1:44 pm

moolingwa

I need a nap also

1:51 pm

hokie carla

now just waiting for spackling to dry. I have done these two holes that had wall anchors like 4 times now and it still looks bad. I think this is the last one and then I'll live with it.

1:56 pm

BzznBea

watching spackle dry is better than watching paint dry

1:58 pm

hokie carla

yeah, because it starts out pink and then turns white

1:59 pm

hokie carla

this was a thin layer. have already sanded and repainted. now going to drill some holes!

2:23 pm

hurshy

your lower E was a sullier of one's good name? or was that unrelated to that

2:24 pm

hurshy

oh maybe it was a clue for eu8? i just wondered cause i am missing one lower E

2:27 pm

BzznBea

the eu8 is from the upper e

2:29 pm

BzznBea

ce??

2:31 pm

hokie carla

I was complaining that sullier wasn't a word

2:31 pm

hokie carla

my lower E was EL4

2:31 pm

hokie carla

I didn't know my missing EU was an 8 because moo doesn't give that kind of useful info 🤣

2:34 pm

hokie carla

he just said it's EU in front of another word in the grid. that could be 210 options, 55 of which I don't have 😭🤣

2:36 pm

wht

Well, since it is an eu8, then it is eu in front of a 6 letter word in the grid. There are only 29 of those.

2:40 pm

wht

It is eu + a person who writes opinions about books, plays or movies.

2:42 pm

hokie carla

LOL, don't bring real facts into this! I am multi-tasking. and thank you for the clue. and I did not have that 6.

2:43 pm

hokie carla

but also, I didn't know it was an 8 when he said that. but I would need to back out 4s and 5s I guess.

2:51 pm

hurshy

how many EL4 are there? i have 3

2:51 pm

hokie carla

I am seriously losing my mind. no, I wouldn't back out 4s and 5s because it could've been eu + a 4 or a 5

2:52 pm

hokie carla

there are 2 EL4. do you have both EL6? I picked up a weird one from the chat when I got here.

2:52 pm

hokie carla

sorry, there are 3 🤣

2:52 pm

hurshy

oh then i need that weird el6

2:53 pm

hokie carla

ends in picnic pest

2:55 pm

hurshy

ok, gotta stick that in my brain near the version with e instead of a

2:55 pm

hurshy

did you finish the third row A?

2:55 pm

hurshy

i still need one there

2:55 pm

hokie carla

yeah, just looked it up and noticed it spelled with an e

2:55 pm

hurshy

2:56 pm

hokie carla

2:56 pm

2:57 pm

hokie carla

2:57 pm

hurshy

oh nvm got the U!

2:57 pm

hokie carla

2:58 pm

hurshy

2:58 pm

hurshy

2:58 pm

hokie carla

3:36 pm

hurshy

yeah happy for any guesses you may have mool

3:36 pm

moolingwa

there's a G 5 that has a seeming plural but no singular

3:37 pm

hokie carla

gracias

3:37 pm

moolingwa

and there's another g that looks french

3:37 pm

hokie carla

me gusta

3:37 pm

hurshy

ok i have a pl no singular, gu5 (thank you, Scarlet Letter)

3:37 pm

moolingwa

there's a crappy f...no really, it's crappy

3:37 pm

hurshy

yes have that

3:38 pm

hurshy

is the ga5/16 the one you think looks french?

3:38 pm

hokie carla

once again I can't look up

3:38 pm

moolingwa

there there's an F that's on the blink, but without the z, and double the letter for extra fun

3:38 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that was the one I was thinking hursh

3:38 pm

moolingwa

there's also a g4 that you might be missing

3:38 pm

hurshy

ahh, i needed to double the letter.

3:39 pm

hurshy

let me see, i have 9 g4

3:39 pm

moolingwa

about the s who is a ruler in a certain part of the world?

3:39 pm

hokie carla

I have that one

3:39 pm

moolingwa

10 g4s

3:40 pm

hokie carla

ah, I only have 9 g4 as well

3:40 pm

moolingwa

there's a comparative l7 that doesn't look like it'd be a comparative

3:40 pm

hurshy

yes someone mentioned aladdin earlier

3:41 pm

hokie carla

just found a superlative L7 earlier

3:41 pm

moolingwa

maybe the s4 paeon?

