12:02 am

GreyWoulf

Hey Zubie -- I missed by 6! But not without a fight, thanks to all my fellow Babblers!

12:02 am

beebee

babs- you get this one :)

12:03 am

Jacula

Beebee - thart cli word you asked about is not allowed. LOL.

12:03 am

doxy1lover

still had about 16 to go. Oh well.

12:03 am

zubie

Aww GW! Did you get back too late to complete it? :( Had I known, I'd have logged in earlier to help out! :/

12:04 am

beebee

what are the icons today- i can't remember- what day is it(wed or thurs?)

12:04 am

Uneaixoise

aliens!

12:04 am

harpjane

Is it safe to say "clue" in the chat log?

12:04 am

lottijw

I was thinking the same myself babe!!!!LOL
Ialso spotted your fave drink as my 1st word ((((xx))))

12:04 am

GreyWoulf

No -- well, maybe -- the reality is that I much prefer chatting to hunting and lose track off the time when I log on late ;D

12:04 am

beebee

jac- i know, i can't believe it.

12:05 am

DarleenMB

holy moly 310... ack.

12:06 am

beebee

darleen- i love your stitch

12:06 am

zubie

I see, GW! :D

310?? YIKES!

12:06 am

DarleenMB

yeah. me too! :-)

12:06 am

harpjane

310? I'm outta here! No way I can finish this so I'm not starting!

12:06 am

DarleenMB

I have dozens of stuffed ones all over the house.

12:07 am

harpjane

Too bad, I love my alien-for-the day! Anybody recognize him?

12:07 am

Jacula

Not looked at the grid yet. Other half is far too busy banging in and out of the front door at 6.06am. It seems I should have got him up at 5am??

12:07 am

GreyWoulf

Back in a bit everyone -- time to massage the pregnant wifes back :)

12:07 am

doxy1lover

darleen, I'm that way with eeyore.

12:07 am

DarleenMB

eeyore is a cutie too... but I just adore Stitch.

12:07 am

beebee

bye gw

12:08 am

Schroeder

Hi all, Oh my, 310 words.
Oh well here goes!!!

12:08 am

DarleenMB

oh yeah, by GW. What a nice guy...

12:08 am

doxy1lover

I do like stitch too

12:08 am

DarleenMB

that was supposed to be "bye." Must be time for me to go to sleep.

12:08 am

beebee

harp- who is he- i can't tell, maybe tommy lee jones

12:08 am

Jacula

Wolfie - re the massage. I assume you know kneading the backs of your knuckles into the small of her back brings best relief? Do that when she's in labour also. It stimulates the body's natural prostoglandins (pain-killers). I know, 'cos it worked for me!

12:09 am

Cheesenips

it won't take hiney--- my favorite word :(

12:09 am

chic

mr johnson

12:09 am

DarleenMB

yeah, cheesenips, I already tried that one too. stoopid grid.

12:09 am

chic

or mr smith?

12:10 am

Jacula

Darleen - GW is an Official Babble Gentleman!

12:10 am

beebee

harp- hello

12:10 am

harpjane

He's one of the aliens from X Files.

12:10 am

DarleenMB

Jacula, well I'll say he is!

12:11 am

doxy1lover

He was a good one, harpjane

12:11 am

Cheesenips

won't take mosh

12:11 am

harpjane

doxy, yes he was. I miss that show! Especially the early ones!

12:12 am

beebee

the x-files creep me out

12:12 am

Jacula

LOL, Cheesenips. I tried 'mosh' in by newspaper wordwheel today. That wouldn't take it either.

12:12 am

Schroeder

Cheesenips, thats just wrong, but it does take B7/36

12:14 am

chic

oops! right I thought he was from the Matrix...

12:15 am

Jacula

The X Files was great! I have most of them on video. I only stopped watching it when the stories got really silly and I also feared they might bring Scully and Mulder together. That would have ruined it! The frisson was the thing!

My fave creepy episode, aside from the creeping though slats guy was the one about the man who answered fat girls' lonely hearts ads and then sucked all the fat from them. EURGH!

12:15 am

GreyWoulf

And I am back!

Jac - saw your advice -- and yes I know that trick -- Kirsten says I have 'magic fingers' because they find all the tight spots and hit them just right to loosen them instantly -- high praise considering she's a fully trained masseuse and I am just an amateur ;D

(that's also why I back so soon, she told me to!)

12:16 am

Cheesenips

wow, 310 words!!

12:17 am

lottijw

Could do with meeting him myself Jac!!!! hahaha :)

12:17 am

josiebear1994

hi everyone I am new can someone tell me how to work this account?

12:18 am

doxy1lover

welcome josie

12:18 am

GreyWoulf

*cheeks turning red*
BTW, folks thanks for all the nice stuff you said about me -- I'm just doing what comes naturally, but being recognised for it really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

12:18 am

beebee

hey josie

12:18 am

beebee

welcome back gw- that was quick

12:19 am

beebee

josie- what are you trying to work?

12:19 am

Jacula

Lotti - you would not want to meet that guy, believe me! He was like Dracula only for fat rather than blood. Oh well, at least you'd have died happy with Drac., since he gave you the illusion of sexual pleasure. The fat-sucking guy didn't. As I recall, he just sucked the fat out and killed 'em. I may be wrong though.

12:19 am

doxy1lover

josie, the easiest thing to do is read the rules.

12:20 am

beebee

GW- did you ever get your screen saver/ wall paper up and running?

12:20 am

lottijw

Hi Josie, read babble rules at the top of the page and anything you need to know after that just ask :)

12:21 am

harpjane

Someone named Jacula, who likes an episode about fat sucking? Why am I not surprised?
There are too many for me to pick a favorite. I like the
Christmas theme show with Ed Asner and Lili Tomlin...

12:21 am

GreyWoulf

Yes, beebee -- something corrupted the windows account, my neighbor helped out by creating a new admin account and copying all the files over from the bad one

This weekend I'll be reinstalling the whole operating system to be safe

12:21 am

Jacula

Wolfie - nothing like a warm and fuzzy man to get all the girls stroking him.

Oops, did I just say that? Must be 'cos I have a warm and fuzzy and hairy man myself, when he's not being a Grumpalump.

12:22 am

doxy1lover

lotti, is that Alf?

12:22 am

harpjane

I have all the episodes on tape except the last season. No cable that year. The episodes I saw were so-so that season.

12:22 am

lottijw

Jac...loosing the fat appeals......it`s the being killed bit i`m not too keen on!!!!! I`d have to live a while to show off my new svelt like figure LOL !!!!

12:22 am

beebee

Gw- that sucks, but at least you got someone to help you.

12:23 am

Blaze

Hail to all.... now about that back massage.... It is also good to wrap a rolling pin in a towel and roll it up and down the back.... especially during labor.....

12:23 am

beebee

hey blaze

12:24 am

GreyWoulf

Hi Blaze -- I'll have to remember that one -- though labor is a foregone situation this time around -- it's going to be a planned c-section due to blood pressure and pre-eclampsyia issues with Kristianna

12:25 am

lottijw

It is Doxy...isn`t he great!!!
Jac give grumpalump 69 a stroke from me!!!!(omg i said that out loud)

12:25 am

Blaze

good luck with all

12:25 am

GreyWoulf

Blaze - I forgot to ask earlier -- when is your niece's wedding going to take place?

12:25 am

zubie

Hi Blaze! Hi everyone! [dives back into grid - I should just take a break - 310! Grumble-grumble]

12:26 am

Jacula

Wolfie dear. I'm not sure if you already have children and so have been through the labour scene before? Women react differently to the pain. She may call you all kind of sons of unmarried parents throughout it and tell you she never wants congress with you again, of any form. If that happens, DO NOT take it to heart. She doesn't mean it. She only means those words when she says them again to describe the maternity ward staff who say that old chestnut, 'See you again next year!'

12:26 am

lottijw

Hi Blaze.....Hi Zubie :)

12:26 am

Blaze

probably next year some time...have to get special visa first..

12:26 am

chic

nite, all..see ya on the flip side..

12:27 am

doxy1lover

Jacula, I have been working labor for 12 years and have yet to have a woman say all those things. Still waiting.

12:27 am

Schroeder

Nite Chic!!

12:27 am

Jacula

For myself, I never maligned my husband when giving birth to our 2 kids. But I had a word or two to say to God about his design plan!

