greek sounding, second similar but french...Both are rather "cavey" but the first is human anatomy, second geological.

5:43 pm

Babbler

I knew someone would pick THAT icon!!! lol !!

Hello Brandyjack :)

5:43 pm

Jacula

*Thinks. 'Just as well I changed my icon!'*

5:43 pm

Karys

hello brandyjack....thak you so much for all your work...would never complete without you !!!! xx

5:44 pm

Anj

Ah a fine upstanding icon I see : )

5:44 pm

brandyjack

Well, you know, when I run Firefox, all I see is my big ugly mug. It's only when I run explorer that that thing shows up. Although, I guess you guys all see it all the tiime.

5:44 pm

Jacula

Babbler - I say again? You sound like Fred Elliott from Corrie. It was so funny when he scared Mavis's budgie half to death.

5:45 pm

Jacula

BJ - You should move your webcam up a bit higher. LOL.

5:46 pm

Babbler

I love Corrie, Jac!!! I've missed these last few days, must catch up .............. Missed the budgie scene, I think I'd have liked that. Still reeling over Orchid / Our Kid.... LOL!

5:46 pm

gramma

IIIIII'm Baaaaack! Nice banana Brandyjack. I tried to download that 1 earlier and couldn't. Just as well. Probably not appropriate for an old lady. But, it is very funny.

5:46 pm

brandyjack

It's right on the same level as my mind.......

5:46 pm

lola100

Thanks mayan, got them :)

5:47 pm

brandyjack

Well, I see Mab at least followed my suggestion that the ladies put on Orchid's......... More appropriate in my somewhat limited view.....

5:49 pm

mab

I had a banana chapeau, jack, but changed into more comfortable petals. So true, there is little that is more blatantly sexual than orchids. I sport a rather demur one here.

5:49 pm

lola100

Please help with the ar5/10? :)

5:50 pm

Jacula

True, Jack, or certain sorts of seafood. Thing is, all this was for a 13-year-old.

5:51 pm

Jacula

Lola - ar5/10 - A sharp, narrow mountain ridge or spur.

Add the 1st vowel to an re4/4.

5:52 pm

Anj

...woot! : D All words shot, stuffed and mounted

5:52 pm

brandyjack

In which case the symbolism was probably lost on her... Don't know why I was thinking she was older than that....

5:52 pm

lola100

Thanks jacs, could have sworn I tried that! :)

5:52 pm

lola100

Woo! Well done babe :) xxx

5:53 pm

Babbler

bravo Anj !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

5:53 pm

Karys

well done Anj !!

5:53 pm

Jacula

Anj - well done!

Lola - glad you got it. Any more you need?

Jack - hopefully, it was. One never knows these days.

5:54 pm

harpjane

So. Are ANY of the AT words common words? I need a clue or two to get going, I guess. I have the 5 and that's it.

5:55 pm

Anj

Cheers : ) This one was another struggle today : /

5:55 pm

lola100

jacs, yes please! The first and third qu6/27, and the first qu5/16?

5:55 pm

Jacula

On the stroke of midnight (UK) I shall stop coughing up those bananas I accidentally inhaled from the brown paper bag earlier during my panic attack when my words all disapearred.

5:55 pm

lola100

Oh! just got the qu5! :)

5:56 pm

Jacula

Or even *disappeared.LOL.

5:56 pm

Anj

Harp, doesn't look like it.
At6 - whe you concentrate on something you pay at.......
Lose the electrically charged particle : )

5:57 pm

Karys

lola...the other one is French for four

5:57 pm

Jacula

Lola - add a vowel to the end of your qu5 milk measure for the qu 6/27.

5:58 pm

Jacula

Karys has given you the clue for the other one, Lola.

5:58 pm

Anj

Another at6/18 - clothes, threads, gladrags

Security's favourite saying: "You are not wearing the proper at...." (which are usually the last words you hear before getting buried under 500lbs of steaming beef)

5:58 pm

Dachef

congrsts anj!

These icons are getting rather symbolic, Jac and BJ esp. In fact, they are getting a bit fruity. (fruity - geddit?)

5:59 pm

Anj

Cheers Dachef. Well they do say we should get 5 portions a day : D

5:59 pm

Jacula

LOL, Anj!

Yes, DaChef (Hi!) - Get it.

6:00 pm

Babbler

*eyes on the list.......... having a tanny anyway........*

6:00 pm

Karys

Anj

6:02 pm

Anj

Babbler - re5 your subscription?

