12:01 am

hootowl

There's those esses you always want Nan

12:02 am

NatLT

I am not sure why, but it always takes me a long time to load after the flip

12:02 am

chic

Nat, Grey Goose Vodka is the best..

12:02 am

cybernan

Lot's of them -- lovely!

12:03 am

hootowl

Lots of luck - only 7 vowels!
Yes - grey goose id great and the bottles are better!

12:04 am

NatLT

i agree, for the price and the taste gotta love the goose, Vox is also quite tasty.... a lady stumped me the other day, she aked for f'ing vodka, but she meant effin ( thought she was really pissed lol)

12:05 am

Dirtster

Ok, ran out of time, missed the last puzzle by less than 10. But now I have time to update my icon!

12:05 am

hootowl

You def lost me on that one Nat. Splain please.

12:06 am

pinecone05

I once missed a 400 word babble puzzle by 1 word...boy was I sad...couldn't babble for a week

12:06 am

cybernan

133 words: 1x8, 8x7

12:06 am

chic

How are we going to get 133 words out of this one? and no 'e's

12:07 am

NatLT

ok, so this women came into the bar I work at and said "do you guys have f-in vodka" I thought she was using the f word without saying it, but there is a vodak called effin

12:08 am

hootowl

pinecone I bleed with you! I thought I had finished one and found out the next day it decided a word it had accepted wasn't acceptable. Pain in the a**! Now I check after I've finished. - OFTEN!

12:08 am

cybernan

This is going to be interesting with no e!

12:08 am

Panhandle

how about that! The Babble dictionary includes urban slang! (ph 4/6)

12:09 am

hootowl

to me, 133 means a lot of weird words and atoz to find them!

12:10 am

hootowl

Panhandle - you will find the Babble dictionary changes from day-to-day and whatever whim hits it!

12:10 am

Panhandle

excellent :)

12:11 am

chic

B 7/40

12:11 am

Debs40ish

c7/32

12:13 am

Stoner

Being a beginner....I would like to ask why a word I "know" is a word isn't accepted. Punched in 3 times...can I go ahead and type it out on this chat page? I know we shouldn't give away words.

12:13 am

chic

B 8/50

12:13 am

NatLT

if it isn't accepted you can type it

12:13 am

Stoner

tophat?

12:14 am

NatLT

never heard that word, is it a proper noun?

12:14 am

chic

Stoner, it is the program based on another dictionary because I have words in a dictionary I use that are accepted all the time...Oh Well....

12:15 am

Panhandle

chic: are you asking for hints for B7/40 and B 8/50?

12:16 am

Stoner

like the old song " putting on my tophat.... putting on my white gloves"...I think....

12:16 am

chic

No Panhandle, the 'game' at the flip is to find the longest words; it's too early for clues....

12:17 am

Panhandle

perhaps tophat is, more correctly, actually "top hat" or "top-hat"?

12:18 am

chic

As I a 'Pro' I can flip to the stats on left and see the word sizes....

12:18 am

Panhandle

ah - thanks chic. I thought it might be something like that but wasn't sure.
What is the longest word? (I dont have the stats)

12:18 am

NatLT

8 letters

12:18 am

cybernan

wow -- found the 7 & 8!

12:19 am

chic

one 8 letter and 8 seven letter ones....

12:20 am

Dirtster

Ok, have fun all. Gotta drag myself away and watch TV then sleep, so I'm fresh to play all day tomorrow. Good luck.

12:21 am

chic

'nite, Dirster, cute kitten...

12:22 am

hootowl

Ok - this finishes me! I'm going to bed! Nat - woulf can give you my e-mail addy when you want it. I love meeting people I met online. Heck - it's how I met my BF!
See ya tmorrow night.
Night all!

12:22 am

Dirtster

'nite chic... ok, really, I'm leaving....

12:23 am

NatLT

12:24 am

andy12489

Got 21 words, but short ones only. GOod night all, thanks fora ll your help. It was a fabulous feeling to complete my first babble.

Thanks to all.

12:25 am

cybernan

Good night, hootowl :)

12:25 am

NatLT

night andy!

12:25 am

Ornith

Hmm. I like how some of these "words" aren't real according to the dictionary link.

12:27 am

NatLT

yeah, ornith, you'll have that...makes me wonder about why some words are real according to some and not to all

12:27 am

Bluesmoke

I am a virgin player. When I click on the letters ...nothing happens. Am I not getting something?

12:28 am

Ornith

I typed in something that looked like a word, had it take, and then wanted to know what it meant... apparently nothing

12:28 am

Ornith

bluesmoke, you have to type them in the little box underneath, not click them.

12:29 am

NatLT

Blue, you have to type the words in the box below the grid, clicking doesn't and shouldn't do anyhting

12:29 am

chic

'nite, hoot and andy!

12:29 am

Douglas

Now go away, or I will tont you a second time...

12:29 am

Bluesmoke

Got it Ornith. Thanks a lot

12:30 am

NatLT

doug, was that a monty python reference, welcome to the game!

12:30 am

ca$hmyre

clue on c 7/32? please :)

12:31 am

Douglas

A famous coan..what is the sound of one synapse snapping?

12:31 am

Ornith

Y'know douglas, that's "taunt"....(which is why it won't take "tont", if you were trying it)
....silly k'nig-it!

12:32 am

Douglas

How many words are in this puzzle, or do I really want to know, so that I can experience the full humiliation?

12:32 am

cybernan

t 7/32

12:32 am

NatLT

133

12:32 am

ca$hmyre

i think someone said 133. i've only got 47 now

12:34 am

Douglas

panicoty...isn't that like manicotti?

12:35 am

Douglas

I'm at 52, but I'm trying to not use the community...

12:36 am

Douglas

4/5 is what my mind is about to do...

12:36 am

forresto

Soba is so a word ( ._.)
bah

12:37 am

Angelsong

is the b4/6 part of the b7 and b8?

12:37 am

Ornith

A tasty word at that, forresto. It must be counting it as foreign or something.

12:38 am

justafreep

it is for me, angelsong

12:38 am

ca$hmyre

angelsong, i think so. bo 4, 7, 8

12:38 am

Douglas

The b 4/6 is not a prefix of the b7 or b8

12:39 am

forresto

SOBA is in The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition... http://dictionary.reference.co m/search?q=soba

12:40 am

ca$hmyre

if tuille was ok in yesterday's, soba should be ok today!

12:40 am

Ornith

re soba: only as an acronym though. doesn't have soba as in buckwheat noodles.

12:40 am

Douglas

On further review, the b 4/6 might be a prefix of the b8, but it's not a prefix of the b7

12:42 am

chic

not the first bo 4 but the second bo4 is part of the 7 and 8, angelsong

12:42 am

ruthy

morning all

12:42 am

cybernan

a 7/32

12:43 am

ca$hmyre

clue us in, cybernan

12:43 am

Douglas

I've got it too, but it's not a word I ever use...

12:43 am

Douglas

Noah should be a valid word...

12:44 am

Douglas

s 4/5, a person who keeps the Sabbath...and everything else he can get his hands on...

12:45 am

chic

Hi, ruthy!

12:46 am

Douglas

s 5/12, more than one of s 4/5

12:47 am

Douglas

b 8/50 Woo-hoo!

12:48 am

forresto

it's showing noodles for me ( ^_^)
so·ba n. A Japanese noodle made with buckwheat flour. [Japanese, buckwheat, buckwheat noodle.]

12:50 am

grigs

yay, b 8/50! i had the first two vowels switched for the longest time - wanted the twirler to be in there. the band geek in me, i guess :>

12:51 am

Douglas

suffixes should not be words...Grr!

12:52 am

ca$hmyre

54, 553 pts. time to sleep...

12:53 am

chic

Hittin' the sheets...ciao for now!

12:53 am

Ornith

I'm at 44 and stuck... gotta wait till the stats get posted. in the meantime, sudoku!

12:53 am

cybernan

Good night Chic.

12:53 am

Douglas

I want nabob to be a word, as in "nattering nabobs of negativism..." but it isn't, and all my wanting won't make a difference...

12:54 am

NatLT

finally got the 8, now I don't feel so left out

12:54 am

grigs

go nat go!

12:54 am

getup

80 and 712, getting light headed and head hurts

12:55 am

NatLT

night schi, night cash

12:55 am

Ornith

it's a word, it's just not in the puzzle. I keep being like "argh, the y is over there, or I could spell "apathy""

12:55 am

Stoner

Bedtime...48/551

12:55 am

Angelsong

I don't even see the 8

12:55 am

NatLT

wow that was supposed to say chic

12:56 am

NatLT

12:56 am

cybernan

12:56 am

grigs

angel, start down, then slide up and right. that's all i can give you, going to beeeedddd.... or i'm gonna be living alone!

12:56 am

NatLT

you will angel, if you need help later let me know

12:56 am

Douglas

Isn't isn't a word?

12:57 am

chic

Nat, partaking of your own mixings?

12:57 am

justafreep

douglas -- it's a contraction. they don't work.

12:57 am

cybernan

no contractions

12:57 am

NatLT

oh yeah!!! Gotta have a little for myself :)

12:58 am

Douglas

And what about sicopath?

12:58 am

NatLT

it's psychopath

12:58 am

grigs

hey, pabst should be a word. i had a roommate, all he could SAY was pabst :)

12:59 am

Angelsong

ok, found a b7. it won't accept the plural for the 8.

12:59 am

NatLT

lol, was that in chicago, they have a lot of pabst there

12:59 am

Douglas

And that stinks...it's a perfectly good word...

12:59 am

grigs

angel, same root, no pun intended, but it's a person who ...

1:00 am

cybernan

Angel -- 8 is a person

1:00 am

NatLT

doug it is, but only if spelled right

1:00 am

Douglas

The plural for the b7, that is, not Pabst

Klaatu baradis nocto!

1:00 am

cybernan

Good night! :)

1:00 am

grigs

nat, no, it was in the pacific NW, where we are given to understand that beer was invented... go microbreweries!

1:00 am

Angelsong

got the 8. slippery word, that one.

1:01 am

cybernan

You're obviously not a gardener!

1:02 am

Douglas

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity

1:03 am

Douglas

There's gotta be a cotangent in there somewhere!

1:03 am

NatLT

ah, I see griggs (pabst is a midwestern company though ;) ), although I do love the micobreweries, not as many as I would like around here being that Anheuiser is only an hour away

1:03 am

Douglas

Oops...

1:05 am

Douglas

You give me the sweetest taboo...

1:07 am

Douglas

Anybody like n'sinc?

1:08 am

NatLT

hey doug, where are you from?

Douglas

Aren't light particles called phatons?

1:15 am

Ornith

Douglas: photons.

1:15 am

NatLT

photons

1:16 am

Ornith

You might be mixing 'em up with Phaeton, from Greek mythology.

1:17 am

Douglas

phatons are particles of hipness

1:17 am

mrpresident

LOL doug

1:18 am

NatLT

doug I know how you feel, I want so badly for things to be words cause I know how to use them, you're funny!