12:28 am

doxy1lover

I think the most I've heard is very loudly "Don't touch me"

12:28 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - been there, and, she didn't do any of that -- she mostly whimpered -- she doesn't handle pain well to begin with -- THAT was the part I had trouble dealing with :)

12:30 am

GreyWoulf

After 12 hours of labor - induced at that - the baby got stuck and did not progress any further down the birth canal so they ended up doing a c-section

12:30 am

Jacula

Doxy - glad to see you here. Your Irish Stew recipe is now in place on BabAnon.

Re labour pains etc., have you NEVER had a mother tell you to 'go forth and multiply' after saying, 'See you again next year?' Or has political correctness gone so far that neither party is allowed to make that joke?

12:31 am

doxy1lover

nope, we'll tease them about coming back next year. they usually just say something like dream on, or I don't think so. Most of our mom's get epidural's. Not much pain involved.

12:32 am

Blaze

doxy ... I thought there was more to the story... it's the drug's that mask it all......

12:33 am

doxy1lover

but what good drugs they are!!! :D

12:33 am

GreyWoulf

doxy - 12 years in labor & delivery! -- I take my hat off to you (*hug*)

(*pulls over chair, makes doxy sit, and then starts a foot massage*)
Since Kirsten was an LPN before becoming a stay at home mom, I know the best way to thank a nurse is to rub her feet ;D

12:33 am

doxy1lover

you are my hero today.

12:34 am

zubie

310? It lies! There are no more words than 106! [Grumpy]

12:34 am

GreyWoulf

doxy - with Kirsten - the epidural didn't seem to help at all! They ran the line twice to no avail

12:35 am

doxy1lover

have 80 so far. Have a headache and think I'll turn in for tonight. See you all tomorrow.

12:35 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - didn't we go through this with yesterdays board?
:D

12:35 am

Jacula

Wolfie - I'm kinda sorry to see you saying 'she doesn't handle pain well'. Believe me, YOU have not ever experienced anything approaching the pain of childbirth. The only good thing I can say about the pain, although it it urgent yet unremitting is that you know there is going to be a reward at the end, and that it WILL end. Unlike other types of pain. But the pain, believe me, is horrendous. It think it's there for a reason... it binds mothers and babies together, and parnters also, should they be there. It sets the scenem we've been through a lot, for a family group that stays together. Well, that's God's theory.

12:35 am

Blaze

Zubie just b 5/18 at it......LOL

12:36 am

torgone

Good night kids.
Must go try to sleep.
(((((((((((((((XXXXXXX XXXXXXX))))))))))))))))))))lot ti!
Have a good shower and a nice day. See you later.

12:36 am

doxy1lover

sometimes they just can't get it in the right place for some reason. I've had a couple of patients that we replaced the epidural 3 times before it worked well. I had 4 c-sections myself and had 1 that the epidural didn't work. They put me to sleep.

12:37 am

Blaze

Jac... you forget the pain it self when you hold the baby... you remember the thought of pain....It odes usually give males a lot more respect for us women

12:37 am

beebee

nite torgone- sleep well

12:37 am

zubie

GW - I'm a m4 e4 of myself! ;D

Blaze - b5 at it - on water?! LOL! Isn't it amazing that we get the b4 and the related b5 in the same grid? :D

12:37 am

Jacula

Night, night Torgone.

12:38 am

lottijw

Ok babe goodnight.....with the sweetest of dreams
((((((((((((((((((((((((((XX xxxxxxxxxXX))))))))))))))))))) ))))

12:38 am

torgone

I'll try.

12:38 am

GreyWoulf

Jacula - I am quoting Kirsten when I say that-- she call herself an unahamed wimp re: pain --- personally, I know she puts up with more than I think I could hope to handle on a regular basis, and do not envy her at all --- hence the regular application of 'magic fingers'

12:38 am

zubie

'Night, torgone.

12:39 am

doxy1lover

I think the only reason women do it over again is they forget the pain. There is a saying that if men had to give birth to every other child, there would only be 3 children in any family because they would never repeat it.

12:39 am

Babbler

Exterminate!!!! : D

Just popped in to say I won't be able to play today, (got visitors coming) and grid looks too big anyway. Uneaixoise, was aliens your idea? Happy alien day!!!

: D

12:39 am

Uneaixoise

yes, it was!

12:39 am

beebee

babbler- hope you enjoy your company- have a good day

12:40 am

Schroeder

Have a good day Babbler!!!

12:40 am

Babbler

I put that in my biog, so everyone knows!! :D

12:40 am

lottijw

Oh Babbler :(
Hope the visitors are worth it !!!!! See you soon....

12:40 am

GreyWoulf

Sorry to hear it on one level, Babbler -- but glad to know that its for a (hopefully) happy reason!

12:40 am

doxy1lover

have a good day, will miss you babbler

12:41 am

torgone

The nights are the worst . . .

12:41 am

GreyWoulf

Hmmmm --- I was told to go play the grid and I haven't even looked for a word yet....

12:41 am

Blaze

take care torgone....

12:42 am

Jacula

Doxy - I never bloody well forgot the pain! But I wanted a 2nd child, and well, it was so easy, having my daughter at home, 2 days later than she was due, after her brother had been breech and refused to turn and made me go into hospital to have him 3 weeks before he was even due!

12:42 am

lottijw

Ohhh honey i am soooooooo there with you in spirit
((((((((XXXXX))))))))

12:42 am

doxy1lover

2nd babies usually come a lot faster.

12:42 am

Babbler

LOL, Tor!!

Yes, very happy reason, GW, good friends and their 9 month old baby! Gorgeous people! :D

12:43 am

Jacula

Nor me Wolfie. Not even written the grid down yet.:-(

12:44 am

doxy1lover

well, I'm off to bed, almost midnight here and worked all day. See you all tomorrow.

12:44 am

GreyWoulf

Excellent, Babbler -- make sure to make the baby smile for me!

12:44 am

GreyWoulf

G'Nite doxy -- sleep well

12:45 am

beebee

nite doxy

12:45 am

lottijw

Nite Doxy :)

12:45 am

Schroeder

nite doxy, sleep well

12:45 am

Babbler

Will do, GW : )

*hugs to all* !!

12:46 am

Jacula

Nite Doxy.

12:46 am

Jacula

Oh bugger! It's a new grid. Do I have to be an alien now?

12:47 am

GreyWoulf

(*Hug for Bab*)

Only if you really want to be, Jac

12:48 am

GreyWoulf

So, can anyone ID my alien?

12:48 am

Jacula

Well, Wolfie, I've got a nice hippie alien lined up for later. But I'd much rather be me really.

12:49 am

zubie

I have a question! A really brainless one :D But I should be forgiven because babble has mopped up my brain. :P

If I want to communicate with a babbler outside of babble land, how do I do that?

12:50 am

MasterStrider

You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out, you put your left foot in, and, shake it all about...you do the hokey-pokey and turn yourself around...that's what it's all a-bout!!

12:50 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - well, some pros, like me, have a contact address in their bio

others can be contacted via the ezboard if you and they are both registered users

12:50 am

Jacula

Oh, bloody hell Wolfie! Did you have to ask that re the id? I know the face (fom something my son used to watch) but I can't put a name to it. Wy couldn't you have appeared as something easy like Postman Pat??

12:51 am

lottijw

Zubie....some Babble folk have their e-mail adds on their profile.

12:52 am

lottijw

No GW i don`t know either!

12:52 am

zubie

Ok - thanks lotti, GW.

12:55 am

GreyWoulf

Because that would be easy, Jac --

I'll give a clue, but I don't know if it will mean anything outside the US -- it is a scene from the top ranked Golden Turkey award winning movie, which was the last picture Bela Legosi ever 'made' before he died

12:57 am

Schroeder

Good night all, see you tomorrow/today

12:57 am

GreyWoulf

G'Nite Schroeder -- Sweet dreams

12:59 am

beebee

nite schroeder

1:02 am

zubie

Has everyone gone? :(

1:02 am

Blaze

I am still here but must leave soon...

1:02 am

GreyWoulf

1:06 am

GreyWoulf

MasterStrider -- I take it you are from the early days of Babble?

1:07 am

Jacula

MasterStrider

Yeah mate, I was around so long ago people would say, "huh?" when you mentioned Babble. Now it's practically a household name!

