I can never find those ae's no matter how many times they keep appearing! --- think I have a mental block there.

12:57 am

cybernan

It's the same my 4, Hurshy!

12:57 am

corpsvalue

cybernan, think what you might do to your lawn for the ae.

12:57 am

hurshy

i know, i got that one, i don't know what else to get

12:57 am

sandyloo

i always want the simple things like s's

12:58 am

corpsvalue

or did you have that one already. sorry if i overstepped there.

12:59 am

hurshy

and the y is the same way, one obvious, one...maybe i just need a fish?

1:00 am

sandyloo

as a newbie i am constantly fascinated by the mention of fish in the chat
am i missing something??

1:00 am

hurshy

if you do something stupid you hit yourself with a fish.
there are many different fish. the pollock of plurality and past tense, the haddock of obviousness, etc.

1:02 am

sandyloo

ROFL how did i not see that one!!!!!!!!

1:03 am

cybernan

Thanks, Hurshy

1:04 am

hurshy

for explaining the fish? did you not know about them either, cnan? how is that possible?

1:04 am

cybernan

Did you get the pe 8, Hurshy?

1:04 am

hurshy

yes, and used the haddock vigorously

1:04 am

cybernan

No -- i was thanking you for the ae clue!

1:05 am

grigs

hurshy- the y's SOUND exactly the same.

1:06 am

hurshy

oh, then i think you meant to thank corpsvalue

1:06 am

hurshy

ah, the relief, thanks grigs

1:06 am

Blaze

hail and hello to everyone

1:07 am

sandyloo

begorrah to you blaze who is your group

1:07 am

cybernan

Hi Blaze :)

1:08 am

Blaze

it is an old photo of the beatles.... hmmm I should go find a shamrock or something to change the icon...

1:09 am

sandyloo

i love the beatles was such a mad keen fan when i was 13

1:09 am

Blaze

we are are probably around the same age then

1:10 am

hurshy

how can there be 3 from that r?!?!

1:11 am

hurshy

2, sure, but 3?

1:11 am

Blaze

hurshy think of someone shouting......

1:12 am

cybernan

Thank you corpsvalue

1:12 am

hurshy

you mean like ____ and rave? nope, comes off the middle

1:12 am

corpsvalue

yw

1:13 am

cybernan

Which r, Hurshy?

1:13 am

grigs

which two do you have? I also have two... maybe they're different?

1:13 am

hurshy

the 1st row, 4th column... it's almost impossible for anything to come off it, bc most things you can make with it you can make with the one next to it

1:14 am

hurshy

my 2 go together - unusual and more unusual

1:14 am

grigs

pooh, those are the ones i have...

1:14 am

Blaze

Hurshy the other r is an r 4...think shouting

1:15 am

hurshy

blaze - see my 1:12 question....?

1:15 am

Avaneko

Think of a kind of wrench. without the et.

1:16 am

Blaze

oops sorry for the mis direction and thanks for the clue got it....

1:16 am

hurshy

nice try, ava, but still comes off the middle

1:17 am

cybernan

What about the person who is the law in the forest?

1:18 am

grigs

cy- that's stil off the middle r :(

1:18 am

hurshy

the words count towards the first letter they could possibly come off of, right to left, top to bottom, so all these count for the middle r

1:19 am

Avaneko

You're talking about the r next to the c right?

1:19 am

hurshy

yup

1:19 am

hurshy

did i say right to left, i meant left to right - staying up too late...

1:21 am

macuser

the last 'r' is a compound word

1:21 am

hurshy

ugh, this is NOT going well, only found one O, so many many boxes very far from being grey

1:22 am

cybernan

The only other I can think of is raree, but it's not accepted!

1:22 am

macuser

ra8/45

1:22 am

hurshy

ooh, hmm... only one i cant think of is welsh ______ but that's not it

1:23 am

hurshy

ahhh... lovely lovely lovely

1:23 am

grigs

macuser, you are the... mac. Hurshy, it's 2 r4/4's together, one of ours, and teh other is a fruit that's done

1:23 am

hurshy

nobody has any 9's yet?

1:24 am

hurshy

yup, got it grigs (hence the lovely lovely lovely)

1:24 am

grigs

1:25 am

hurshy

1:25 am

Avaneko

1:25 am

cybernan

1:26 am

1:28 am

hurshy

1:28 am

cybernan

Didn't take it quite far enough!

1:28 am

Eren

113

1:34 am

macuser

That's where I've seen the word... in a catalog. It's not one that's used in everyday conversation though. Perhaps I'll try it on the produce guy in the grocery store, heh

1:35 am

cybernan

FMitch

Morning Haz, are you well?

3:44 am

Voyager I

Good morning, fellow stranger.

3:45 am

Haz1558

I am indeed. Just got started on the grid and it seems okay.

