hokie carla

bea!

8:56 am

hokie carla

the youngest just texted that he completed the Krispy Kreme Challenge in Raleigh this morning.

8:56 am

BzznBea

We almost have Tupperware!

8:56 am

BzznBea

Good for him!

8:57 am

hokie carla

I know, I keep seeing tupper

8:57 am

MollyL

Good for the running. The 12 doughnuts, not so much. Blech.

8:57 am

hokie carla

he tried it year before last and didn't finish

8:58 am

BzznBea

And the Shroud location.

8:59 am

hokie carla

yeah, he loves KK doughnuts but that's what tripped him up last time

9:00 am

hokie carla

back in the day, if they were hot and fresh I could probably eat that many, but not cold ones.

9:00 am

BzznBea

They are great if they are HOT.

9:00 am

MollyL

For some reason, I have never been a Krispy Kreme fan. But then, I am not a big doughnut lover.

9:00 am

hokie carla

yep

9:01 am

BzznBea

If we are going to have donuts, we want Duck donuts.

9:01 am

hokie carla

oh, I've always been a huge fan of KK

9:01 am

hokie carla

duck donuts is too new, I don't think I ever had any

9:01 am

BzznBea

And if in KS, it's always Daylight Donuts.

9:02 am

MollyL

Carla, Duck Doughnuts are amazing.

9:02 am

hokie carla

top row gray finally. just had to start looking for the lower T to find the top Ts.

9:03 am

hokie carla

I'm sure they are. honestly I never met a doughnut I didn't like, except for grocery store doughnuts. I hate those.

9:04 am

BzznBea

They are more of a cake donut.

9:05 am

hokie carla

I love original KK and the crullers which are more caky

9:05 am

hokie carla

I was never a huge fan of dunkin though

9:11 am

mael

I hate dunkin

9:11 am

mael

it makes me a very bad masshole :(

9:12 am

MollyL

It is worse to be Canadian and hate Tim Horton's

9:26 am

hurshy

g'mornin

9:27 am

hurshy

hmm, how do we have tupperware if there's no such thing as tupper

9:28 am

hurshy

yay, nice easy top row grey!

9:30 am

MollyL

Because it is named after Earl Tupper

9:31 am

rururocks

I heard Earl lost his lid eventually

9:31 am

Aloyisius

lol ru !

9:32 am

MollyL

Yes Ru, then he sealed himself up in his room

9:33 am

MollyL

He called it his container

9:33 am

hurshy

ack, was it air tight?

9:34 am

MollyL

Only if it was burped.

9:34 am

hurshy

poor baby

9:34 am

MollyL

Does anyone remember burping Tupperware?

9:34 am

rururocks

not

9:35 am

rururocks

not me that is

9:35 am

rururocks

i remember the tupperware parties my mom would go to

9:36 am

MollyL

Those were mostly an excuse to get drunk in the afternoon

9:36 am

hurshy

phantom: output

9:41 am

rururocks

I guess hurshy can't outpet her cats

9:42 am

hurshy

speaking of canadians, i was going to call phantom: poutine but apparently it wouldn't count even if it were here

9:44 am

hurshy

yeah it's sad i haven't found a single compound word starting with out- but i am still missing one of those O so there COULD be one yet

9:44 am

rururocks

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care for poutine

9:45 am

Shirlockc

poutine is delish but it's really not good for you

9:45 am

hurshy

i think Joey would (from Friends). he'd say "what's not to like? fries - good. cheese curds - good. gravy - good."

9:46 am

hurshy

found an 8! pr8

9:46 am

rururocks

there is sort of an out word

9:47 am

hurshy

but not a COMPOUND

9:47 am

hurshy

assuming you mean ou5

9:48 am

rururocks

yep.. but it has out :D

9:49 am

hurshy

you sound like you are done with that O, is that right?

9:49 am

MollyL

poutine sounds disgusting

9:56 am

hurshy

if a man's wife always told him which tie he had to wear you could call her a tierant

9:57 am

BzznBea

To me the brown gravy in poutine doesn't sound good. I want cream gravy and sausage over those fries and curd.

9:59 am

Shirlockc

name the shakespearan character

10:00 am

10:10 am

BzznBea

Thanks, but I need too many yet.

10:13 am

BzznBea

I did get the 9, but not in the R's

10:13 am

hurshy

ooh i just got it too!!