1:07 am

zubie

That's what I've been saying, Blaze! GW is trying to convince me otherwise, but I tell you - there are no other words than the 140 I have. :/

1:08 am

Blaze

Zubie I have 241 left to find.... Urrgggll

1:08 am

lottijw

LOL Jac.....btw did you see my earlier post about Mr 69????

1:09 am

GreyWoulf

I just hate when one square has 20+ words attached to it, it means interpreting the 2nd letter list is gonna be a pain in the butt --- that was the pther reason why missed by 6 yesterday -- didn't know which ones I was missing :D

1:09 am

Blaze

1:11 am

lottijw

Right...shower!! Back in approx 20 mins :)

1:11 am

GreyWoulf

Welcome back then, MasterStrider -- yeah, we have transformed the game into a wonderful cooperative effort, thus the higher scores -- we've found that we have more fun chatting and working together :D

1:12 am

Jacula

Tell you whar? Shall I just give up on giving stats right now or will repostring with 35 r's do the trick?

1:12 am

lottijw

*blushes* 12.25 Jac.......should re word it LOL

1:12 am

MasterStrider

Cheers GW, while I am at this temp job I will be sure to play around with Babble a lot more. I love unsupervised work...hehe

1:13 am

zubie

You weren't concentrating, GW! :D [severely - can you imagine a severe happy smile? :D]

I'm half-hearted about this grid. No fire to complete it. 310 is a punishment, really. :D

1:14 am

GreyWoulf

zubie - at least it isn't 418 again :D (just as severely)

1:14 am

GreyWoulf

And I was too concentrating!

just not on finding words...

1:16 am

Blaze

hello peri long time no see...

1:16 am

zubie

(((Jacula))) For all the trouble you're taking with the pesky stats!

Forget them! Just say "310!" and be done with it! :D

1:16 am

GreyWoulf

Hi periwinkle

1:17 am

periwinkle

Hi, Blaze. I am here almost everyday. Don't always chat though.

1:17 am

Charlie

Jac left out the 1 Y....but then that totals 320 words

1:17 am

periwinkle

Hi there GW.

1:17 am

GreyWoulf

Jac - how about you put on our song and we'll dance the grid away for now? ;)

1:18 am

zubie

GW - You were concentrating on talking, I know! :P

310 bad, 418 worse! [Severely] I don't feel as fierce to find the words as I was for the 418, though. :D

1:18 am

zubie

320? *Groan*

1:19 am

GreyWoulf

Well the 418 burnt a lot os us out for biggies for some time to come I think :)

1:19 am

Blaze

Zubie you sound like you need sleep or coffee.. or chocolate.....

1:19 am

GreyWoulf

oops, OF us (see what I mean?)

1:20 am

zubie

Blaze - Sleep, most likely. :D Too much coffee and I'm not one for much chocolate! :)

1:24 am

Blaze

204 left for tomorrow... see you then... get better Zubie... look after your foot... and do some NON babble things today....

1:24 am

GreyWoulf

take care, Blaze -- see you later!

1:24 am

Jacula

310 words and I'm off danciing with Wolfie now.

1:25 am

Jacula

Wolfie, sing the first line of our song softly into my ear.

1:26 am

GreyWoulf

(*under breath to self ---1,2,3..1,2,3.. *)

1:26 am

zubie

Bye Blaze! I'll take care of my foot!

Non - babble? Well, the best non-babble thing I can think of is to not complete the grid and to not complete it, intentionally! :D

Why, thank you!

SweetTooth

I suppose Spock would say, "Fascinating".

2:37 am

macadam

No offence meant.I always considered him a challenge.Shame I never got the chance!!!! ;)

2:49 am

SweetTooth

Spock: Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think "interesting" would suffice.

asellers98

Who in here is using the cheat program that takes all of the letters and gives you all of the possible words

3:49 am

tbear

asellers98....not me for sure...

3:51 am

paperdoll

asellers98 - not me. The thrill is in the hunt!

3:51 am

gramma

asellers, what would be the point? I don't see the fun in that at all.

3:52 am

asellers98

me neither, I am just trying to figure out how everyone is completing the puzzles all the time, must be cheatin, lol, j/k

3:54 am

gramma

asellers, there are lots of tools available. The more you babble the less you use them. To me the stats page on babblers anonymous is necessary. I don't think I could finish w/out it.

3:56 am

asellers98

Up here at work, 4 of us play, and no one finishes, even when we add all of our words together and cheat with that

3:56 am

Poo's Mom

Good morning!

3:56 am

asellers98

what tools does everyone use

3:56 am

gramma

mornin'.

3:58 am

tbear

Good Morning Poos Mum :)! xxx tbears daughter here

3:59 am

Poo's Mom

hi tbear's daughter!

3:59 am

gramma

asellers, I don't know what tools everyone uses or if they do. The log is always a great source for words. You can try a2zword finder or one look dictionary. As I said tho the stats on ba is the best. It gives you the 1st 2 letters.

4:00 am

Poo's Mom

Your alien looks friendly tbear and daughter...mine's kinda creepy

4:01 am

gramma

It's almost 5am here and I'm going to try to get some sleep. TTFN

6:55 am

Jera

Good morning Jen... sickie kid report pending...

7:01 am

brandyjack

There's my 100. off to work.

7:01 am

Jera

Jen, you still there? Can't do coffee today, got sick kid duty (fever). Sorry, hon... maybe tomorrow?

7:01 am

Jera

Have a great day & thanks again brandyjack!

7:02 am

EvaNadine

very quiet on the chatlog this morning...

7:03 am

Jen

I'm sorry he's still sick (it is Gwyd, right?)... we'll keep trying, no big! Right now, I still get to set my own schedule! :)

7:05 am

Jera

No Gwyd's fine as frog's hair... it's the Sprite... she has a bad cold & feels like crap. I think she's one of those who run low temperature wise (i'm like that). She says she feels really hot but she's just a few tenths above norma (had to make sure that wan't a word!)l.

7:06 am

Jera

I might take her in late when I take Gwyd in, where are you between 10 & 11?

7:06 am

Eva

Good morning everyone. 163 and petering out. Can there really be than many words in there?! Sigh. Moan. Thinks of food for solace.

7:08 am

Jen

I'm at the gym usually from 10-11... give me a call and leave a message is you want. I can change/shower at the gym and head out from there.

7:08 am

Jera

Do I have your cell or home phone?

7:09 am

Jen

You have my home #, but I'll e-mail you my cell # now.

7:11 am

Jen

Okay, check your mail.

7:14 am

Jera

Got it, thanks hon... I'll keep you posted!

7:15 am

EvaNadine

any hints for the i in the upper right corner?

7:20 am

Jen

EvaN... it's an inn for pilgrims in Turkey.

7:32 am

Jera

Okay is the spray deoderant in a can a word? If so, I'll keep trying to spell the silly thing... if not, I won't...

7:34 am

hurshy

hey everyone - happy alien day. easy one for me. :)

7:34 am

hurshy

jera, yes it's a word but the correct spelling does not appear in the puzzle.

7:35 am

EvaNadine

jera, if its the word im thinking of, its a real word, just not in todays puzzle...

7:35 am

Jera

hey hurshy... I didn't even have to change from yesterday!

7:35 am

Jera

Is it mayhap an "ai" rather than an ae??

7:35 am

hurshy

sweet, jera! :)

7:35 am

EvaNadine

thanks jen -- that was definitely a google-only kinda word...hehe

7:35 am

hurshy

no it's aero

7:36 am

EvaNadine

jera -- its an "aero" which isnt in here today

7:36 am

Jera

Kay... I'll stop trying to make it fit then... driving me buggy... I'll be happy to finish the a's!!

7:37 am

EvaNadine

im horrible at all the words that start with vowels...and to see so many A-words?
*swoon*

7:37 am

Jera

I knew it was supposed to be an ae in you know, the real world... but that doesn't necessarily mean squat in the Babble world of "alternate spellings"

7:38 am

Jera

I also keep trying to spell aroma... those bricks hurt, ya know...

7:41 am

Wow! That worked... Eastern, thanks ;)
Hi and bye lotti... and Torgone... tbear... FMitch :D

11:34 am

EasternBlue

Sprite...maybe it's because you're the top of the cream of the crop & people are jealous...yeah, that's it!

11:34 am

EasternBlue

All - don't be jealous...sprite won't hurt you!

11:35 am

sprite

Nah, nobody is jealous here. I shouldn't get so near to a black hole, I think :)

11:35 am

Miyavi_fan

...who's invisible?