6:03 pm

Jacula

Babbler - What Anj said and also to reapply water to something.

6:03 pm

Anj

...and I hate to tell you this, but there isn't another re5/18 : /

6:03 pm

Babbler

*sniff* that might have been one of 'em........
*stifles a sob*

6:03 pm

snowyowl

Hi all - back from the pub quiz which we lost - again! Have no hope of finishing but thought I'd be here for feline Wednesday!

Babbler

6:05 pm

Babbler

6:05 pm

Dachef

Hi Snowy!!!!

:)

6:05 pm

brandyjack

Mab, subtlety is completely lost on me.......

6:05 pm

harpjane

OK, since the at 6/30 is NOT atweet, I guess I need a clue. Sounds like it should be a word, don't you agree?

6:05 pm

mab

That is apparent!

6:06 pm

Anj

Harp, change the T to an N : )

6:06 pm

lola100

karys and jacs, thanks but I've got that qu6/27. I'm missing the first and third.

6:06 pm

harpjane

Never mind, monkeytyped it. Now I'm all atweet!

6:07 pm

hurshy

lola - first qu6/27 - you should know first three letters. then add "able was i ___ i saw elba"

6:08 pm

Anj

Lola, change the last two consonants in the 2nd q6/27 around to get the 3rd q6/27

6:08 pm

hurshy

third qu 6/27 - french for four

6:08 pm

mamabear

6:09 pm

Karys

6:09 pm

hurshy

6:17 pm

Babbler

Mamabear, *sobs*, this game's really horrible and I can't see any words and all the words are really really horrible and none of them mean anything and and *sobs sobs* and and and I only got 127 words and it's not FAIR !!! :'(

6:17 pm

Jacula

I'm still trying to type recipes here, in between reading the log, greeting hom-coming children, trying not to wake up sleeping partner (upstairs) and checking if the newly-mended tumble dryer is working.

6:17 pm

EasternBlue

Heya Hurshy...

Hi Mamabear *Big Hug*

6:17 pm

hurshy

oh, poor babs. ask for clues, honey. i'm done.

6:18 pm

Babbler

EB, I are mostly having a tanny....... :'(

6:18 pm

Karys

aaaahhh...mama....be alright in a minute...hug ...hugz

6:18 pm

Jacula

Babs - stop being like a bloke not asking for directions and ASK FOR CLUES!

6:18 pm

EasternBlue

Poor, poor Babs...this one's a toughie...too many dag-nab repeating letters!!

there, there...here's a hankie...

6:19 pm

hurshy

we all know it's a doozy. it's not just you babs.

6:19 pm

Babbler

No, Jac!! If they can do it, then I can do it toooooo!
*sobs sobs stomp stomp stomp*

oh ok, well maybe I'll ask for a few clues........ if nobody minds? : )

6:19 pm

mamabear

Hiya EB, Tbug, Hurshy, Lola, mab, Karys, Jacula, Dachef, BJ (like your icon!) ... anybody I miss??? Then hi to you too!!! *bear hugs to All**
I could cry too, Babbler.... only have 39 so far.... thinking of taking up archery instead.

6:20 pm

Jacula

Oh blimey! Just as well we got a job-lot of bog rolls from MAKRO the other week. They come in handy as tissues. LOL.

6:20 pm

hurshy

babs - we did it by asking for clues. :)

6:20 pm

Tbug

64 left to find here... not so motivated, chat is better! :)

6:21 pm

Jacula

*Holds Bab tight* (which is the best way to put an end to tantrums, unless they are of the breath-holding kind. Best 'cure' for those kind are dipping the bum of the 'tantrumee' into a bowl of very cold water.

6:21 pm

Babbler

I know, hurshy *sniffle sniffle*, I've been looking at them too, but I often find if a clue isn't directed at me, I don't get it.... : /

6:21 pm

Karys

thats all folks !!!...ni nite .....see you tomorrow !!!...(hopefully!)......xxx

6:22 pm

EasternBlue

Nitey nite Karys

6:22 pm

hurshy

6:22 pm

Jacula

Night Karys The Innocent. :-)

6:22 pm

6:22 pm

Babbler

*sobs* have you finished too Karys? bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

6:23 pm

mamabear

This puzzle has 14 vowels.... as vowel movements go, I think that constitutes diarrhea.

6:23 pm

artlady

Sleep tight, Karys.