3:46 am

lshult

Morning all,
70 words down, but struggling!!

3:47 am

FMitch

I'm only babbling til 10.00 then am stopping as have a lot to do today. Grid isn't too bad so far but I have nothong over 6 letters so far.

3:47 am

Voyager I

Good morning!

3:48 am

Haz1558

So maybe it isn't an okay grid after all! My icon, by the way, in honour of St Patrick's day, is of Slemish, where he is reputed to have herded sheep. It's about 5 miles from where I live.

3:49 am

FMitch

Wonderful scenery Haz, and Happy St Patricks Day.

3:49 am

Voyager I

I"m going to quit at 5:00.

3:49 am

Voyager I

(AM)

3:50 am

Haz1558

Thank you - not that I do anything special! It seems that the Americans lead the way in St Patrick's day celebrations.

3:50 am

Voyager I

If you mean "College-age deaths by alcohol poisoning", then yes, we sure do!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Am I also right in hearing that a traditional St Patrick's day meal consists of corned beef, cabbage and potatoes? A meal I have NEVER eaten or made for anyone!

3:52 am

FMitch

doesn't sound very appetising does it!

3:53 am

Voyager I

Yes, as a matter of fact.

3:53 am

Voyager I

Depends on how badly the Corned Beef has been overcooked...it's not one of my favorites, to be honest.

3:53 am

sandyloo

hi haz and i have had that meal its actually quite yummy if you cook the corned beef yourself and my icon is because its my wedding anniversary (36)

3:54 am

Haz1558

We first heard of it when we had American visitors. I was horrified!

3:54 am

ExWren

morning all. Not sure if I will be joining you today again, (I missed yesterday). I'm out this morning for a couple of hours, and at a meeting this afternoon. I'll need more time than that to tackle this grid.

3:54 am

Voyager I

Hello, new European person.

3:54 am

sandyloo

im surprised that its an american dish i always thought it was english or irish

3:55 am

Voyager I

We think it is, too...but you know how good Americans are at world culture and geography...

3:55 am

sandyloo

see what fun voyager- we got the world covered!!

3:55 am

ExWren

Congratulations sandyloo

Haz1558

That has been very helpful MrP. Can I just ask about the check list which I used yesterday for the first - can you save the list to come back to it later in the day? I didn't want to tempt fate by turning the computer off!

4:18 am

trishtrash

You too, MrP... how are you today? And how's everyone doing on the grid? I've got no brain today... trying to spell your ae7 and getting my vowels in a knot, lol.

4:21 am

mrpresident

Haz, I don't turn this thing off, so I didn't think anything about that... will ask lickety when I see him.
I would copy/paste to word in the meantime and save it there
..... to be sure, to be sure.

Started with the Karma Sutra and went downhill from there, lol.

5:41 am

lola100

oh yeah? I'll have a look when I go to play! : )

5:42 am

lola100

now I COULD ask what the karma sutra has to do with sudoku but.... } )

5:43 am

sprite

I had to laugh so hard, I couldn't even see the grid anymore. With Debs and Kryst10 and Atalante... even Dr_God had his say :)

5:44 am

lola100

oh, now I have to know! Back in a bit : )

5:45 am

luvmypom

sprite, would you mind posting the sudoku link? For some reason it's not coming up at the top of babble chat for me tonight.

5:46 am

luvmypom

thanks muchly. :)

5:46 am

sprite

Very welcome :)

5:47 am

luvmypom

My daughter loves to play, but although she's 18, the chat may be a little mature for her, do you think? I haven't been there yet.

5:47 am

lola100

sprite, my 'veiw entire chat log' button isn't working, can't see this morning's chat : ( ...might have to wait 'til tomorrow to view it.

5:48 am

Ricey

how many words today??

5:48 am

trishtrash

199 Ricey

5:49 am

lola100

er, that would be 'vIEw' : /

luvmy, I don't think it's too bad. No worse that what you see/hear in the media : )

5:50 am

sprite

Pom, it wasn't that bad. No foul language or anything explicit. An 18 yo wouldn't have had problems with it, I am sure.
Poor lola, you have to practice patience! That's bad! ;)

5:51 am

luvmypom

Maybe I'll take a look and see. I saw earlier on this board that it got a little gross one day talking about abortions, etc.

She loves to Babble with me. Sometimes a pair of fresh eyes see the most obvious words right in front of my nose! lol

5:51 am

lola100

sprite, grrrrrr I know! I sometimes think that learning patience is my life lesson. It sure as hell don't come naturally, lol! : D

5:52 am

sprite

Don't you know that brilliant prayer?
"Please God, grant me patience. AND I WANT TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!!!"

Missed the part about abortions, Pom... that sounds unpleasant.

5:53 am

lola100

right now?? I wanted it YESTERDAY damnit! : D

5:54 am

sprite

LOL!