Douglas

The oc 7/32 isn't ocarina

1:27 am

NatLT

ok can't think anymore, and have a long day tomorrow, hope to see you all soon, night!

1:28 am

Douglas

I wanted ocelot to be a word, either yesterday, or the day before that...it's getting a little blurry, but ocelots isn't the oc 7/32 either

1:28 am

sandyloo

Douglas

1:37 am

sandyloo

doug u missed a great place i love it here and particulary today because its cool

1:38 am

sandyloo

why the question about the paper?

1:38 am

Hugabugs

douglas, what part of MN? We're neighbours

1:38 am

Douglas

The reason I ask is because I'm currently only doing crosswords from the New York Times at Crossword Bebop, and I thought it would be cool to do crosswords from around the Anglosphere

1:39 am

Douglas

I'm in St. Paul, hugabugs

1:40 am

sandyloo

ah i think the crossword of choice is the one in the london times

1:40 am

Douglas

and I want rapt to be a word

1:40 am

Douglas

I've noticed that they have a regular version and a cryptic version, which is significantly harder.

1:41 am

Rlee

good afternoon all

1:42 am

Douglas

The Hindu Crossword is a cryptic

1:43 am

Douglas

and obtain isn't a word, so obtains is right out...

1:44 am

sandyloo

i have recently learnt to do cryptics and now i dont do anything else they are really great if you take the time to learn them

1:45 am

Douglas

My late mother was very fond of cryptic double-crostics, now called acrostics. I felt this enormous feeling of accomplishment when I did one without her assistance

1:46 am

Douglas

You can tell I'm reaching when I want Gynt as in Peer Gynt to be a word...

1:46 am

sandyloo

doug have you tried the iron sudoku that was something i found hard to learn but i can do them now

1:47 am

sandyloo

hugs are you still here

1:47 am

Douglas

I haven't tried it yet, I'm still too busy getting my tushy whupped by Babble. Does IS use pictures?

1:48 am

tbear

Sandyloo I recently started doing crytics too but found my new found skill didn't work for different puzzles....needed to adjust tuning for different styles...if you get my drift

1:48 am

sandyloo

no numbers but it came from this site and its very good too i play tangleword at iwin.com and thats good

1:49 am

Hugabugs

sandyloo - yep, still here. Just cleaning up a few more words

1:49 am

sandyloo

bear thats the ongoing challenge to a cryptic
all i can say is non of us will get alzheimers thats for sure
LOL

1:49 am

Douglas

I just signed up for IS

1:50 am

sandyloo

Shatterproof

Morning. Isn't it cold and shiny in the world this am?

2:35 am

ExWren

Morning shatterproof, it depends what part of the world you live in. Looks OK here.

133 words doesn't seem too bad this morning

2:41 am

Shatterproof

133. Is that the total for this puzzle? Oh well, only another 108 to go...

2:54 am

sprite

Morning dear gang :)
Shatterproof, you are close then ;)

2:54 am

sandyloo

hello sprite

3:04 am

Atalante

*bounces in from sudoku*

3:04 am

sprite

Just like me :D
Did you finish?

3:04 am

sandyloo

lol at and hi

3:05 am

Atalante

yup!

3:08 am

sprite

Wtg! It's nice, isn't it. I like the double challenge every morning ;)

3:09 am

Atalante

yes its lovely! I've decided I like doing sudoku first and then coming over here and doing babble on and off through the day

3:12 am

Atalante

and I rather like this grid. It's interesting.

3:16 am

ExWren

We have s's, but no e's

3:20 am

sprite

I agree, it is not an easy grid today. Not halfway on my first run through.
And I also start with sudoku, because it takes concentration to finish. The babble can be done more leisurely, doing other things in between or at the same time ;)

3:25 am

Atalante

I'm just about half way, but nothing more than a 6 yet

3:25 am

sprite

Same here.

3:26 am

lshult

same here, 65 words to go , only found 6 +'s & nothing bigger!!

3:27 am

sprite

And there must be 8 7s... hard to believe! Until we start seeing them of course.

3:28 am

sandyloo

ive got only 2 so far sprite

3:29 am

trishtrash

morning everyone :)
there's a nice at7/32 (it's a plural, and uses to6/21)

3:29 am

cellardoor

the 8 letter is a profession

3:31 am

sandyloo

ta trish

3:31 am

lshult

thanks trishtrash, hadn't spotted those!!

3:32 am

trishtrash

yw :) thanks for the 8, cellardoor!

3:32 am

sprite

I have To6/21, but it won't accept an A in front.

3:33 am

sprite

But the plural To is my first 7 :)

3:33 am

trishtrash

then I guess we both have another to6/21 to find, Sprite, heh :)

3:33 am

sprite

Must be, unless Babble is partial ;)

3:34 am

sprite

Found them! Mine are words you'd expect finding with X.

3:36 am

trishtrash

Thanks, Sprite, wouldn't have tried that without the X tip :)

3:36 am

sprite

Nice teamwork :)

3:37 am

trishtrash

for sure :)

3:38 am

sandyloo

got 6 seven letters now

3:38 am

lshult

cellardoor - finally found that profession, thanks for the clue

3:39 am

sprite

Only 2 so far, and the 8 still obscure to me. But I'll find them yet.

3:39 am

lshult

still only one 7 tho (at7)

3:41 am

sprite

Hey, found the 8! I thought that was more of a hobby, never knew people were doing that for a living :)

3:43 am

trishtrash

Nice summer profession, anyway ;)
(there's another 7 if you change the ending, too).

3:44 am

sprite

Ah, so there is, thanks :)

3:46 am

Atalante

this is a really random comment - does anyone here like mythology? and norse mythology? I've just found the most AMAZING picture and I want someone to share it with!

3:46 am

sprite

Share away, I am interested :)

3:46 am

sandyloo

me too

3:46 am

trishtrash

Atalante... I've only an amateurs interest in mythology, but I love amazing pictures of all kinds :) Share!

3:47 am

Atalante

I just think this is an amazing pic - based on Odin being hung from a tree for a while - http://www.deviantart.com/view /2090102/ (take out spaces)

3:49 am

sprite

Saved on drive! Fascinating picture, Atalante!

3:50 am

trishtrash

That's a fantastic tree, and the whole pic has twisty atmosphere which I like.

And, ooh, nekkid Odin! ;) Thanks for the link!

Atalante

3:50 am

sandyloo

*gets a sympathetic back twinge*

3:52 am

sprite

A large edition in the livingroom, and then sitting there for hours just finding new details. Truly fascinating.

3:52 am

sandyloo

saved the site - how the heck do you find sites like that

3:54 am

Atalante

its my favourite site :) its where I put up my art, and you get to know hundreds of other galleries when you've been there a while. actually, I'm just redecorating my study, and I really think I'm going to buy a print of that pic. Its not often I'm so immediately struck by something, but just - wow

3:56 am

sprite

Hey, another Bo7! The fish is back :)
(black grouper pl)

3:56 am

iiosefi

i'm not an english spoker. someone can rite a long word today ? ty.
i find only 50 till now. bad v bad.

3:56 am

sandyloo

atlan can we see some of your art there (are you an artist)

3:58 am

sprite

50 is not bad at all, iiosefi. Just keep going and use the hints in the chatlog. Good luck hunting!

3:59 am

Atalante

I'm an almost artist lol - my main gallery there is http://elegaer.deviantart.com/ but ... my cat now has her "own" gallery there too! http://silver-claws.deviantart .com/ if you like kittens!

3:59 am

trishtrash

Thanks for the fish, Sprite :)
Okay, I'm out of here for a while, the sun is tempting me outside. Have a good day everyone, if I don't see you later :)

4:01 am

iiosefi

4:02 am

amandacath

Eeewww - this looks icky! Hi all!

4:03 am

sprite

Atalante, how am I ever gonna finish this grid now that I am browsing your site?
That lure of the dark side... sigh... Nice cats too... God I love fantasy art. You are a great artist.

4:04 am

Atalante

sorry! ok - I don't have a gallery there at all :) better??

4:04 am

sprite

Oc7/32 think 8 and navigation, pl. :)

4:05 am

sprite

Nope, will not work, Atalante, now that I've had a taste :)

4:05 am

sprite

Oh, and let's not forget the Pt word.

4:07 am

sprite

Couldn't see the Op7/44 for my Op7/44, I guess. Beautiful words again today :D

4:07 am

mab

Atalante, I like how that tree looks very rooted in place, while also looking like it could walk away with Odin. Gorgeous, delicious photo. love the curves and textures and so many aspects.

4:08 am

Atalante

ooooh I'm glad people like that tree pic. I get far too excited about new discoveries and want everyone else to love them too!

4:09 am

sprite

I do!
Also found another 7, Ob7/44. When a pinetree drops its fruits upside down.

4:10 am

sandyloo

ive got that one sprite hmmm clue....
op + small word then add c4/7

4:12 am

sprite

For the Ob add C5/14

4:13 am

mab

I love that site, Atlalante - continue sharing please.

4:13 am

sandyloo

atlan did you create that"dark side"piece yourself
its very good

4:15 am

sandyloo

i LOVE the site too at my daughter is a bit of an artist she will adore it

4:15 am

Atalante

yup! I was having one of my many drooling-over-Anakin moments and felt the need to draw him :)

4:15 am

sprite

I want that dark side piece. It talks to me.

A little checklist:
7s:
At, Bo x 2, Co, Ob, Oc, Op, To

4:16 am

Atalante

deviantArt is a wonderful wonderful terrible site. You can get caught up in stuff there all day - which is wonderfull good and wonderfull bad!

4:16 am

sandyloo

wow atlan it is fantastic you are soooo talented
do you sell original pieces over the net?

4:17 am

chopped

get a room... oh look, letters!

4:17 am

sandyloo

my son is cooking something i better go and see what
it sure smells good!!

4:18 am

sprite

That sounds great, a son doing the cooking :)
Atalante, I wondered the same thing: do you sell your work?

4:19 am

Atalante

do you? hmmm maybe I should do a decent scan of it and make it into a print. Then I could send you one and you can stare away :) and sandy, some of the pics in that gallery are available as prints - every time I have a day spare I try and make some more available - and I have been known to do a few pictures that people have begged me to do for them!

4:19 am

banton

afternoon all, how many words today?

4:20 am

sandyloo

banton 133
atlant im in awe you are fantastic
bb later

4:20 am

Atalante

I'm starting to sell more and more stuff, I'm hoping by next year (ish) to be at least making a half decent amount of money from it. At least enough for pencils, papers and books - and pet food. The essntials of life!

4:20 am

banton

thanks, Sandy

4:21 am

sprite

Atalante: I'd love a print of that. Please email me on the details, both financial and practical :)
bin _ there @ planet . nl
(no spaces ofcourse)

4:22 am

mab

It is a drawing? And yours? Atalante you are a versatile artist and the few pieces I've seen are not just finely rendered, but have great depth as well. Sorry, don't mean to be a flatterer, but it's true to me and I'm sure to anyone else who can look and feel. Ok. Done gushing for now.