6:23 pm

Babbler

that's right EB!! I'm under the influence of sickness, Beechams and now red wine....... ok the red wine is self-inflicted........

6:23 pm

brandyjack

Jacs, us guys won't ask for directions cause our wives are all too ready to tell us where to go............

6:23 pm

artlady

Didn't we have one with only 4 vowels recently?

6:23 pm

hurshy

snowyowl

LOL Jacula must remember that for the 2 year old who is having the ' terrible ' 2s really badly at the moment!

6:24 pm

Jacula

Jac (in black leather gear) stands sternly over Babbler and tells her having the sniffles is no excuse for having a tantrum. Yes, it's hard to concentrate when you have a cold, but WE WILL HELP. NOW GET A GRIP, girl! LOL.

6:24 pm

EasternBlue

Mama!! LOL

6:24 pm

Babbler

*accepts hurshy's hanky, blows nose prrprprprrprprth - that's a rubbish blowy nose noise but you know what I mean*

6:24 pm

evanonut

6:25 pm

harpjane

Qu 5/18?

6:25 pm

Jacula

SnowyOwl - I had a friend who had a baby that used to hold her breath until she turned blue and passed out. The bum in the bowl of cold water thing soon put a stop to it!

6:25 pm

artlady

Are you getting any better, Babbler?

6:25 pm

hurshy

qu 5/18 a line that you wait in

6:25 pm

Babbler

hey Jac, I couldn't borrow that suit sometime, could I?? lol!

*much cheerier now* : )

6:25 pm

Tbug

brandyj... our brooms come with directions.

6:26 pm

Jacula

BJ - yea, right! Try some sweeter grapes.x

6:26 pm

Babbler

dunno artlady, I'm dosed up on Beechams (dunno what you call it over there, do you have Lemsip?). I hope so. Hurts to laugh though..... : )

6:26 pm

EasternBlue

6:26 pm

Woot! Well done babe : ) The usual? ; )

6:27 pm

hurshy

6:27 pm

artlady

Bab, hurting to laugh is not good.
Terrific, Lola!!!

6:27 pm

hurshy

oh let me! champers, lola?

6:27 pm

snowyowl

just typed anytea into the word box- think my subconscious is trying to tell me something?

6:27 pm

evanonut

whoa, didn't expect it to take that word!

6:28 pm

Jacula

WELL DONE LOLA!x

Babbler - borrow the suit? Of course you can. It'll be size 8 for both of us, I know.

6:28 pm

evanonut

not anytea, but a crass word

6:28 pm

snowyowl

congrats Lola!!!!!!!

6:28 pm

lola100

*lola takes glass of champers from hurshy and allows Anj to gently slow dance her around the room*

6:28 pm

Babbler

evan - would that be the tw/4 word????? : )

6:28 pm

Jacula

Evanout's just found the tw4/8 word.

6:28 pm

Anj

6:29 pm

Babbler

*snorts* it deffo will be for me, Jac !!! LOL!! : )

6:29 pm

evanonut

right on jacula, ya know, i didn't think that was a real word.

6:30 pm

Jacula

Anj - You haven't got time to stand around being surprised, you're supposed to be dancing with Lola.

*Gives Anj a shove onto the dancefloor.*

6:30 pm

Anj

Size 8?? Come on, there would be more meat on a butcher's biro : /

6:31 pm

Babbler

ok, tanny over......... :' )

the Q words I'm missing: the first two on the list, the qu5 directly below the q9, and the very last qu5, at the bottom of the list.

: D *big beaming smile*

6:31 pm

evanonut

hmmm...i'm not ashamed of my size 12, matter of fact, i look goofy otherwise.

6:31 pm

Jacula

Anj - I was kidding about the size 8.

6:32 pm

hurshy

qu4 - almost like bridge over the river ____

6:32 pm

Babbler

yeah Anj............ actually, me too.......... ; )

6:32 pm

hurshy

qu 5 below qu9 chop first letter off eq6

6:33 pm

hurshy

last qu5 homonym of a group that sings in church

6:33 pm

hurshy

first qu6, after the first 3 letters, add poetic word for before

6:34 pm

Anj

lol : )

6:34 pm

hurshy

see, babs, everything will be ok. :) *pats babs on back*

6:34 pm

Jacula

On a serious note, it was seeing Miyavi say she'd had a class about slimming illnesses rather than the sex ed class (teacher wimped out, I guess?). So, is her school trying to show her that bulimia, anorexia etc., in all their forms, plus overeating illnesses, are NOT the way to go? If so, are they making sure that they don't talk about 'good' and 'bad' foods in their so-called 'nutrition' lessons? I ask this, as some of you may know, because schools got it VERY wrong 8-10 years' ago and it resulted in my own daughter becoming anorectic.