10:15 am

BzznBea

Do you have the other word from that tile?

10:16 am

hurshy

yes

10:16 am

BzznBea

Just tell me if it starts like the 9.

10:16 am

hurshy

yes

10:16 am

BzznBea

thanks

10:17 am

BzznBea

Got it.

10:18 am

BzznBea

good morning everyone :)

11:08 am

swmbo

Hello everyone. Here is one Canadians opinion of poutine: Yetch! Gross! Yuck!

11:08 am

cybernan

Just read the chog -- as the only Canadian rep here I would like to point out that poutine is a French Canadian phenom -- certainly not as appreciated here in the west. Unfortuneately a lot of Canadians seem to think that the western edge of Canada ends at the Manitoba-Ontario border. Westerners are often left feeling like we don't count simply because we don't have the population to equal Quebec and Ontario.

11:09 am

cybernan

Hi swmbo -- you snuck in as I was writing my comment :)

11:10 am

swmbo

Funny Nan, that is how easterners feel too!

11:12 am

swmbo

And I want to point out that it is a Quebecois delicacy, not French Canadian as we Acadians see it lol.

11:12 am

cybernan

I can imagine. I would really like to see more regional representation in our government --- a minimum for the less populous provinces that would balance things a little more.

11:13 am

cybernan

point taken swmbo

11:13 am

swmbo

Yes, Quebec and Ontario seem to rule us all

11:14 am

swmbo

Mind you, I find many Acadian dishes bland, tricot for example.

11:14 am

cybernan

mind you what we have certainly beats the chaos going on to the south right now. How did Elon Musk get the authority to decimate the civil service?

11:14 am

swmbo

Fricot that should read

11:15 am

cybernan

what is frico?

11:15 am

swmbo

I am stunned by Musks easy takeover of whatever he seems to want

11:16 am

swmbo

fricot is an Acadian soup, chicken and potatoes most. Bland to my taste

11:18 am

swmbo

I am off in search of the no9

11:19 am

swmbo

Found it! Wow, easy!

11:20 am

cybernan

was wondering what the 9 is -- common word?

11:21 am

swmbo

Not sure how much it is used but it refers to a person who does not express herself in script

11:21 am

cybernan

got it

11:22 am

cybernan

figured it was either that or not a season which I tried first

11:29 am

hurshy

well no wonder i couldn't find that last upper O

11:29 am

cybernan

and ?

11:29 am

swmbo

Why couldn’t you?

11:30 am

hurshy

it's very weird

11:30 am

hurshy

ou6/27, first of the ou words

11:32 am

hurshy

you win weird word of the day, ou6!

11:35 am

hokie carla

rehi - all I can see is output

11:36 am

swmbo

Gets my vote for weird word of the day

11:38 am

cybernan

not seeing it

11:38 am

hurshy

it would kinda sorta rhyme with what you sing to get a baby to sleep

11:38 am

cybernan

it can't begin with out if it is the first of the ou words

11:39 am

hurshy

correct, nan

11:39 am

cybernan

got it - ty

11:40 am

cybernan

no def, of course

11:42 am

hokie carla

now why would they use words with definitions

11:43 am

cybernan

found my last a -- a babblet

11:44 am

hokie carla

wonder what my last O on the bottom is

11:46 am

cybernan

still missing 2 there

11:47 am

cybernan

I'm assuming you have posted the death notice and circle the planet

11:47 am

hokie carla

yes, and one who does circle the planet

11:48 am

hokie carla

the death notice is from the other O though

11:48 am

cybernan

ok - now I am missing what you are

11:49 am

cybernan

right - the preposition is the other one

11:53 am

hokie carla

I can only find 2 A's. I have ab4 and an5.

11:54 am

cybernan

got it -- want a clue?

11:54 am

hokie carla

yes please

11:54 am

cybernan

or 6 - more like a globe

11:54 am

cybernan

another stupid word

11:55 am

hokie carla

well that's dumb, thanks

11:55 am

cybernan

Hey --- do you think Trump and Musk dreamed up this word list?

11:55 am

hokie carla

they are nowhere near nerdy enough for that

11:56 am

cybernan

no but they do have the stupidity factor

11:58 am

hokie carla

argh, was so close to getting the W on first look.

11:58 am

swmbo

The stable genius and the troll? No, too important to waste their time on anything cerebral