11:35 am

FMitch

For those that don't know Sprite, a wonderful lady from The Netherlands, usually spotted online at 6am GMT and finishes the grid in a very speedy time. Not usually seen in twilight hours in my experience - all hail the morning bird!

11:35 am

EasternBlue

Miya - sprite was stuck in a black hole, but she's out now!

11:36 am

Miyavi_fan

Eastern, who's Sprite? *blinks innocently*

11:37 am

sprite

LOL!
*hunting 5 Ts that are missing in action*
At least I found the last missing E. I still hate vowels.

11:37 am

EasternBlue

miya - you bad girl!

11:37 am

sprite

Miyavi... give back that car! AND the licence!

11:37 am

mab

Hi all! Big scary grid today. Where are the words? Where, where?

Sprite! what a pleasant surprise to see you this time of day!

11:38 am

EasternBlue

sprite - maybe those t's are stuck in the black hole too... : D

11:38 am

sprite

Hi mab! It's a tricky grid, but it will give in if you push it gently :)

11:39 am

Miyavi_fan

*running away with license* nooo, not the license!

11:39 am

sprite

Great suggestion, EasternBlue! I found 4 of them there. Now for that last nasty elusive T...

11:40 am

torgone

A lot of things react that way sprite.

11:41 am

sprite

*catching Miyavi around a corner and taking away the licence* Bad girl! :)

11:41 am

sprite

So they do, torgone. So they do.

11:43 am

Miyavi_fan

*blinking up at Sprite with tears in eyes* I'm sorry...

11:43 am

sprite

Okay, that was it. The missing one was a T4 that was pretty much selfdescribing. How blind can one be?

11:44 am

EasternBlue

*hug*
there, there miya...
but you must learn there are consequences...

11:44 am

sprite

Noooooooo...... Miyavi pleaeaeaease.... NOT the teary "I am sorry" look...
*melts completely, hands over licence and keys*

11:45 am

EasternBlue

sprite - does that mean your FINISHED?? I am duly impressed!!

11:45 am

EasternBlue

sprite - give her some money too : )

11:46 am

FMitch

Sprite just don't give Miy the ferrari!!!

11:47 am

FMitch

EasternB - you should see Sprite when the grid first kicks in each day!

11:47 am

mab

Sprite understands old babble better than anyone.

So Miy, wherever are you going?

11:48 am

EasternBlue

ok...a little over 1/2 way done...must go & do work now (blech!)

11:48 am

sprite

Finished with 310 words / 4.95 / 3947 points. Well, if there is no chatting (or at least no chatting back), the hunting goes faster :) When I came on at 9.57 am, it was very quiet here.

11:48 am

EasternBlue

that's why she's the cream o' the crop! : D
Congrats sprite...

11:48 am

knuckles01

Yeesh, I feel pretty invisible every day here myself! This is a tough group to integrate into!

11:49 am

EasternBlue

sprite - maybe I should get lost in the black hole...: )

11:49 am

torgone

Maybe it's just your scary icon, knuckles.

11:50 am

sprite

Let's kick their asses, knuckles :)

11:50 am

boreetos

hi kids!

11:50 am

knuckles01

I thought it was alien day, though! I've always contended that Rummy was from outer space!

11:50 am

EasternBlue

knuckles...sorry you feel that way...just jump in with random comments...someone's bound to reply! (unless you're stuck in the black hole as sprite was earlier : D )

11:50 am

knuckles01

11:50 am

Hi boreetos.

EasternBlue

knuckles...I like you already! : D

11:52 am

torgone

Hi boreetos.
Belated Hi mab.

11:52 am

mab

knuckles, your icon reminds me of one I chose for alien day. I'll go get him.

11:52 am

EasternBlue

hi boreetos...
hi schroeder...
(hi mab...don't know if I caught you earlier...)

11:53 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh, Sprite, I can't accept these.

11:53 am

knuckles01

Hee, thanks EasternBlue! :)

11:53 am

EasternBlue

(oops...and Torgone!)

11:53 am

boreetos

Hi Torgone, is that from the Day the Earth Stodd Still?

11:53 am

EasternBlue

davetins - I'm not finished w/ the a's yet...sorry!

11:54 am

sprite

Ar6/18: try the poison and change the last two vowels into one other.
Somehow the word reminds me of football too, but I can't make the connection yet.

Sam Donaldon, a U.S. television journalist. i'm not sure if he's actually an alien, but his hair-piece definitely is.

11:56 am

torgone

boreetos - I think it's actually the album cover Ringo did, spoofing that movie. It's so small, I can't tell. Anyway, that's one of my favorite films.

11:57 am

davetins

Thank you sprite, it was driving me mad, only 2 to go now

11:57 am

boreetos

nice torgone. I was a mount maker with the Sci FI museum here in Seattle, and we had an awsome replica from it.

11:57 am

knuckles01

Oh yeah, mab, Donaldson's totally from another galaxy! You can see it in his eyes. At least, you can when they shoot laser beams through your skull! Pzam!

11:59 am

Schroeder

knuckles and mab scare me!!!

11:59 am

sprite

Has anyone seen Men in Black 1 and 2? Since I saw those movies, I am certain most prominent figures are aliens :)

12:01 pm

Schroeder

I must agree sprite, good movies...

12:01 pm

sprite

Great going, davetins! You're almost there :D

12:01 pm

12:02 pm

boreetos

bye miy.

12:02 pm

mab

I'm pondering that poison football word

Really, I should strive to be more international with my image. I've got someone quite alien to me. Quick change.

boreetos

nice, i miss the X files. Lost has sort of taken its place for me.

12:07 pm

sprite

I love those icons.
I think the football connection with the poison word isn't really there. Guess I got confused with the -al ending.

12:07 pm

mab

Later, wise not to even begin this hideous puzzle today FMitch.

12:25 pm

sprite

Ri6/21:

12:25 pm

summersmile

12:26 pm

hurshy

sure thing summersmile. just go to the babblers anonymous link on the right side of the page, and it's the first post under "general".

12:26 pm

sprite

For one of the long Lo's, think cowboy.

12:26 pm

summersmile

12:27 pm

Or that other song... All by myself...

12:28 pm

Jera

Oooh I remember that one showing up before, sprite... it's a mean one... "alternate spelling" if I recall correctly??

12:28 pm

mab

Brilliant Ouwachita and Sprite (and davetins, too?)!!!

'and the skies are not cloudy all day'

12:29 pm

sprite

Jera, if you mean the combo, YES! It can take a double consonant or a single.

12:29 pm

12:41 pm

hurshy

we all have days like that doxy :)

12:45 pm

efor1124

any clues on im6/21?

12:46 pm

hurshy

if you catch a nasty rodent in your house and it could talk, it might say "im * ***", but change last vowel.

12:47 pm

efor1124

thanks hurshy! good clue!

12:47 pm

doxy1lover

last be5/16?

12:47 pm

hurshy

:) *bows*

12:47 pm

hurshy

be 5/16 - take a bo5 word for chest and change it into a be word.

12:49 pm

hurshy

could i have...just the third letter of the on7?

12:50 pm

doxy1lover

hurshy, you are a life saver today. I thought I tried that one.

12:50 pm

DarleenMB

be5: A bundle of twigs attached to a handle and used as a broom or in sports. The broom used to sweep the ice from the path of a curling stone.

12:51 pm

Jera

One more L to go... I need the first lo8/45, please...

12:52 pm

hurshy

lo8 compound word - what you feel when you are all by yourself

12:53 pm

Cmith

hurshy - I didn't know the lo8 word meant happy and contented.

12:54 pm

Jera

ty... I wasn't twisting quite enough to see that!

I felt sad that I can't keep up with you hurshey... but then if I did, you wouldn't be able to help me! :D

12:54 pm

hurshy

cmith - well, it's not for us introverts. but my sister... she doesn't like to read, largely because she has to do it alone!

12:55 pm

hurshy

jera - my student who babbles, raolen, has the same problem. he wants to beat me but he likes the clue help. :)

12:56 pm

mab

Sometimes I wonder what people who don't like to read do. To occupy themselves.

12:57 pm

hurshy

mab - well, my sister was getting her masters' recently and HAD to read, and was pretty busy with work and school. when she gets less busy, she'll have babies. then no time to read anyway. :)

12:58 pm

Cmith

There is ALWAYS time to read - even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to do it.