6:35 pm

Babbler

*cough cough*....... thanks hurshy :' )

6:35 pm

evanonut

jacula, as a bit of a cynic, i don't think the schools will ever get it right.

6:36 pm

Jacula

evanout - I think you are right.

6:36 pm

hurshy

ok, i would just like to know why a person would tell a person to meet them at 7, but then sign out of their AIM account at 6:52 and not come back, and not even leave a person any message explaining why.

6:36 pm

Anj

...pack lunches all round then.. : )

6:36 pm

EasternBlue

Jacula - lets hope they do...too many young girls going that route...whatever happened to "Reubenesque?"

6:36 pm

speedfreak

Jacula Sadly since schools do not pay for trained health teachers the students will not get the right info...

6:37 pm

periwinkle

clue for the ne6 please

6:37 pm

Jacula

Hurshy - give that person a chance first - maybe they just got cut off 'tinternet'?

6:38 pm

evanonut

part of the problem is that such subjects are not one size fits all.

6:38 pm

Anj

Easter, it got bad PR. Nowadays, if you're not a racing snake, no-one wants to know.
Now me, I like dangerous curves and i'm never going to change : D

6:38 pm

EasternBlue

Hi Peri!

6:38 pm

clue for the ne6 please

6:38 pm

evanonut

peri - bball player

6:38 pm

Anj

Peri, someone catching fish?

6:39 pm

hurshy

ne6 - in tennis, if a ball doesn't go over you might call it a ne6

6:39 pm

EasternBlue

Anj - luckily my husband is the same way! : D

6:39 pm

hurshy

lol, i love how we all have different thoughts about these words

6:41 pm

joelgee

hey, eb. how you doing?

6:42 pm

Jacula

Message to those who've answered mine about schools meddling in so-called health care. If the teachers don't have the right knowledge they should NOT attempt to teach the subject. Yes, I know, I know! I have many friends who teach, who have been bullied into teaching subject in order to keep their jobs. That should be stopped! Sorry, but I feel very strongly about this. BTW, for anyone who wants to know, today is 23rd November, 2 years to the day since my Dad died in a nursing home, choked to death by nurses who didn't have enough training to know that in the latter stages of Alzheimer's Disease the swallow reflex goes and so any fluid administered by mouth goes straight to the lungs.

SORRY!

6:42 pm

Babbler

hurshy, I didn't get your clue for the last qu5, the homonym for singers........ :/

6:42 pm

evanonut

don't you hate when you have been staring at this thing for an hour and suddenly a super obvious word jumps out, does a little jig and laughs at you?

6:43 pm

Jacula

Anj - re being a bloke who likes dangerous curves - you're in the majority there, as far as I can tell, and THANK GOD for that! Most men are more sensible than most so-called 'medics'.

6:43 pm

Jacula.... that is very sad. I am so sorry for you.

sorry for your loss, jacula. Sorry for the ignorance that caused it.

6:46 pm

Anj

Jac, sorry to hear that : (

Unfortunately, it's an all-too-common malaise in all business nowadays. Why employ a specialist for something that might not happen? It's all about the figs at the bottom of the balance sheet and it sucks. There's no human factor any more.

OK, soapbox away.

6:46 pm

Jacula

Thanks folks, re my Dad. Maybe the staff did know and thought they were doing us a favour? They sure seemed very casual when they said he'd died of 'pneumonia related to fluid in the lungs'. I got there just after he died, I could see he had choked to death. Anyway, no need for me to say all that on here. It's a sad time for me and maybe I shouldn't be commenting.

6:48 pm

mab

I can certainly sympathize with anniversaries -- lost my mother some 30 years ago this month, as well as grandmother (about three weeks after mother). I was 18, can't believe it's been that long. Sorry Jacs for your loss, so sad.

6:49 pm

Hey Everybody. How is everyone doing tonight?

6:50 pm

Tbug

harking back to 7th grade... coed sex ed - late 80's, teacher wasnt really allowed to state her own morals/ethics/viewpoints i guess, so we mostly watched movies, discussed in groups and our teacher seemed was just there to make sure we used the 'correct terms'. i was fortunate to have parents who were open bout such subjects, and i was fairly comfortable talking within my groups... so the teacher would put me in front of the class and ask all sorts of things, because she couldnt say much herself (she admitted it when i confronted her) teachers have a very tough job...