5:56 am

sprite

I am nowhere near patience myself either. I can be patient with kids or clients, sometimes even with friends... but that's about it, lol. Not with myself and most certainly not with things! I hate waiting.

6:00 am

lola100

sprite, I'm the same. My three year old has made me discover depths of patience I never knew where there! lol : D

6:01 am

sprite

:D They are good at that, aren't they :)
I am done, got to run. Happy hunting all! :)

6:02 am

lola100

Yay! Well done sprite! See you later : )

6:03 am

6:20 am

amandacath

Ah, I see we've got the "sort-of Lone Ranger's friend" again - anybody know what it means?

6:21 am

lola100

nope! : /

6:23 am

Haz1558

It looks like an Itlalian or Spanish word for 'such' or 'so many'

6:24 am

amandacath

I googled it: "The t**** is the knife worn traditionally by the Samurai. The t**** was not so much a working knife, but a secondary weapon that was kept with him at all times."

So now we know

6:25 am

capone

companion knife to a katana

6:26 am

lola100

hi haz. What is you icon today?

6:26 am

6:26 am

amandacath

I see - you're a good resource for weapon-words then. Now all we need are experts for ... well, I suppose just about everything else

6:33 am

caitlyn

Hi all any clues please for the re5/14 thanks

6:35 am

capone

lol, not an expert by any means. started collecting because i was a huge "Highlander" movie mark and then later even incorporated the "Highlander" moniker when I did a stint as a ringside manager for a local indy pro rasslin fed. once, my katana got a little too friendly with a prop one of the other guys brought to the ring (blow up doll) and sliced through it and the ring canvas...funny stuff

6:35 am

Haz1558

hi evan

6:40 am

amandacath

D***, I was going to start throwing Highlander quotes at you, Capone, then I realized I only know them in German! I love the movie as well, and I'm sure I've seen it a dozen times in one language or the other, but I was conditioned on the quotes by German boys...

6:41 am

Hi evana, hi all. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Why Christmas Cappie?

Separate question, are you homicidal?

6:48 am

capone

6:52 am

amandacath

Isn't it appropriate that Eire is in the grid on St. Patrick's Day

6:52 am

capone

no, that would make too much sense

6:53 am

mab

That's a good crossword word.

7:25 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Capone - I'm showing my age with Mr Pitney. How about Mr Hackman instead?

7:25 am

amandacath

had almost the same problem, Capone - knew ms. hatcher but not mr. pitney. Try:
prefix meaning trillion + preposistion + the thing on a chromosome - last letter

7:25 am

mab

Thank you Haz.

7:26 am

Hi Angel.

Your resource page is terrific, by the way. Thank you for doing it.

7:43 am

Hi movieman. Do let us know if you catch one. Does one get a wish if one captures a leprecaun?

HI all!

I've already heard 'Danny Boy' today -- never fails to make me teary, even the 78th time.

7:55 am

if you mange to make the 9 letter words then you will yourself be an example of one of them (sort of)

7:56 am

sandyloo

the tr one means the captain of a greek warship but i havent got it yet

as capone said, but it could also be a MacD on a German/Austrian city???

8:01 am

capone

or a famous St. Louis landmark

8:01 am

mab

Look a little bit further in when you google, sandyloo. I got the ship mainly, but it's captain is in there.

8:03 am

mab

It is a compound of tr5 and ar4.

8:03 am

amandacath

Yay - got it. The German city gave it to me. It's one that's often in the grid (the city, I mean) and it took me forever to figure out that it's not the city, but rather one who attempts

8:04 am

rivets

google for trireme and then read the articles.....

8:04 am

sandyloo

i obviously dont know any st louis landmarks
cant think of mcdon logo
but i will google trireme

Damn this is addictive....

david.m1fcf

any clues for en 8/50 and ra 8/45?

8:14 am

ToeSockMonkey

hard... no S

8:14 am

mab

en would be to plea or beg.

8:15 am

amandacath

The ra is NOT a rodent on a big farm - although I think that should be a word

8:15 am

Haz1558

ra 8/45 is a combination of the unusual ra4/4 and the ready to eat ri4/5

8:16 am

sandyloo

ra 8 is a strange word made up of two words
which are ra 4/4 and ri 4/5

8:17 am

amandacath

Thanks Sandy & Haz - got it (although I like mine better)

8:17 am

sandyloo

en is an extension of the en 7

8:20 am

david.m1fcf

Thanks Sandy - once you said that, then Angels magic list of words came to the rescue.

8:21 am

sandyloo

im embarrassed to say i still h avent got that tr 9 although i have the pe 8

8:22 am

sandyloo

and im sick of reading about triremes they are not mentioning their captain!