12:59 pm

hurshy

well, but, cmith, all i'm saying is that with kids there would be plenty to occupy your time if you didn't LIKE to read.

1:02 pm

mab

I don't have children, however, when they are infants, one can read them Anna Karenina, poetry....the phone book. But a small window.

1:04 pm

hurshy

no ramen? i guess it IS a brand name...

1:08 pm

doxy1lover

should be one, my son thinks its a food group

1:08 pm

torgone

Not a brand name, just not accepted..

1:08 pm

Cmith

hurshy - I assume if you have kids, you sleep when they sleep instead of reading? Or you read kids books - nothing wrong with that cause I still read the Matilda series and Zeuss and ..

1:10 pm

doxy1lover

nothing wrong with reading kids books. I'm reading "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" right now. I enjoy kids books, sometimes better than adults books.

1:10 pm

hurshy

i still read lots of kids books too. and i watch mr. rogers! but i don't have kids either. well, i mean, i don't REALLY, but right now my babbling student is living with us and it's sort of like being a mom. :)

1:10 pm

Miyavi_fan

Boom boom, hello

1:10 pm

hurshy

yeah! i wonder if a lot of babblers like kids' books. you guys like phantom tollbooth?

1:11 pm

hurshy

hey miy!

1:11 pm

doxy1lover

my youngest is almost 19. Getting married in April. Woo hoo, empty nest time.

1:11 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Hurshy, how are you today?

1:12 pm

hurshy

good, miyavi...your typing seems much improved!

1:13 pm

tbear

Finally managed to spell ec7/36....and i thought my spelling was good!!

1:14 pm

mab

I found Mr. Rogers to be a very soothing, healing presence at one time in my adult life.

And I like children's books. I have small collection. I so often buy books for the children of friends and find myself gettine two copies.

1:14 pm

tbear

doxy don't make me jealous......free nest....ahhhhhhh

1:15 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yup, Hurshy! Finally got arm out of sling, so have *counts* seven fingers to type with now. Thumb and two fingers are, inexplicably, bandaged together o_O

1:15 pm

EasternBlue

I cried when Mr. Rogers passed away...

For children's authors...I love the Tomie dePoala books...

1:15 pm

doxy1lover

it's been a while coming. I got excited when my hubby and I could go out without finding a babysitter. This is even better.

1:15 pm

hurshy

well that's progress, anyway, miy.

1:16 pm

hurshy

re's drive me nuts because you never know if it's a prefix or a regular word...

1:16 pm

mab

Dislike re's.

1:16 pm

EasternBlue

...and Robert Munsch

1:16 pm

Miyavi_fan

*big cheesy grin* It's also a rather strange colour :D

Don't get me started talking about children's books ^_^

1:17 pm

tbear

No-one mentioned The little prince...saint-exupery,a classic child/adult book

1:18 pm

hurshy

it's not a hat, it's a snake that swallowed an elephant!

1:19 pm

tbear

Yay..hurshy

1:20 pm

Miyavi_fan

1:20 pm

macadam

Tbear,how do you spell that dratted ec7? I`ve tried several and still failed.

1:21 pm

mab

Favorite author at moment (for adults) is Kate Atkinson, a Briton. Loved 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum,' and everything else since. Have you (or anyone else) read her tbear?

1:21 pm

hurshy

macadam - it starts with same first 3 as ec4, then is followed by an anagram of lo4

1:22 pm

tbear

Miyavi..if (when) we meet up I'll give you a copy,seems to be my role in life to get people to read this book...everytime a replace a copy i've given away,i give it away again....my brother has just asked for two copies when i go to see him so it must be and exisitential family trait.....hahaha

1:23 pm

hurshy

can anyone help me with the first re6/21?

1:23 pm

macadam

Thanks Hurshy I`ll try again.I think it`s just been too long today.

1:24 pm

macadam

Do you mean the re that swims around with sharks ?

1:24 pm

tbear

macadam...the last 4 letters are the last 4 letters of a very large fruit waterm____

1:24 pm

Miyavi_fan

I'll try and track it down, Tbear :) ...I was just confused over the whole "it's not a hat, it's a snake that's swallowed an elephant" thing. Reminds me painfully of something a favourite singer wrote in his blog...o_O

1:25 pm

hurshy

i don't know, maybe i do mean the re that swims with sharks...ponder ponder

1:25 pm

macadam

Cheers Tbear at last.

1:26 pm

tbear

mab...haven't heard of KA,what is her genre?

1:27 pm

macadam

re6/21 a fish that attaches itself to a shark and goes along for the ride!

1:29 pm

macadam

re6/21 also known as a suckerfish

1:29 pm

Uneaixoise

dorothy and toto are aliens?! I had no idea!

1:29 pm

mab

Emmm...fiction. Literary fiction. She writes about all kinds of people. Very funny, intelligent. Behind the Scenes is about an eccentric family -- very funny, lots of depth.

1:30 pm

hurshy

well it took some doing but i got that re6 at last. thanks macadam.

1:30 pm

mab

Refresh, Une. I'm sure this one was alien.

1:31 pm

Uneaixoise

great!

1:31 pm

Thanks, Macadam.... great word.

1:31 pm

Miyavi_fan

*killing herself laughing* What the hell is an electric cucumber?!

1:32 pm

macadam

I`m slowing down to stop shortly.283 and the brain is bleeding :(

1:32 pm

Miyavi_fan

Macadam, you wanna get a plaster on that

1:32 pm

tbear

Thanks mab...I'll look out for her........whoooo time for apple pie and custard....brb

1:33 pm

mab

What happened to your arm, Miyavvi? How did it get injured?

1:33 pm

EasternBlue

miya - have you gone crazy??

1:33 pm

macadam

Too late Miyavi.Need to find another one.

1:37 pm

Miyavi_fan

Mab, hockey accident! They should not give teenage girls long sticks of wood! It's just asking for trouble lol
Eastern, what gave you that impression? Electric cucumbers? Plasters on brain-bleeding? The dancing teapots?

1:37 pm

hurshy

need help with an ri6 - know first 3 letters but still stuck. i have the one that means full of cracks and chinks, but i need the one right next to it.

1:38 pm

Jera

Do you have the poetic one?

1:38 pm

EasternBlue

Miya - dancing teapots I get (think Beauty & the Beast)...it was the electric cukes...came out of nowhere!! : D

1:38 pm

macadam

Teatime.Back soon.

1:39 pm

hurshy

jera - if you mean what i think you mean, then yes.

1:39 pm

doxy1lover

help with co's
the first co5,6,7,8,7
can't find them anywhere

1:39 pm

Miyavi_fan

Yes, sorry about that! Just seen a song by a favourite singer called 'Electric Cucumber'.

Good song :D

1:40 pm

Jera

Sorry, that run is all I have of the ri's... & I was so excited I might could help you hurshey!

1:40 pm

EasternBlue

Ah..so not quite out of thin air...just for the chat log it didn't make sense!

1:41 pm

hurshy

doxy - i think you must be confused - there aren't any co7's for one thing

1:42 pm

Miyavi_fan

Sorry...I was just quite shocked to find the song, it's really not the singers style. And the lyrics that I'm translating are, um, a little more...fresh than usual

1:42 pm

doxy1lover

I printed out the 2 letter clues and according to that there are

1:42 pm

EasternBlue

Miya - doesn't surprise me...what I was thinking made me *blush*

1:43 pm

Cmith

Doxy:
co 6/ 24 body cavity or misspelled greeting in Israel
co 7/ 36 alternate spelling of co 6/24 (body cavity or misspelled Israeli greeting)
co 8/ 50 plural of co 7/36 (body cavities or rhymes with Israeli greetings)
co 7/ 36 plural of co 6/24 (body cavities or misspelled Israeli greetings)

1:43 pm

Uneaixoise

there are two co7's

1:43 pm

hurshy

wow doxy - you're right and somehow i missed a bunch of c's and thought i had left them long ago!

1:43 pm

EasternBlue

hurshy - don't you hate that???

1:43 pm

Jera

Hurshey... think of an ri3 meaning edge... make an adj then more so. then give it the sugar ending...

1:44 pm

Miyavi_fan

*sheepish grin* I think you thought right...if you're thinking what I'm thinking. And I'm thinking right. I get the feeling 'S & M' is a reference I'm not going to like, since I've come across the expression in lyrics before but don't know what it means. Any help? Or does it have a bad meaning?