3:41 pm

hurshy

well i need TWO S so it could be a pair

3:41 pm

moolingwa

there's a comparative s7

3:41 pm

hurshy

same with G

3:42 pm

moolingwa

there's only one s pair, and it's an easy one

3:42 pm

hurshy

ok, got my last G4

3:42 pm

moolingwa

a lot of s4s

3:42 pm

hurshy

THAT IS WHAT I MISSED - the easy pair

3:42 pm

moolingwa

oops :)

3:44 pm

moolingwa

ah, found that a

3:44 pm

hurshy

what is it what is it

3:44 pm

moolingwa

misheard lyric of a certain leonard cohen song?

3:45 pm

moolingwa

or maybe if you were very inebriated and tried singing it and fell asleep part way through :)

3:46 pm

hurshy

is it a 6?

3:46 pm

moolingwa

5

3:47 pm

hurshy

i wonder if i'm even thinking of the right song

3:47 pm

moolingwa

only has three different letters in it

3:48 pm

hurshy

ok then i think i am thinking of the right song

3:48 pm

hokie carla

I think moo's talking about the aa5 we have

3:48 pm

hurshy

got it

3:48 pm

BzznBea

ends like the hawaii dance

3:48 pm

moolingwa

well if you did the dance in reverse :)

3:49 pm

hurshy

no he's talking about an al5/12

3:49 pm

moolingwa

no actually BB is right

3:49 pm

hokie carla

ah, got it, thx

3:49 pm

hurshy

a + Lil Bub's dude's daughter, too - but that's very niche

3:49 pm

hokie carla

you were thinking the hawaiian party?

3:49 pm

moolingwa

yeah

3:49 pm

moolingwa

3:50 pm

hokie carla

I still haven't found the filipino la5/12

3:50 pm

moolingwa

which vaguely looks like that l5 from before

3:50 pm

hurshy

ok, back to G. i have 5 fives, no 6s, one 7

3:50 pm

moolingwa

maybe someone with dyslexia who hosted hawaiian feasts for that l

3:51 pm

moolingwa

ah, well hursh....you're the problem on the G ;)

3:51 pm

hokie carla

I thought you just needed a G4, hursh

3:51 pm

hokie carla

I still need a G4

3:51 pm

moolingwa

maybe you need the bird hoke...which you probably didn't even know was a bird

3:52 pm

hurshy

no, i found the G4, i have 10 now, it was just that i needed TWO G, now i only need one

3:52 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure that's true, even if I have it

3:52 pm

moolingwa

I didn't know it was a bird, because it vaguely looks like the indian water buffalo...

3:52 pm

moolingwa

g6 hursh

3:52 pm

hokie carla

I have a sea bird g4

3:52 pm

moolingwa

different obscure bird

3:53 pm

hokie carla

BRB

3:53 pm

hurshy

mool are you talking about the one that is like bird poop with the last letter cut off?

3:53 pm

moolingwa

yep, for hoke

3:53 pm

moolingwa

you need the g6

3:54 pm

hurshy

i know, i was just trying to help hokie along the way

3:54 pm

moolingwa

which I only found earlier, because someone shared the stats

3:54 pm

moolingwa

if you want me to clue explicitly I can, otherwise I gave you a very obscure clue before

3:54 pm

hurshy

got it!

3:55 pm

moolingwa

woot!

3:55 pm

hurshy

yes, i understood the obscure clue like... as i was getting the word. not entirely sure which came first, lol

3:55 pm

hurshy

CC L R T, 1-2-1-1

3:56 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it was pretty obscure, but I thought it was fun

3:56 pm

hurshy

T is the lower left so pretty much has to be TA

3:57 pm

moolingwa

ah, yes

3:57 pm

moolingwa

perhaps the bone?

3:57 pm

moolingwa

oh nm, it's probably the 6

3:57 pm

hurshy

have that

3:57 pm

moolingwa

that's obscure

3:58 pm

moolingwa

apparently it's hebrew

3:58 pm

hurshy

yes probably obscure 6

4:00 pm

hurshy

got it

4:00 pm

moolingwa

yes, the heightened pronoun does it!

4:01 pm

hurshy

got a ce5!!