8:22 am

amandacath

Sandy - German city (or one who attempts) + geometric figure

8:23 am

Haz1558

Sandy - put together tr5 - one who attempts and ar4, as in Triumphal Ar**

8:23 am

david.m1fcf

a five sided shape is to the pe8 you have as a three sided shape is to the answer you are looking for - cryptic enough not to give it away I think

8:25 am

david.m1fcf

finally got the ra8/45 and I am defintiely not doing that this morning! :-) oh well, lunch break over - back to work

8:25 am

sandyloo

LOL I have got the fact of the rainbowlike thing

8:26 am

capone

Ok, whoever asked me if I was homicidal earlier....I change my answer.

8:26 am

sandyloo

what was your answer cap?

8:26 am

capone

no

That was me. What's going on with you?

8:41 am

musicmom

Jera - I feel your pain - I'll be at the Walmart tomorrow doing the same thing. Sarah can't find her sash since we moved. I've got to get her to do that so I can get it updated tonight.

8:41 am

amandacath

Angel - en7 - to plead, ra8 = ra4/4+ri4/5 (seldom + mature)

8:41 am

musicmom

Movies and a box of cookies -that should do it!

8:42 am

ktf

Got the en7, but no idea on the ra8.

Got the first bit... Ah, I suck.

8:44 am

Jera, Jen, I know just where you are meeting, I think, and am envious and more than a little wistful. Some day I'll get home again.

Great idea, Jera, on selling cookies. I know you will have great success. (cookies, mmmmm...)

8:44 am

amandacath

8:44 am

ch1212

Haz, I have to laugh at myself -- I picked up on your ra8 clue with the "ununusal ra 4/4" and monkeytyped all kinds of impossible combos looking for a ra 4/4 that is hardly ever used... then I finally realized what you meant :)))

8:44 am

ktf

Thanks Haz. Will work on the bastard.

8:45 am

Angelsong

8:45 am

Haz1558

8:47 am

Jera

I'm very happy for you TSM...

8:47 am

capone

ge/9 a yes album from the 80's, big ge*******

te/9 agent that can cause birth defects

8:47 am

8:48 am

8:48 am

ktf

8:49 am

capone

8:54 am

Angelsong

I don't understand the te0 clue. any way to break it down?

8:54 am

kissmyglass04

this one is a little more "theme" appropriate... why is this all i think off when someone says st patricks day? drink much?...*passes around glasses of green beer so she doesnt wallow in her sorrows alone* :)

8:55 am

Angelsong

te9, I meant, not te0...:)

8:55 am

kissmyglass04

ttfn mm, come back later

8:55 am

amandacath

te9 = prefix for trillion + preposition + Mr. Hackman - last letter

8:55 am

capone

its st patricks day?

8:56 am

mab

An agent, such as a virus, a drug, or radiation, that causes malformation of an embryo or fetus = te9

8:56 am

Haz1558

te 9 - If you have the te5/10 relating to the earth, remove one consonant. Then add a preposition that sounds like a number, then add part of Mr Hackman's first name.

8:56 am

ToeSockMonkey

Yeah it is

8:57 am

ToeSockMonkey

SSsssshh! Capone! Don't tell them that! lol

Walk on by, walk on through
So sad to beseach your love so head on
Stay in this night, stay tonight in a lie

Come on and take me away
Come on and take me away
Come on, take me home
Home again

Hi babe (((xx))) : )

9:33 am

Haz1558

Well, I've finished the grid, so should really head off and do something useful. Any clues needed before I go?

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

hi lola! : )

9:34 am

lola100

Hey babe! (((xx))) : )

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

congrats, haz!

9:34 am

Atalante

actually, same here Anj. I got used to Zooropa and now I love it, but the others ... bleh. Love Atomic Bomb though and The Joshua Tree is probably my favourite album ever. We went to the Joshua Tree National Park last year, and the music *fits*, really really fits with the land and the heat and everythign

9:34 am

amandacath

oh haz, before you go - the on7 and or6 please!

9:34 am

lola100

hi une and temple : )

9:37 am

Haz1558

or 6 - first three letters that of musical instrument or part of body. Follow that by three letters meaning to consume food.

9:37 am

david.m1fcf

Mmmmm....just put in onerier and Babble took it, went to check the meaning, and dictionary.com gave me "No entry found for onerier." - Have we found an error?

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

way to go, haz!

9:37 am

Haz1558

The on7 looks like a comparative adjective for the 'first' number.

9:38 am

Haz1558

david- quite often the word doesn't have a meaning listed in the dictionary. We're just glad of the points!

9:38 am

amandacath

David - please don't give away the words. There are lots of them that the dic doesn't have a def for

9:39 am

amandacath

Thanks haz! Thought I'd tried all combos after those first three letters

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know - i just still love them! maybe it's that for a long time there was not much going on musically, besides pop...maybe it's my growing up in the age of supergroups, and their being the only true one around...

