Good morning, Babblers. :)

8:43 am

MollyL

Just for Ru, close to that horrible singing group from Sweden is in the grid.

8:47 am

mael

phantom: horoscope

8:54 am

MollyL

I have always thought that was such an unfortunate word. It sounds like something you would use to scope for whores.

8:57 am

mael

hah

9:15 am

hokie carla

I have phantom horror and periscope but had not "seen" horoscope

9:18 am

Small hint for the ca8, please.

9:42 am

hokie carla

hmm, I didn't know what the 8 was. will look.

9:44 am

Aloyisius

just found it; ca8 is a pl.. do you have ca7?

9:45 am

hokie carla

I was assuming that was a case and was trying to make a ca7.

9:45 am

hokie carla

the case

9:46 am

hokie carla

sometimes I don't know how things come out of my fingers when I'm typing

9:47 am

welki

morning - found it. singing - how are things in gloca7 (misspelled)

9:47 am

Aloyisius

looked up the meaning: an unscrupulous secret society..

9:48 am

Aloyisius

good hint, welki

9:50 am

rururocks

scrabbler gets the tiara today

9:51 am

welki

9:52 am

rururocks

pre-mafia if you will aloy

9:53 am

Aloyisius

aha.. nice word for nasty business

9:56 am

hokie carla

that must be a song I don't know

10:00 am

welki

it's an oldie, a real oldie from the 40s

10:00 am

Aloyisius

yes, I was thinking hokie is too young to recognize it.

10:10 am

rururocks

<--thinks ru is too young to remember it as well

10:14 am

hokie carla

well I've sure tried every combo of 5 letters between ca and s

10:17 am

MollyL

Look up "Finian's Rainbow Songs"

10:17 am

hokie carla

finally, just had to go the other direction 🤣

10:18 am

MollyL

It is a song about a fictional village in Ireland

10:19 am

MollyL

<---Not too young to remember it or have seen the movie (several times)

10:19 am

hokie carla

what movie? same name as song?

10:20 am

MollyL

No, Finian's Rainbow

10:21 am

MollyL

And the gloca7 is really two words

10:21 am

welki

<--- thinking hokie's not spent too much time in bars on st. patrick's day

10:21 am

hokie carla

never heard of it

10:21 am

hokie carla

well that's true

10:22 am

rururocks

<--hasn't hung out in irish bars either

10:22 am

Aloyisius

made popular by Finian

10:22 am

rururocks

Scottish bars yes.. irish no

10:22 am

Aloyisius

Finian's Rainbow movie

10:22 am

MollyL

It came out in the 60's. Way before your time. But Fred Astaire was in it. And Petula Clark.

10:22 am

MollyL

Ru, your Irish friend needs to fix that.

10:23 am

rururocks

my Great Irish friend passed away sadly

10:23 am

MollyL

Oh God, I'm sorry.

10:24 am

Amy Rumler

I remember that movie, I need to see if I can find it to watch again!

10:25 am

rururocks

It's fine molly.. it was a while ago.

10:25 am

rururocks

i would have gone to Ireland with her for sure... but ..

10:25 am

MollyL

Are we talking about the same friend? The one who could drink like Marion Ravenwood?

10:26 am

rururocks

oh no.. he's still around.... I kind of doubt he'd know about Petula Clark

10:27 am

MollyL

I bet he knows about Irish bars.

10:27 am

rururocks

no one better

10:29 am

rururocks

in fact he just got back from Ireland and I got a ton of pictures of him drinking in a zillion bars

10:29 am

rururocks

he's one of those instagram freaks

10:32 am

MollyL

Today's version of the people who used to bore you to death with slide shows

10:34 am

rururocks

yeah... it's really an annoying habit of his.. he has to do photos of everything he does... and is nearly always on his social media. It's like an addiction for him

10:36 am

rururocks

and he dates women half his age.. which I find creepy

10:41 am

Soodle

<—— Confesses to have spent quite a lot of time in Irish bars.

10:43 am

MollyL

I don't get people who are in love with photos of themself. It's Narcissus all over again.

11:05 am

rururocks

how can you not Soodle... every fourth Building is a pub

11:06 am

origami

11:07 am