4:24 am

Atalante

*blush* thank you mab. I'm just glad people seem to like them as much as I enjoy making them! I could live without most things, but not my sketchbook and pencil! And Sprite, I've written that down :) I was actually thinking about making some prints at the weekend - my husband's going away so I'll get peace and quiet to concentrate for a few days!

4:24 am

kartra

hey all! does todays babble have a theme?

4:26 am

mab

Atalante, please to put me on your mailig list too? tikvaeve@msn.com.

4:27 am

Atalante

good question, kartra! I've been happily monopolising the chat with art talk ...

4:27 am

Shatterproof

Is there are "something-opath" word?

4:27 am

mab

I don't know what it is kartra.

4:27 am

sprite

We should have an Atalante Art theme one day :)
Thanks Atalante, I'll be looking forward to your mail whenever you find the time n peace n quiet :)

4:28 am

sprite

Done!
Shatterproof: no, there isn't, alas. Would have been very nice indeed :)

4:29 am

Atalante

lol! only on a day I'm not here please!!!! I'm only just getting used to the idea of shoving my gallery in people's faces and making them pay for things!!

4:30 am

mab

Oh pish Ata.

Well done our Sprite!

4:33 am

Atalante

done? DONE? I think I've only glanced at the grid for about 2 minutes in the last hour LOL ooops

4:33 am

sprite

I am sure it would be a bit embarrassing, but what a great way to get used to the attention you so truly deserve :)
There is a subtlety (sp.??) in your work that just draws me in and in and in...

4:36 am

Atalante

I think its called growing old. My mother always told me she hoped I'd get more subtle (and tactful!) when I grew up :P

4:37 am

sprite

Oh, I also love that deco art moonlit cat!

4:38 am

chopped

stuck @ 35 :// hint me folks :)

4:39 am

sprite

She must be very happy when she looks at your art then :)

4:39 am

sprite

chopped: lots of hints and clues in the log, just scroll down!

4:39 am

mrpresident

chopped... you need the stats page!!

4:39 am

Atalante

she keeps bringing pieces of "art" I made in infants school out and waving them around in front of all my relatives LOL

4:46 am

amandacath

all right, guess I'll have to ask. Got all the 7's but one bo - I have the plant one (and an 8 from it as well), is the other one also planty, or does it have to do with a sailing vessel, or none of the above (probably)?

4:46 am

sprite

amandacath, it is a fish plural. Black grouper is another name for them.

4:47 am

amandacath

fish, huh? Well, let's see what my brain can dig up

4:50 am

mab

Wouldn't it be fascinating to see the juvenalia of, say, Rahphael or Picasso, or all artists.

4:51 am

Atalante

one I know, cos I'm reading a huge biography about him, Dante Gabriel Rossetti was disgustingly talented at about 10. its totally sickening!

4:52 am

amandacath

Got it! had to google black grouper, but now I know!

4:53 am

mab

Pre-Raphaelite juvenalia -- I must look that up.

4:53 am

amandacath

I've hit the halfway mark - hurrah! How many 8's - or bigger *cringe*?

4:53 am

Atalante

I'd love to see what Leonardo da Vinci could do if he was alive today. He was such a revolutionary thinker and designer, I just have this feeling we'd be up in space or something if he was around now

4:53 am

sprite

amandacath, that's how it works! Next time you will know the crazy word and put it in right away :)

4:54 am

sprite

1x8, 8x7
I agree, Atalante, there were just no limits for his thinking n intuiting.

4:54 am

sprite

I am off, thanks for the great company again and happy hunting to all of you. :)

4:55 am

amandacath

Oh hurrah! That means I've got all the big ones - or not hurrah, that means alot of yucky little ones...hmmm

4:56 am

Atalante

a few years ago I worked in Milan for a few months, and between there and Lake Como, there is a river which can be crossedby ferry. The ferry they use is the exact same design that Leonardo created when he was asked to design that ferry when he was alive. They actually used *his* ferry - the actual one - until a few years when it started to fall apart a bit

4:57 am

mab

It's always a pleasure to be on with you Sprite. Have a great day.

4:58 am

mrpresident

Finished!

4:59 am

Eva

Good morning all! mrp, before you disappear, could you nudge me in the right direction for the oc7? I've been working with the 8 + navigation clue for ages and can't see it.

Atalante-how do I get to your site?

4:59 am

mab

yay mrpresident!!!

5:01 am

Atalante

hi eva! my site is at http://elegaer.deviantart.com/ and here's another wonderful thing - just so cute and dragony and catty - http://www.deviantart.com/view /29385228/

5:01 am

amandacath

Hi Eva, I'm still here and will be for a while, it looks like. That one drove me crazy too. Think of an apparatus used to navigate and instead of a 6 at the beginning...

5:01 am

mrpresident

Eva -= if you have the 'one eighth' word, just plural it for the 7

5:02 am

Eva

mrp you always come through for me!! Thanks!

5:02 am

mrpresident

eva - 6 is sextant =therefore 8 is oc**** then plural

5:03 am

mrpresident

YW!!

5:03 am

Eva

thanks to you too amanda! I was looking in all the wrong places as they say...

5:04 am

Shatterproof

Got half the big words. Go me.

5:05 am

amandacath

YW! I know what it's like

5:06 am

amandacath

Does the V or the G get used at all?

5:06 am

mrpresident

I haven't put the ab4 in my stats list this time around... sorry !!!

5:06 am

Atalante

the G starts 1 word

5:07 am

Shatterproof

...and its a plural

5:07 am

Eva

atalante-I went to the site but am confused. Is all the work there, the posters, etc yours?

5:08 am

Atalante

I wish :) no - I tend to write big long articles on there about different things and gather some interesting pics together for people to look at. actually, this link is better: http://elegaer.deviantart.com/ gallery/ - that's all mine!

5:09 am

amandacath

oh - of course. Thx, shatter

5:09 am

Atalante

it is a bit of a confusing site unless you're used to it!

5:09 am

jmds

Morning everyone

5:12 am

Atalante

hi jmds!

5:13 am

jmds

Back for another day of Babbling...

5:16 am

mrpresident

Nite

5:18 am

Eva

atalante-WOW! I can't believe the range and depth of your work! So many questions: Why "deviant"? So many of your pictures look like illustrations. Are they? Do you also write the stories? Who do you do your work for?

5:19 am

Eva

nite mrp. Sleep well.

5:21 am

Atalante

why deviant - no idea. its the most STUPID site name ever, I think! but its one of the biggest art sites on the net, so everyone puts up with it! A lot of the pictures are illustrations for Tolkien's books, especially the older ones, a good number of the newer ones are illustrations for a role play I run with 2 friends. Well, its slightly more than just a role play now, its a story we've been writing together for about 2 years now. And the rest? Just stuff that's come into my head, or from books I read, or from Star Wars - mainly!

5:23 am

Ricey

another small one methinks??

How many words today?

5:23 am

Eva

Amazing. Is this your livelihood, i.e. how you support yourself? I hope so.

5:24 am

Atalante

It's not at the moment. Hopefully it will be over the next few years :)

5:27 am

im back

ob7 anyone?

5:32 am

david.m1fcf

whaey - UK Babblers - Its Budget time - I hope we have all filled our tanks with fuel this morning....

5:32 am

sandyloo

ob7:
having the apex downwards like a pine cone that drops

5:33 am

sandyloo

it may be interesting to know what u all pay in petrol
its about 1.29 per litre here

5:33 am

amandacath

Boys, that's a strange one - like an upside-down ice-cream holder

5:34 am

El Payo

I walk everywhere. I only need a fill-up 1 a month, sometimes 1 time every 2 months.

5:35 am

david.m1fcf

UK Prices are between 0.89GBP and 0.95GBP.

Costs me £80 every ten days to fill my gas guzzler 4x4 up with diesel

5:35 am

Boysaway

Thanks Amanda and Sandy

5:35 am

Rlee

is that for a litre ?

5:36 am

sandyloo

how many litres to a gallon?

5:36 am

amandacath

ElPayo - wow! an American who walks! Thought they were a dying breed. Been thinking about moving back to the States, but one of the things that prevents me is having to get a car. Where do you live that it's possible to get around without one?

5:37 am

sandyloo

i think petrol is really cheap in america compared to australia

5:37 am

Rlee

is funny on the way home from work this afternoon, shell was 1.29 and across the road quix was 1.14

5:37 am

david.m1fcf

Yes that is the per litre price. 1.55 USD per litre and 2.17 AUD for the lower price!!!

5:37 am

sandyloo

where r u rlee

5:38 am

Rlee

melbourne

5:38 am

El Payo

in San Francisco, it's $USD 2.50

5:38 am

david.m1fcf

1 litre = 0.264172051 US gallon

5:38 am

sandyloo

david dont americans pay by the gallon?

5:39 am

david.m1fcf

think so - so that makes it dirt cheap in the states, compared to UK prices. Was in Iceland in 2000, and the fuel there cost 0.35GBP/litre, but a loaf of bread was 3GBP!!

5:39 am

El Payo

Us Blue Staters/West Coast Liberal Elites have to subsidize the cheap gas in the Red States. It's the 'Bush Tax' for not voting Republican.

5:40 am

sundae1888

It's around CAD$1/L here

5:41 am

sandyloo

what is a blue state and a red state?

5:41 am

guigrrl

Its more than 2.50 a gallon here in NC (Red State)

5:42 am

El Payo

"blue state" = inclined to vote for the democratic party
"red state" = Inclined to vote for the republican party

it's based on the election maps the tv stations use to show 'who won' which state... even if it's a 49/51 split

5:42 am

sundae1888

I wonder why Ford/GM/Chrysler are busily advertising pickup trucks and monster SUVs...
</conspiracy theory>

5:44 am

sandyloo

at 1.29 australian i think it works out to about 3.80 a gallon us so you can all feel sorry for us here down under

5:44 am

El Payo

Because they're so slow to react to rising energy costs- they found a cash cow in SUVs in the 90s and had no 'Smart Car' for the current situation. They have to sell what they build.

5:45 am

guigrrl

I'd ride public transport to live in AUS

5:45 am

sandyloo

thanks for that info payo its interesting

5:45 am

sandyloo

have to admit its pretty fabulous living here
(im in perth but its fablulous everywhere in aus!!

5:46 am

Rlee

yeah it is

5:46 am

sandyloo

we are lucky rlee

5:47 am

El Payo

just my take on things. Interesting to hear NC is higher than we are... I wonder if Katrina is a factor there more than here?

5:47 am

jo_jo

can anyone find a word with more then six letters? if so can u give me a hint plz x

5:49 am

david.m1fcf

two x 7 letters - both starting with 'o' - one is an inverse cone and the other is a 45degree arc

5:49 am

amandacath

Jojo - there are 7 7-letter words and 1 8-letter

5:49 am

sandyloo

at 7/32 the plural of something that makes you feel better

5:50 am

sundae1888

Despite all the North Americans' complaints, we do generally have the lowest gas prices comparing to most parts of the world. (Maybe it's lower in Middle East?)