9:40 am

david.m1fcf

Sorry, couldn;t think of a way to describe it, without giving the word away. So if dictionary.com and encarta don;t have it, what does it mean?

9:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - I'll head off now. Happy hunting!

9:41 am

Jacula

on7/28 means more given to acting in opposition to others

9:42 am

david.m1fcf

Thanks, Jacula - in that case, the clue should be what my boss does best! :-)

9:43 am

lola100

hi jacs. Aaaah, so it is a word to describe my three year old then?? : )

9:43 am

amandacath

I think it's some variant spelling of ornerier, as in more ornery

9:44 am

Jacula

Amandacath - Correct.

Hi Lola - Yes! LOL.

9:45 am

amandacath

aarg - this stupid ar5/10 is driving me crazy. I've got the one where gladiators do their thing, what's the other one?

9:46 am

david.m1fcf

got 2 pi6 words - how many more should I look for?

9:46 am

amandacath

3 more, david

9:46 am

lola100

david, pi4 x 1, pi5 x 2 and pi6 x 2 : )

9:47 am

Jacula

Well, I'm down two 3 words now and I bet I'll need a fish slap for every one of them:
an5/18
3rd re5/14 (not kingdoms or what a monarch does)
2nd tr4/4 (not the one found in an arboretum)

9:47 am

lola100

an5/18, cross! : )

9:47 am

amandacath

Jac, you'll be very an*** at yourself for not getting this one!

9:48 am

Jacula

AmandaCath - add a vowel to your ar4/4.

9:48 am

Uneaixoise

do you have tr4: a horse's gait?

9:48 am

david.m1fcf

cheers guys - much more fun than working, espec. on a friday!!

9:48 am

lola100

re5/14, add oil *** (found out to sea)

9:48 am

amandacath

re - do again to sails

9:48 am

Anj

Need to nip out for a while - BBL : )

9:49 am

lola100

tr4/4, like the horse's gait but different vowel : )

9:49 am

Jacula

I did need a fish slap for that 're'! Still looking for the other 2.

9:49 am

amandacath

Thx, Jac - is that the latin plural or what?

9:49 am

lola100

Hi everyone, sorry been lurking trying to get the grid finished.

9:58 am

Jacula

10:03 am

10:05 am

FMitch

Hi TO, how are you today?

10:05 am

Atalante

I know! I'd really love to see how other people solve the same puzzle - I wonder how different people's methods are

10:08 am

FMitch

Atalatnte, esp as 99% of the time there is only one solution to a grid.

10:08 am

lola100

sis, I did! And I managed to complete it...with a bit of swearing and cursing, lol! :D

10:09 am

FMitch

Well done lola that is more than I managed.

10:10 am

lola100

lola100

10:40 am

amandacath

Owl - I think it is some substance that causes birth defects. If that doesn't help I can break it down for you

10:40 am

lola100

temple, I spoke to her daughter on here at the beginning of the week and she didn't say anything was wrong. I told lotti we were all missing her and I'll tell her you said hi : )

10:41 am

11:03 am

balker

I really wonder about the 4 c-words - I have the c**** that can move a c**** around, unless it drops it and causes a c*****, but the fourth word escapes me completely.

11:03 am

faeriekae

(((Angel))) - Hi :)

11:10 am

11:10 am

faeriekae

{{{{MusicMom}}}} Good afternoon!

11:11 am

smaller

hi music mom!!!!
happy st p day!

11:12 am

Haz1558

Balker - children use a cr**** to colour in. The word you are looking for differs only in the fourth letter which remains the same as the box and the hole in the ground.

11:12 am

musicmom

Happy St Pat Day. (((faer and smal))))

11:12 am

smaller

Mab,
as i contemplate it further, I do believe Freud would call it reverse bullyism/productive victimization
any thoughts?

11:13 am

Haz1558

Has smaller swallowed a dictionary?

11:13 am

balker

aha! yeah, didn't know that word at all, thanks :)

11:13 am

faeriekae

LOL - Haz... I do believe she has.

11:14 am

Haz1558

Glad you got there in the end balker

11:14 am

Tigereye

Hi all :)
Hows the grid looking today?

11:14 am

Haz1558

Or has she been kidnapped and replaced by a lookalike?

11:14 am

balker

that one really bugged me, since there are so few possibles

11:15 am

faeriekae

Haz - I got it...thanks. 5 words now.....zoooommm

11:15 am

faeriekae

Hi Tiger

11:15 am

mab

Nicely put smaller. I'll reflect on that, but it sounds plausible.

11:15 am

Haz1558

Tigereye - the grid is okay. Faerie and smaller are just eating it up.

11:16 am

musicmom

Hi Tiger - my husband would love your icon.