1:45 pm

hurshy

thanks jera - i had the "sugar ending" but you helped me get the other one!!!!

1:45 pm

Jera

Whew! Yay! I helped hurshy!!

1:45 pm

EasternBlue

Miya - you don't want to go there....

1:46 pm

torgone

M_fan - Has to do with pain. That's problably all the further you need go at this point.

1:46 pm

hurshy

jera - why is it such a thrill to help me?

1:47 pm

zeekums

I need help with the second ai6/21

1:47 pm

doxy1lover

thanks csmith.

1:47 pm

Jera

Because you have helped me so much... I like to repay kindness (but it's hard when you're slow like me!)...

1:48 pm

Cmith

zeekums:? ai 6/ 21 male aviators

1:48 pm

zeekums

Thanks I feel dumb now.

1:48 pm

Miyavi_fan

oh. so, um, not nice then?

Looks like Hideto has been at what Anj refers to as the creative baccy again o_O

1:48 pm

hurshy

well jera, i think babble is like "pay it forward" - as long as you help SOMEbody, that's all that matters. but i'm glad for your help this time!!!

1:49 pm

hurshy

miy - VERY not nice.

1:49 pm

Cmith

zeekums - please do not! we all do it all the time - miss the easier ones and get the relly uglies

1:51 pm

Miyavi_fan

strange though, since most of his songs are more just...hyper and weird. Like, two songs of his I like are called 'LEMONed I scream' and 'Space Monkey Punks from Japan'!

1:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

hm...is this something I should feel embarrassed for asking about?

1:53 pm

torgone

Not at all, M_fan. It's just something that should not be in music aimed at people your age. It's not just adult, but wierd adult.

1:54 pm

hurshy

miy - i don't really see how you can be embarrassed for asking about something when you don't know what it is. but i wouldn't bring it up in polite company. :)

1:55 pm

mab

Well put, torgone.

1:55 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hmm...I don't know, people don't seem to censor music. Like films, they'll censor with the age restrictions, songs are for everyone. Though personally, having translated some Dir en Grey, I think their music comes with an over 40's with earplugs certificate :)

1:56 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hurshy, people's reactions tell me it's something not nice...and the context in the song tells me it's something REALLY not nice

1:57 pm

Kelstar

Lo 7/32 clue anyone?

1:57 pm

hurshy

well, miy, you know what they say - least said, soonest mended. you should just let it go, k?

1:57 pm

doxy1lover

miyavi, go with your gut feeling on this one.

1:57 pm

hurshy

lo7 is like the company that produced "full house" except for last vowel - i don't know if that would help anyone but me. :)

1:58 pm

Dachef

greeting to you all on alien day this. Very difficult grid this is. Making me at computer throw things it is.

1:58 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hurshy, I guarantee it'll stick in my mind like concrete!

1:58 pm

hurshy

fascinating, dachef.

1:58 pm

EasternBlue

Dachef - LOL!!!!

1:58 pm

Miyavi_fan

Hey Dachef :)

1:58 pm

mab

RO8, may I have a clue please. Is it an herb (which I have tried repeatedly)?

1:59 pm

hurshy

but miyavi - it's very important to know that once you learn about something unpleasant, you can never get it out of your head. you'll always know it. so just try NOT to know this as long as you can. :)

1:59 pm

Uneaixoise

great clue, hurshy!

2:00 pm

hurshy

really, une? i thought it was awfully obscure.

2:00 pm

hurshy

mab - now i'm really confused - what ro8?

2:01 pm

Miyavi_fan

lol Hurshy! I know what you mean about that...think I've been pretty much scarred by some of the Dir en Grey lyrics I innocently translated :/

2:01 pm

Uneaixoise

not for moi . . .

2:02 pm

EasternBlue

gotta run...be back soon!

2:02 pm

Cmith

Kelstar: lo 7/ 32 saddler or girl's name + sea in french

2:02 pm

So sorry. It was a 5 I had crossed out and it looked like an 8! Brother.

2:03 pm

hurshy

well, i'm glad it helped someone, une! :)

2:03 pm

doxy1lover

hurshy, I got it (after I googled it) : )

2:04 pm

YO to Ronica.

And a word of advice: the bigger the PANTS the harder they fall.

hahaha.

I think I may be feverish

2:13 pm

If you start hallucinating, Miy, let us know, we'll talk you down.

2:16 pm

Dachef

Miy - do you need some of the little red pills again?

2:17 pm

Miyavi_fan

Ah, ah, question about New York! Why is it New York, New York?

We don't say London, London.

Or, in my case, St Albans, St Albans. So why?

2:18 pm

Uneaixoise

you're kidding, right?

2:18 pm

hurshy

miy, because the town new york is in the state new york. like boston, mass. only they happen to be the same.

2:18 pm

How interesting Ronnica. There are lots of players of this game in Britain. Dachef, for example.

Do go to Babblers Anonymous, link at right, if you'd like list of first and second letters of the words today.

2:18 pm

because it is a city in New York state. Hence, New York, New York

2:18 pm

Thanks, Cmith!

2:18 pm

Ronica

It is New York city in New York State. As Liverpool , Lancashie

2:18 pm

Miyavi_fan

No no no, it's a game, a game! You substitute one word in every sentence with the word PANTS, which works very well with Shakespeare. "What PANTS through yonder window breaks?" I now answer the phone by saying "hubble bubble toil and PANTS"

2:19 pm

torgone

How now, brown PANTS?

2:19 pm

Ooooh...thanks Hurshy! Been wondering over that one, it makes sense now.

the PANTS jumped over the moon. The little brown PANTS laughed to see such fun, and the spoon ran away with the PANTS.

2:23 pm

Mary Mary quite PANTS
How does your PANTS grow?

2:55 pm

Minski, that's the best way to think. A song for little kids today reduced me and my friends to hysterics. It goes: "there were ten in a bed and the little one said, roll over, roll over"

2:56 pm

boreetos

"..I'm singing in the PANTS, just singing in the PANTS, what a glorious feeling, I'm PANTS again. I'm singing, and dancing, in the PANTS..."

Miy
That is one of the silliest songs. Paigey (11 months old) loves it though and dances whenever we sing it to her. So cute.

There is also "10 little monkeys jumping on the bed" which is almost as funny and repetitive.

HMMM
10 little PANTS jumping on the PANTS
one fell off and broke his PANTS
Mother called the PANTS
and the PANTS said
no more PANTS jumping on the PANTS.

This PANTS thing could get very dangerous quickly.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Doing alright, Charm -- going through the 2nd letter list right now... Have a long way to go (185) so will be asking for clues pretty soon :)

9:40 pm

Cheesenips

9:40 pm

ohromujici

Hey everyone. Is the theme aliens tonight? I came dressed as "rosie the riveter" because I couldn't find babbler's profile to look up the dress code.

9:41 pm

doxy1lover

I don't watch b-ball, unless I get to go to the game. I'm watching "Lost" right now.

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

Not gonna waste a lot of time hunting solo tonight -

so I'll start with ai6/21 please?

9:42 pm

Cheesenips

gw ai6/21 is a plural- those who locate targets

9:42 pm

Charm

Hey, ohrom - no clue about the day's theme, but I decided to stick with Opus, my silly, sophisticated love.

9:42 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey ohrom - yep it's aliens

9:42 pm

doxy1lover

pilots in the Air Force

9:42 pm

Cheesenips

oh of course you want the other 6/21- guys who fly

9:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

doxy - i ran back and forth between babble and tv - and i could not figure out half of tonight's show..esp whois on the film - so let me know!

9:43 pm

GreyWoulf

thx, cheesenips :)

9:43 pm

Charm

ai6 - one who 'ready. ai*. fire.'s pl.

9:43 pm

doxy1lover

the guy on the film is the Japanese guy that was on the first film they saw when they first went in

9:44 pm

doxy1lover

the guy on film who told them that something wrong had happened and they needed to keep entering the code into the computer.

9:45 pm

doxy1lover

temple, they aslo found blast doors down in that room place.

9:46 pm

ohromujici

Hey Greywolf. What is your icon? It is a little small to see who the people are or why the guy is carrying a dead or passed-out lady. PS-How was work today?

9:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

te 7's? te 8?