5:51 am

sandyloo

your linen and bedsheets ect is cheaper than ours too

5:52 am

sandyloo

my favourite thing about the States was looking through the catalogues

5:52 am

jo_jo

wow, i must b stupid today. most i have been able to find so far is 6 letter words. :(

5:52 am

sundae1888

Nah, textile is dirt cheap in Asia. :P

5:53 am

sandyloo

jo jo i cant find the 4 letter words especially the last to 4/4!! lol

5:54 am

jo_jo

im doing fine on the short ones, ive got 26 4's so far

5:54 am

sandyloo

believe me sundae your sheets are cheaper that ours
keeping the quality in mind

5:55 am

amandacath

Sandy - you're sure it's the last to4 you're looking for? That one's "little kids"

5:55 am

sandyloo

ok i guess i shouldnt complain ive got 47

5:55 am

jmds

Up to 55 and am stuck... Might have to start using the word list...

5:56 am

sandyloo

'manda you are the best!!!!
couldnt see it for looking and ive been looking and looking
thanks

5:56 am

sundae1888

By Asia, I was thinking China. :)

I can totally understand why manufactured goods are more expensive in Australia though. Shipping is too costly.

5:56 am

sandyloo

hang on!!! i have got that its the second last one
LOL

5:57 am

amandacath

yw, sandy. I know how it is - forest & trees kind of thing

5:58 am

sandyloo

i dont know what makes things more expensive but generally your products are cheaper when i was in the states i bought stuff out of the catalogues and had them sent home and that was great!!

5:59 am

jo_jo

just out of interest is there a wor which uses the v?

5:59 am

El Payo

No 'v' words

6:01 am

guigrrl

yeah, Sandy -- when I was there I spent lavishly because our dollar was stronger.

6:01 am

amandacath

Sandy, thought that might be the case - the one you're looking for might be an old way of saying a to**** salad

6:04 am

sandyloo

amanda i have it at last thanks

6:04 am

amandacath

Or maybe: "Thou villain! Thou hast to** me out on my buttocks!

6:05 am

FMitch

Hi all, has anyone found the ab4? if so please can I have a clue.

6:06 am

blueeagle44

can anyone say the first letter of the 8 letter word lol???

6:07 am

amandacath

Hi Mitch! The dic says the ab is a disparaging term for the people who lived in Australia before the Europeans got there

6:07 am

sandyloo

8 letter word is bo 8/50

6:07 am

jo_jo

mitch - abo(plural) i think

6:08 am

amandacath

Blue Eagle - it's a bo8/50, and there's a 7/40 that goes along with it

6:08 am

FMitch

Thanks amanda, no wonder I coudn't see it or find it on a2z.

6:08 am

amandacath

JoJo - please don't post more than the first two letter of words in the grid

6:08 am

sandyloo

i might add i dont have it but i believe its a profession

6:09 am

amandacath

You're right Sandy, it is a profession

6:10 am

6:28 am

FMitch

there are 2 bo7/40 one is a type of fish (pl) and 6 for sing. and the other is to do with plants. Dont have the 1st one so can't give a decent clue.

LOL Marc no probs.

6:28 am

7:05 am

faeriekae

Jen - it's not my problem any longer. I still Love him with all my heart and I cry every single Sunday when I see him and it has been 4 years since the divorce but I am so much better off. I just hate to see such a wonderful man ruin his life.

7:06 am

musicmom

(((Faerie))))) Just wanted to pop in and tell you to have a good time in case you left before I get back to play. Have to go to the bank, the postoffice and run a GS errand before I can do any serious babbling. We got our first significant snow fall yesterday so I have to go clean off the van.

7:06 am

faeriekae

(((Angel))) glad your feeling better Hon.

7:06 am

musicmom

EWWWWWW Angelsong. That is terrible. Greg forgot to work on my page - I WILL get him to do it tonight. I need it:-)))

7:07 am

faeriekae

Capone - Wanna drink its um craberry juice.

7:07 am

Jen

You are a great lady faerie! :)

7:07 am

Angelsong

me, too, faerie. the really scary thing was despite how rotten I felt, I still finished the grid yesterday....

7:08 am

musicmom

heheheh WTG Angelsong! that is babble dedication.

7:08 am

faeriekae

(((MusicMom)))-Goodmorning - enjoy the snow lol. and be careful you know how people drive....

7:08 am

capone

No, I want TSM.....

8*(

7:09 am

musicmom

Yes I will be careful. The roads don't look too bad. I just didn't go anywhere yesterday so the van is buried. Okay. I'm putting on my coat and going. See you all in a few hours.

7:09 am

faeriekae

Too bad Capone she is high in the sky on her way to see Jen.

7:09 am

musicmom

She is beautiful and intelligent Capone! A great combination!

7:10 am

faeriekae

Angel - that just proves Babble is good for everything.

7:11 am

Jen

Gotcha... but what does that have to do with me?

7:11 am

faeriekae

Jen - Toes is on her way to Florida Today...

7:11 am

El Payo

Got it down to 34 left. Time to sleep.

7:12 am

Jen

Bye El PAyo!

I don't live in FL... I'm actually up in DC. (but I grew up there... in northern FL)

7:12 am

Angelsong

faerie, what it proves is just how severe the addiction is. I dream about Babble grids. woke myself up the other night muttering: "I need a BA5/12."

7:12 am

faeriekae

Jen - OMG - your just the Seminoles fan - sorry - forgot your in Virginia - North Virginia?

7:13 am

faeriekae

Angel - ROFL - thats a nightmare....

7:13 am

faeriekae

El Payo - Later - Good Going.

7:13 am

Jen

S'okay faerie! I went to FSU for bachelors and Masters and my Dad teaches there, I grew up there, etc. ANd seeing as how I'm so rabid about the NOles it's understandable.

7:14 am

capone

me too jen, i grew up in Jville

7:14 am

Angelsong

between the grids and my page, it's inevitable. By the way, I added a link to the Links section yesterday for Google image search, for icon finding.

7:15 am

Atalante

angelsong - could your page have a links section for babblers home pages? if enough people have them??

7:15 am

faeriekae

I lived in Orlando for just over 3 yrs. Does that count for anything? *teehee* Wasn't real crazy about Florida but it wasn't bad. I just didn't like the great big bugs and the love bugs.....twice a year....love bugs yuck.

7:16 am

faeriekae

Thanks Angel - I'll check it out.

7:16 am

faeriekae

Capone - Jacksonville is a nice area - Nice boardwalk there.

7:17 am

KatieMcG

blue girl
Another name for the black grouper - I had to google it from an earlier clue.

7:17 am

Jen

Growing up, I couldn't wait to leave! I love going back to visit, but we really feel like VA is our home now.
(and central/south FL is veeeery different from north FL)

7:17 am

Angelsong

what do you mean, atalante, by Babble home pages? it's certainly no problem to add a section to the page...as long as I understand what it is I'm linking to.

7:18 am

capone

Jacksonville Sucks!

AC boardwalk is better!

7:18 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!!

anyone up for some shrimp cocktail?
;)

7:18 am

Atalante

I just thought when Capone put his pic up - some babblers must have their own web sites? I would have thought? Maybe? I'm just nosey LOL

7:19 am

Jen

Mornin evaN

7:19 am

movieman

Hiya, evan......

A shrimp cocktail would be absolutely great right about now.....

7:20 am

faeriekae

Jen - Va is one of the most beautiful states I've been in. Just passed through and visited friends but it is really awesome. Do you know where Boone County is?
And have you ever heard of the Dancin' Outlaw?

7:20 am

Angelsong

atalante, of course I could do that, if Babblers want it..

7:20 am

faeriekae

(((Movieman))) good morning don't think I spoke to you yet. Sorry!

7:21 am

Atalante

yeah .. I just wondered - I'm not sure how many people would have their own sites etc

7:21 am

Jen

I'm afraid no on both, faerie. My knowledge of VA is pretty much limited to NoVA and the VA Beach area... and seeing as how I no longer teach, I don't have to learn it. :)

7:21 am

movieman

Hiya, faerie......

How seems the world to you today.....?

7:21 am

FMitch

Atalante - you could have a link to your wonderful artwork perhaps :)

7:22 am

EvaNadine

i have a few online journals and a myspace.
:)

7:22 am

FMitch

apologies, Hi Everyone.

7:23 am

faeriekae

I can't believe you've never heard of the Dancin' Outlaw. I have one of his Videos. He is a mountain dancer/tap dancer. It is truly about his life Jessico White/aka/Elvis/aka/Jessie talk about inbreding....

7:23 am

Atalante

and there's a few other arty people, aren't there? Vicuna I think? And - um - someone else (I should remember but I don't)

7:23 am

movieman

Greetings, FMitch.....

7:24 am

faeriekae

Hi FMitch. good morning Hon.

7:24 am

Angelsong

ok, my suggestion is this: if you have a homepage you want me to link to on the resource page, can we make a list on BA or something, so I don't get swamped with e mails? I can pick the links up from there and add them to the resource page. Now I think of it, it's a terrific idea....

7:24 am

sandyloo

atlan i think that is a great idea or alternatively what about a babblers picture gallery we have one at tangleword and everyone emails their photos and the person (like angel) puts the photos up

7:24 am

faeriekae

and Evan - goodmorning.

7:25 am

EvaNadine

mornin faerie

shorty

Applebees makes the best Ive ever tasted

9:21 am

Angelsong

if the instructions are not clear, please let me know, MM.
It's one of those things where it's easy if you know how to do it, but it can be confusing if you don't know how. I tried to pretend I didn't have a clue when I wrote the instructions.

9:21 am

musicmom

UGH My deepest apologies - I used a word a few posts ago. I'm very sorry:-((

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

10:07 am

musicmom

The music store is in Athens Ohio

10:08 am

TP17

Athens.... home of the U of O?

10:08 am

Angela

Blue - that's called "monkey typing" here if you ever see that term. You're not the only one who does it, for sure!

10:08 am

blueeagle44

10:08 am

Angelsong

so, tomorrow, Karys, just refer to the resource page again. Pretty soon, changing your icon will be no big deal. I even put a link to Google Image search in the links section to make searches easier.

10:08 am

musicmom

YES! Are you familiar with Ohio University?

10:09 am

Karys

that was how I found this one Angel

10:09 am

TP17

visited there once. Pretty crazy place. Had a "Black Widow" at one of the bars, and partied at, I think it was called the CI?

10:09 am

spellacked

Why isn't obonics a word? n - the language of people trying to speak through a woodwind reed. ;)

10:10 am

kissmyglass04

lol obonics.. like ebonics for music nerds

10:10 am

musicmom

AHHHHHH yes it is the CI. Haven't been there in years but played lots of pool there in my undergrad years. Haven't heard of a Black Widow in years either.