11:16 am

faeriekae

*tee hee* yes we are. 6 words and still going.

11:16 am

Tigereye

It's a photo I took in Dublin last summer

11:17 am

Tiger - very cool

11:17 am

LOL Haz,

musicmom

Hi cait

Tigereye

Hi caitlyn :)

11:19 am

mab

A pint of Guiness is like an entire meal. A really awful meal. It is virtually syrup. But then I don't care or anything beer/lager like. Yech.

11:19 am

smaller

hi cait!

11:19 am

Haz1558

fr5/18 describes what you get at the top of Guinness.

11:20 am

faeriekae

Hi Cait

11:20 am

balker

mmm

11:20 am

Tigereye

I totaly agree mab, but for st patrick's day i can cope with an icon

11:21 am

musicmom

Guiness is excellent for making beer bread.

11:21 am

mab

Oh yes. Guiness looks good to me. It's just that flavor thing....

11:21 am

faeriekae

Thanks again Haz...10 words.

11:21 am

caitlyn

mab when we went to Ireland a few years ago I was made to try the Guiness wow it was brilliant.But when i ordered it at home it tasted nothing like the other one

11:23 am

faeriekae

My phone has not stopped ringing today...what is up with that. Talked to Connie (sister) for nearly 2hrs and also to my friend Flash for 35mins. And 3 phone sales calls and I'll thinking of just letting it ring the rest of the day and not answer so I can get my work done here. LOL

11:23 am

smaller

did kissmyglass every tell us what she was going to say?

11:23 am

balker

what, no terran? tsk

11:24 am

smaller

what's terran?

11:24 am

musicmom

heheeh Faerie - do you have an answering machine? That's what they are for.

11:24 am

faeriekae

No Smaller she did not. Maybe she decided that we weren't smart enough to answer since we so few words. LOL

11:25 am

mab

I think pigotry is a fine word.

11:25 am

smaller

i tried terran but not for any legitimate reason. is it actually something?

11:25 am

balker

a terran is someone from earth

11:25 am

smaller

ohhhhhh

11:25 am

Haz1558

I'm worried that she has shot her office manager and she's been dragged off by the police....

11:25 am

faeriekae

Music-I do have an answering machine. I think I will let it do it's thing for a while...I'm just too busy to be bothered today. *grin*

11:26 am

musicmom

That sounds like a great idea - I would hate for you to get behind on your "work".

11:26 am

smaller

LOL Mab!

LOL Haz!

11:26 am

faeriekae

Haz - could be - maybe we should turn on the news..

11:26 am

balker

well, made it more than half way now - not bad for a second language first timer ;)

11:27 am

Angelsong

11:27 am

mab

Well done, balker! What is your first language?

Terran isn't in the grid but terra is

11:29 am

caitlyn

you are doing well balker

11:29 am

faeriekae

Danish - then yes I would say you are doing great. Haz is the lady to ask for clues....I think she may be finished.

11:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, but you're not supposed to tell anybody!

11:30 am

balker

should be clearer now ;)
goth is also in the grid

11:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, I am finished.

11:30 am

hillobeans

Generator is a word but not generate?

11:31 am

Minski

Greetings All.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

11:31 am

Tigereye

Generate is a word, the grid doesn't have enough e's for you to spell it though

11:31 am

Haz1558

Hillobeans, one of the rules of babble among those who use the chat log is that we don't post full words. Two letters only.

11:31 am

faeriekae

Smaller are you getting all this?

11:31 am

hillobeans

I'm not? Then why have a chat log because I thought this was to help people.

11:31 am

sherb

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling...

11:31 am

faeriekae

Minski Hi :)

11:31 am

caitlyn

hillobeans you are not supposed to put words into the chat log

11:32 am

Haz1558

The chat log is to help people, yes, but we give clues only, not full words.

11:32 am

Tigereye

It is, however people use it togive clues rather than actual words

11:32 am

hillobeans

Rat and Pig are words but it won't let me add them. Is this thing broken?

11:32 am

faeriekae

Hillobeans - we actually give lots of clues but not the words. Makes it a little more of a challange.

11:33 am

Tigereye

Words must be four letters or longer

11:33 am

hillobeans

Oh okay

11:33 am

smaller

Hi Minski!
HI Sherb!

faiirieiekae - ? oh....shame on you! you silly nut!

11:33 am

Haz1558

The grid only accepts four letter words and above. Otherwise we'd be here all day!

11:33 am

hillobeans

Now wait I saw at least three people give words earlier when I was lurking.

11:34 am

mab

'tis ye mun go, and I mun stay...'

Minski, who is the great artist who created your icon? It's darling.

11:34 am

jeffer

hillobeans that was one of the clearest hints i ever had!