6:50 pm

snowyowl

goodnight Lola - sweet dreams.
Jacula - annniversaries are hard to bear - tomorrow is my grandmothers, the use of untrained staff to do anything is wrong and it happens more and more in this country. My dughter does supply teaching and is losing work because schools are using classroom assistants to cover absent teachers. She says ' Well why did I spend 3 years getting a degree and a year doing a PGSE? I may as well have got no qualifications and I'd at least have some work@

SnowyOwl - I know what you are saying (and not saying) re all that. Exactly! My son's at Uni right now, final year (or maybe another to go if he decides to extend his degree) and daughter is in art college, catching up 'A' level wise after her illness, and hopes to to to Uni next year.

6:59 pm

Jacula

Lol, Snowy!

OHRO (Juicy person) - The banana theme was for our 13-year-old friend Miyavi_Fan who was due to have her first sex-ed lesson today (in UK). However, when she came home from school, it turned out the teacher had wimped out and turned it into a 'slmming illnesses - Bulimia' lesson instead. She'll get the lesson on the various forms of latex and how to apply them, using bananas etc., in January now, it seems.

Snowy's gone now, I know, whilst I was off sorting out laundry from the working washing machine (but not spinning properly 'cos the clothes are too wet at the end. Despite all guidance from the book, the filter cannot be found!:-() Also been retrieving clothes from the newly mended tumble dryer. The heating element had gone kaput.

ur 6/21, please -- the definition isn't helping!

7:20 pm

Jacula

et6/18 means it begins 'et' has 6 letters and is worth 18 points. 6-letter words are worth 3-times the original point value. But back to the word - you may get an 'eter****' ring when you have your first baby or before a guy feels he really wants to get engaged to you. The word you seek is something to do with that 'never dying' thing.

EB: literally. : ) I don't imagine that my putting on a pair of ice skates will end well. Knowing how klutzy I am, I will probably cut the cute guy's leg with the skate or knock his teeth out as he tubles to the ground. If you are watching the news this weekend and you hear the news guys say "a fun family night out ends tragically as a woman knocks down 15 other skaters", that is probably me. lol

9:19 pm

kakamolaka

9:19 pm

Charm

9:28 pm

Jacula

LOl. ANy more for any more afore I take my leave?

9:31 pm

mab

Jacula, forever in your debt for the other oa5 that doesn't mean an old western?

9:34 pm

mab

Oh, finally got it!

9:34 pm

LeslieAnn

mab, change the last letter

9:36 pm

Jacula

oa meaning and old Western? I'm stumped. LOL.

9:37 pm

grigs

jac- it's slang for the type of opera the western might be.

9:37 pm

Jacula

oa5's in today's grid - a couple of porridge related ones, an a freshwater mammal one, name of Tarka.

9:38 pm

Jacula

Mind you, there are seawater versions of that mammal.

9:39 pm

mab

Probably an americanism, Jac, it's a common crossword word.

9:42 pm

Jacula

Would that be the en croute word, or the er, not quite decied word?

9:43 pm

allstartwithX

Down to my last three. Any clues for:
te 7/28
te 6/24
and last te 5/10

9:44 pm

Jacula

s for the mammal, that's an ot word, I've been away seing to laundry and typing up recipes, and drinking white wine. It is late, I am tired, and a little pissed. Time I went. Not time I stay here to give clues.xxx

9:44 pm

Narnia_fan

9:45 pm

I haven't been paying attention to the log; I have the word I was looking for. Thank you.

9:46 pm

Jacula

TTFN all.xx

9:52 pm

LeslieAnn

te 7/28 think to fire and take out the mi in the middle

9:55 pm

allstartwithX

LeslieAnn - great clue. Got it. Now just need the te 5/10 just below that and above the lock jaw sounding one.

9:56 pm

moorheit

take your 4/4 that's above the 7/28 and add an "e" to the end

9:56 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't have the lock jaw one but the te 5 sounds like that nintendo game where you have to fit all the puzzle pieces together (with a different ending)

9:56 pm

Smeltzdog

*hovering*

9:59 pm

allstartwithX

oooops... wrong 5/10. got the one you suggested. need the one above the te** bird and below the camping house.