10:10 am

Angelsong

:) that little page is sure a gem. People seem to like it. I orignally put it on the internet so Babblers could check it out to see if they wanted one of their own. Now, it's a fixture.

10:11 am

musicmom

You probably had a Black Widow at the Cat's Eye or the Nickolodeon.

10:11 am

TP17

Yep, visited a friend there 2 years or so ago.... great place. Reminds me of a small Penn State.

musicmom

We love it here. I did my degree from 1987- 1991. My husband did his bachelors and masters. Now he works for the U and I teach Kindermusik classes here. Our kids will probably go to OU.

10:13 am

Karys, your own page would have most of the same content as the online one.

Awesome! This is my first day here at Babble.... Heard about it from ironSudoku. Glad to be here.... 36 words so far :)

10:14 am

musicmom

Welcome! We love to give clues so ask for help if you need it. Just don't put words from the grid into the log. We like to keep them secret:-))

10:14 am

sandyloo

some others here are really addicted

sandyloo

10:14 am

Excellent. Where do you take KM? I love working with the babies.

10:15 am

musicmom

hahhahaa sandyloo. Just who would you be talking about. I can quit any time - really I can.

10:16 am

turbodog

Its addicting nature could see it renamed "Babblesmack"

10:16 am

Angelsong

Karys, if I make a Babble resource page for you, it will be stored in a folder on your own hard drive. not online. But the links would still work. You would just open page in your browser.

10:16 am

10:18 am

MM, I gave up all pretense at being able to walk away from Babble yesterday. I was sick as a dog with Salmonella, and still did the grid.

10:19 am

Karys

Luke with lots of help !!!

10:19 am

musicmom

LukeM - I think we all have our own methods. i go through and find as many words as I can. Then I go back through the log looking for clues, then I ask for help. I also work on it in small bits on and off through the day.

10:19 am

Angelsong

Karys, Yes, of course! send me your e mail address and what color you'd like, and also tell me which browser you use. my e mail address is in my profile and it's also on the resource page under Contact me.

10:20 am

sandyloo

i have 13 words to go
can anyone help with the second pesky bo4/6

10:20 am

Haz1558

Luke - my method is to go through the grid, finding as many words as I can myself. I also keep an eye out for clues on the chat log. Then I get the second letter list, go through that to see if I can find any more on my own. After that, I use morewords.com to fill out the blanks.

10:21 am

snowyowl

Hi all - Just popping in to see that all is well -I have some unexpected extra time as I have cancelled a meeting . Babble bliss!

10:21 am

sandyloo

haz is that beautiful creature you?

10:21 am

Haz1558

The pesky bo4/6 is an anagram of the first one.

10:21 am

Atalante

and then you get stubborn people who find as many words as possible then swear and kick at the grid until it releases the rest of the words for them

10:22 am

Haz1558

I don't know about the beautiful creature, but yes, that's me!

Pwin, the Resource page is available to all, Pro or not. Look in the Friends of Babble list for Angelsong's Babble page.

11:03 am

smaller

"vays" should count.
as in "vee have vays to make you talk"

11:04 am

Angelsong

LOL, smaller!

11:05 am

pwinn

Thanks, Angelsong. I'm gonna wait a week to see if I'm still playing before registering.

I suspect I will be, though. Your page helps makes the wait not so painful.

11:07 am

Angelsong

Lupe, please look at the Resource page. see if you think Jera will be pleased.

11:07 am

smaller

yes! i agree with pwinn! thank you angelsong!!!

pwinn, i did the wait thing too! I hope you stay. It's quite addictive!

11:08 am

Angelsong

pwinn, that's why I put the page together. I'm a fairly new Babbler myself, and it helps to have everything collected for easy access. I went Pro in just ten minutes when I played the game for the first time.

11:13 am

Angelsong

smaller, did you want your own personal resource page? I can't remember if you said you did.

11:14 am

i am finding the a2z wordfinder from angelsong's page so useful. although i feel like i'm cheating when i use it /;[

12:25 pm

hurshy

Farruska

jasonplancaster

farr: it floats :)

12:26 pm

Lupe613

the only one I have is row, row, row your bo4/6.

12:26 pm

cybernan

The older you get, the later in life the term "old" applies. Right now old, for me, is 80.

12:26 pm

turbodog

I've found that if you define OLD as ----

OLD = (Current year - Year of birth) + 2

You will never get old!!!

12:26 pm

Farruska

habe that one already james :9 and the other that means two things ;)

12:26 pm

hurshy

12:27 pm

12:28 pm

Farruska

ah ca$ have that one too. need another one

12:28 pm

ca$hmyre

LOL

12:28 pm

caitlyn

12:31 pm

mab

I'm a little more middle aged, hurshy. Before ph4 became a pretty hot and tasty word, I thought it meant pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectic tumor -- I'm such a dolt.

12:32 pm

jasonplancaster

huh. that's a shame

12:32 pm

Lupe613

hey jmds - hows the baby..

12:32 pm

12:36 pm

Lupe613

farr - add an S

12:36 pm

hurshy

make it plural farruska

12:37 pm

Farruska

hurshy it has accepted. but.... how do you build it on the grid ? :/ it's not according to the rules or is it ?

12:38 pm

justafreep

the upper T, farr.

12:38 pm

Atalante

back to subdue the rest of the grid. maybe.

12:38 pm

cybernan

Thanks, Cait :)

12:38 pm

Lupe613

Hi Atalante...

12:38 pm

Vicuna

(Sorry, Jarruska. Children were implored not to mess with the toilet that's plugged. Children messed with the toilet that's plugged. Ugh.)
there's a bo4/4 that means the parasitic larvae of a kind of fly, but sounds like it's short for electronic metal people (think of "femmebo---" in Austin Powers?)

12:39 pm

jasonplancaster

hmm. i still don't get that nervous clue...

12:39 pm

hurshy

ata - status? i went to list w/ 18 to go :(

12:39 pm

caitlyn

YW cyber

12:39 pm

Vicuna

(oops, *Farruska*. Sigh, not getting anything right today!)

12:40 pm

Farruska

justafreep i'm missing something on the rules then .... don't get it how the plural of bo** is accepted. has a letter on the grid in between the upper t

12:40 pm

cybernan

5 words left -- all oc's and an on -- totally stymied!

12:40 pm

Vicuna

There's an s directly above the upper t.

12:40 pm

Atalante

15 to go Hurshy - and just about to get the list I think

12:42 pm

Farruska

vicuna maybe i'm not explaining. so you have BO than you have the upper T, but i though one could only use direct horizontal and vertical and diagonal, not skipping letters. now i'm really confused

12:43 pm

caitlyn

jason have you got the clue now?

12:43 pm

Lupe613

as long as you don't skip over a letter you are ok...in this case, all the letters are concurrent as you go around the other letter to get to the last two letters in the word - like boggle.

12:43 pm

mab

oh hurshy i was just joking - i looked that up.

12:43 pm

dl88

cybernan - all the oc work off the same next 3 letters, think about the popular st. paddy's dring, black & ***

than use differnt endings & plurals

12:43 pm

Vicuna

There's an o to the NE of the b...

12:43 pm

hurshy

farruska - you have the rules right - just go UP UP UP

12:43 pm

Atalante

Farruska - you have the BO then the upper T then the S immeditaely above the upper T

12:43 pm

jmds

The oc 5/12 is the first three letter of the prefix that denotes eight followed by the first half of Hathaway's first name. The 6/21 is a plural of that.

12:44 pm

hurshy

lol, then, mab :)

12:44 pm

cybernan

Thank you, jms

12:45 pm

hurshy

op7? am i going to regret asking for this?

12:45 pm

Atalante

its not very clear, Hurshy :P

12:45 pm

Farruska

Atalante i got that, but what about the C in the middle? how does it not go againts the rule?

12:45 pm

cybernan

Just looking for the on 5/12, now--please?

12:46 pm

Atalante

nan - take an5/12 and kick the a out for the o

12:46 pm

hurshy

ata - all i can think is opaque - related somehow?

12:46 pm

peester

hurshy, op+lst vowel + ci 4/7

12:46 pm

Uneaixoise

doesn't have to be a straight line, just "touching"

12:47 pm

Lupe613

Farr - as long as you don't skip over a letter you are ok...in this case, all the letters are concurrent as you go around the other letter to get to the last two letters in the word - like boggle.

12:47 pm

cybernan

Hurshy -- degree of transparency

12:47 pm

mab

You're very warm, hurshy!

12:47 pm

Atalante

the C really has nothing to do with it. you have a make a "snake" as it were, so you can go diagonally to the right then back diagonally to the left without a problem

12:47 pm

caitlyn

hurshy op + vowel + ci4/7

12:47 pm

hurshy

12:47 pm

you seem to know when you're finished? How's that?

1:20 pm

Karys

there are 133 words to find ylleria

1:21 pm

Vicuna

Find out how many words there are for the day - either by asking or by going to the Babblers anonymous link to the right - and when you have found that number of words... voila! you're done!

1:21 pm

ylleria

Thanks, karys, but how do you know that?

1:22 pm

1:27 pm

Karys

Hi smiley :)

1:27 pm

ylleria

Yes, I saw vicuna's post, thanks for that.

My username doesn't really mean anything, it was just made up for a role-playing game. It's really useful online as it's never already taken.

1:28 pm

Haz1558

bo7/40 - relating to plants, some cities have these type of gardens.

1:28 pm

Karys

Atalante...21 here....not giving in yet !!!

1:29 pm

Dachef

can't believe "catonit" isnt a word. I use it all the time - "Why cant I sit on the sofa?" "Because theres a ......"

;)

Even' all!

1:29 pm

Angela

The only time I had heard anything like it was on the TV show Angel - Illeria was a character. I'm sure it's not ever taken!

1:29 pm

Smiley23_47393

i must not be very smart b/c I don't see 133 words in this this is my first day at it maybe I will figure it out:)

1:29 pm

agatehawk

ha! great clue, Haz

I love the b7/40 gardens in San Diego, actually

1:29 pm

Atalante

I wouldnt either, Karys, but I've got to go in a few minutes, so I'm rushing through the last few!

1:29 pm

Karys

LOL...LOL...Dachef !!!!.....hello bytheway :)

1:30 pm

ylleria

Oh yeah - I'd forgotten about Illeria on Angel, I was quite surprised when it first got mentioned!

1:30 pm

Haz1558

Glad you got it agate.

1:30 pm

Karys

thats it Atalante...time !!!

1:30 pm

Atalante

LOL Dachef - there should be dogonit too!

1:30 pm

Angela

Been too chatty - 50 to go...

HA Dachef! I suffer from that as well!

1:31 pm

Karys

going to make a big effort now with the 'c's

1:31 pm

Vicuna

Atalante, "dogonit" is useful even when you don't have a hound. "Dogonit, kids, I told you not to sit on the cat!"