11:34 am

smaller

Haz,
that's true b/c there are already a ton of nonsensical, babble-only words. i can't even fathom the volume 3 letter word options

11:34 am

musicmom

In my case it wasn't on purpose Hillobeans - I promptly apologized!

11:34 am

Haz1558

Occasionally people do it by accident. Today we have had some new people who aren't used to the 'rules'.

11:34 am

smaller

hillobeans,
sometimes it happens by accident too.

11:35 am

faeriekae

Jeffer - LOL

11:35 am

Minski

It took me forever to find a good different icon online. It's from a website with projects to do with children on St. Pat's Day.

11:37 am

hillobeans

I see. Well at any rate I don't wish to tear away at the rules by spoiling the grid. Feel free to crane kick me in the face next time.

11:37 am

Minski

They call it potato face

11:38 am

Hillobean - thats enough. Please for the rest of use who would like to play this game without some else being a distrubance would be nice. Clues are great but please try not to use any more of the words in your chat.

11:59 am

faeriekae

Your not hurting anyone your just not supose to use the words that are in the grid in your chat. Accidents do happen and words are sometimes used before we actually know they are there. Please just try to play the game and exchange clues "not words"

12:00 pm

Atalante

It's a movie poster for Zebra, about a man from Tipperary who raised a 1/2 horse, 1/2 zebra to race in the Grand National

12:45 pm

hurshy

grrr, how am i supposed to get or6 and on7 with no other words around them???

12:46 pm

hurshy

ooh, monkeyed the on7

12:46 pm

Vicuna

on7 is apparently an alternate spelling of more contrary and difficult to deal with. (Normally it would be spelled orn...)

12:47 pm

lola100

hursh, the or is a strange one. Take or and add 'the ***** gatsby* but leave out the second letter : )

12:48 pm

that IS weird, thanks lola

12:55 pm

hurshy

well there are three, and i have the adj related to the things you find in scotland, and the flower, do you have a different one?

12:55 pm

mab

For the pe think of what might be slang for the arctic bird.

12:55 pm

lola100

pe8, pe4/5 and ar4/6 : )

12:55 pm

Tigereye

The first is the boggy 4/5 plus sometimes vowel and the second a flower

12:56 pm

Some really strange words -- thanks for the tr Vicuna --- is it just me or is the grid unusually difficult today?

12:56 pm

12:57 pm

2:25 pm

LeslieAnn

bex are you finding the game easier with the stats panel?

2:25 pm

Anj

Lo, if you go on a journey you would be taking at... : )

2:27 pm

lola100

or6, or plus 'the ***** gatsby' less the second letter : )

2:28 pm

cybernan

Thanks, Lola

2:28 pm

lola100

on7, it means mean spirited. Sounds like more of the first number? : )

2:29 pm

Anj

*Hail, there's an or..... Roberto's place tonight! Bring a wineskin..." : )

2:29 pm

lola100

LOL! I like Anj's clue better! : D

2:29 pm

Anj

M-mom, ah, Money Pit : /

2:30 pm

musicmom

Basically. Fortunately the two contractors we have had here recently said it isn't anything structural or unsafe - just a pain in the re**

2:31 pm

musicmom

I like Anj's clue also.

2:33 pm

Anj

More work that you were planning then M-mom, but nothing terrible : )

2:34 pm

cybernan

I have two words left -- struggling with both......

on 7? -- didn't get anywhere with the more first # clue
pe 7 (last one)?

2:34 pm

musicmom

Exactly and nothing that is an emergency. I'm just a major type a personality and try to undertake it all at once.

2:34 pm

snowyowl

Hi all another late start for me - whats this one like?

2:43 pm

lola100

2:43 pm

musicmom

jason - I only played for one and a half grids before I went pro. I definitely have never regretted it.

2:44 pm

Changing my icon now, ready for b-movies...

9:58 pm

jeffer

Musicmom - thanks for great clues...

9:58 pm

Jacula

last tr4/4 - I fell on that one, too, earlier. It's not obvious this time. Think of the tall, woody plant and then change the last letter to a consonant. (One that sound like a much-lovefd British drink.)

10:00 pm

jeffer

thanks for great clues, jacula

10:01 pm

Jacula

Last tr5/12 - think marriage vows. 'An thereto I plight thee my tr***'.

It means a promise.

10:01 pm

Also looking for either of the two na 5/14 s that follow the slang for 'of course'.... boy, it's a long day today! Really working at this one, and it seems like it's the easier ones that are slipping through my grasp... or should I say gasp? (I'm verrryyyy sleeeepy)

10:27 pm

ch1212

templeowl, the ae 7/28 is the kind of thing you would put in your fish tank to make air bubbles. A machine.

10:28 pm

ch1212

templeowl, if you mean the fo4/7 between the military building and the little green amphibian, then you have the first 3 letters ... just add the second vowel.