9:48 pm

doxy1lover

te7's,8 another spelling of soup dishes

9:48 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom - it's one of the iconic scenes from 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' -- The greatest bad movie of all time :)

Work was work, and not worth talking about, except to say most emphatically that I need a new job!

9:49 pm

Charm

te7 - of or relating to the earth. (looks like a funny spelling of the soup serving dish).
te8 is pl.

9:50 pm

ohromujici

OMG: I have seen that movie. Ed Wood, right? That was the best bad movie that I have ever seen. I especially liked the part where they were showing the flying saucers coming down from outerspace and you can totally tell that it is actually two paper plates glued together which are hanging from a string that the prop guy is holding.

9:50 pm

kerhog

can someone pls tell me how many words today?

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

temple owl, double letters in both words

9:51 pm

Charm

9:51 pm

doxy1lover

kerhog, 310 words

9:51 pm

renfield

gw - "the sky they once looked upon was now just a covering for her dead body...." - love plan nine & ed wood - just got home and wanted to say hi to you

9:52 pm

kerhog

ty

9:52 pm

GreyWoulf

Ohrom -- LOL - yep! And the fact that Bela Legosi died only a couple of days into filming so they covered by having the replacement hold the cape over his face so we wouldn't know ;)

9:53 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey renfield -- I only got home a short while ago myself -- racing through 2nd letter list, but chatting too!

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty charm!

9:54 pm

Charm

y/w. what else? keep 'em coming....

9:55 pm

zubie

Hi again, everyone! Yesterday, I left off at 152. :/

9:56 pm

doxy1lover

hi zubie

9:56 pm

GreyWoulf

Hey zubie -- That puts me only 17 behind you :D

9:57 pm

robert240

hi all. who's got the bi 7/8's?

9:58 pm

doxy1lover

robert, think of what you would use to birdwatch or see a ballgame up close in a stadium

9:58 pm

zubie

Hi GW :D I thought you'd be way ahead of me! I'm not going to make spirited efforts to finish this grid. [At least, I'm trying to convince myself so! :D]

HI doxy :)

9:59 pm

robert240

thanks dox

9:59 pm

GreyWoulf

Zubie - I only got home form work less than an hour ago, and then of course there's the chatting ;D

9:59 pm

doxy1lover

yw robert.

9:59 pm

dalmatian5

Good evening eveyone! I desperately need assistance. I have one word I cannot find. I need the Ce 5/16. Can anyone give me a clue. Thanks!

10:00 pm

Charm

bi7 - Mr. Peanut wears a one-lens eye piece. A 2 lens piece would be called a bi*****. You watch birds through a set of bi******** (not one of today's words). bi8 is pl.

10:00 pm

doxy1lover

temple, the film was cut out of the original that they watched. They spliced it back in. Unfortunately, didn't show that tonight. (darn)

10:01 pm

zubie

Oh, yes, of course, GW. The chatting. :D

10:01 pm

Charm

ce5/16 - short form of famous actor, ball player, socialite.

10:01 pm

doxy1lover

ce5, think an important person, an actor. We usually use it as an abbreviation.

10:01 pm

obrandt

hi stacy

10:03 pm

doxy1lover

oops temple. I was wrong. They showed the clip. They were told not to use the computer for anything but entering the code. They were not to use it to communicate with the outside world. Then, of course, a message is sent through the computer.

10:03 pm

ohromujici

Oh yeah. THat's right. I forgot about that. lol. My dad is a big fan of the film and tends to ramble on about it. He was telling me that apparently Ed Wood had all these ideas about making this great film but his only large financial backer was the Baptist Church of Beverly Hills and they put the kabash on most of the ideas that he had and changed everything.
It was originally titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space, but was renamed because that title (as well as much of the original dialog) was considered sacrilegious by its backers. To convince the church to bankroll the film, Ed Wood had the entire cast baptized. One actor couldn't fit in the baptismal pool so they moved the baptism ceremony to a swimming pool. : )

10:04 pm

dalmatian5

Thanks a million Charm and Doxy. You made my night!!!!
Love the way everyone is so helpful.

10:05 pm

doxy1lover

yw dalmation. Glad to help if I can.

10:05 pm

torgone

LOL ohro! That must have been Tor! Great story!

10:06 pm

GreyWoulf

ohrom - there is so much trivia attached to the film, it will always have its own separate niche in the history of movie making ;)

10:06 pm

doxy1lover

I'm off for tonight. Have a good rest of the evening. See you tomorrow after work.

10:06 pm

Charm

nite, doxy1

10:07 pm

GreyWoulf

So long, doxy!

an6/21 anyone?

10:07 pm

beebee

nite doxy- sleep well

10:08 pm

Charm

an6/21 - a blood disorder, insufficiency of hemoglobin I think. Iron pills are an easy fix.

10:08 pm

GreyWoulf

beebee - that pic is just a little unsettling when it pops up out of nowhere like that :D

10:08 pm

ohromujici

lol. Yep. Tor Johnson. poor guy........

10:09 pm

GreyWoulf

Thx, Charm -- I'm distracted this evening, I was looking for it, but didn't see it

10:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

te7 i have word sounding like soup te*****;
word for smaller;
word having to do with those 13-19;
can someone please help with the last one?

GW - these clues are for you!
word anagram of tr word meaning the shakes

10:09 pm

beebee

GW- so sorry, i'll try to control my popping up

10:09 pm

beebee

GW- how's your wife? good, i hope

10:10 pm

zubie

Lol beebee! :D "control the popping up"! LOL! :D

10:10 pm

MissyMe

an6/21 is also "a" + mo5/12

10:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i also have te7 anagram of word meaning the shakes...

10:10 pm

ohromujici

Charm: an6 is a disorder where you have enough hemoglobin molecules in your red blood cells but you are lacking the iron co-factor molecule which allows them to bind oxygen and carry it to your body's tissues. That is why taking an iron supplement helps. (file that under trivia).

10:11 pm

Charm

I should have asked before misspeaking - hubby is a hematologist - he'd not be able to keep his head up for the shame! Thanks for setting me straight....

10:12 pm

MissyMe

sorry ignore my post I just saw the an instead of the am

10:12 pm

harpjane

good clue, Charm!

10:12 pm

GreyWoulf

beebee - yes, she's doing alright, however, the baby seems to have contracted a bug of some sort -- probably related to all the weird temp changes here in PA recently -- so we are both a little concerned --

There is nothing quite so heart wrenching as a sick toddler...

10:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

tr 6 and tr 7 clues please?

10:14 pm

GreyWoulf

Temple Owl - thank you for your assistance -- every little bit is helping :)

10:14 pm

Babs1

gw...you're right...I used to really stress on the rare occasions my daughter would get sick...if you want any ideas on keeping your immune system strong, you can e-mail me..

10:14 pm

Charm

tr6 - "A molecule formed by combining THREE identical smaller molecules." We are more familiar with poly***(s).
Tr7 is pl.

10:14 pm

gramma

Good grief....Good night! I quit. TTFN

10:15 pm

beebee

GW-
i am sorry to hear the baby isn't feeling well, but don't you mean there is nothing quite so annoying...... :)
i'll let you get back to the grid and i''ll talk to you in awhile

10:17 pm

ohromujici

lol charm. : ) I rarely have useful trivia so I just thought I would throw that out there. I used to teach bio and genetics at a small college so the urge to chat about genetics/biochem is sometimes overwhelming. I guess that makes me a geek w/out social skills. : ) (no offense to geeks without social skills).

10:17 pm

GreyWoulf

beebee - no, I mean heart wrenching because she is in low energy ebb, just wants to cuddle, and yesterday she was insisting on playing Chase Me and other high energy antics

10:18 pm

Charm

ohrom - I think if the info were useful, it would, technically, not be trivia! Socially inept geeks of the world, unite. *pushes glasses further up nose and peers at screen*

10:19 pm

beebee

GW- oh, that does make my heart hurt, bring her here i'll cuddle her- my son is 11 there is nooooooooo cuddling with him, luckly if i get a hug

10:19 pm

Babs1

ohro..like to chat with you some time about what you learned and taught about cell communication..particular interest of mine in my wellness work

10:19 pm

ohromujici

I always knew I liked you, CHarm. : )

10:20 pm

Charm

why, t/y, ohrom....

10:22 pm

ohromujici

Babs: I could chat your ear off about cell transduction sometime. We should both drink a large vat of espresso first though. : ) lol

10:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

GreyWoulf

10:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty charm - charm or cyber stil missing one ar 5 and ar 6 which may be the plural of the ar 5...