Angela

So you know the show ylleria? that's great. Usually a Buffy or Angel reference gets me laughed out of the room! LOL

1:32 pm

Atalante

here its "dogonit dog, I told you not to sit on the cat"

1:35 pm

Dachef

actually, because I am a bachelor (and typical slobby male), its usually more along the lines of: "Why cant I sit on the sofa?" "Because its got the rancid remains of last nights take away on it."

1:35 pm

ylleria

I watched all of Buffy and Angel. And Firefly. In fact, I was at the second ever showing of the firefly film :)

1:36 pm

Vicuna

As long as you can still tell that apart from the cat, you're doing fine.

1:36 pm

Atalante

done

1:37 pm

Haz1558

Well.

1:37 pm

Angela

Good to know I'm not alone then...my husband gets a good chuckle that I own the entire DVD collections. hehe

1:37 pm

Dachef

congrats Atalante! Got a clue for the bo6/27?

1:37 pm

Vicuna

Congrats!

1:38 pm

Angela

Atalante - now that you're done - who is your icon?

1:38 pm

Angela

OOOO!! And congrats!!!

1:38 pm

Atalante

dachef - its a black grouper. you know, one of those words you use 10 times a day ... right ...

1:38 pm

Atalante

and its Hayden Christensen

1:39 pm

Haz1558

First three letters, 007's surname, next three begin opposite of alkali

1:39 pm

Karys

oohh WELL DONE Atalante !! :D

1:40 pm

Angela

Thanks Haz - the other grouper clues I didn't get but that one worked.

1:41 pm

Haz1558

That's good.

1:41 pm

Dachef

got it! Its actually Catalonian for "good-to-yes".

1:48 pm

Atalante

*interested* how do you know catalonian, dachef?

1:49 pm

Dachef

I dont really. My girlfriend is from Girona nr Barcelona. I only speak a few words. And those badly.

1:52 pm

Atalante

its a weird coincidence - I don't think I've ever known anyone who speaks catalonian before 2 weeks ago - and now I've met 2 people who speak it straight after each other

1:52 pm

Dachef

I really hate 7 letter words, my mind is just not that good! Anyone got the co7/32?

1:54 pm

Karys

Chef...a dish co/7..of so many ingredients

1:55 pm

Dachef

and I realy hate it when the word turns out to be a word in common usage like that instead of a medical term or something else obscure! Cheers Karys!!!

1:56 pm

Dachef

Atalante - who else do you know speaks Catalonian?

1:56 pm

Karys

yw chef....know exactly what you mean...I couldn't see the 's'. washing thing earlier !!

1:58 pm

Atalante

she's someone I met through a Finnish friend - she's an artist and fellow Tolkien freak who comes from somewhere near Barca but lives in Ireland!

1:59 pm

mab

May I have guidance on pt6 please? was sure it had to be ptocin, but obviously it's not. (I'm so annoyed with myself -- spent at least 20 minutes looking for the last sn5/10 if you can believe that)

1:59 pm

Haz1558

pt plus ot4

2:00 pm

mab

Bless you Haz. Done.

2:01 pm

jeffer

Haz1558

Congratulations!

2:02 pm

Haz1558

The second oc 6 uses a different last letter - just one along in the alphabet

2:03 pm

snowyowl

Hi all -back from dinner & watching Child of our Time - it was a lovely episode about triplets.

2:03 pm

Dachef

Atalante

2:04 pm

Karys

Haz1558

The ab 4 used to be used as a derogatory term for native Australians.

jeffer

2:05 pm

agatehawk

whew! I thought I was going crazy....

2:05 pm

Haz1558

2:06 pm

Schroeder

Hi all!! One word left...not even a biggie....*sight*

2:07 pm

Karys

well thats it....STUCK...going to have to go for the list !!!

2:07 pm

Dachef

Maybe that is why MrP left it off the list - she is Australian, and that word can be pretty offensive there.

2:08 pm

snowyowl

2:15 pm

Schroeder

Wow Dachef, that sounds so exciting!!!

2:16 pm

Haz1558

An 5/10 - if you have the an 4 which means 'against' then the an 5 is the plural.

2:16 pm

snowyowl

Dachef! great news! You won't be far from home then!
CATHB works not far from there -she'll no doubt be popping in for lunch -They have a ladies who lunch group.

2:21 pm

jeffer

bugzy anagram for a currency

2:21 pm

Schroeder

2:21 pm

jeffer

2:22 pm

boreetos

2:22 pm

Vicuna

2:22 pm

Bugzy

Aargh... no wonder I couldn't get it !!
Thank you, everyone :D

2:23 pm

Vicuna

in5 - not appropriate, like clumsy, but with different middle vowel

2:23 pm

Haz1558

ta 5/10 always gives bother! First three letters 'to colour in the sun' then homonym of two

2:24 pm

sherb

evening folks :D

2:25 pm

Bugzy

Welcome, adavant!
The number of words people get varies from day to day, since the number of words total varies for each puzzle. There are 133 today...

2:25 pm

boreetos

hi sherb.

2:25 pm

Schroeder

Hi Sherb!!!!

2:25 pm

Dachef

advant - depends on how many bottles of wine you've had. In my experience, the more wine you drink, the more words you find. After a coupla bottles, you dont really care. (hic).

2:25 pm

The Wac

how many words are there today?

2:25 pm

Karys

hi there sherb :)

2:26 pm

2:26 pm

adavant

2:26 pm

Schroeder

LOL Dachef, now I know your secret to finishing.....

2:27 pm

sherb

hi Karys, Bugzy, snowy :D :D :D ...I'm feeling tipsy just looking at the log...

2:27 pm

boreetos

lol dachef. I prefer beer, but the rules are the same either way.

2:27 pm

Bugzy

Many people find all the words every day, using the tools on Babblers Anonymous or Angelsong's Page (links to the right under Friends of Babble)

2:27 pm

jeffer

the wac follow the thread for adavant who just asked a similar question to yours

2:27 pm

Atalante

and after lots of alcohol, all the stupidhead words somehow seem to make sense ...

2:28 pm

adavant

how can I get a little flag beside my name ..sniff

2:28 pm

The Wac

2:28 pm

Vicuna

2:30 pm

boreetos

hi fmitch.

2:30 pm

Schroeder

Hi FMitch, Congrats!!!!!

2:31 pm

Bugzy

To get a flag and a picture and a handbag, you need to buy a Pro subscription. $10 for a lifetime of fun and addiction!!
You also get a nifty little grid that shows you the # of words beginning with each tile...

2:31 pm

snowyowl

Hi Fmitch!

2:31 pm

Karys

hi FMitch....Well Done there..!!...:)

2:31 pm

boreetos

2:32 pm

Schroeder

Must heat up lunch...brb

2:32 pm

stubie

I agree, adavant.

2:32 pm

Karys

you got a blue one boreetos....how many do you want ?

2:32 pm

Bugzy

But you've got a lovely blue handbag Boreetos!

2:33 pm

FMitch

Hey to everyone and thanks for the greetings.

2:33 pm

boreetos

:) wow, I'm really dense. I finally get that joke. :) thanks for pointing out the insanely obvious. I'll just put my head down now and wait for someone to touch my thumb.

2:34 pm

buttmunch

how many words?

2:34 pm

Vicuna

Boreetos, that little light-skinned bloke in the blue shirt next to your flag, that's meant to be a handbag!

2:34 pm

adavant

stubie..it hardly makes much sense does it?..I mean..why not just get my mother to play for me ..

2:34 pm

stubie

What's the biggest word anyone's got?

2:35 pm

Bugzy

People use different help tools as they wish. Some use no tools at all. It's personal preference, and not really a competition for many of us...

2:35 pm

stubie

Err, I want a clue, not the word.

2:35 pm

Karys

oh dear boreetos....never mind...just shows you're one of us !!!

2:35 pm

boreetos

hey stubie, wouldn't telling you be the same as looking it up?

2:35 pm

adavant

i have a snobtap fro 7 letters..

2:36 pm

Dachef

I still say the "handbags" are more like coins going into slots. Although that could just be a macho thing cos I dont want to be associated with owning a handbag.

2:36 pm

peester

Hi all. cocktail hour already? I was here earlier and no one was drinking. This must be the fun group.

2:36 pm

stubie

Clue, dude, not word.

2:36 pm

adavant

stubie didnt ask for the word, just how many letters

2:37 pm

boreetos

i look until I get really stuck, then I look at the second letter list, ask for hints as needed as pretty much proceed like that until I run out of time for the day. But there is the rare exception when I've got just a small handful of words left and really want to finish the grid, a task that happens quite infrequently, and so I resort to the wordfinders.

2:37 pm

gwenski

The largest word in this puzzle is 8 letters.

2:37 pm

Bugzy

There's one 8-letter word today, that's the longest one...

2:37 pm

buttmunch

bo 8/50

2:37 pm

Vicuna

Stubie, no one ever gives out the words. (At least, not on purpose.) The lists people are talking about give the first letter or two, and number of letters or points, so that you can figure out which words you already have and where you should try looking for more.

2:37 pm

stubie

Oh, drat. If there's only one, I already have it. It's a 50 pointer.

2:38 pm

FMitch

bo8/50 someone who works with plants

2:38 pm

Dachef

And done. All hail the little grey boxes.

Anyone stuck?

2:38 pm

buttmunch

too much help

2:38 pm

sherb

stubie/adavant - lists give you a CLUE if you're stuck, and they only show the first two letters... :D

2:38 pm

Bugzy

Hi peester. It's always cocktail hour somewhere on Babble :)

2:38 pm

Schroeder

Hurray Dachef!!!!

2:38 pm

Karys

Congrats Chef...!!!!

2:38 pm

stubie

I'm not trying to insult anyone. As was pointed out, there are people who use tools (including a dictionary) and those who don't. I have no problem with those people at all.

2:38 pm

snowyowl

Congrats Dachef!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:39 pm

Bugzy

Ya4 for Dachef!

2:39 pm

hey! I'm a bo8/50!! yay me!

2:40 pm

boreetos

hi Lupe, that's really what it's all about isn't it? I don't see this as a competition or anything, just an escape for a little while. :)

2:40 pm

Dachef

Hey Lupe! good conversation? Here? Where? I want it conered and shot. Things like that should not be allowed on Babble.

2:41 pm

stubie

HOLY COW THAT IS A LOT OF WORDS.

2:41 pm

sherb

all hail the blatherer... hi Lupe!!

2:41 pm

adavant

well I still say using clues is like getting yer mom to do your homework

2:41 pm

Vicuna

sherb, did you grow them in a bo7 garden?

2:41 pm

peester

You're right bugzy... and the clues do seem more spot on after a martini or two! I finished early today, thanks to some botany & math clues from some newcomers (Hi new people)

2:41 pm

snowyowl

Hi smaller!!

2:41 pm

gwenski

Another option if you don't like clues: Hide the chat log.