10:29 pm

quality26

as a noob, can someone explain what ae 7/28 is?

I may be in way over my head here...

Thanks for the help though!

10:35 pm

ch1212

quality, don't get discouraged -- you can scroll back through the log to find clues (sometimes more than one) and also ask for clues. There is also a fantastic list of the first 2 letters of each word and their points at the Babblers Anonymous link on the right-hand side of the screen. That link has lots of resources too.

10:35 pm

Jacula

AE7- something that pumps air in!

10:36 pm

ilandrah

thanks circe

10:41 pm

hurshy

10:45 pm

10:52 pm

ch1212

Still looking for the last re5/14 :(

10:56 pm

Dianne, you want the re followed by what digs for oil out on the sea ... an oil r**

10:58 pm

quality26

10:59 pm

hurshy

10:59 pm

hurshy

quality - you aren't by any chance a williams grad?

10:59 pm

Dianne

11:00 pm

hurshy

dianne - i am reading a book that takes place in hong kong.

11:00 pm

quality26

I am not

11:00 pm

Dianne

Hurshy - what book?

11:01 pm

hurshy

ah...it's just i had this friend whose middle initial was Q, and when i asked him what it stood for he joked "quality" and i always called him christopher quality after that.

11:01 pm

quality26

I am off for the night.

Thanks for all the help!!

11:01 pm

hurshy

oh, dianne, it is "mrs. pollifax and the hong kong buddha" by dorothy gilman.

11:01 pm

ch1212

Diane, that one has had many stumped today... I only found it by scrolling for clues, and it's mentioned several times, so don't feel bad. Now I have to go to sleep because we are heading out tomorrow at 5:30 am (it's 10:01 here now). Good night all, and thank you again for the help and company!

11:02 pm

Dianne

Hurshy - I never even heard of that book. Is it good?

11:02 pm

ch1212

Okay, one last note: Hurshy, I adore the Mrs. Pollifax series -- have read them all. Now to bed.

11:02 pm

hurshy

good night, quality and ch1212

11:02 pm

Dianne

Bye ch1212 - have a good day tomorrow.

11:03 pm

hurshy

it's light reading, dianne, not high literature - but there is a whole series of mrs. pollifax books. they are about a widow who decides she needs some excitement and becomes an occasional spy for the CIA. :)

11:03 pm

hurshy

i'm working my way through the series as a spring break time occupier :)

11:04 pm

Dianne

hurshy - sounds like a series I would like - I love Ms. Marple stories.

11:04 pm

hurshy

yes, people do say if you like miss marple you will like mrs. pollifax. i like marple better, but pollifax is good too.

11:05 pm

sandyloo

i love who dunnits as well love morse and monk and agatha christies ect

11:05 pm

hurshy

monk was funny tonight - if implausible

11:06 pm

hurshy

sandyloo, do you like the lord peter mysteries by dorothy sayers? they are the best.

11:06 pm

hurshy

well, it's a new day here, so i will dress in my new icon... excuse me a moment

11:07 pm

hurshy

ok, refresh!

11:08 pm

Dianne

I just got "Mary Mary" by James Patterson but haven't started it yet. Saving it for when I have some time off from work (and Babble).

Books are soooo expensive here. This one is a big paperback and cost USD $20.00 - phew.

11:08 pm

hurshy

dianne - can you order off amazon or does the shipping make it cost just as much that way?

11:10 pm

Dianne

with the shipping it is almost the same. I recycle all the books i buy here - after I finish it i send it to my mother-in-law and when she finishes she give it to her 2 sissters - so one book gets at least 4 reads!

11:10 pm

hurshy

well, that's good, at least. :)

11:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty for clues - see you tomorrow - hope site is better - server went down this afternoon

11:11 pm

hurshy

what time is it now in hong kong?

11:11 pm

Dianne

Well I guess no one needs any clues so I'll go get some housework done before the flip.

11:11 pm

hurshy

bye temple!

11:12 pm

Dianne

it's 1:10pm

Hi mrp.

11:13 pm

hurshy

it must be great to have the flip in the afternoon instead of at 1 AM. i don't often get to start at the flip.

11:13 pm

hurshy

hi mrp :)

11:14 pm

Dianne

Actually it is good - I start the puzzle at lunch, go back after 5pm the I can still have time to finish up in the morning.

11:17 pm

mrpresident

hurshy, what is charlie doing to that ape?

11:18 pm

hurshy

11:18 pm

hurshy

11:19 pm

mrpresident

11:19 pm

evanonut

planet of the apes, how lovely

11:19 pm

hurshy

well, i am only 28 myself. but it is one of my dad's faves - he loves all the sequels too.

11:20 pm

hurshy

it's the "b"-est movie i can think of :)

11:20 pm

mrpresident

is it b movie icon day?

11:21 pm

hurshy