10:00 pm

mab

For the lockjaw word, just take off the 'us' and add 'y.'

10:00 pm

LeslieAnn

well, that would be the one i'm missing as well :)

10:00 pm

Jacula

Smeltzdog - only females hover over public loos. Read my joke in babanon. If not, then you must be a UFO. And I'm going now...

10:03 pm

moorheit

X - not convinced this is a word, but its your camping house made into an adjective

10:03 pm

Jacula

te7/28 - seabird + 'devoured'.

10:05 pm

grigs

can i get the ne 5/14?

10:06 pm

Jacula

As for the 3rd, I

10:07 pm

Jacula

As for the third, I think, te5 - if you kept fish in tank, you would at least recognisew that name for 'a group of four' from a brand name.

10:09 pm

allstartwithX

I've got the te 5/14 adjective of the camp house. Need the te 5/10 just below it.

10:10 pm

Jacula

ne5/14 - a lace'like network, Failing that, if you know the Geordie word for outside toilet, you may welll get the clue...lyrics...'Geordie's lost his liggy, Geordie's lost his liggy (Marble), he's lost it doon the ne***, along the Scotswood Road.@

10:11 pm

grigs

thanks, jac- i really should have gotten that one, shouldn't i?

10:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:17 pm

paperdoll

Hello!
Could someone give me a hint for the last re 5/18 please?

10:18 pm

Jacula

Paperdoll - re5/18 - to moisten once again.

10:18 pm

paperdoll

D'oh!
Thanks Jac!

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

So is everyone tonight?

10:19 pm

LeslieAnn

huzzah! i am done. any clues before i leave?

10:19 pm

GreyWoulf

OOPS! HOW is everyone tonight? :)

10:21 pm

Jacula

Paperdoll - you need a cat icon nowm not a banana one, Our 13-yr-old is asleep and our much younger person who's requested a cat icon day may be up sooner than any pf us think, including Jera. LOL.

10:22 pm

paperdoll

I can't keep up with the icons!!!

off to google cats... :)

10:22 pm

Jacula

Excuse typing errors - am tired and a bit pissed.

10:22 pm

SashaJo

Wouldn't you describe the skin of one who has warts as 'wartty'?

10:23 pm

GreyWoulf

typos forgiven, Jac -- anything worth talking about?

10:23 pm

JoyLee

any help withthe 9 letter word?

10:23 pm

Jacula

No, SashaJo, I'd tale a 't' out.

10:23 pm

LeslieAnn

think about respelling that, sasha

10:24 pm

grigs

the 9 letter word is the 7 letter above it, but with girls....

10:24 pm

LeslieAnn

joy, start with a musical foursome + consonant + vowel

10:25 pm

Jacula

The 9-letter word. Add the French word for 'tea' to a group of 4. It's a 'qu' word.

10:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

jacs: can you plese explain what "geordie" is? : )

10:27 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - any gossip worth giving on here - well read back. LOL. You may have to imagine icons in place at the time, since we kept changing them.

10:28 pm

Jacula

A Geordie is someone from Newcastle Upon Tyne in North of UK.

10:28 pm

JoyLee

thanks leslie ann

10:28 pm

GreyWoulf

I'll do that, Jac :)

hints for the ar7's?

10:29 pm

Jacula

If you need to find what I was talking about re Geordie and his liggie (or liggy) then Google Lindisfarne 'Fog On The Tyne' lyrics.

10:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty jacs...ever since i heard it in "sailing to america" by mark knoeffler i've wondered...gee this game is soooooooo educational : )

10:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

jacs - what's got your ire up?

10:32 pm

Jacula

The ar 7's, are, as I've said before, really easy for opera buffs. Failing that, if you've ever read Mary Norton's books (The Borrowers) or seen the films of them, then me telling 'Pod's daughter's name, sort of' may help.

10:34 pm

grigs

jac, have i mentioned lately that you give great clues... except i never get it from the "easy" ones at the start :/

10:34 pm

Jacula

Temple Owl - I don't know what you meant really. Read back on the log for what anniversary it is for me maybe? Didn't think it was showing now though. Just giving clues for Lindisfarne lyrics as far as I'm aware.

10:34 pm

grigs

All I can hear in my head right now is that Kylie song, 'Can't Get You Out of My Head'. Unfortunately, for me it hasme seeing something I don't wanna see, about 10 mins after it happened. Should you actually see someone dead, to 'believe' theyare gone? I'm wondering if you should.