2:41 pm

Lupe613

hi smaller, bugzy, snowy, schroe, *takes breath*, FMitch, Dachef, boreetos *blacks out momentarily*

2:41 pm

It's not homework, adavant, it's supposed to be FUN! :)

2:42 pm

genesis9183

can anyone tell me how many words are in today's puzzle? Still haven't sprung for that premium membership yet :)

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

adavant

exwren.. I have no idea what any of that means..

2:42 pm

Bugzy

Smaller: as long as you're not a sn4/6!!

2:42 pm

HI Sherb!! Of course!! I only have a degree and a job in it, but i'm still quite ignornant. I'd probably kill cress and mustard!

hi bugzy and snowy!

2:42 pm

genesis9183

oops, nevermind, just saw it! thanks!

2:42 pm

sherb

Vi - actually, I grew them on a flannel... but thanks for the clue!!

2:42 pm

Karys

2:42 pm

Schroeder

Hi Lupe, Hey I have sun today :)

2:42 pm

ExWren

Everyone to their own choice. I prefer to use a2z when I am stuck for a word, there are some very unusual words in these puzzles

2:43 pm

boreetos

ok kids, I got to get back to work, I'll see you all in a few short hours. :)

2:43 pm

adavant

f mitch.. I dont even know what or where or where the log is..

2:44 pm

Atalante

adavant - what you and I are typing in is the log

2:44 pm

sherb

adavant - the log would be the long wordy thing that says 'CHAT LOG' at the top... :D

2:44 pm

Dachef

<runs to catch up with log that is moving faster than a whippet with diorrhea>

and on that note I must leave you all. Good luck, and good night.

2:45 pm

Lupe613

Yup - got sun out here too! nice blue sky.

Dachef - always ready with a perfect turn of phrase :D ...nitey nite :D

2:46 pm

Karys

bye chef :)

2:46 pm

TheFiz

hi there - is there really a word that starts with PT?!?! I'm at a total loss here....

2:47 pm

gwenski

Just 3 words and I'll be done. Any clues for the last three ca's? They may be obvious words, but I'm oblivious!

2:47 pm

TheFiz

2 of the three ca's are small chickens...

2:47 pm

adavant

exwren..I have no problem with the chatting aspect of the game.. I think its good.. its the clue stuff I dont get

2:47 pm

Lupe613

Hope so -- you never know with Chicago weather - there could be 2 feet of snow by the time I leave work in an hour. I'd never know since I am enclosed in my little box here.... rumor is we'll be getting colder weather....

2:47 pm

Bugzy

pt6/24 - add the o4/5 that has to do with ears

2:47 pm

sherb

The FIz - try a2zwordfinder.com or morewords.com... :D

2:48 pm

Vicuna

but the third from the end is the chicken with its tail cut off!

2:48 pm

Haz1558

gwen - ca4 - a hat plus a vowel (guitarists use this)
ca5 - instruction to child to don a hat ( or type of chicken)
ca 6- plural

2:48 pm

Schroeder

Bye Dachef...

Lupe isn't it a beautiful site :) News says no snow here till Friday....woot

2:48 pm

ExWren

It's an Irish cocktail, and faerie and I started with the same one, but it's like going to a wedding in the same dress, she changed hers!

2:48 pm

Lupe613

I'm looking for 80's - so so disappointed.

2:48 pm

sherb

adavant - read Angelsong's Babble Page - link on the right of the screen... it's really useful for new Babblers... and have fun :D

2:49 pm

Bugzy

There were wet flurries flying around at lunch... Not supposed to get above 45 here for the next week or so... This is spring???

2:49 pm

TheFiz

thanks bugzy - anyone know what that means? been following the clue discussion and i personally like to learn new words.

2:49 pm

gwenski

Thanks all!

2:49 pm

Lupe613

It is in our parts Bugzy.....

2:50 pm

peester

adavant, the kind of clues you see depends upon who's here at the time. Some give definition clues, some give "sounds like", others hint at letters (hoop = o, 2nd vowel = e). It just depends - there's mystery! there's humor! there's helpfulness! even, dare I say, sarcasm?

2:50 pm

snowyowl

The Fizz clicking on the ? next to the word should give you the definition

2:50 pm

Bugzy

Fiz - it's the adjective form of "Abnormal lowering or drooping of an organ or a part, especially a drooping of the upper eyelid caused by muscle weakness or paralysis." If you click on the ? by the word, it pulls up the definition. :)

2:50 pm

Schroeder

I agree Bugzy, hard to get excited about spring when I have 4 ft of snow on the ground and more still coming....

2:51 pm

Bugzy

I hear you Lupe & Schro ...
Oops, BRB ...

2:51 pm

Vicuna

Well, it usually gives a definition, but for some reason the question marks use a different dictionary from the game and sometimes the question marks don't know what the game is talking about.

2:51 pm

TheEngine

Man, the bo 6 and 7 are giving me fits

2:52 pm

Haz1558

bo6/27 - first three letters of 007's name, followed by first letters of opposite of alkaline

Haz1558

bo 7/40 is the plural

2:53 pm

peester

engine: bo 6... think child star (partridge kid) now obnoxious adult actor Danny Bo++++ci and drop the du in the middle. For bo 7, add s to the end

2:53 pm

btwrt

how many words today?

2:53 pm

TheFiz

TheEngine - it's a fish, which might not help. Think of the actor who played the youngest partridge - and take out the "du" from his last name.

Vicuna,
She gets a TON!!! Doesn't seem right does it? I questioned that too. Shouldn't it be a law that if you get to live in CA it has to be sunny and 75 always!!

3:09 pm

TheFiz

mo - ever take trigonometry?

3:10 pm

Vicuna

co5 and 6 - think of people browning their skin together (sing. and pl.)

3:10 pm

Every February I get the urge to run away to Australia... then Spring comes & I'm okay with Virginia once again

3:17 pm

Vicuna

okay, mo, start with a camp bed or bed in an infirmary, then add first two letters of the name of Shakespeare's wife. Does that work?

3:17 pm

Lupe613

LOL snowy.. the only downside is that we have to travel for about 5 hours to get to the "sleepy fishing town" we'll be staying at....all this to stay away from spring breakers!

3:18 pm

Lupe613

Ooh Jera - I'd love to visit Australia in Jan/Feb...too soon after x-mas cash flow usually low then.

3:18 pm

Karys

thats the bit 11 year olds don't like !!

3:39 pm

Hi chic & MM
MM it's so good to multi task! LOL
I saw the Steph Plum conversation yesterday & still can't think who I'd like for either. Johnny Depp is very good to look at but is he too slight to play Ranger?

3:39 pm

Lupe613

mo - it ends and begins with the same letter - the middle three letters are used in many company names?

3:39 pm

musicmom

Oooo chic I agree. UM scept I don't get HBO we're on satellite.

3:40 pm

musicmom

Snowy - that's funny. I thought Johnny Depp for him as well.

3:41 pm

Hi Sherb and Snowy, 'nut did pick Sandra Bullock too. I think we need to search for hot Italian and Cuban unknown actors!

3:41 pm

Karys - I go back and forth thinking I have loads of time and totally freaking out!

3:41 pm

Oh I am glad -not very good at actors or groups & I didn't like him at all until I saw Chocolat & after that - well ****************************** ** A girl can dream!

need the ta 5/14 pls

7:20 pm

tobin

I've just got a question about how you guys know what you're missing... like I know I'm missing 3 A's, but how do I know how long the word is and the point value of what I'm missing?

7:20 pm

stidmama

Sheryl, ta 5/14 is a weed, poisonous to cattle and can poison the milk as well; if you change the t to a p it spells a common flower in gardens

7:22 pm

kristinc

tobin, go to the babbler's anonymous link on the right of this page, click on general and then go to the stats page. It will give you the first two letter of the words in the puzzle and the point values.

7:22 pm

stidmama

Maybe I should introduce myself. I have been here about five days now, with a personal goal to get at least 100 words each day. Balancing work at home with word games... And this week one of my two kids is home sick. So I am only getting about half the chatter today.

7:22 pm

LeslieAnn

tobin... go the the babblers anonymous link to the right, then click general, then click stats, you'll get a second letter list

7:22 pm

Luther F.

tobin, see babblers anonymous link to the left for stat sheet

7:22 pm

kristinc

Also, if you upgrade to pro it will give a you a stats panel that tells you what tile the words are in.

7:22 pm

LeslieAnn

nice to meet the new folks

7:23 pm

Luther F.

oh yea right

7:24 pm

kristinc

Welcome new friends.
Hello old friends.

7:24 pm

tobin

awesome, thanks, yeah I went pro, but I didn't know how everyone was coming up with the first two letters, lengths and point values from the info it gives you there

7:25 pm

Sherylr1961

ty stid thats the t's done down to 3 words

7:26 pm

kristinc

Well between the two aides Tobin you should be great. I actually like using both on long puzzles because the pro tile help and second letter list really give you two different types of information.

7:26 pm

dinoshadow

Jacula

Evening you lot!

1st bo7/40 is a fish. However, it is also an anagram of a plural of white vermouth. Cinzano Bi*****.

8:49 pm

lwg50

Ok, I am officially word blind with 5 to go...I need a clue for the pa5/14 and the subsequent pa6/24. I would be verrrry grateful.

8:49 pm

Jacula

The bo6/27 before it is the singular.

8:50 pm

mrpresident

lwg 'don't pa****"! you will get it

8:50 pm

Jacula

pa5/14 - if you are very afraid you might pa***.

8:50 pm

Jacula

pa6/24 following is the plural.

8:51 pm

andy12489

hi aknitter, not my birthday, it is i n Dec b4 Xmas
just a geometric row (1248) with an exceptional termination (9) LOL

8:51 pm

lwg50

thanks, Jacula. I guess I did pa***. I am also looking for clues for the first 2 to words. to6/21 and to7/32

8:52 pm

lwg50

mr. pres also thank you

8:53 pm

Jacula

AKnitter - I'm currently knitting (yet another) hairy scarf for my Mum. It's a grey, silver, white and black mix and looks like a ZZ Top beard. I think I might get photographed wearing it and pretend I'm Dr_God. LOL.

8:54 pm

aknitter

i can only imagine what you might look like with a beard jac I am working on a shrug right now

8:55 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi everyone!

8:55 pm

Jacula

to6/21 & plural 7/32 is/are a warning sounded on a bell, or an omen. However, they sound rather toxic, like poisons.

8:56 pm

Jacula

Wolfie!)))))))))))))))HUGS(((( (((((((((((((((((

(Sorry, Seb! But you must be getting used to it by now.)

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

Oh I got smart tonight, Jac -- I finally pulled out the old bouncy seat we used with Kristianna - he is snoozing in it right now :)

8:57 pm

GreyWoulf

(((((***Jac***)))))

8:59 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Wonderful inventions, those things, provided you don't put them on a table or something and then leave the room! My son used to bounce to, aaargh, I can hardly say it, 'Agadoo' by Black Lace in his bouncy chair back in 1984.

8:59 pm

lwg50

thanks Jacula... I am finished. I appreciate the help!

9:00 pm

GreyWoulf

ta6?