4:01 pm

moolingwa

have a few of those to be sure :)

4:01 pm

moolingwa

possibly one more left

4:01 pm

hurshy

the one i just got rhymes with french for thanks

4:02 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, have that one

4:02 pm

moolingwa

there's a few odd ones in there

4:02 pm

hurshy

i have 7 ce5 altogether

4:02 pm

moolingwa

my last 5 was also a ce5

4:02 pm

hurshy

but as you say, could be one more

4:03 pm

moolingwa

I have one more :)

4:03 pm

hurshy

YES, there was one more

4:03 pm

moolingwa

C and L remaining

4:03 pm

moolingwa

a 6 and a 7...not sure which is which

4:03 pm

hurshy

for me it is R and L, 4 and 7

4:04 pm

moolingwa

so guessing it's L7

4:04 pm

hurshy

so maybe that means the L is the 7

4:04 pm

moolingwa

you really should get the r4

4:04 pm

hurshy

i have one la7 and 3 li7s

4:04 pm

moolingwa

me too

4:04 pm

hurshy

ok yes got the r4!

4:05 pm

hurshy

ce6 no gluten for you, cu6... looks spanish

4:05 pm

moolingwa

I have the ce6

4:05 pm

moolingwa

did not have the spanish sounding one...have it now thax

4:05 pm

hurshy

i did not mention ci6 and cr6 cause they are more everyday words

4:06 pm

moolingwa

didn't even attempt anything like that...so great clue

4:06 pm

hurshy

ok good

4:06 pm

hurshy

now for our final L7!!!

4:06 pm

moolingwa

letsget it

4:07 pm

hokie carla

do you have the most pop idol anagram?

4:07 pm

moolingwa

it's not a celebration of fibbers

4:07 pm

hurshy

is yours being slow or is it just my internet

4:07 pm

moolingwa

because that I have

4:08 pm

hurshy

most pop idol anagram... ummmmm

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

moolingwa

garret?

4:09 pm

hokie carla

4:09 pm

4:09 pm

moolingwa

I remember the hair

4:10 pm

hurshy

4:10 pm

hokie carla

I'll gladly accept that definition, hurshy

4:10 pm

moolingwa

4:12 pm

hokie carla

4:13 pm

moolingwa

I don't believe I've ever worn a do-rag

4:13 pm

hurshy

ok i got it

4:13 pm

hokie carla

pretty sure I have not

4:13 pm

hurshy

you have to reduce the double cons in the la8 to a single

4:13 pm

BzznBea

mr. bea wears a dorag when it is really ht outside.

4:13 pm

moolingwa

4:16 pm

hokie carla

4:16 pm

nrkii

oh, thanks for the li7 clue too... as a child of the 70's, I appreciate that

4:17 pm

nrkii

for the LA5, it's important to start from first column L to get it

4:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey nrk, feeling better?

4:17 pm

nrkii

there is a combination that's only possible from that L

4:17 pm

nrkii

hi TO, yes, nearly there

4:17 pm

nrkii

canceled dance for tonight though, because of weather

4:19 pm

nrkii

for g4, I'm still missing 2 G words, but I have 4 ga4, 1 GL4, 5 GU4

4:20 pm

hokie carla

that should be it for g4 for you then because he said there were 10

4:20 pm

hokie carla

and I only have 4 gu4

4:20 pm

nrkii

okay, so which are you missing?

4:20 pm

moolingwa

kind of a lame word in squaredle, but done

4:20 pm

hokie carla

maybe an obscure bird

4:20 pm

hokie carla

wow, that was fast

4:20 pm

moolingwa

5 gu4s

4:21 pm

moolingwa

hursh gave a crappy clue for it before

4:21 pm

moolingwa

4:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

good. i had an appointment at 1 that could not be rescheduled. getting a little dicey when I started for home.

4:21 pm

nrkii

there is a sea bird gu4, and it's plural gu5, and then another gu4 that loses one of the double letters in the gu5

4:21 pm

hokie carla

I have those

4:21 pm

nrkii

the obscure bird is the one that is almost bat poop

4:22 pm

nrkii

there is the gu4 of wind

4:22 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks. was sure I had tried the bat poop one

4:22 pm

nrkii

and the gu4 of Mexico

4:22 pm

nrkii

oh good!

4:23 pm

hokie carla

4:24 pm

nrkii

TO, I had an appointment this afternoon too... not a pleasant drive home

4:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

sitting here with lantern and plugged in, hoping the preemptive pine tree trimming keeps damage to a minimum

4:26 pm

nrkii

I think I have to just list for last 10

4:26 pm

nrkii

I am losing steam

4:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:37 pm

nrkii

I hate when I keep trying and trying to monkey a 6-letter word, only to finally realize that my last G is a FIVE letter word

4:37 pm

Gillie

Yes, Enable definitely got it from Hip Hop

4:38 pm

72 Temple Owl