10:31 pm

Charm

ar6/18 - he was a comedian/talk-show-host. ar***** Hall (drop the I).

10:31 pm

beebee

GW- AR6/18 think talk show ar***** hall- drop the i

10:32 pm

Charm

Temple O- there are only 5 ar5's - and I think you have them all. There are 3 ar6's - which do you need?

10:32 pm

ohromujici

<<hug>> for you too, GW. Thanks, Temple.

10:32 pm

cybernan

ar 6/18 -- as Charm says, Ar***** Hall - drop the i

10:32 pm

GreyWoulf

Thx Charm -- A's are finished at least :D

I'll celebrate the little victories tonight ;)

10:33 pm

cybernan

last ar 5/10 -- stood up

10:33 pm

zubie

Good idea, GW! I'll keep peeking at the grid now and then, when it's least suspecting and the words aren't hiding. ;D I might be able to catch some of them that way! :D

10:33 pm

Charm

GW - I'm back on my never-ending diet, so I can only offer a celebratory glass of soy milk. lol

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Remember what I said this AM, zubie --- when you're not looking the grid is actually in another language :D

10:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

zubie - now is no time for heroism - grab clues from the log like crazy!

10:34 pm

GreyWoulf

Charm - is it chocolate soy?

10:35 pm

Charm

vanilla soy.

10:36 pm

cybernan

Admire your fortitude -- can't stand soy, myself!

10:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Then fill 'er up-- I don't care for choc soy -- though Kirsten loves it :D

10:37 pm

Charm

The first gallon was tough. But the flavored one (I've not broached the chocolate yet) kind of hide the 'beany' taste. Don't even think about it now.

10:37 pm

Blaze

have you tried the fruit flavoured soy.... it is really good

10:37 pm

zubie

Temple Owl - I know that the clues are spattered all over the log, but I'll have to THINK! I don't want to think! Not so early in the morning! Waaaa!

GW - I know you said that! But it seems to me that they are in some martian language while I search and all English when I'm looking away! ;D

10:38 pm

Charm

one vanilla soy for GW, celebrating the conclusion of tonight's "A's", coming right up. Anyone else, while I have the container out?

10:38 pm

GreyWoulf

Haven't even seen any of the fruit soy, Blaze...

Who makes it?

10:39 pm

zubie

Hi Blaze :)

10:39 pm

Blaze

up here is is Good Soy

10:39 pm

GreyWoulf

(*stage whisper to zubie*)
I know you know, but I wanted an excuse to repeat for everyone else ;D

10:39 pm

cybernan

Hi Blaze! -- still need the fog lights? Turned cold here (below freezing) with a skiff of snow.

10:40 pm

GreyWoulf

Blaze - How many different fruit flavors are available? I am definitely interested.

10:41 pm

Blaze

Cybernan the fog has lifted... the cold is moving in... snowed yesterday than got rained away... of course... really cold tonight will freeze the black ice for sure....

10:41 pm

zubie

[So we both know, GW! :D Shhh! I'm going to check the grid while it's unaware!]

10:42 pm

Blaze

there are at least three.... the usuall tropical combos.... contact your local soy beverge provider....

10:42 pm

dutchoven

i've got the green tea flavored soy sitting in my fridge...haven't been brave enough to try it yet.

10:43 pm

cybernan

Got a good book on the go -- back at post time.

Good night to those who are leaving until tomorrow morning.

10:44 pm

GreyWoulf

Which book, c-nan?

10:46 pm

cybernan

Accidental Woman -- Barbara Delinsky -- sequel to Lake News. Probably a few years old -- I keep our used book store in business!

10:48 pm

GreyWoulf

Not my kind of book, c-nan -- but I try to do the same with my local used book shop as well -- In addition I have a discount book warehouse only a couple of blocks away from my home -- Now if only I had the money to feed my book addiction...

10:49 pm

GreyWoulf

So enjoy your book, c-nan and see you at the flip!

10:49 pm

Charm

did some one say book addiction????

10:49 pm

cybernan

Bye for now.

10:49 pm

JBsAnno

GW-is that the Atlantic Book Warehouse you're referring to?

10:51 pm

GreyWoulf

Why, yes, JB, it is :D

Charm - are you really taht surprised to have a fellow Babbler admit to book addiction? ;)

10:53 pm

JBsAnno

Ah, hah! They have a new commercial, showing the books literally stacked to the ceiling - like THAT's gonna happen.
However, I've been very pleased with my purchases there, I make it there about every 2 months.

10:53 pm

Charm

oops, sorry *wiping drool off chin*. What are we reading these days? I just finished "The Secret Life of O. Wilde" which should come with a parental warning sticker. Just started The Reckoning by Charles Nicholl about the murder of Kit Marlowe.

10:55 pm

GreyWoulf

What I love about it, JB -- is that I don't have to go to multiple stores to check the bargain table -- they are all there in one place

10:55 pm

JBsAnno

At 120 words (only for 2 hours worth of actual Babbling), and 5am comes early, as you know! Have fun chatting re: books, words, huge grids, and movies.

10:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

le 5 - have:
plural of lascivious looks;
slimy creature used to bleed people;
contact le** + an extra vowel;
sierra le***;
Please help to find the one missing?

10:57 pm

JBsAnno

Oh, yes, G - they've certainly gotten my money's worth over the last 8 years!! Medical school (for hubby) means finding low prices, cheap prices, and what the heck, free prices for as much as possible!

10:57 pm

Charm

le5 - adj. of the lascivious looks (add that odd sometime-vowel to the end).

10:58 pm

GreyWoulf

Well, let's see, Charm -- I have a tendency to read several books at once -- the current roster include: The I Ching, rereading The Tao of Pooh, Clifford Simak's 'Ring Around The Sun', and Storm Constantine's 'The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure'

10:58 pm

zubie

186 - I give up! I hope that the next grid will have just 40 words! :D

10:59 pm

Charm

Hey, how is the Storm Constantine? She's on my 'list' but I'm nowhere near to reading it.

10:59 pm

JBsAnno

Happy Babbling to all, and to all a good night!

11:00 pm

GreyWoulf

JB- have a good night -- sleep well and will see you tomorrow

11:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'd fish slap myself but i don't have time... ; D

11:02 pm

JBsAnno

Same to you, GW!
(whispers: on these megaword grids, I set a goal of so many words, or so many points; I still enjoy the puzzle, but don't beat myself up for not finishing. Now, off to bed!)

11:03 pm

beebee

temple do you have le (2nd le + a y)

11:04 pm

GreyWoulf

Charm - I haven't gotten past the first chapter yet, but that's because it's the 4th book in the Wraeththu series -- the first trilogy (The Wraeththu Chronicles) was very good -- but make sure you read the new edition under Immanion Press that came out in 2003 -- IP is Storm's personal publishing house and she re-editted the books to remove a lot of plot holes and inconsistencies

11:04 pm

beebee

oops drop s and add a y

11:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

Because we don't have physical reality to distract us, Mama!

11:11 pm

mamabear

Hey beebee! I had an alien bear this morning, but he was a mean looking thing.. not what bears should be, so I got rid of him post haste!

11:12 pm

mamabear

I think you are right torgone & GW!!! I'm sorry... didn't mean to come on and bring everyone down.... bad mamabear..

oops, didn't mean to leave you out Charm, you are right, too!!!!!
and bee bee, there isn't enough room on this log to list what you are asking!

11:14 pm

torgone

Not to worry, Mama. Some of us are worse for that sometimes . . .*rolls eyes*

11:14 pm

beebee

I think the only downer here- is this nasty grid

11:14 pm

Charm

Have a glass of soymilk, MamaB - it'll get you out of your funk.

11:15 pm

beebee

sorry mama- but we can't kill them or can we? ;)

11:27 pm

mamabear

oh beebee!!!!! I'm SOOOO there!!! I vacationed in Maine a few years back and then in Florida the last 2 years and absolutely fell in love with the shore!!!! I think that when the stork delivered me, he started on the west coast, was flying east on his way to the east coastline, and sneezed over the midwest and dropped me in Chicago. I'm convinced I'm not supposed to be here.

11:27 pm

beebee

i'll be heading to mc donalds in the am for my pie- yum yum

11:28 pm

GreyWoulf

Tor - the gold plated arches are the home to the new pies