9:00 pm

Jacula

Well done, lwg. I hardly did anything, really. I only just got back in here.

9:02 pm

Jacula

ta6/18 - sounds like someone who sunbathes professionaly. Anagram of 'taints'.

9:02 pm

badcat

pt 6/24, anyone?

will trade any clue

9:02 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks

9:03 pm

bruzie

pt + vowel + small annoying insect

9:04 pm

Jacula

pt6/24 - adjective form of term for abnormal lowering or drooping of an organ or a part, especially a drooping of the upper eyelid caused by muscle weakness or paralysis.

Go for the clue before mine to find it!

9:06 pm

Jacula

Failing that, it's an anagram of 'tip cot'.

9:07 pm

GreyWoulf

It figures --- Kristianna is asleep, Momma just stepped into the shower, and I get settled at the keyboard and guess who decides that waking up and making noise would be a good idea? :D

9:09 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - Give me an 's', give me an 'e', give me a 'b', give me an 'a'....etc., what's that spell?

With thanks to the cheer from Woodstock. LOL.

9:10 pm

badcat

thank you Jac and bruzie. It was the 'tipcot' that solved for me.

9:11 pm

whiskbisk

but but .... soba is a kind of noodle

9:11 pm

Jacula

Badcat - any time you need an anagram you know where to call. LOL. A lifetime of doing cryptic crosswords is my only excuse.

9:12 pm

GreyWoulf

whisk -- you know that, I know that, but the Enable dictionary doesn't know that!

9:12 pm

Jacula

Whiskbisk - Welcome to the unfair world of Babbleonia, where words we know and love are rejected and words we've never heard of before are embraced and accepted like long lost sons.:-)

9:12 pm

LeslieAnn

at 6/21?

9:13 pm

holographoenix

gin and a

9:13 pm

andy12489

LeslieAnn
a + kind of soda water

9:14 pm

LeslieAnn

hmmm, always so much easier after i have a clue...

9:15 pm

TaraK

hi badcat - look what you made me do!! this is addictive!!

9:15 pm

Jacula

at6/21 - an unaccented word or syllable or a lack of muscle tone. Or, if you want a gin, you might also want a t*** to go with it.

9:16 pm

Jacula

Tarak - Oh dear, Babble claims yet another victim. LOL.

9:17 pm

TaraK

i KNOW jacula - this is crazy! good thing i can't do this at work or i would get nothing done...

9:17 pm

Jacula

I mean - why do 'you people' keep on falling for it? We leave warnings on the doormat these days so that other 'poor souls' don't fall into the trap we all did. *Sound of eerie, cackling laughter.*

9:17 pm

andy12489

op 7/44 anyone?

9:18 pm

Jacula

Andy - op7/44 - think of the qualities of frosted glass.

9:18 pm

stidmama

I am down to two words... can someone help me with ti 5/12? I am not sure which other one I am missing yet.

9:19 pm

andy12489

Jacula - thanks but don't get it :-(

9:20 pm

Jacula

ti5/12 - more normally seen with 'ure' at the end. Think og a shade of hair dye and add another consonant in the middle.

9:21 pm

TaraK

me neither.

9:21 pm

weslie

op+vowel+a metropolitan area

9:21 pm

Jacula

Andy - frosted glass can't be seen through, it is op****. (That word uses a 'q'.) It therefore has op****. Op+ large town.

9:21 pm

Jacula

Think op+ New York.

9:22 pm

LeslieAnn

weslie, maybe we are related!

9:22 pm

GreyWoulf

op7 -- the quality of being impervious to light -- root word is a op5 that uses a Q

9:22 pm

TaraK

oh... got it! duh!! good jacula... now only um 71 to go says the newbie...

9:23 pm

weslie

maybe...my middle name is ann as well...from the south, where we all have 2 names...hah

9:24 pm

andy12489

GOt it, thanks you JAcula and GreyWoulf

9:24 pm

LeslieAnn

well, i usually don't use the ann but when i signed up just leslie was already taken :)

9:25 pm

Jacula

Wolfie - I take it you either have Seb on your lap or he's settled down?

9:25 pm

GreyWoulf

Anytime, andy -- you have but to ask :)

9:26 pm

weslie

i don't usually use it either...just have memories of getting in trouble as a child....the parents always used both of them if i was in trouble

9:26 pm

Jacula

y/w, Andy.

9:28 pm

Jacula

Weslie - parents ALWAYS use your full name if you're 'in trouble'. It's a fact of life. You will also find that, depending on what you've done, you will either be 'just like your father' or 'just like your mother'. This can also be detected by seeing which one is saying, 'YOUR son has just....' to the other.

9:28 pm

stidmama

TY Jacula! I must be tired... took me forever to figure out what you meant!

9:29 pm

Jacula

Weslie - or daughter. Sorry! Just noticed your handbag (purse) is pink. Not used to Weslie as a female name here in England.

9:29 pm

weslie

very true...not just indicative of the southern usa

9:31 pm

Jacula

Stidmama - y/w. Mind you, you may not be tired. I could just be obscure. LOL.

9:31 pm

weslie

my dads name is david wesley...mom was julie ann....they compromised with a little combo, but changed the spelling ...i was stinky in the 3rd grade when i had a dorothy hammil haircut and looked like a boy!

9:32 pm

Jacula

LOL, Weslie. Despite being 'a Brit', I know what you mean.

9:34 pm

kristinc

hi guys...back for my final 21!

9:34 pm

Jacula

This site, and others, on the word wide web, where you get to spea from people all over the world, has taught me that the greatest difference in language is, amazingly, between Britain and the United States. On the face of it we all speak the same language, but the differences and misunderstandings that occur on a day to day basis leave me wondering how our countries are still allies. LOL.

9:35 pm

Jacula

Hi, Kristinc. Not sleepless in Seattle, I hope? Sorry! Bad joke. I'm sure you've heard it before.

9:36 pm

GreyWoulf

Hi Kristi! (*Hug*) -- 26 left here :)

9:36 pm

kristinc

very true Jac, there have been quite a few moments of confusion over differences in word usage

9:37 pm

kristinc

LOL Jacula! To be honest, I think this is the first time so actually very funny.

9:37 pm

stidmama

I did it!!!! I got them all!!! [for the first time] Time for ice cream, and then back to work. Thanks to all for clues -- and for giving me something that approximates adult conversation (grin).

9:37 pm

Jacula

Kristinc - The first? Blimey! That's a coup for me then! LOL.

hi all could someone give a clue with the bo7/40 which doesn't realate to bo8/50?

9:41 pm

Jacula

Her are a couple of words used differently that my other half, Paul, has almost got himself into trouble over....
Pants: UK = men's underwear or big knickers for girls. US = trousers.

Cooker: UK = stove with grill atop and hob and oven beneath. US = ??? What?

9:43 pm

Jacula

bo7/40 you seek is the plural of the bo 6 before it.

9:43 pm

kristinc

sounds about right for cooker here jac-though not a common word.
What about Napkins? That gets misunderstood in lots of countries though here in the US most of us wipe our hands and face with them.

9:43 pm

hurshy

*a depressed hurshy enters the chatroom*
*is slightly cheered by sight of evilolive, whose palindromic name pleases her*

9:44 pm

LeslieAnn

oh hursh feel better! good choice of cocktail!

9:44 pm

evilolive

here rubber=eraser, and while living in the states i asked to borrows someones rubber.... was rather embarrasing!!

9:44 pm

evanonut

hurshy, depressed?

9:44 pm

kristinc

Hurshy-Why so glum?
Hah! I didn't even get the evilolive thing until now!

9:44 pm

hurshy

thanks leslie

9:45 pm

co 7/32 hints pleease

9:45 pm

GreyWoulf

what's up, hursh?

(*hursh*)

9:45 pm

hurshy

glum bc... someone doesn't want to talk to me. don't know why.

9:45 pm

kristinc

very true evilolive. That would not get you an eraser in the US.

9:45 pm

Jacula

The proper word for the now-called 'serviette' to wipe your hands and face on IS 'napkin' here in UK. Not many people seem to know that now. The other 'napkin', now a nappy or nappie, here, is what babies wear.

9:45 pm

evilolive

hurshy you are the first to notice!!

9:46 pm

LeslieAnn

that's because hurshy is a smartie!

9:46 pm

hurshy

i noticed the other day, evilolive, but didn't say anything bc you had already left

9:46 pm

kristinc

a napkin in Mexico will get you help for women--I learned that one the hard way.

9:46 pm

evanonut

anyone important hurshy

9:46 pm

9:47 pm

evanonut

i'm sorry then hursh, you think it will work its way out?

9:47 pm

hurshy

yes, nut... in about 5 days...

9:48 pm

hurshy

thank you all so much for the hugs. they are very very appreciated.

9:48 pm

Jacula

co7/32 - if something is a mixture of things, it may co**** of various ingredients. Failing that, think of your sister in jail (or gaol) - she'd be your co* s**.

9:48 pm

hurshy

co7 - to be made up of

hello everyone. does anyone have a clue for the big op word?

Hi TO!

9:53 pm

evilolive

temple its an aussie slang term for a native austrailan

9:53 pm

hurshy

to 6/21 as i learned today - alarm bells - sounds like a word for something poisonous

9:53 pm

pinecone05

to 6 is clock noise + bad deed

9:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Temple. First word is a derogrative term for Australian natives.

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

leslie ann: alarm - think french revolution

9:54 pm

LeslieAnn

ah, thanks folks

9:55 pm

Jacula

Thing is, Carl, it sounds like 'ebbos' when you say it! LOL.

9:55 pm

NatLT

hello lil leslie!

9:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks jacs!

i would really appreciate your help, all to finish last two...ti5/12 is one of them

9:57 pm

LeslieAnn

well hello nat!

9:58 pm

hurshy

ti 5/12 has to do with color, and only has one vowel

9:58 pm

kristinc

Done...yipee!
Hiya Nat!

9:58 pm

pinecone05

start with a word for color and add a letter in the middle

9:59 pm

Jacula

I was once at a writers' convention, trying to translate between a Glaswegian and a Brisbanian. The Scot was trying to tell the Aussie about the point of a film, that the so-called heroes shot the Aboriginal. Eventually, tired of hearing them not understanding each other, I resorted to my knowledge of 'strine' from watching 'Neighbours' and 'Cell Block H'. 'Thay shat the Ebbo!' I told the Brisbanian. 'Oh!' he said, understanding at last. 'I always wondered what that was about.' RESULT! LOL.

9:59 pm

hurshy

congrats, ms. ducky

9:59 pm

NatLT

hey momma k!! How are you doing this evening?

10:00 pm

pinecone05

funny story Jacula..made me laugh

10:00 pm

Jacula

ti5/12 - more normally seen with 'ure' at the end. Think og a shade of hair dye and add another consonant in the middle.

10:00 pm

kristinc

Jac I learn so much from playing this game with you ;)

Nat-MommaK still cracks me up 24 hours later...I'm tired but good. I had today off, no complaints here.
